Generations - August Burns Red

I hate the way the weight of your decisions

They weigh upon me.

I won’t carry them on my shoulders

My knees may buckle, but my resolve is strong

I am the future and I’m here to prove you wrong

You are concerned with dragging me down

Everything in me won’t let me drown, won’t let me drown

What you decide has impact on you forever

It will all cave in on you forever

You can’t ignore what surrounds you forever

You can’t ignore what surrounds you forever

What goes up must come down

It’s simple physics you see, the laws of gravity

I’ll stay above the water just to prove my persistence

I’m holding on to my desire to improve our existence

The remedy starts with me

It’s the logic we all need

Take hold and accept it if you want things to be different

Take hold and accept it if you want things to be different

Take hold, take hold, take hold and accept it

Take hold and accept it if you want things to be different

I’m waiting impatiently while your skin turns thin

You can’t ignore what surrounds you forever.

Soon enough it will all cave in

Ideas built upon a weak base

Will slip away without a trace

Like a house that’s made of sand being torn

To the ground by the waves

I promise to always see things from a better perspective

One that won’t block those who chose another direction

And this promise to myself, I won’t let it go

(Won't let it go, won’t let it go)

I’ll stand up, and I’ll take it all in

With open arms, I’ll accept what we’ve been given

And this promise to myself, I won’t let it go

(Won't let it go, won’t let it go)

Won’t let it go, won’t let it go

Won’t let it go, won’t let it go

I won’t let it go

Won’t let it go, won’t let it go

I won’t let it go

This promise to myself, I won’t let it go

I won’t let it go, I-

Won’t let it go, won’t let it go

Won’t let it go, won’t let it go

I won’t let it go
