Pennington - Before the Decay 

Lyrics written by Pennington.
Instrumentals and Vocals by Udio.
You thought your mind was unique,
That you were an outcast and freak.
The truth is, you're nothing special,
Neither am I, our arrogance is our peril.
Our naivety makes us feel like we don't belong,
That it's the world and not us who are wrong.
We can't go on believing it's us against the world.
We'll end up alone on the ground hurt and curled.
We all need to bleed,
We all wanted to be freed.
We all need to breed,
We all wanted to be a need.
If we keep on hiding behind that voice in our head,
We'll end up being misunderstood and dead.
F**k what people think of what we say,
It's our life, we live once and then decay.
Stop being defined by trauma in the past,
Your chance at losing happiness is coming fast.
If you can't find the beauty inside of you,
Then f**king no one else will too.
