fauxcroft

Crushed by the weight of expectation

And the awakened realisation

That the responsibility for this life you live

Rests upon the your shoulders which is existentialist

Because for so long we’ve blamed everyone else

Never stopped to look or examine ourselves

We’ve simply waited to be constantly fed

How we should think, act and believe,

Seen only what we are taught to see

Never learnt owning our own authority

For there is no authority but our own

The choices we make are ours alone

The mistakes we make are down to us

But rather than want to sail and navigate our journey

We kind of decided to take and ride the bus

Letting someone else decide which road to take

Slept most of the time, wasn’t fully awake

Reached the destination to find

It wasn’t what we were expecting by miles

So, who you going to blame, them or us

Why are you kicking up a fuss

You gave others control as to where your life would go

Don’t be surprised when it’s someone dark and cold

And a million miles from the place that you could regard as home

Now your bitter and angry because your grey and old

And it’s too late to change but that’s how it goes

When you just decide on going with the flow.
