A Measure Of A Life

from Choices by Twisted Illusion

/

lyrics

Time is moving faster
I feel the weight of the world, expectation
Have I been wasting my time?
On a future that has nothing for me...
The arrogance of youth is faded
My voice so weary
I'm not even sure what I'm voicing anymore

Finding the will to trust someone again
I've only ever followed my own path
Failing upwards, I can't pretend I don't defend
I cannot pretend I don't defend...
Parts of the person I used to be

I've always hated where I came from
No nostalgia or attachment
I look around at my friends, envious

And I know...
Gotta play the hand I'm dealt
To justify my seat at the table
Nepotism only gets you so far
You don't have a foundation like me
Nothing's ever come easy in my life
No silver spoon in sight...

I won't let my childhood define me

Now you can tell me the way forward
Sever connection to my innocence
I've let go!
A bad start has advantages
It clears the fakery away
You can't fool me with your smile
Being "NICE" shouldn't be an agenda...
