So wipe off all the dust that has found its way
To your hopes and your dreams for so long
You've ignored them both long enough
No excuse - quid pro quo
You won't get anywhere until you finally get up go
There's the door, make some use of it now
Buy a watch, give it time to keep track of the ways
That you waste your life everyday
Feeling cold? Here's some comfort fresh off the fire
Fall in love, procreate
Buy this house, buy this car,
Buy your age, buy your weight
Then one day, you will die
You never saw that coming, did you? Did you?
You can spend all your time without purpose
And ignore all the things that you've noticed
After all, potential is just an ugly word
For a failure that has yet occurred
Or you could dig your heels into the soil
Halt the line, cause a break
Say you're not having this anymore
You can force feed all you'd like
But I would rather starve
So forget about fate
You'll only ever have what you work to create
That's a fact - there's no plan
That you don't have some say in
Now you'll see what is real
And not some subterfuge or facade
That was built to conceal
Clear your mind, make you warm
Make you tired, make you blank
Make you fine - I'm just fine
You can spend all your time without purpose
And ignore the whole time that you're worth it
After all, what could one individual be
In a world that's so dull, so inane, and so empty?
Dig your heels into the soil
Halt the line, cause a break
Say you're not having this anymore
You can force feed all you'd like
But I would rather starve
So forget about fate
You'll only ever have what you work to create
That's a fact - don't let go
Of all your foolish dreams; they're all you'll ever have
So wipe off all the dust
What are you waiting for?
