Life: A Fate Worse Than Death

from The Wilderness by Settle Your Scores

	/

lyrics

I could think of a million better ways to spend my time, instead I’m sleepwalking through days while life’s just passing me by.
And I’ve been trying hard to count my lucky stars in the blackest skies.
Truth is, I don’t think I’ve ever felt less alive.
Now I don’t mean to play the victim but I’m so stuck in repetition and I can’t escape.

Over and over, the days run together.
Time flies by but my life’s going nowhere.
And I’ll drown if I don’t make it out of this dead end town, cause I swear this routine is gonna be the death of me.

With the weight of the world crashing down on my head, it’s no surprise that I can barely drag myself out of bed.
When every day is the same feels like I’m wasting away.
This monotony is killing me.
My life is like a broken record still stuck on repeat.

Can’t break this cycle of apathy.
Is this what’s left of me?
Stuck in this hell I’ve built myself.
Is it too late for me to make it out?
