Following My Mind

Its all about money now. It has to be..

My heart sleeps not bothering to wake me up
Because I'm taking the wrong turns, leaving my soul behind
Taking each breath but not charishing it
Living life not following my heart, but following my mind.

Because money solves many problems
But never the problems deep down under my skin
It creeps up once the money has all dissapeared
And my heart is see through, hiding somewhere within.

I know that I'm in the wrong with what I'm doing
But the problem is I don't really care
Because in my life, in my time I can turn around
Open up my dieing heart and make things fair.

For right now I'm taking a risk to save me
But still holding on tight, being completely confined.
Just waking up today so I'm still around tomorrow
Not following my silent heart, but my wondering mind.

I'm still not breaking any strict laws
Just taking a down fall to make things right again
But It's my heart that is suffering, crying all night long
That will be over soon enough, It should be happy then.

Hustling my sore body all around this world
Because time is money and money is devined
We are all fighting to have it all in this depressed world
And I'm not following my heart, just following my mind.

Living life not following my heart, but following my mind..yes let your mind sleep..your soul keep it locked or just toss it away
for this life you need another standards to follow so you can live..follow your ming through the wrong paths..its hard but that what it takes
know that I'm in the wrong with what I'm doing
But the problem is I don't really care
Because in my life, in my time I can turn around
Open up my dieing heart and make things fair..you are right you can put your heart to sleep and when things are right just call it back to life..only i wish it was that simple..for then it will eat itself awayjust like the soul will wither and die
For right now I'm taking a risk to save me
But still holding on tight, being completely confined.

A powerful statement to say the least. It speaks well to the attitude in youth of always time to change things while knowing all along they need to be changed. It is never the knowing, more the doing. I like the aBcB rhyme used, adds just enough to create a great flow without give it a sing-song nature of something like ABAB.

Nice job!
