Stray From the Path Lyrics

And when you're gone we'll hang a black flag With a lighthouse shining
When you leave, we will mark the end of this era with a symbol of warning to others, so that they too do not fall victim to your ways.

Nobody should have to settle for this This is not how it's supposed to be In one ear and out of the other This is not how it's supposed to be
No one should have to accept the status quo, and remain unaffected by the injustices and falsehoods we face. We must make a stand against these wrongs.

Now easy does it, because the kids love it This is where thoughts go to die Make no mistake there is nothing the same between you and I
We must be cautious, as some people are content with the status quo, and don't want to confront the harsh realities that we face. It is important to recognize that we are fundamentally different from these people.

I would never call it jealousy Because what you have is not what we came here to need I would call it sympathy Because what you do is a tragedy
It's not envy that we feel towards those who have more than us, because material possessions are not what we strive for. Rather, it's sympathy that we feel, as we recognize the tragedy of those who are led astray by superficial things.

You've been given a stage and you choose to use it to pass through a phase Brainless and mindless like you've been drinking and someone slipped you a bad drug Stuck on life support and I'm right by your side and I'll pull the plug I'm right by your side, I'll pull the plug on your shit
You have been given a platform, but instead of using it to create a positive change in the world, you choose to promote destructive behavior. Your actions are reminiscent of someone who is under the influence of a harmful substance, and I am willing to be the one to cut you off from spreading your harmful influence any further.

This is where it ends I'm sick of all the secrets you've been keeping And all the kids you've been deceiving Make no mistake, there is nothing the same between you and I
I refuse to be complicit in your deceitful ways any longer. You have misled many people, especially young and impressionable individuals, and I refuse to let this continue. We are fundamentally different from each other, and I will do everything in my power to stand up against your actions.

You, you're just an image for a show You're just a gimmick with no goals and your intentions are terrible There's no soul
You are just a facade, meant to appeal to the masses and to distract them from the real issues that we should be addressing. Your goals are unclear, and your motives are nefarious. There is no substance behind your superficial image.

So lean on your crutch because it must be too hard for you to stand Spineless and arrogant. Must be hard for you to stand So ride it out because I know it will be over soon I won't swallow my pride, and pat the backs of who I despise I swear this will be over soon
You rely on crutches to hold you up, because you lack the strength and conviction to stand on your own two feet. Your arrogance is a reflection of your insecurities. But rest assured, your time in the spotlight will not last forever. I will never compromise my convictions to support those who I know to be harmful to our cause. This conflict will not continue indefinitely.
