Channel Detritus - The Human Abstract

Don’t fight it, look at it, another setback to slow you

Another day in vain, passing on, move along, another dream is gone

You see that’s how it goes in the game

We play only to learn and train for our next mistake

To heal and break, growing strong in the wake

Seems like in no one I can rely

Don’t you tell me I won’t survive

Thousands tell you that you won’t survive

I’ll survive, I’ll survive

You’re not my surrender

You’ll find no surrender here

Tamed by a siren song, tempted to belong to an ordinary life

Ask yourself why

Don’t you let them pave your way, don’t you play their game

Don’t you pray for rain, look inside at what you’ll find

It’s all in your mind, regain an honor disappearing

It’s a power disappearing, a birthright disappearing

It’s a call to save what remains

Fools regret until they die, forgive yourself back to life
