Persistance Award - Child Bite

I take no pride in a persistence award

I take no pride

I take no pride

A flawed logic

A fool’s pledge

You found your love and then you begged it to kill

I take no pride in a persistence award

I take no pride

I take no pride

There will be no ceremony

No lesson learned

Until they take you away

You found your dream, it is yours and yours alone

There will be no second chances

No improvement

Until they take you away

You build your own monument

And you make it over and over and over and over

The lord of the repeated mistake

Nothing’s sacred

Ego endures

Self-serving effigy, waste of a life but still ego endures

Nothing’s sacred

Ego endures

Self-serving effigy, waste of a life but still ego endures

Build, you build your own monument

And you make it over and over and over and over

The lord of the repeated mistake

Takes his pride in a persistence award

I take no pride in a persistence award

I take no pride

Yet still I persist
