Time To Leave

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Taught young, the world's wisdom I was told life's a game, the earth will be your stadium Be alert, pay attention One day even your friends will become the competition Trust no one but do remember this, never burn any potential bridges Know who's who, and what they can do for you And don't feel bad cause' in the end they're gonna do it to you too Remember life's not fair In order to maintain, you're gonna have to let you sensitivity be trained A machine more than a human being What you say doesn't always have to be what you mean Tell them what they want to hear if it's to your benefit And words beyond closed doors are insignificant Push yourself, never be satisfied Even if you don't get it, at least you died knowing you tried [Hook] Born, live, strive, succeed Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave Born, live, strive, succeed Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave' Born, live, strive, succeed Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave' Now, all we see is now Gain it all, now it's time [Verse 2] Taught young, the world's wisdom Begin to pay attention and make my own observations All of these kids working hard for admiration Doing their best not to meet their social expiration Kind of hard in a world this finicky Easily praised and yet destroyed just as quickly I guess me and this planet must not be compatible 'Cause I don't want its approval to feel valuable So who's next to climb the wall of success, just to see how good the top truly gets Chasing lies disguised as going somewhere only to arrive and realize it's really no where' That's even if you get there in the first place What an incredible let down we're bound to face When we substitute purpose for cheap counterfeit Too busy trying to succeed in life that we forget to live it [Hook] Born, live, strive, succeed Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave Born, live, strive, succeed Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave' Born, live, strive, succeed Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave' Now, all we see is now Gain it all, now it's time [Verse 3] You can live in the infinite or give in to the immediate Gain it all but someday you'll have to leave it This world is temporary and it's heart is selfish Think to yourself, is this what wealth is But now, all we see is now and now is not a bad thing but now does bring tomorrow then Now becomes then Moments escape, new ones replace them Don't want to face the end still searching Asking what in this world did I ever find worth in What could be worse than life of wasted years Nothing lasting, nothing true, nothing dear I fear losing beauty in pursuit of bigger things I fear a broken home courtesy of the American dream Maybe that's just me with my emotions on my sleeve, but one way or another we all wear what we believe [Hook] Born, live, strive, succeed Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave Born, live, strive, succeed Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave' Born, live, strive, succeed Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave' But now, we're wasting now
