From Driven

I once woke up from a bump on the road
That I quickly dismissed
I once woke up with the fear to implode
Seemed to strongly persist

Sometimes I think I'm not awake at all
In trance and longing for the curtain call
Trapped and driven by my own slave system
Fuck the system, FUCK THE SYSTEM

To be in charge, I gladly pay my dues
Be wide awake with no excuse
What's worth the pain cannot be simply given
Far beyond, far from driven

Far from driven — with open eyes
Far from driven — I will rise
Driven — Rise
Far beyond, far from driven

I just woke up with my head in a noose
Way too sick to pretend
I just woke up with the lack of excuse
I just hit dead end

Gimme all, gimme all that's real
From back to front, hands on the wheel
Full in control, failing forward
Full force forward, full force forward

To be in charge, I gladly pay my dues
Be wide awake with no excuse
What's worth the pain cannot be simply given
Far beyond, far from driven

Far from driven — with open eyes
Far from driven — I will rise
Driven — Rise
Far beyond, far from driven
