lyrics

Sycophant kisses, unfulfilled wishes
Stacks of dirty dishes, a miss but no misses
As these shackles tighten tighter I’d like to be inside her
Like a lover not a fighter, once was I much brighter
But now I’m just a fraction of the man I used to be
Like a leaf upon a branch when I used to be the tree
So the spirits gave me life but nothing comes for free
And the only one to blame is my complacency

So I sit here with my pencil and slowly start to stencil
Each word upon this page to pacify my rage
When I was just a kid I thought that I would rid
The world of every evil, a champion of the people
Now I’m rich, just not alive, I guess I thought
That there'd be more than a nightly stop at the liquor store
So barkeep, pour a shot for me
And pour one more for complacency

My complacency and me
Exercise futility
So don’t expect me to set you free
From your apathy

My complacency and me
Exercise futility
So don’t expect me to set you free
From your apathy

Ashes on the finest floors
Wishes lost in the deepest drawers
I know somehow there’s got to be more
Than sycophant kisses and unfulfilled wishes
Nobody ever misses the poorest of the poor
When it’s time to meet your maker will money keep the score?
Cause hell is full of heroes who died with seven zeroes
Attached to their names like a two bit whore

My complacency and me
Exercise futility
So don’t expect me to set you free
From your apathy

My complacency and me
Exercise futility
So don’t expect me to set you free
From your apathy

And when you're overcome by the sadness of society
You can take comfort in complacency
And when you figure out foundation is a fallacy
You can take comfort in complacency
And when they proclaim their perfect life of piety
You can take comfort in complacency

And when you realize money won’t set you free
At least you’ve got your complacency
