What Makes Us Whole

I could choke on those words when you said I was worthless
Should let go of my dreams

A subject of your ridicule
You watched us treading water
Yet against the odds and obstacles
We kept forging our way

Expect no understanding
For what you love doing
They barely scratched the surface
Of the all consuming

Armed with our passion for music
We'll fight the critics
For our own amusement

No sad piece of garbage can ever control
Or claim a piece of what makes us whole

Are you nodding your head now?
Got you sold?
Think about the things we could be telling you
We just don't
Everyone do what you enjoy
It's hard to start anything
Surrounded by these thieves of joy

We'll make this easy for you
We're not listening
No matter what you do
You bet we'll stay the same
We'll stay the same

Waste all your strength on making us think it's a wasteful endeavor
Go whine your life away
For not knowing better

We could go on and on and on and on
Until you'll hate this song
No sad piece of garbage
Can ever claim what makes us whole

Are you nodding your head now?
Got you sold?
Think about the things we could be telling you
We just don't

We'll make this easy for you
We're not listening
No matter what you do
You bet we'll stay the same
