Spishak - Success Lyrics

I see the motions but the morals checked in at the door
The fragile frame which keeps your body from the rotting core
All the trials and all the miles just seem to move uphill
One day you once progressed but now you're stuck, forever still
How is this the victory we're working to achieve?
I know you won this war, your ship's still going down
All your dreams were shot; there's nothing to believe
Coping by prescription, it'll work without a sound
There's a man outside, they say he's reached some great success
He looks so happy but inside his soul remains depressed
There were things that he once knew and that he wished to be
He used to curse this life; the enemy was unforeseen
Why is this the cycle that repeats itself in time?
They never sense their old convictions left behind
Hand in hand they walk into the great decline
No one asks them if it's forced or by design
Now this is the conquest and the reason why we strive
What they say is wrong will always turn out right
Though their hopes may die, just please keep yours alive
Persevere, just don't give up; don't lose it in the fight
