Off Track



Life as a discovery
That happiness can be a creative state
Enjoy the good
But don’t settle
Self-complacency keeps you deluded
Take that step further
You know that mediocrity keeps the system going
You won’t be projected
Your work won’t get elected
Instead expect to be rejected
For that relentlessness living inside of you
Stops you from being satisfied with such littleness

Wondering, figuring out decoding
It’s a constant math
You know life ought to be fairer, truer

Life
It ain’t easy
Keep in route
It will lead you somewhere
Rough Times
Make you change
Stay awake
Ohhhhhhh

We’re all just ordinary people
Being part of a whole that is failing
We’re settling for something unwanted
‘Cos our course didn’t go as planned
