I haven't seen you in years
Have you realized yet you act just like your parents
Walking dead
So strange that we grew up the same way
And you wonder where I went astray
But I don't think that it was me
Who fell asleep, went off course, now lost adrift at sea
Guess my beliefs have stuck with me

Who gives a shit what you did late last night
Or who took your advantageous dignity
Because of the way you dressed?
A simple 'no' would have kept you alive
Now you rot inside yourself and you
Don't know fucking why you had to change

But there you go anyways
Flashing your silver medal, second best
No nothing gold can stay
You'll fade like all the rest

Spare me grief
And cap off the temperamental agony
Confine it within your reach
Forget about an idealist future
The quality that rears the most is
Giving into everyone's routine

Remember that picture of you and me
With beating hearts and steady hands
What makes you think you don't owe anything
Is that what makes you your old man
