It's a modest opinion that becomes the epitome of truth As it builds up egos in your mind They feast on your rejection, your frivolous observation Is you must change to survive Now your stuck inside the play that society will write Even the bright stars die, yes they all die! That's the reason why you missed, why you slipped Their decisions leave you dried out. That's the treason, that's the reason why you missed, why you slipped Their decisions leave you dried out. It's the weight of acceptance, they fail to mention That'll bear down and crush you in time When they pull on your strings to make you stand Make you walk like a man, how will you survive? When you've lost all your beliefs, When faiths hanging on by the skin of your teeth, You'll find that perfection is a lie, it is a lie! When you realize there's nowhere you can run Living up to expectations isn't fun You can try to justify it, but it's wrong And we all can get in line and follow along. That's the reason why you missed, why you slipped Their decisions leave you dried out. That's the treason, that's the reason why you missed, why you slipped Their decisions leave you dried out.
