INCONGRUITY

subtle prejudices
rock your comfort zone
survival’s the only way
got to do it on your own
the dream that brought you here
coerces you to start anew
labels are simply worthless
you need to change your point of view

feeling now the crunch
while running out of time
you begin to realize
it will be an uphill climb
conflicting thoughts are crawling
inside your exhausted mind
you are caught in between
now and what you’ve left behind

vanishing promises
dreams fading away
you feel the isolation
each and every single day
the urge intensifies
to step back and to press
the panic button to begin
cleaning up your own mess

it’s no longer the same
you’re on a hostile ground
the chance’s just a facade
so you will stick around
disturbing truths contradict
the values you have within
the choice’s all up to you
if you still want to fit in
