Complacent Lyrics

Complacent

You're growing complacent

You forgot what it all meant

And chose the path of convenience 



The road you took to where you're standing now

Was fraught with obstacles that tore you down 

They made you drown 



The path of least resistence called your name 

A status quo you tried hard to maintain 

But it wasn't the same 



Sweet denial, take your leave

You must have others to decieve 

I'm so tired of drifting backwards standing still 

So throw the towel in, if you must

Give up hope and give up trust

And I promise you'll drift backwards standing still 



Something changed in you when you gave up

When you decided that you had tried enough 

The price was too much 



The inconsistencies seemed plain to see 

A swift departure from reality 

How blind can you be? 



Sweet denial, take your leave

You must have others to decieve 

I'm so tired of drifting backwards standing still 

So throw the towel in, if you must

Give up hope and give up trust

And I promise you'll drift backwards standing still 



Sung to sleep by sychophantic choirs 

You preferred the company of liars 

Who made you feel admired



But one by one they turned their backs on you

The ranks of your detractors grew and grew 

When they learned the truth 



Sweet denial, take your leave

You must have others to decieve 

I'm so tired of drifting backwards standing still 

So throw the towel in, if you must

Give up hope and give up trust

And I promise you'll drift backwards standing still
