You-You gave us the strength

The trials of length

How shall we proceed

While our youth exceeds us?

No goal-Is achieved

Is achieved without sacrifice

No point-Is reached

Is reached without compromise!

You-You you're playing with fire

You you're gonna get burned

A lesson's repeated until it is learned

Overself

Populated

Overself

Completely drifts

Patients enter therapy

Medical simplicities

Postulated mental shifts

Overself completely drifts

Disposed of in the dirt

To monitor the hurt

We have met the enemy

And they is us

Patients enter therapy

Medical simplicities

Postulated mental shifts

Over self completely drifts

Disposed of in the dirt

To monitor the hurt

We have met the enemy

And they is us

Overself-Overself

Overself-Overself!

You-You're playing with fire

You you're gonna get burned

A lesson's repeated until it is learned

No goal-Is achieved

Is achieved without sacrifice

No point-Is reached

Is reached without compromise!
