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 resistance 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 deceive
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 deceive
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 deceive
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
