Too Soft To Survive

Imagination overrun Unwelcome shadows Mark the setting of the sun Honest compassion it takes the blame Hard work is underscored to favor fame Buy these impressions build my brand Supplying authenticity when there is no demand All we are is too soft to survive Why pursue this broken dream knowing it won't save you from yourself Struggling to find a voice when all they want is for you to sound like someone else If all you need is validation so you compromise Then this business will devour you 'cause you're too soft Too soft to survive Echoing voices in my head Eat, f*ck, and drink but never fed Whale and wasp, like a man in the box Come as you are but there's an everlasting cost Suffering lets you pave the way But you must proselytize your message 'Till there's nothing left to say All we are is too soft to survive Why pursue this broken dream knowing it won't save you from yourself Struggling to find a voice when all they want is for you to sound like someone else If all you need is validation so you compromise This business will devour you 'cause you're too soft, too soft to survive
