Lyrics:

I feel like I
Have been goin’ through the motions for all my life.
I've been so content to just get by.
I know I could do so much more if I tried.
Sayin that I'm doin my best would be a lie.
I realize, that Real Life, requires, Sacrifice.

The worst part of me.
Is My,
Complacency.

My complacency has got me stuck in conservation mode.
How do I become a star and get to constellation mode?
I've been thinkin’ thinkin’ thinkin’ stuck in contemplation mode.
Underachieving it is obvious as observations go.
I'm uncomfortable in situations I cannot control.
If I'm unsure if I can do it I will probably let it go.
Even though I know I'm capable of reachin’ most my goals.
I'm afraid that when I get there all my fears will be exposed.

I'm always over analysin’.
The “what ifs” are paralyzin’.
Spendin’ my time fantasizin’
About a life that's tantalizin’.
While I continue vandalizin’
Everything that's good.
Putting off the things that help me and the things I know I should.

There's lots of things I can do but I don't.
Feel like I've gotta do everything on my own.
That's what you sposed do you supposed to be grown.
But you've shown. That...

The worst part of me...
The worst part of me...
The worst part of me...
Complacency.

Contentment is the enemy of progress.
Dragging my feet Ive trudging through the process.
I've been given too much information to process.
They tellin’ me I'm talented and I respond with I guess.
I've been lacking confidence.
I guess that's a defect.
From growin’ up so different always feelin’ like a reject.
Caught up in opinions always tryna find respect.
Wishin’ I could do it over change it up and Respect.
Go and hit Reset.
Maybe start a new game.
Build me a new character.
And Maybe make a new name.
That's Blessed with hindsight. 
Know exactly how I'd things.
Cuz what to do with this one.
I ain't got a clue mane. I tell em...

I'm good, I'm good, I'm great,
But that is a lie cuz I'm really not ok.
Something's gotta change yeah well maybe that's today.
Something's gotta change. Gotta change...

I feel like I
Have been goin through the motions for all my life.
I've been so content to just get by.
I know I could do so much more if I tried.
Sayin that I'm doin my best would be a lie.
I realize. That Real life. Requires Sacrifice.

The worst part of me,
Is My,
Complacency.
