Catalyst

When I awoke with a start today, determination was set.
Filled with expectation, sacks of soul to collect.

But I am so fearful of the future,
Ignorant of the present,
And wary of the past.

And through the door
I shuffle quietly down the hall,
Identical corridors and artificial lights.

The man in the box, born to set my world to rights,
Effortlessly soon ignites the screaming in my head.

Reborn, the catalyst will blow my joy away.
I bet you thought that I'd have so much more to say.
Come save me now (x2).

But I am so fearful of the future,
Ignorant of the present, I'm wary of the past.
Well, I don't want to,
But it's now a case of HAVE to!
I [bad word] away for pittance,
Suck up to the man.

No wonder - I'm tired
When I awoke - with - a start today.
