Self-destructive preservation
Cocoon sustains, dissolves my resolve
My own worst critic, my enemy
A slave to my own hatred of life
And the need to reinvent, to grow
Though I wish no ill will on you
I cannot stand any of your
Acceptance of the inevitable
What if it wasn't us this time
Golden goose beat to death by jealous hands
Bloated by past pious plans
So now we'll starve
Everything I could ever build or do
Will all fade away and die just like you
A simple existence, is insufficient
I'm exhausted and unrepentant
What if it wasn't us this time
Golden goose beat to death by jealous hands
Bloated by past pious plans
So now we'll starve
Resilient or regenerate
I'll never show you which
But I know, skinny shoes
Get you nowhere on this unstable ground
Nowhere
Never have been good at math
It never served my purpose anyway
Laws of physics have no hold on me
Twist life to my own cross-eyed view
And if I'm not moving faster
Than everything in my way
I'm consumed with the feeling of failure
Not content unless I lead the way
What if it wasn't us this time
Golden goose beat to death by jealous hands
Bloated by past pious plans
So now we'll starve
Everything I could ever destroy or do
Will all fade away and die just like you
Simple existence, is insufficient
I'm exhausted and unrepentant
