John Reuben - Time To Leave Lyrics
Taught young, the worlds wisdomI told lifes a game, the earth will be your stadiumBe alert, pay attention(One day) Even your friends will become the competitionTrust no one but do remember this, never burn any potential bridgesKnow whos who, and what they can do for youAnd dont feel bad cause in the end theyre gonna do it to you tooRemember lifes not fairIn order to maintain, your gonna have to let you sensitivity be trainedA machine more than a human beingWhat you say doesnt always have to be what you meanTell them what they want to hear if its to your benefitAnd words beyond closed doors are insignificantPush yourself, never be satisfiedEven if you dont get it, at least you died knowing you triedBorn, live, strive, succeedGain it all, bye, now its time to leaveNow, all we see is nowTaught young, the worlds wisdomBegin to pay attention and make my own observationsAll of the kids working hard for admirationTrying their best not to meet their social expirationKind of hard in a world this finickyEasily praised and yet destroyed just as quicklyI guess me and this world must not be compatible, cause I dont want its approval to feel valuableSo whos next to climb the wall of success, just to see how good the top truly getsChasing lies disguised as going somewhere only to arrive and realize its really no whereThats even if you get there in the first placeWhat an incredible let down were bound to face when we substitute purpose for cheap counterfeitToo busy trying to succeed in life that we forget to live itYou can live in the infinite or give in to the immediateGain it all but someday youll have to leave itThis world is temporary and its heart is selfishThink to yourself, is this what wealth isBut now, all we see is now and now is not a bad thing but now does bring tomorrow thenNow becomes thenMoments escape, new ones replace themDont want to face the end still searchingAsking what in this world did I ever find worth inWhat could be worse than life of wasted yearsNothing lasting, nothing true, nothing dearI fear losing beauty in pursuit of bigger thingsI fear a broken home courtesy of the American dreamMaybe thats just me with my emotions on my sleeve, but one way or another we all wear what we believeBorn, live, strive, succeedGain it all, bye, now its time to leaveBut now, were wasting now
