The Failed Son

I slipped out of the working world so many years ago
And I have the lost the will to return
List your mistakes to a stranger neutral to your plight

All these days I devoted to search and evolve
And here I am frozen in time
The onset of decay within my soul

The son of a broken family
And I will return to them in time
Where’s your destination in five years
I’ll either fade or be barely alive

And those with gold will carry on counting stacks
Ransoming a world for their so called talents
Using control like a plan of attack

All these days I have looked at the world in despair
And here I am slipping away
Shattering illusions of a world that’s fair

The son of a broken family
And I will return to them in time
Where’s your destination in five years
I’ll either fade or be barely alive

I find my friends in the same weak state as me
Angry but voiceless in a cruel vicious cycle
We find a way to drink away the days
Stuck between a slow death or an early grave

The son of a broken family
And I will return to them in time
Where’s your destination in five years
I’ll either fade or be barely alive
