Create, Don’t Replicate
Swallow the values
Inject the beliefs
Tattoo your identity
Flag nationality
Repeat, no questions asked
Obey
Survival of successful
Spend your life to buy a praise
A kid who dreamed
Who cared, who believed
Slaughtered, strangled
In the name of right and wrong
Society is your new family
Squeezing you in it’s box
Yet telling how much it cares
Chorus:
Stop living other’s life
Let it go
You were born to create
Not replicate
There’s no rewind
Of time
Make it worth it
Pressure of unfulfilled dreams
They didn’t make it
But you will succeed
You will make them proud
Make! Them! Proud!
Time passes fast
Wake up 20 years later
Broke, broken home, broken dreams
Was it worth it?
To trade your life away
And buy just a little bit of approval
Chorus:
Stop dreaming other’s dreams
Let it go
You were born to create
Not replicate
There’s no rewind
Of time
Make it worth it
Woke up today
Handful happy pills ready to swallow
They say I have it all
Yet I want to die
You have it all, you have it all
I have fulfilled others life not mine
Oh yeah, I succeeded
Yet I want to die, I want to die
(Be careful what you want
You got it, you got it)
Chorus:
Stop living other’s life
Let it go
You were born to create
Not replicate
There’s no rewind
Of your life
Just make it worth it, alright?
