Myspace Thomas (Live at the Hive) Lyrics

Complacent through the ages

"It's always been this way"

Keep telling yourself

That it's never going to change

Tradition's your only mission

To always stay the same

Despite facts that reveal fictions

You're never going to change

Set in your ways

Until the day you die

Alongside no one

Besides your pride

But a mind transcribed

Does not die soon

Even though

You might want it to

I can't reach you

I can't break through

Fragmented into factions

Down we go the rabbit holes

To mend dissatisfaction

With what we don't want to know

Though you can try to ignore it

Reality has a way

Of breaking down your fortress

And permeating

Everything you thought you knew

Gone are the old days

Adapt or decay

I don't know what to say

It seems clear to me

The only thing that stays the same

Is the changing constantly

So keep up or keep out

Echo chambers suffocate

The range of the mind

God forbid you ever become a critic

Of yourself

There's sanctity in humility

You can't always get it right

I hope one day you'll see

Through the duplicity

Of those who seem

To only worship spite

I know, it's not easy

To leave behind a lie

That you believed in

The distance

Between you and me

Is the difference

Between our worlds and screens

The you you made is on display

Your manufactured, preferred face

But it's hard for me to believe

That you'd actually

Think you'd succeed

In deceiving anybody

But yourself

Too bad, oh well

We all have our own hells

It just doesn't make sense to me

I mean, times are pretty rough

Why add to the misery

Isn't there enough
