Persistence - All But One

If you’re trying to keep up with this pace I’m setting

I won’t forget to mention

That you’re simply grasping at a false expectation of doomed aspiration

A false expectation

Of doomed aspiration

Persist in action

No more sedation

So bow your head and remember

Modesty is relevant, why so cynical

Patience is a commodity

So lace up and earn your way

To me it looks like you’ve got a grasp on the game in play

Just don’t get ahead of yourself, you’ll only end up in a state of dismay

Pressure makes this all better, won’t you agree

Society has got inside your head, it causes friction

This is your fight so don’t pretend you’ve got back up

Try as you might but I suggest you take a minute

A false expectation

Of doomed aspiration

Persist in action

No more sedation

So bow your head and remember

Modesty is relevant, why so cynical

Patience is a commodity

So lace up and earn your way

You’ll stand on a mountain and preach you’re entitled

Try and fake it, till you make it

But know you’re on your own

Strive for the glory of knowing you got there yourself

Imagine falling apart knowing it was yours to take

A false expectation

Of doomed aspiration

Persist in action

No more sedation

So bow your head and remember

Modesty is relevant, why so cynical

Patience is a commodity

So lace up and earn your way
