The End of Progression

So they're saying that the end is coming?...

I'm saying that they don't know nothing... it's been right here the whole time... disguised as a straight line... if we already knew who to be, time is something that we wouldn't need... one by one you will lose yourself as you keep on following footsteps that lead the wrong direction... one by one you are fading out as you're slowly settling for the same... you play it safe... you end progression... retreating to the same old places... breeding all the same old faces... youth is wasted on the young... life is wasted on the living ones... i've been cheated, i've been broken, and it made me a better man... something you will never say... you will end before beginning, the same as you ever were... quietly you'll slip away...
