With destruction comes creation, we all live in a predicament
Slip on my mask to disguise systemic frustration
It’s not a set back, it’s character development
Hopes and dreams of normalcy, an even temperament
How far have I come if still governed by rumination
With destruction comes creation, we all live in a predicament
Pleasantries and etiquette undermine compiling resentment
Just dig and you’ll find it, the illusion of transformation
It’s not a set back, it’s character development
A sacrifice for the future of self, a human investment
One step forward one step back, the crippling definition of stagnation
With destruction comes creation, we all live in a predicament
Every passing year amplifies feelings of disenchantment
I need a break, I need a lobotomy, a permanent vacation
It’s not a set back, it’s character development
Lying to oneself, the easiest road to impairment
Put energy into your reflection to achieve redemption
With destruction comes creation, we all live in a predicament
It’s not a set back, it’s character development
