Lyrics:
Complacent,
You're growing complacent,
You forgot what it all meant,
And chose the path of convenience.

The road you took to where you're standing now,
Was fraught with obstacles that tore you down,
They made you drown.

The path of least resistance called your name,
A status quo you tried hard to maintain,
But it wasn't the same.

Sweet denial, take your leave,
You must have others to deceive,
I'm so tired of drifting backwards standing still.
So throw the towel in, if you must,
Give up hope and give up trust,
And I promise you'll drift backwards standing still.

Something changed in you when you gave up,
When you decided that you had tried enough,
The price was too much.

The inconsistencies seemed plain to see,
A swift departure from reality,
How blind can you be?

Sweet denial, take your leave,
You must have others to deceive,
I'm so tired of drifting backwards standing still.
So throw the towel in, if you must,
Give up hope and give up trust,
And I promise you'll drift backwards standing still.

Sung to sleep by sycophantic choirs,
You preferred the company of liars,
Who made you feel admired.

But one by one they turned their backs on you,
The ranks of your detractors grew and grew,
When they learned the truth.

Sweet denial, take your leave,
You must have others to deceive,
I'm so tired of drifting backwards standing still.
So throw the towel in, if you must,
Give up hope and give up trust,
And I promise you'll drift backwards standing still.
