[Verse 1]
To reflect on my mistakes
I had to make a change
I had to learn to stop talking before things began to go south
But it's so hard to hold my tongue with my foot in my mouth
Now I don't say much of anything
I keep my words in my head
I can't take back what is said
Is it feedback that I dread
Or is it a complete lack of a laid back cardiac so instead
I will bury these thoughts in the soil
And some are so rotten I worry I spoil myself a little too often
But I never enjoy a wealth that I haven't earned my constant turmoil is that I worry too much
Always under construction
Stressing to become better that I barely can function
So hard to live a dream with the perfectionist gene
When all my flaws come falling down on me
[Chorus 1]
I'm part of the problem
You're part of the cure
So let's get to solving
Don't wait for a savior
[Bridge]
What you want for you
Could be what we want instead
And you could see the view
[Verse 2]
I'm confident that this consequence is a constant
If you're complacent to the cause, then you're complicit in the conflict
Is your conscience unconscious?
Are you cognizant of your cognitive dissonance
This distance takes courage, causation, convincing conversation
So can you meet me halfway?
Can you see where you're wrong?
I know I'm wrong too
But I've been here all along
To teach us how to break bread instead of how to break ties
My only goal in life is show us to uncover our eyes
[Chorus 2]
You're part of the problem
I'm part of the cure
So let's get to solving
Don't wait for a savior
[Verse 3]
So how close will I come?
Will I still try when I've won?
Is what I practice for life?
Will I be dead when I'm done?
Built bad habits when young, like saying 'they' instead of 'we'
Everyone can lead if we say 'us' instead of 'me'
We could be better than anyone thought we could be
And I can change the whole world with any thought that I think
Backed by the drive of a choice I made when I saw I was blind
When a decision comes up I have to make the right one every time
And I'm still practicing that
And I still need your help on occasion
Right is subjective it changes like variables in equations
Every formula is flawed and every stat just a number
But the struggles that we face are how we connect with each other
[Chorus 3]
We're part of the problem
We're part of the cure
So let's get to solvin'
Don't wait for a savior
