Eudaimonia


All I did was help
And found myself in hell
Has it always been this way
Drowned in debts to pay

I thought this was Anno Domini
Where the righteous would succeed

I chased eudaimonia
Thought the world was good to the meager
I couldn't be farther from the truth
Can't even pay to fix this broken tooth

I thought this was the golden age
I thought my dues would get paid

But here I am
A broken man
I had a plan
But it turned to sand

What else will fall through
Is this all I amount to
I imagined a better life
Is this what the world thinks is right
