Complacent

Complacent

You're growing complacent

You forgot what it all meant

And chose the path of convenience

The road you took to where you're standing now

Was fraught with obstacles that tore you down

They made you drown

The path of least resistance called your name

A status quo you tried hard to maintain

But it wasn't the same

Sweet denial, take your leave

You must have others to deceive

I'm so tired of drifting backwards standing still

So throw the towel in, if you must

Give up hope and give up trust

And I promise you'll drift backwards standing still

Something changed in you when you gave up

When you decided that you had tried enough

The price was too much

The inconsistencies seemed plain to see

A swift departure from reality

How blind can you be?

Sung to sleep by sycophantic choirs

You preferred the company of liars

Who made you feel admired

But one by one they turned their backs on you

The ranks of your detractors grew and grew

When they learned the truth
