Slave To The Routine

Slave to the routine
Clocking in and clocking out now
Slave to the machine
Sitting, staring at the screen
Slowly going numb
But I need to feel it, need to fight it
Smash the screen and close my eyes at last

Heart racing, gonna smash the walls down
Breaking out of this cage
I feel like I'm going to snap now
Can't bottle up this rage

When every day's the same
I don't wanna play that game
Time to run away
When every day's the same
I don't wanna feel that shame
Time to run away

Eyes are dry and strained
Watching my life passing by now
Conditioning ingrained
To this desk forever chained
Slowly going numb
But I need to feel it, need to fight it
Smash the desk and live my life at last

Deep inside my mind
I'll find my sanctuary
Deep inside my mind
I'll try to run and hide
