All for Nothing

Now I've grown tired of the same routine

Life it takes and it's never given again

The lies of the dream are dead and everything I lived for is failing me instead

So give me an answer or I'll just keep on asking

I wanna feel like a have a purpose

But all you do is exist to hurt us

Still waiting for something

Will it hurt like this when I die for nothing

Still waiting for something

Will it hurt like this when it's all for nothing

(When it's all for nothing)

Plagued from the hand that feeds

Its hard to think when I'm stuck inside this mental cage

(I'm rhyming words but there not on the same page)

Designed so cold and mechanic

Rejection alongside the panic

So was it worth it?

To be worthless

I wasted time just to feel like nothing again

Still waiting for something

Will it hurt like this when I die for nothing

Still waiting for something

Will it hurt like this when it's all for nothing

When it's all for nothing

(Warning)

How would you feel when your hope is gone

Would you just stand by

Let it all go wrong?

When you're looking for the means to survive

Are you chasing the dream?

Are you changing your life?

Everything is against the odds

I have a future but its not in my hands

All this time I thought I stood for something

Will be a waste when I die for nothing

Still waiting for something

Will it hurt like this when I die for nothing

Still waiting for something

Will it hurt like this when it's all for nothing
