Countless

What I want is a thing of the past

Flying on a breeze that will not last

Staring at those numbers, simply aghast

It’s no wonder that I’m feeling surpassed


Another day, another way to fall down

No longer concerned with whether you’re around

The issue at hand is those numbers below ground

It’s no wonder I just want to be found


With a new beat playing, it bears repeating

That I would kill for a promising meeting

The digits choking me have got me weeping

It’s no wonder my will is rapidly fleeting


They say I’m going to make it big one day

That is if I have enough, for it, to pay

The zeroes amass and force it to their way

It’s no wonder I have nothing to say


Waiting for the day I can finally lead

But for the time being I’ll beg and plead

For these numbers to stop embellishing their greed

It’s no wonder I can’t get what I need


Watching those who just keep taking more

And those who are comfortable being whores

And those not concerned with any number of chores

It’s no wonder I can’t get up off this floor


What I want is a thing of the past

Cataclysm of a dream that didn’t last

Staring at those numbers, simply aghast

It’s no wonder I’m wondering how long this will last…
