I got this pressure in my mind I like to think is on my side
But we both know I'm living up borrowed time!
Narcissistic catharsis ignored it's toxic
Poor choices led me here
How the hell did I get here?
Standing, staring, shapelessly stagnant
I got a bad habit
Can't catch my breath
Not even in death
Consequences pushed back in all my decisions
There is no precision
Wrapped up in our cynicism!
You've held the torch for too long!
Do or die, we expire, we retire with no time to reconcile
(Do not hurry, my young friend! Nobody can escape their destiny)
Compromised by design!
I know your hearts beating faster and faster
When you face the reality that your power means
Absolutely nothing
Nothing clever, nothing ever changes life's the same
It's a shame how the pain goes ignored by so many!
In the end our greedy kings will rot with their gold
Out with the old relinquish their control!
Relinquish their control!
Postured up like life holds no value
Outside of your own
Is this really the hill that you want to die on?
Well then go ahead!
Raise your young to be just like you! Ha!
You disguise your disgust as a helping hand
Feigning empathy to gain a pawn in your grandeur plan
What's the plan? What's the point?
What's the plan? What's the point?
What's the God damn point!?
Oh, it's coming right round again
The dreadful sense that death never ends
Detract replace the moral compass
That promised to guide us, misguided displace
We all inherit the hate!
Even in your end
I find it hard to forgive and forget
Closure of the soul
Only shows if you're ready to grow
End this cycle to begin your own
Closer to the goal, minding tolls but you'll never come home
(Take a look at)
Take a look at the lives outside of your tribe!
What do you see?
The impoverished and poor eating scraps off the floor
