I've seen this story before
I thought that swimming across was a
Chance to leave some worries behind
If one expects to submerge in ignorance, then why
Was I surprised when I almost drowned
If one expects attention, then why
Was I dismayed by the shallow affection
I've seen this before
The people are fed an ideal, only to realize that
Some are "the good ones" based on a standard
Created by a room of powerful men. In fact, don't
Question them, they know what's best. Anything
They do will trickle down to those that believe
I've seen this
The people whom've relied on others to rise
Turn around to shout how those very people are
Threatening our values. It says so in this ancient
Text, just squint hard enough
We had to've seen it
The slow consolidation leaving us unaware of
The night terrors, the cold sweats, forcing you and me
To grow content with the snooze button
Snooze button
Snooze button
Snooze button
