Grampfather - The Myspace Tom Continuum

Complacent through the ages
It's always been this way
Keep telling yourself that it's
Never going to change
Tradition's your only mission
To always stay the same
Despite facts that reveal fictions
You're never going to change
Set in your ways
Until the day
You die alongside
No one besides your pride
But a mind transcribed
Does not die soon
Even though you might want it to
I can't reach you
I can't break through
Fragmented into factions
Down we go the rabbit holes
To mend dissatisfaction
With what we don't want to know
Though you can try to ignore it
Reality has a way
Of breaking down your fortress
And permeating
Everything you thought that you knew
Gone are the old days
Adapt or decay
Well I don't know what to say
It seems clear to me
That the only thing that stays the same
Is the changing constantly
So keep up or keep out
Echo chambers suffocate
The range of the mind
God forbid you ever become
A critic of yourself
There's sanctity in humility
You can't always get it right
But I hope one day you'll see
Through the duplicity
Of those who seem to only worship spite
I know it's not easy
To leave behind a lie
You believed in
The distance between you and me
Is the difference between
Our worlds and screens
The you you made is on display
Your manufactured, preferred face
It's hard for me to believe
That you'd actually think you'd succeed
In deceiving anybody but yourself
Too bad, oh well
We've all got our own hells
Well it just doesn't make sense to me
I mean times are pretty rough
Why spread the misery
Isn't there enough
