Complacent

Assemblage 23

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? 

Sung to sleep by sycophantic 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
