Lonely (1)
Lonely, alone, wealthy and unfulfilled,
life in that shell has got to be hell.
My hand against the wall and the other holding my brain,
out through my eyes I let my soul drain.
I’ve got no direction…I ain’t got nothing to lose.
Might even trade my paycheck for some extra time to snooze.
‘Cause whether I’m working or sleeping, the dreams are the same.
Can’t wait for the day when I’ve mastered the game.
