Question your idols, Their past and your future. Don't be afraid of being wrong, rude or Even right. That "pie in the face" taste Can be humble, in my opinion. Face your mistakes and take stock. Be like water, not like rock. Be like you and not like them, When an identity can not bend It will snap Back to default defense. "Agree to disagree." "It's just how I feel." Let down these shields to reveal If the ideals you hold so dearly are real. See, you ask but rarely listen. Fingers in ears, lest the truth trickle in. Signalling virtue by idicting false sin. Clawing for the higher ground, Hoping all those around you drown, To mute the sound Of opposition. Yet still, YOU cry victim. It seems to me that Confirmation of your own righteousness Is all the evidence You need. Self-destruction is **** Bleeding hearts, bleed to death. And even with your last breath You refuse to confess your hypocrisy.

Question yourself.
Question your idols, Their past and your future. Don't be afraid of being wrong, rude or Even right. That "pie in the face" taste Can be humble, in my opinion. Face your mistakes and take stock. Be like water, not like rock. Be like you and not like them, When an identity can not bend It will snap Back to default defense. "Agree to disagree." "It's just how I feel." Let down these shields to reveal If the ideals you hold so dearly are real. See, you ask but rarely listen. Fingers in ears, lest the truth trickle in. Signalling virtue by idicting false sin. Clawing for the higher ground, Hoping all those around you drown, To mute the sound Of opposition. Yet still, YOU cry victim. It seems to me that Confirmation of your own righteousness Is all the evidence You need. Self-destruction is **** Bleeding hearts, bleed to death. And even with your last breath You refuse to confess your hypocrisy.
