Complexes
Why do we let others decide who we are
What we can and cannot do
They fill us with lies and confusion
And somehow we think this is true
You'll never amount to anything
They say til they make us believe
They lower our goals and standards
Til it lessens the things we achieve
We call them friends when they tell us we can't
And they say it's for our own good
Why can't we see it kills our desire
To reach for the things that we could
A complex is something we carry thru life
Given by Wolves in disguise
They say they're trying to help us
But it just binds our souls with lies
