Chorus:

Too much too early, too little too late

Verse:

With pieces scattered all over the floor

W/no way to put them back together

The gilded cage fills w/crocodile-tears

& anger broods on its unmade bed of pain

Chorus:

Too much too early, too little too late

Verse:

Claiming nightmares as forgotten dreams

Laying waste to paradise, no exit strategy

Touting cowardice & shame in all sincerity

Chorus:

Too much too early, too little too late

Middle Eight:

Out of sight, out of mind

Life or death, name your price

Sell your soul, buy more time

Hope is lost, preach your crime

Chorus:

Too much too early, too little too late

Refrain:

Infighting, backbiting, shitslinging, bullshitting

Jawboning, pie-holing, earmarking, piggybacking

Glad-handing, backslapping, lip-flapping, tongue-wagging

Lesser of two evils

Abnegation, negotiation, litigation

Mediation, mitigation, propagation

Path-of-least-resistance

Virtue used against us

Vice as a premise

Heaven held hostage

Hell just as promised

Collateral-damage

In love & innocence

Lowest-common-denominated

Verse:

Addicted to the sweetest lies

Money will never buy

All the best intentions

From those who intend nothing

While attention goes unpaid

In the prison of our minds

Chorus:

Too much too early, too little too late

Refrain:

We hold the keys to escape

But we fear the work it takes

We betray ourselves everytime

We dream to civilize
