Gospel Burnout

(album: Artificial Selection - 2018)

They say, "Don't ever meet your heroes"
Reverence is temporary until the truth comes out
Do yourself a favor die young, ignorance is celebrated
Don't let dark sides come out

Keep your eyes closed
If you're ever gonna stand for something
Keep your head down, closed
If you want to keep your mouth don't run it
Shut that shit down

If you need some company
You should meet these obligations
What's responsibility
It ain't permanent vacations
Yeah you think you give a great hug, no
Yeah you think you give a great hug, no
Yeah you squish your little face smug
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Feeling...

Lately, I've been feeling like all my friends I used to love
Have turned out to be sociopaths
Do they even know what it's like in the real world?
Too busy getting high
Now their vacancy is a reminder of
All the ways I used to sell myself
Lack of compassion down for the cause
Feeding the fever whatever the cost

Wanna deify opinion
Evidence is secondary
East-west equals North-south
Do yourself a favor die young
Ignorance is advocated
Don't let gospel burn out

Keep your eyes closed
If you're ever gonna stand for something
Keep your head down, closed
If you want to keep your mouth don't run it
Shut that shit down

If you need some company
You should meet these obligations
What's responsibility
It ain't permanent vacations
Yeah you think you give a great hug, no
Yeah you think you give a great hug, no
Yeah you squish your little face smug, oh
Yeah you got your validation huh?
Yeah be your own patient, no
Yeah you got your validation huh?
Yeah you squish your little face smug
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Feeling...
