Marathon

Long live slavery Just like the millions of us I've been looking for a way out I still need to justify the anger That gives me reasons to not sleep at night A reason to enjoy the silence when all them souls are home Not aware of the relieving privilege of not singing such songs Our chains are made of abandons Locked up with rents and some fashions I try to think though it ain't worth shit in this world And the way that I feel is just nothing I'm sure of I only fear the mornings when doubts refuse to call And if I give myself up into some lazy days It's to escape from depression I guess we're all the same Oh excuses, how I hate you Oh excuses, I created excuses for you And I'm sinking with you at the end Wrong kids of the fate We dream of safe shelters we would create And this curse is a marathon we endure day after day For passion and for love No surrender I keep trusting the kid I once was And the way that I feel is just nothing I'm sure of But there's still a reason why I refuse to fall For passion - no surrender For passion - no surrender Chains can't hold the fire And acceptance kills the men And if courage is a weakness in a world of clones I guess our stories become nothing but romantic jokes I call it acceptance When you don't play your cards I call it acceptance When you don't live your heart We've only been taught how to say goodbye and thousand times Told stories we know nothing about I call it acceptance When you don't play your cards I call it acceptance When you don't live your heart No excuses, I'll leave the town No excuses, I'll leave the town Cause I've lived in a rollercoaster For a little while And it didn't seem to get that high This marathon has no end I know But all I can do is run And I forgive my legs when they burn And they burn
