lyrics

forever is a long time to wallow in regret and indignity
forever is a long time suppressing our desires and absurdities
endeavor to be alright, and if you find the pulse then let's hear it please
forever is a long time, pretending that we really want to live this way
i won't do that [i won't give in to disease]
i take that back [i'll do whatever i please]
take your money [i wanna be a cash cow]
get some freedom [and laze around like a sow]
you gotta pay the piper to make it up the ladder of shame and greed
you gotta be a sniper, eliminate your foes try to win the game
if you find yourself lost in a world that doesn't seem to give a damn
forever is a long time to think about all the things that could have been
i won't do that [i don't regret not a thing]
i take that back [i didn't get enough bling]
give you comfort [i'll be your lover and such]
least it's somethin'[though i know it's not much]
while they were sleeping their noble servant left home
i don't know the worth of suffering, why don't you search me
maybe you'll find it i don't know
