My eyes move closer to it
As the setting sun's rays fade
Homework I should be doing
Lays forgotten at my side
Dreams I should be fullfilling
Are lost to the never ending abiss
But I can't leave it
My cell phone rings
Wearing my mother's name
Lies I have never thought to tell
Spring to my once truthful lips
"Yes my homework's done"
I haven't touched it
"Yes my grades are good"
I'm failing Spanish
"No I have no projects"
IT looms over my shoulder
But I can't leave it
It's as addicting as any drug
As potent as any relationship
I tell my self to get going
To do what I have neglected for so long
Promises and lies already known as such
Swirl uselessly in my mind
But I can't leave it
As the setting sun's rays fade
Homework I should be doing
Lays forgotten at my side
Dreams I should be fullfilling
Are lost to the never ending abiss
But I can't leave it
My cell phone rings
Wearing my mother's name
Lies I have never thought to tell
Spring to my once truthful lips
"Yes my homework's done"
I haven't touched it
"Yes my grades are good"
I'm failing Spanish
"No I have no projects"
IT looms over my shoulder
But I can't leave it
It's as addicting as any drug
As potent as any relationship
I tell my self to get going
To do what I have neglected for so long
Promises and lies already known as such
Swirl uselessly in my mind
But I can't leave it
