High Standards

You'll never be the man
They want you to be
You've got no goals in life
It don't make since to see

Someone forgotten
Someone you used to know
Is there a reason
No one seems to care

No one can give you
The life you get
What he said was true
I'll never forget

Son the sacrifice
Now I owe my life
Give your life to God
Come into his light

Don't let the world own you
With it's false analogies
Of what a happy life looks like
And why you don't add up

There's no happy ending to this impossibility
So change your mind and give time
I'm sure you'd agree

Thy gave you heroes
Someone to look up to
You'll never be like them
No matter how hard you try

It's all superficial
A deceptive lie
I know you're getting tired
So stop

No one can give you
The life you get
What he said was true
And I'll never forget

His son the sacrifice
Now I owe my life
Give your life to God
Come into his light

Don't let the world own you
With it's false analogies
Of what a happy life looks like
And why you don't add up

There's no happy ending to this impossibility
So change your mind and give time
I'm sure you'd agree
