Tone Deaf Poet - Antiquated 2 Lyrics

Antiquated

Antiquated, getting old before your
Time, acting smart doesn't always
Lead to being wise

When someone does you a solid
Return the favour, go collect
Your Good Samaritan prize

Are you waiting for the heavens
To open up and god to acknowledge
You without a disapproving guise

You guessed wrong the energy in the room
Is violent and unstable, you can't eat the
Pink elephant in just one bite

You're the only shrimp at the table
At a party of giants, antiquated
Is your response to fight or flight

Size may matter
But so does your ability
To think quickly and choose right

Avoiding conflict isn't always possible
Where familiarity breeds contempt
Saints tumble from amazing heights

We are all born flawed
Some have no margin for error
Without coming into the light

So hold on tight to your core beliefs
Becoming antiquated sure beats
Fading completely out of sight
