It is a choice we make
with every moment that passes
Bring the torches and axes
Its time to face the facts. And the fact is
Realistically we can't have what we want and what we need
Simultaneously
Its unnecessary
This excessive greed
Why? What intentions do we have that makes us think
That the mistakes we make won't cause us grief?

He said, "One moment of patience escapes 100 days of sorrow"
But why when tomorrow
Do I forget to borrow
That truth and bury it in my burrow?
Why am I in a constant state of letting go?

Its unbelievable and inexcusable
The pain I caused these many souls
Truth is its probably because the pain I feel
Feels like the worst of all.

They say misery loves company
And I've been keeping company
With the one who brought the grievance to me.

Time to shed the dead skin
It is time to let the new lights reign in
Cutting off these dead ends
No more pretendin'.

I was born as a leader it resides in my blood
Time to win this war in my core, to elate me up above.
