Little Pleasantries

Come back down
where the rest of us are
bite your tongue
before you lose yourself why
don't you listen to everyone else
they've been telling you
time and over
there is reason for all that subtracts
and what's left is
a faint resemblance to what you once were

Come back down
it's probably better this way
what's the point
to keep agreeing with
all the lies you've been telling yourself
to keep your sanity
where it belongs
it's only now just a matter of time
before everything
comes crumbling down to what you once was

Roll up your sleeves and put your helmet on
you're in for the ride of your life
don't bother with the little pleasantries
it's just you now against the world

Come back down
what other choice do you have
hold your breath
unless you figured out that
life is really all about the choices
that we make
every single day
when goodbyes are said to yesterday
take a look at yourself
how it reflects to what you could be

Roll up your sleeves and put your helmet on
you're in for the ride of your life
don't bother with the little pleasantries
it's just you now against the world

Come back down
this is where you belong
