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 seeSomeone forgotten
Someone you used to know
Is there a reason
No one seems to careNo one can give you
The life you get
What he said was true
I'll never forgetSon the sacrifice
Now I owe my life
Give your life to God
Come into his lightDon't let the world own you
With it's false analogies
Of what a happy life looks like
And why you don't add upThere's no happy ending to this impossibility
So change your mind and give time
I'm sure you'd agreeThy gave you heroes
Someone to look up to
You'll never be like them
No matter how hard you tryIt's all superficial
A deceptive lie
I know you're getting tired
So stopNo one can give you
The life you get
What he said was true
And I'll never forgetHis son the sacrifice
Now I owe my life
Give your life to God
Come into his lightDon't let the world own you
With it's false analogies
Of what a happy life looks like
And why you don't add upThere's no happy ending to this impossibility
So change your mind and give time
I'm sure you'd agree
