Lyrics Persistence - All But One

Persistence

If you’re trying to keep up with this pace I’m setting
I won’t forget to mention
That you’re simply grasping at a false expectation of doomed aspiration
A false expectation
Of doomed aspiration
Persist in action
No more sedation
So bow your head and remember
Modesty is relevant, why so cynical
Patience is a commodity
So lace up and earn your way
To me it looks like you’ve got a grasp on the game in play
Just don’t get ahead of yourself, you’ll only end up in a state of dismay
Pressure makes this all better, won’t you agree
Society has got inside your head, it causes friction
This is your fight so don’t pretend you’ve got back up
Try as you might but I suggest you take a minute
A false expectation
Of doomed aspiration
Persist in action
No more sedation
So bow your head and remember
Modesty is relevant, why so cynical
Patience is a commodity
So lace up and earn your way
You’ll stand on a mountain and preach you’re entitled
Try and fake it, till you make it
But know you’re on your own
Strive for the glory of knowing you got there yourself
Imagine falling apart knowing it was yours to take
A false expectation
Of doomed aspiration
Persist in action
No more sedation
So bow your head and remember
Modesty is relevant, why so cynical
Patience is a commodity
So lace up and earn your way
