We've built these lives for something more
On promises of something less
The cost of now; is it all we're worth
(History will judge), let's just make the best
(Of this undue albatross)
Around our necks
(Psychological or not)
We're simply not what came before
Progress is fixed to our souls
We're not the harbingers of a time
Ahead that is (cursed and dying)
Let their labels fall on deaf ears
We're here to become what they might fear
We have our own, so no time for theirs
Just keep in mind, we'll make the best
(Of this undue albatross)
Around our necks
(Psychological or not)
We're simply not what came before
Progress is fixed to our souls
We're not the harbingers of a time
Ahead that is (cursed and dying)
Our time is now, our struggles real
(I despise much of us) and make an appeal
To our delicate sense of a world gone mad
(Haste the day) let us transcend these foolish ways
(Drown the albatross)
Around our necks
(Psychological or not)
We're simply not what came before
Progress is fixed to our souls
We're not the harbingers of a time
Ahead that is (cursed and dying)
