Justification

we have tried and failed

we have stumbled and fallen

we have tried a new taste and spit it back out

we have taken a left turn when we meant to turn right

we lost sight of our origins

but our past never lost sight of us

it's not emulation - cause that's not this hard

not imitation - cause that won't take you far

not digression - cause I'm falling straight up

it is progression - I'm not afraid to stand up

I don't know what is expected

but I expected it to be great

I said "I'm trying my hardest"

but he didn't like the tape

take a look at what you're doing

and tell me I'm too late

you say we're walking backwards

well, that dead horse sure can run

the truth

I know I can

I know I will

I know -I know what I have to do

and now you'll listen

and I hope it won't hurt

I've seen your poison

you've done your worst

I've seen your better

and I can't believe it's true

you've lost the truth that used to live inside of you
