But They Respect My Tactics

I don't want to become that
Just a
Lesser version of what you once were
All the while
It feels so painfully
Arbitrary
I've got
Nothing worthwhile to say
And you've got
No reason to listen
Whatever gets you talking more
We're trying to keep you engaged
With the platform
Whatever gets you talking more
We're trying to keep you engaged
With the platform
But this is my story
So I'll narrate myself as whatever I want to
Hero, victim
Victim, hero

I'm just trying to keep
Myself from drowning
No valuable lesson learned
Only loss
Drag me deeper
Strip away everything I hold
All of your failures
Condensed, removed, controlled
Whatever gets you talking more
We're trying to keep you engaged
With the platform
Whatever gets you talking more
We're trying to keep you engaged
With the platform

All grow frail and die
No power lasts
Success is fleeting
Existence, temporary
