You can rip and tear And see what's under there Or leave the pages bare I don't really care You can pull and scrape To make your story great Or don't participate Just submit to fate And stagnate You can make a change Trade for a new name Or you can stay the same You'll have yourself to blame Instead of building a new dream You linger in your memories You have failed to see It's all the same to me So stagnate Just stagnate And stagnate Now the tide is coming in But burdened with your sins You can't begin to swim And time is running thin So leave your broken selves behind And tread the hardest paths you'll find Or never mind Stay here with the blind Make a change Stay the same You're to blame Again and again You may not care enough to choose Either way And you may not have a dream to lose But I refuse to Stagnate
