Pretty Shanks - Obligated Lyrics

Beaten down again
Though I would prefer not
The options that are present
Leave much to be desired
Still I have to take
What comes with these constraints
It's better to comply than to dwell about it
After all there must be consequence
Every action that you take
Must be made with consciousness
It's so easy to just say
That it's you who's not to blame
But really who else would it be
Every time I think I couldn't possibly do wrong
I go out of my way just to check myself
And I know that I don't
Always catch every mistake
So much for thinking that I had control
It's up to you now
To yourself you are obliged
The choice is your's to make
It always has been
Why do you look so surprised
You have no room to talk when
There's been so many
Opportunities
But you just sat idly by
Thinking that there will always be a next time
Excuse after excuse
Justifying
Why I'm unable
To advance
It's so draining
Admitting to yourself
That what you're doing
Isn't working
As much as it pains me
I can't keep erasing
I can't keep evading
The fact that it's on me to adjust
If not now then when
Before any regrets
So I'll take my time
Just not any longer
Just not any longer
