Lyrics

High Standards

You'll never be th man

They want you to be

You've got no goals in

Life it don't make since

To see someone

Forgotten someone you

Used to know is there a

Reason no one seems to

Care no one can give you

The life you get what he

Said was true and i'll

Never forget his son the

Sacrifice now i owe him

My life give your life to

God come into his light

Don't let the world own

You with it's false

Analogies of what a

Happy life looks like and

Why you don't add up

There's no happy ending

To this impossibility so

Change your mind and

Give him time i'm sure

You'd agree thy gave

You heroes someone to

Look up to you'll never

Be like them no matter

How hard you try it's all

Superficial a deceptive lie

I know you're getting

Tired so stop!
