Senseless Numbers

I don't know what I want in life

The precious seconds tick by

My days being absorbed 

By mindless knowledge

People shown by numbers

You have no name here

"Do your best"

"Try or fail"

There is no dreaming

No middle in this life

No wishing on this day

Turning, turning

The Earth keeps moving

Yell out to all those forgotten days

"Come back, come back!"

Hidden deep inside your heart

Can it ever beat the same?

80 instead of 90

37 out of 50

Numbers thrown about 

Chaos never stopped

"I'm doing all I can!"

Empty rooms with many papers

Get up, get up!

Numbers thrown about

In madness

"It doesn't matter!"

"It never mattered!"

The souless doll that once was you

Begging, begging

This has always been you

Have you known anything else?

Pass or fail in this game

Falling into the darkness

"I'm doing all I can!"

"It never mattered!"

"What do you want?"

"A brighter future!"

80 instead of 90

37 out of 50

Knowledge of nothing

Future of emptiness
