By You Lyrics

generation fuck you to define and redefine you'd make them all the same but molds they break away safely inside looking outside go keep on picking at it it's just going to get bigger not yet an also-ran the note left in your hand is by you asked to cease and desist what aggravation preordained it feels so good laying down i won't ask to get up again where's my life you're in control like you don't know don't say you're along for the ride sitting down when you should stand the line is in your hand and it's by you hand over hand over hand
