Potential

Hey there, Mr. Personality, was everybody wrong to think

That you would have the world on it's knees

Or perhaps we were too blind to see that all your grace would fall to entropy

Leaving only fear and apathy and useless dreams

And the shadows that you cast so tall on the wall of possibility

Grow closer to infinity with every word that goes unsaid

Cause you could build your house of gold if you could only find a place to start

But for now there's just a question mark hanging on your head

Cause you could be the best there ever was (3x)

But you won't move cause you're to scared

Potential shines so bright when never dared

And I never thought I'd find you gagged and bound by mediocrity

Denying who you want to be how did your standards get so low?

Or are you still content hang your feat in the pool of opportunity

When everyone has yet to see a single thing to show

Hey Mr. World at your Feet did you finally accept defeat?

Or was your bark more than your bite

When you wake up from your dream to find your smile has lost it's gleam

Well maybe then you'll see the light

Cause you could be the best there ever was (3x)

But nothing's gained when nothing's shared

Potential shines so bright when never dared

So break those chains and take the world

It's yours to claim, or are you still afraid

To take some value from those impotent dilapidated aspirations
