[Verse 1] I left this town in a hurry Truth told, it was burning To the ground I got out while I still could It all came down to a burden Of proof and a verdict They called us out, took a count Lined us up and it's like [Pre-Chorus] Everybody's waiting for their chance Just to pull the strings So I will go out silent Not saying anything [Chorus] And so it may seem It's not what you wanted, baby I don't blame you It's not misunderstanding How they're leading you on [Verse 2] We keep calm and press on Make enemies with Our last hope at lost cause If they have the same wish It's epidemically connected To the mental need To be the best, pat thе back Bring the kids, feed them. Shhh! It's getting hardеr and harder to keep my head down Out of commission, my vision's been the best Now I'm finding I'm so overwhelmingly unimpressed By local legends hell bent on convincing me they're the next sound [Pre-Chorus] (Joey Lawson) Oooooh, step above the let down The system's shot but the ignition is sound And the burning out is a burden now You only get one shot if you built your own gun now My dreams die when I say they do But whether I'm speaking or sleeping I can't convince you That success is written by my own convictions And unless you can live off of the rhythm You're through [Chorus] And so it may seem It's not what you wanted, baby I don't blame you It's not misunderstanding How they're leading you on Perception is king Your crown is the product you're making We spend our whole lives Regretting our time not wasted Playing along [Interlude] [?] have life, I want it to mean something If you are not making someone else's life better Then you're wasting your time [Bridge] (Dave Bausch) This is not a solution But it's a step in the right direction I've got haters on both sides Fighting over a close tied ghost ride On a track with no traction This is not a delusion Giving up could be improving If your ego is all this scene has to profit If shame's your weapon And you've got insecurities cocked Take your shot But you've got the wrong target Na na na, na na Na na na, na na na na Na na na, na na Na, na na na, na na na, na You know what I'm saying [Chorus] And so it may seem It's not what you wanted, baby I don't blame you It's not misunderstanding How they're leading you on Perception is king Your crown is the product you're making We spend our whole lives Regretting our time not wasted Playing along [Outro] So it may seem So it may seem Perception is king Your crown is the product you're making We spend our whole lives Regretting our time not wasted Playing along
