When your concept retires | |
Will you still know how to struggle | |
Until your conscious is tired? | |
Don't even guess if you're not sure. | |
But be prepared for some variations | |
And crooked conversations. | |
But if your focus is bold | |
You won't be guilty when you're old. | |
The garbage they've been selling should not fail to your demands. | |
And even if they're thoughtful, they don't care or understand | |
Tell me why is this? | |
And the more that was offered came slowly to a stop | |
But the hint wasn't sent in the mail. | |
And the banners that signed for it never had time for it | |
And now it's distorted and stale. | |
So the context was twisted and everyone missed it | |
Except for the obvious sign. | |
And the truth that they followed was empty and hollow | |
But nobody spoke up in time. | |
