Legacy Was Yesterday

Sealed maze of confusion The mind is perplexed Faith in the life you choose A stake in being yourself Who else can you be What else can you be True to yourself and forge ahead And deal with the fucking consequences By turns we are bemused We will be stretched taut and ordered Give a thousand apologies Trying to work through the guilt Lashed down to this legacy that was yesterday Old friend, you’re reviving the pettiness of all the worst memories From minefield of childhood to melting pot of frailty Didn't we grow up Or did we just grow apart Always looking back - why be so afraid Be True to yourself and forge ahead By turns we are bemused We will be stretched taut and ordered Give a thousand apologies Trying to work through the guilt Tripping through this legacy that was yesterday Old friend, you’re reviving the pettiness of all the worst memories Persisting in this legacy that was yesterday
