Decadence

I am far from who I thought I was
And you are even further from what I thought that you should be
I despise what I've become and curse the actions
I have taken to get here
But at least I am myself

I will surrender one more time
"Never again," I look back on all my lies
I welcome an uncanny life
But something needs to change, (something needs to change)

Because as soon as something becomes constant it loses meaning
So learn to love all that you have right here and now
Because experience holds nothing but an ending
It would lose all value without

Oh

I am struggling to keep pace
Life will move on whether or not I take shape
I am struggling to keep pace
But whether I'll wallow or rise is my own choice to make

The pendulum swings back and forth
But this is a turning point
I am not a constant
For if I was I would be nothing
This is a turning point

I will not go farther down
This is a turning point
And I refuse to push any farther down

And yet

In understanding that the pendulum swings both ways
I know that I will find myself down here once again
I embrace an uncanny life
As there is meaning in the unexpected
But I know one thing for certain
I will not lose myself

I will not lose myself

I am not who I thought I was
But I know that I can become something greater than I had ever hoped
And I praise every mistake I ever made that led me to where I am

Right here, right now
