I have become such an asshole
Become such an asshole to all the people
Who actually cared
I have lost my resolve
Lost my resolve
But I realize my only problem
Was looking for problems to solve
We built a tower to the sky
300 feet high
And now it's like
We don't speak the same tongue anymore
And all my contemporaries are speaking in tongues, I proclaim
Because I can't make out a f*cking word they say
And sometimes the people that love us most
Understand us least
But you and me don't need to be the same
To be complete
I'm keeping it only because some things I can't endure
I know the infection but I can't stomach the cure
Just want to remember things were
To be young again, a careless provocateur
Carry on, carry on
I have walked across a wasteland
An arid, wizened wasteland
But there hasn't been the promised land in sight
Along the way, a settler stopped
And told me
That if I prayed, divine forces
Would intervene
But I'm drowning, in the deep end, I am drowning
Like the King's army
I couldn't part this saline sea
And I swear my ties
To all my contemporaries
Seem more and more temporary
But I hate that I've become this weary, (A lone wolf)
And I wanted sane and stable
But I got Cain and Abel
And now I just get sick of the anecdotal musings
On antidotes I could be using
And sometimes the people that love us most
Understand us least
But you and me don't need to be the same
To be complete
And I'm keeping it only because some things I can't endure
I know the infection but I can't stomach the cure
I just want to go back to how things were
But I can't go back to then, that's for sure
Carry on
Away
And I'm keeping it only because some things I can't endure
I know the infection but I can't stomach the cure
I just want to go back to how things were
But I can't just go back to then, that's for sure
Away
This is not the end
This is not the end for me
