Graduation Paralysis (Midlife Mountain 2) Lyrics

Emerging into life

Deciding a path to take

Heartache and strife

Might cause me to break

Masters on every throne

Every field fully sown

I wondered where I'd fit

What niche would benefit?

Dreams start fading away

Living for a payday

The hustle and grind

Losing peace of mind

Had to sacrifice

Dreams and accept

Brutal facts of life

Like it's all an attempt

Adults don't really know

We all make it up as we go

Don't listen without thought

Or words your brain will rot

Emerge from paralysis

To realize beyond a doubt

That graduation was behind me

That meant I held clout

I was there for a reason

A vision in my heart

The turning path is not me

And I still wanted to start

Masters on every throne

Every field fully sown

I wondered where I'd fit

What niche would benefit?

Adults don't really know

We all make it up as we go

Don't listen without thought

Or words your brain will rot

Choose something sacred

Never make it commodity

Do it for yourself

Not for their money

In a monetary cage

We are demanded to pay

So we work for the man

Career up to meet demands

Masters on every throne

Every field fully sown

I know where I belong

As I write my own song
