Reform and Resistance

An addiction adversely encountered
Through counterfeit kinds of control
It's an infectious strain of relief
That sets the standard at a perfect disposition
A timebomb ticking perfectly impatient

Fake it well, sell the image at the cost of comfort
Crossing lines to expand horizons
Is still crossing lines (or what's left of them)
Cautious consideration will only get you so far
Have faith in taking chances
They're numbered so you better start taking your risks.

This is a funeral for beautiful
In entity and entirety
The urges leave marks that scar us all
We're composed of compelling qualities
To tempt the ticking in everyone else.

Embracing ill fortune is an artform,
Not a duty (not for anyone)
And we're the Renaissance
We're the romantics,
The idealists in a world of dissonance.

Sound floods the shoreline
In a mass of embarrasment
Calling out cordially
To all who're accepting it.
Are you accepting it?
Are you accepting?

Fake it well, sell the image at the cost of comfort
Crossing lines to expand horizons
Is still crossing lines (or what's left of them)
Cautious consideration will only get you so far
Have faith in taking chances
They're numbered so you better start taking your...

Better start taking your...

Better start taking your chances. (Take them for granted)
