stagnation

And now it's five years later
Yet all you've done is change the waiter

Instead of moving on with your life
You drowned in coutin', remember already five

Believe me change does not come just by wishin'
But what do you care, when you're busy reminiscing

You believe your fight makes you a hero
Meanwhile your number of friends decreased to zero

Frustrating the lack of money, isn't it
You find pleasure fucking up your life because of it

Stagnant time is everythin', but all too wrong
Blind to the reasons and stuck for way too long

Nonetheless it hurts to see you on the ground
For your innocence is nowhere to be found

I know it's a struggle, but you gotta find a solution
Since all you're really fighting for is absolution

So head out in search for meaning
If only for the sake of your well being

You look out for everyone and so you know
Only your expectations for yourself are very low

Yeah it's horrible this flesh tearin' dart
She left you changed and with a broken heart

A lovley person can make a terrible mistake
Forgiveness is when the hero inside of us awakes

'Cause I agonize over everý single word
Hopeful, desperately waitin' to be heard
