Reflections with pain staking recollections Watch your old self with memories of where youve been How far youve come and whats left to be seen A feeling of emptiness thats getting too deep Why look to the past when we try to live in the present Because the future is too foregone for us to reference Every mistake we made a reminder to forget And every forgotten mistake one waiting for redemption That never arrives If you shone a light in the darkest room Would you be enlightning or just a nuisance Disrupting the current order is something only the brave do And maybe the foolish too Cause death is all they brew What do we have to lose but our lives And why is yours so valuable when theres 7 billion others on the line Maybe cause we have only one as opposed to 9 But if we live it in vain then we're better off dying And if we live it too proudly then it changes before our eyes Family turns to strangers and friends to foes And true solace only comes when youre alone For you hate other people and all that they represent That one cant be strong in their own presence That one cant surive without someone to rely on That one cant stand out and be profound But only one person can ever wear the crown
