Lyrics Self Preservation - Modern Life Is War

Self Preservation

This is ambition
As ugly as it gets;
Uncommon kids and their fight against an early death
By common sense!
This is motivation
Free of contempt;
Our generation has come of age
And left us here with bitterness!
So when you’re feeling jagged
And you think you’ve gone fucking mad
(Salt your wounds!)
Feel the sting of the things you never had
The things you always wanted
And the things they said you would never be
Focus on the pain
And find the strength to make your own reality
Please understand!
You only live your life but once!
So don’t hold back
And don’t live it in a rut
Let’s go!
For far too long we’ve heard
«Life's not like that»
From timid souls longing
And filled with regret
But why should we take advice
From the boring-working-brain-dead?
We’re forward thinking youth
And we can use our own heads!
So when you’re feeling jagged
And you think you’ve gone fucking mad
(Salt your wounds!)
Feel the sting of the things you never had
The things you always wanted
And the things they said you would never be
Focus on the pain
And find the strength to make your own reality
Self Preservation!
