Maxim Lyrics

You never lost your way

Just tired of past mistakes

That call to answer

A different master

To hide in

And feel safe

From all the ties that bind

You're quick to realise

That you're expected

To redirect it

And silently comply

And so

The child is father of the man

Into his hands he'll be

His own

To long for

Someone to pretend

And show sincerity

Time and time again

You fall into regret

Those second thoughts

Self centred loss

They haven't failed you yet

Applause on your return

And several lessons learned

I'm sure you don't see

Your absence won't be

A moment

That's observed

So coded into dreams

It gathers then they leave

A mutual feeling

That's disappearing

Into what you perceive

And so

The child is father of the man

Into his hands he'll be

His own

To long for

Someone to pretend

And show sincerity

Time and time again

You fall into regret

Those second thoughts

Self centred loss

They haven't failed you yet
