Clinging to a dream
From when I was a spoiled kid
Working hard for something
That can’t be realized
Hanging on so tightly
To goals and aspirations
That just won’t fall in line
With the way the world has turned
Feel like I’ve walked forever
In the opposite direction
Towards a new horizon
A line I’ll never cross
The fallacy of sunken costs
Keeps me moving onward
Maybe it’s just time
To give up and turn around
Or could it be that it’s lying there
Just beyond this next hill
I’ll never know for sure
I just know I’m tired
And I’m not sure there’s anything to say
