There's got to be more to this life than a stagnant existence
Obeying the laws of inertia till the bitter end
Kept captive and docile, confined by a set of restrictions
Born of a different time, place and circumstance
That was then
We'll, this is now
This self-imposed prison we've got to break out of somehow
Given the benefit of hindsight, would you take a critical glance
To question your motives, and challenge your stance
Turn down the free round-trip ticket down memory lane
Strive for clearer distinctions between the now and the then
That was then
We'll, this is now
This self-imposed prison we've got to break out of somehow
You keep resisting change
Afraid the loss would outweigh the gain
Your own restraints
Will be the ones to apply the chains
