The restraints of society, the complexities of propriety
So much left behind me, new pain here to bind me
In a place with such boundaries that need to define me
Each deed done more blindly, each word spoken less kindly

People get sick to the tick and the tock of the clock
When every hope is a trick and a dream is a mock
Can't we have some time to choose our own way
Some small peace of mind, one borrowed day

When it's all gotten confusing to the point of amusing
You laugh away your sanity at everything you're losing
And your time's all spent musing on self depiction you're ruining
And you're convinced you deserve the absurd self abusing
