Finals eat me up

It's that time of year

The pressure is on me 

The facts beyond me 

This shit is so hard

Breakin me into shards

Broken, mind left unspoken

Stress poking from all angles

Mind confused and tangled 

Leaving me feelin lifeless

Mangled

Just wanna be done

Just wanna have fun

But i cant 

gotta hit the books

for those money grabbin crooks

Judging us givin dirty looks

yet we wonder why

we do this, since we gonna die

All we do is try 

to build a life

just ending being burdemsome and full of  fucking strife

Preparation for the end

So we leave behind our friends

Doing all we can do to survive

Forgetting to live our lives.

We build for the future

Forgetting our time has a limit

That life, we're in it 

Thinking its a game

tryin to win it 

Forgetting to smile

To enjoy it once in a while

Got the blinders on face

Then youll realize with distaste

All the time is gone 

You just went along

With the design of society

So unhappy, avoided sobriety

Took to the bottles 

Tried to live life like them models

Tried for the finer thing

Then you heard the death bell ring

Time is up

Better finish your cup
