It's a modest opinion that becomes the epitome of truth
As it builds up egos in your mind
They feast on your rejection, your frivolous observation
Is you must change to survive
Now your stuck inside the play that society will write
Even the bright stars die, yes they all die!

That's the reason why you missed, why you slipped
Their decisions leave you dried out.
That's the treason, that's the reason why you missed, why you slipped
Their decisions leave you dried out.

It's the weight of acceptance, they fail to mention
That'll bear down and crush you in time
When they pull on your strings to make you stand
Make you walk like a man, how will you survive?
When you've lost all your beliefs,
When faiths hanging on by the skin of your teeth,
You'll find that perfection is a lie, it is a lie!

When you realize there's nowhere you can run
Living up to expectations isn't fun
You can try to justify it, but it's wrong
And we all can get in line and follow along.

That's the reason why you missed, why you slipped
Their decisions leave you dried out.
That's the treason, that's the reason why you missed, why you slipped
Their decisions leave you dried out.
