Sometimes Selling Out Is Waking Up - Coalesce

We take ourselves too seriously

We sneak as may politics as we can

But, who will be the last to realize that sometimes selling out is waking up?

So, here we are, two different walks of life crossed once before

And, it still takes a thousand miles to co-exist

We are the same, just trying to exist

If rewritten pamphlets is the best clarity can provide

Then you need one (a drink) worse than me

Being delusional, well, that’s a whole new bag and it’s fine

It’s fine with everyone until you touch them

(nothing is said no matter how angry or impassioned it may seem)

And when they finally had enough, they leave

They leave in fear

Your legacy will forever be self-righteous and violence against your own

Against your own

They can candy-coat their hardline roots all they want

But, I’ve seen the tapes

Don’t ever let those clowns define you

We take ourselves too seriously

We never leave our politics at home and just live

There will always be some struggle

Well, sometimes selling out is waking up
