Complacent - Assemblage 23

Complacent

You’re growing complacent

You forgot what it all meant

And chose the path of convenience

The road you took to where you’re standing now

Was fraught with obstacles that tore you down

They made you drown

The path of least resistence called your name

A status quo you tried hard to maintain

But it wasn’t the same

Sweet denial, take your leave

You must have others to decieve

I’m so tired of drifting backwards standing still

So throw the towel in, if you must

Give up hope and give up trust

And I promise you’ll drift backwards standing still

Something changed in you when you gave up When you decided that you had tried enough

The price was too much

The inconsistencies seemed plain to see

A swift departure from reality

How blind can you be?

Sweet denial, take your leave

You must have others to decieve

I’m so tired of drifting backwards standing still

So throw the towel in, if you must

Give up hope and give up trust

And I promise you’ll drift backwards standing still

Sung to sleep by sychophantic choirs

You preferred the company of liars

Who made you feel admired

But one by one they turned their backs on you

The ranks of your detractors grew and grew

When they learned the truth

Sweet denial, take your leave

You must have others to decieve

I’m so tired of drifting backwards standing still

So throw the towel in, if you must

Give up hope and give up trust

And I promise you’ll drift backwards standing still
