Imagination overrun
Unwelcome shadows
Mark the setting of the sun
Honest compassion it takes the blame
Hard work is underscored to favor fame
Buy these impressions build my brand
Supplying authenticity when there is no demand
All we are is too soft to survive
Why pursue this broken dream knowing it won't save you from yourself
Struggling to find a voice when all they want is for you to sound like someone else
If all you need is validation so you compromise
Then this business will devour you 'cause you're too soft
Too soft to survive
Echoing voices in my head
Eat, f*ck, and drink but never fed
Whale and wasp, like a man in the box
Come as you are but there's an everlasting cost
Suffering lets you pave the way
But you must proselytize your message
'Till there's nothing left to say
All we are is too soft to survive
Why pursue this broken dream knowing it won't save you from yourself
Struggling to find a voice when all they want is for you to sound like someone else
If all you need is validation so you compromise
This business will devour you 'cause you're too soft, too soft to survive
