Sometimes you just gotta have a good talk with yourself

lyrics

What does it say when the view from the stage
is a sea of material in fasion today?
Can you say that your journey was true to yourself
that the signs you had followed weren’t shortcuts to wealth?
The talent though clear has plateauxed but not peaked
and the gradient we’re facing is staggered not steep.
The distance presents an illusion to us.
If we press on do we end in air or in dust?
Oh in this case you are the architect.
You design with will and time,
carving the landscape as you sail through life,
unable to look behind.
Unless you are sure that you are doing the wrong thing you have to
tell yourself ‘never say’
its much easier to stop and limit myself
because saying goodbye is just like dying
and whats the only thing you cant hide from death?
Make up your mind now kid cos this is it.
We’ve already wasted too much time.
Time to be leaving you lead i’ll recap.
Now I know that you dont want to punish the loves in your life
with your selfish endeavours but trust me,
there are some patches of earth in your life
that you’ll find out cannot be returfed,
and while the fragrance of blossoming futures are fed
by the compromises you threw out,
inside you are rotting
a husk of the person who told me in trust that theyd conquered their doubt.

Dont give up my friend
I dont ever want to have to have this conversation with you again.
