Don'T You Dare Forget

It's crazy how we as humans debate these great things We brave situations daily, with masks on, we hate this Everyday the same thing, and instead of searchin' For greatness and we become complacent servants On a day to day basis, we waste so much time waiting... Sitting around and trying to buy our way to a permanent vacation Every time we think we have made it the novelty faded... Back to the bottom of the barrel; Scraping, shaping our patience We are degrading our faith because we are making our lives spacious For what? Have we become shameless? For a future that from the start was tainted For something that you wanted so much you could have never hated it... We have developed so many faces it has left us faceless... Why? Was it our tastelessness? Or was it the blatant whip? It may have been a self-righteous stagnant graceless flagrance You cannot mask the fragrance of a wound so much greater than it's creator We liked the music but we changed the station, We were presented with a buffet of opportunities We piled our plates without any hesitation... Get your two cents in Even when it's hard to see, walk like you can see these thieves Be relentless in your adventures and never forget to mention the credit The people who were there for you, they were not scared of you They stood by you even though no one else cared for you... Although you might never forget the truth, There are people who will fight for you! People who would ruin their lives for you! They would die for you! They share your vision and they believe in you Don't you dare lie, you better speak the truth...
