Enemy Complacency
Another fleeting day, spent isolated in this plaster cage
Comforted by a lonely humming, a vagabond's sweet self-serenade
Sprawled and idle, I peer up thinking
Of vast expanse of blue skies, but vacant eyes only navigate
Fissured ceiling fault lines
Will it lead to California?
Or will it just simply crumble and decay?
I guess everything crumbles in the end anyway
Enemy, Enemy, submerged in toxic apathy
Enemy, Enemy, complacency
'Cause all my body's chemistry is a slave to all this reverie
But I've got to wake up, cause time won't wait for me
I'm sick and tired of all these excuses I've been selling
Employed more than a nautical metaphor in verses of rebellion
Self-imposed resignation to comforts of routine
Ideals lay somewhere buried, still in possession of their sheen
Will time and pressure forge the best in me?
Or will I be left a shell of good intentions
Marred and brittled by defeat?
Enemy, Enemy, submerged in toxic apathy
Enemy, Enemy, complacency
'Cause all my body's chemistry is a slave to all this reverie
But I've got to wake up, cause time won't wait for me
And I know I cannot hold on to this forever
Progressive footsteps haunted by yesterday's endeavors
Perhaps some things are best left to rose-colored hues of the past
Preserved in ideal form, we'll always have
But we can never go back
Comforted by a lonely humming, a vagabond's sweet self-serenade
Sprawled and idle, I peer up thinking
Of vast expanse of blue skies, but vacant eyes only navigate
Fissured ceiling fault lines
Will it lead to California?
Or will it just simply crumble and decay?
I guess everything crumbles in the end anyway
Enemy, Enemy, submerged in toxic apathy
Enemy, Enemy, complacency
'Cause all my body's chemistry is a slave to all this reverie
But I've got to wake up, cause time won't wait for me
I'm sick and tired of all these excuses I've been selling
Employed more than a nautical metaphor in verses of rebellion
Self-imposed resignation to comforts of routine
Ideals lay somewhere buried, still in possession of their sheen
Will time and pressure forge the best in me?
Or will I be left a shell of good intentions
Marred and brittled by defeat?
Enemy, Enemy, submerged in toxic apathy
Enemy, Enemy, complacency
'Cause all my body's chemistry is a slave to all this reverie
But I've got to wake up, cause time won't wait for me
And I know I cannot hold on to this forever
Progressive footsteps haunted by yesterday's endeavors
Perhaps some things are best left to rose-colored hues of the past
Preserved in ideal form, we'll always have
But we can never go back
