futility
( music/lyrics: n.dru )

there was a time when we believed
the world was in our hands
before it all came crashing down
with its conditions and demands
lost was i, in asking why
answers i'll never understand
one by one we all gave in
and laid our weapons in the sand

there's nothing in this vacant void
left to stimulate
no new ideas, no challenges
nothing to create
all that's left are garbage thoughts
recycled, rebuilt, deadweight
while the voices of tomorrow's hope
choke and suffocate

all the days run together
all the colors melt away
the passion we thought would last forever
just fades, and fades, and fades
all the words run together
all the songs all sound the same
the bonds we thought we'd never sever
rust and break, and break, and break

resigned now, to a life of quiet mediocrity
ambition bleeds away, washed in waves of apathy
screaming pleas for reason, ignored, dismissed insanity
disaffected souls astray, victims of banality

all i hear are words
floating through the air
but they seem to have no meaning
and i really couldn't care
i watch them going through the motions
like so many scripted lines
it looks to me just like an act
but they're convinced it's life
