For The Recognition

(album: The Generation Of Danger - 2022)

O' this old—this ol' hen's been through enough of your shit!
And I'll say when it's over!
I've achieved many things—great things!
Never once did I get recognition
You hop like somebody who can jump the world
Hop high, little bunny!
I'm about to share your dark secret
I suggest we begin
Watch how I change your life with the push of a finger...

Now, for a lobotomy!

What's been done has been done!
That's the difference between who you were
And who you will be
I've always worked outside the lines of rule books
That's how I got inside your mind
To see that you strut the platform to hide yourself
-So proud of the things you've done
-Of the measures you've taken
Ever since you were a kid
You were told you could jump to the moon
If you really put your mind to it
-If you really put the time into it
You could do it!
You could possibly achieve many things—great things!
Do it all for the recognition!
Make it fact
You could finally save the world!

And I admit that I saw that inside you
I'll bring it out because that's what I do
If it doesn't make sense
I'll find a better way—a way to make you evolve
And when you feel like the sky is collapsing
You can't believe it!
-It's only on you
If it doesn't make sense
I'll find a better way—a way to make you evolve

Your blood will flow warm today
You'll act like you're scared and ashamed
But how I know the truth!
That's the real you!
-Buried down deep is the crux
Where you soak in the recognition
When I rip out that core
It'll feel like you're stuck in a lake full of scum
-Full of shit—full of muck
And you won't be hopping out...

Fuck!

And I admit that I saw that inside you
I'll bring it out because that's what I do
If it doesn't make sense
I'll find a better way—a way to make you evolve
And when you feel like the sky is collapsing
You can't believe it!
-It's only on you
If it doesn't make sense
I'll find a better way—a way to make you evolve
I might slip and cut you if you do not sit still
