lyrics

Choked out by the hands of time
Worn down and numb from the daily grind
Feelings are merely an inconvenience
To the men who decide how free your freedom is

Clock in
Clock out
There is no way out
I made mine
I spent more
Drink until we hit the floor

Locked in to the 9 to 5
Forget what it means to be alive
Save to the system no difference made
Kept in line, always behave

I'm sinking into the deep end
Forgot what it means to be a real friend
Lost touch with everyone i know
In this place that I call my home

Unleash the shackles of society
I just want to be free

I'm all alone inside my head
I'm writing in these songs
Dreaming I was dead
Scared of uncertainty
And business based on misery

Locked in to the 9 to 5
Forget what it means to be alive
Save to the system no difference made
Kept in line, always behave

I'm sinking into the deep end
Forgot what it means to be a real friend
Lost touch with everyone i know
In this place that i call my home

There is only one thing that I know for sure

I need you more than each day needs it sun
I need you more than each night needs its moon
And just like the break of dawn or the fall of night
These moments of love are all over too soon
