lyrics

worrying is the only thing you accomplish
its the only item on your to do list
who are you going to disappoint today?
however hard you try you'll make enemies along the way
make sure that you always have someone by your side
to insist everything you say and do is justified
play out your fears til they become your destiny
when your dreams are all nightmares you learn about causality
that's when you realize that dreams can come true
doubt yourself no more now you've seen what you can do
no one to trust, not even your best friends
anyone can get some scary idea lodged in their head
then everything you say gets twisted around
or maybe your convictions never were sound
maybe you're the perpetrator while you feel like the victim
confused survival skills, coping mechanisms
application of life lessons gets misplaced
now you're slapping your own allies in the face
your real adversaries are no where to be seen
having their way while their hands stay clean
petty disagreements squash every beautiful thing
that we ever dare to dream

perpetuation of oppression by the oppressed
just because its ironic doesn't mean it don't make sense
if you've seen it then you know it's nothing more, nothing less
than reality, its the tragedy of human existence
