Diversion

Forward motion is the only option
I’m pushing hard, but the current is stronger
My heart has carried me as far I think I can go
And I could drown if I stop or I falter
The sea is full of sharks as far as the eye can see
And they can’t wait for the chance to devour me
They smell the blood and they begin to circle
I gotta do my best to stay afloat
Life isn’t easy like I thought it would be
I could tell you lies just to make it better

This is nothing like they show on tv
So if you want the truth just come with me
Forget everything
Reject the lie you’ve been sold
Forget everything
Reject the lie, reject the diversion

Donny told me I would make a million
I heard the force was strong with this one
I put my head down and drank the poison
But it turned out to be a pack of lies
They’ve always lied to me in front of my face
They told me I would make it. Join the rat race
Life isn’t easy like I thought it would be
I could tell you lies just to make it better
This is nothing like they show on tv
So if you want the truth just come with me
Forget everything
Reject the lie you’ve been sold
Forget everything
Reject the lie, reject the diversion

I’m trying as hard as I can
And if I stop now I will end up a dead man
I’m trying as hard as I can
Can’t stop now, if I do I’m a dead man
I’m not used to that complacency like you are
That life you live, it ain’t me we’re not on par
No need to shine, I just grind, and I get mine

Forget everything
Reject the lie you’ve been sold
Forget everything
Reject the lie, reject the diversion
I’m trying as hard as I can
And if I stop now I will end up a dead man
I’m trying as hard as I can
Can’t stop now, if I do I’m a dead man
