Settle

Money problems we've all got em And yet we're still the ten percent But I am poor in spirit once again Sands of satisfaction settle And pile up like misers coins And harden into selfish sediment Avarice and greed mixed in with apathy They set and harden like a concrete base I find myself up to my knees and sinking in But I won't just settle into place I don't trust the government But I don't even trust myself I want to do what's right But I choose me I have said some stupid things A jerks knee jerk reactions sting I watched the bridges burn beneath my feet It seems like self destruction is my MO An eventuality I can't erase The mistakes of my past are stacked against me But I won't just settle into place Don't give up, yeah and don't you quit Passion can grow cold if you let it Don't give up, yeah and don't you quit, no All my life I've tried to be a hero I've yet to see my heroics save the day Maybe I'm not strong enough to change things But I won't just settle into place
