i awoke with a start today
determination set filled with expectation
sacks of soul to collect

but i am so fearful of the future
ignorant of the present
and wary of the past

and through the door i shuffle quietly down the hall
identical corridors and artificial lights
the man in the box born to set my world to rights
effortlessly soon ignites the screaming in my head

reborn the catalyst will blow my joy away
bet you thought that i'd have so much more to say
come save me now

but i am so fearful of the future
ignorant of the present
and wary of the past
and i don't want to but it's now a case of have to i piss away
for pittance and suck up to the man
no wonder i'm dying when i awoke with a start today
