Generations Songtext

von August Burns Red

I hate the way
The weight of your decisions
Weigh upon me, I won't carry them on my shoulders

My knees may buckle, but my resolve is strong
I am the future and I'm here to prove you wrong

You are concerned with dragging me down
Everything in me won't let me drown
Won't let me drown

What you decide has impact on you forever
It will cave in on you forever
You can't ignore what surrounds you forever
You can't ignore what surrounds you forever

What goes up must come down
It's simple physics you see, the laws of gravity
I'll stay above the water
Just to prove my persistence
I'm holding on to my desire
To improve our existence
The remedy starts with me
It's the logic we all need

Take hold and accept it
If you want things to be different
Take hold and accept it
If you want things to be different
Take hold and accept it
Take hold and accept it
If you want things to be different

I'm waiting impatiently
While your skin turns thin
You can't ignore what surrounds you forever
Soon enough it will all cave in

Ideas built upon a weak base
Will slip away without a trace
Like a house that's made of sand
Being torn to the ground by the waves

I promise to always see things from a better perspective
One that won't block those who chose another direction
And this promise to myself, I won't let it go
(Won't let it go, won't let it go)

I'll stand up, and take it all in
With open arms, I'll accept what we've been given
And this promise to myself, I won't let it go
(Won't let it go, won't let it go)

Won't let it go, won't let it go
Won't let it go, won't let it go
I won't let it go
Won't let it go, won't let it go
I won't let it go
This promise to myself, I won't let it go
I won't let it go
Won't let it go, won't let it go
Won't let it go, won't let it go
I won't let it go
