Tormented Inside

We might as well all be puppets and life our puppeteer.

We're just characters in a storybook

Along for the ride.

Made to live and sadly

Eventually die.

And I don't know if I should laugh

Or maybe I'll cry

I'm just

Tormented inside.

We're just pawns set out on a chessboard

Waiting for a 

Move to be made.

Not knowing what lies before us

But stupidly striding forward

While staying in place.

I'm just

Tormented inside.

Whats up?

Whats down?

Does it matter?

When can

I live my own life?

(Are you kidding me?)

Looks like we're just along for the ride

Truly, tormented inside.

We're just another face on the record

Of people in a database.

Our role is to buy and be bought out

And moved to a destiny not yet ascertained.

Blindly leaping

When they say leap

Loyal dogs to society and I'm just

Tormented inside.
