Self Preservation - Modern Life Is War

This is ambition

As ugly as it gets;

Uncommon kids and their fight against an early death

By common sense!

This is motivation

Free of contempt;

Our generation has come of age

And left us here with bitterness!

So when you’re feeling jagged

And you think you’ve gone fucking mad

(Salt your wounds!)

Feel the sting of the things you never had

The things you always wanted

And the things they said you would never be

Focus on the pain

And find the strength to make your own reality

Please understand!

You only live your life but once!

So don’t hold back

And don’t live it in a rut

Let’s go!

For far too long we’ve heard

«Life's not like that»

From timid souls longing

And filled with regret

But why should we take advice

From the boring-working-brain-dead?

We’re forward thinking youth

And we can use our own heads!

So when you’re feeling jagged

And you think you’ve gone fucking mad

(Salt your wounds!)

Feel the sting of the things you never had

The things you always wanted

And the things they said you would never be

Focus on the pain

And find the strength to make your own reality

Self Preservation!
