Justification
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We have tried and failed
We have stumbled and fallen
We have tried a new taste and spit it back out
We have taken a left turn when we meant to turn right
We lost sight of our origins
But our past never lost sight of us
It's not emulation - cause that's not this hard
Not imitation - cause that won't take you far
Not digression - cause i'm falling straight up
It is progression - i'm not afraid to stand up
I don't know what is expected
But i expected it to be great
I said "i'm trying my hardest"
But he didn't like the tape
Take a look at what you're doing
And tell me i'm too late
You say we're walking backwards
Well, that dead horse sure can run
The truth
I know i can
I know i will
I know -i know what i have to do
And now you'll listen
And i hope it won't hurt
I've seen your poison
You've done your worst
I've seen your better
And i can't believe it's true
You've lost the truth that used to live inside of you
