Abaculus - Personal Impetus Lyrics

No guidelines in life, no correct way
So we must decide our path everyday
I advise to improvise, attempt anti-cliche
Identify a problem, you can be the change

As we're raised we're shown a world we know
As we age we see we've no clue what's above or below
So many places for human knowledge to grow
Places for our passions to find a home, so

No guidelines in life, no correct way
So we decide our own path everyday
I advise to improvise, attempt anti-cliche
Identify a problem and you can be the change

We were not made to repeat simple tasks
Or recite answers to the questions that they ask
Mindless work making time pass
I refuse to sit back and watch the world through this glass

No guidelines in life, no correct way
So we must decide our path everyday
I advise to improvise, attempt anti-cliche
Identify a problem and you can be the change

Look, man, what do you want to be known for
Quicker than you know your whole life will be over
Exposure to your soul is more important than you know
Or you'll die not feeling entirely whole
Shake off your composure, this is life you poser
We're all totally lost we're all new home owners
There's no chauffeurs to tell you what'll be all right
You've got yourself and every day, and every night
You say you stand for this, but all you do is sit
I believe in your dream, get up and claim it
And I get that small steps make you feel like a child
But start now and I promise you're going to go miles
I can't put into words the power that you have
I'll grab on to phrases and the meaning will halve
Just breathe in the world, love the dawn and the dusk
Fall in love with life, embrace wanderlust
My plans feel larger than my wingspan
I can't stand to feel like others don't understand
These plans I have to be so much greater than
The restricting hands that shaped my homeland
I must expand my horizons, demand my ties in
This is not the spot that I wish to die in
Dive in to widen and to brighten my life's end
Barriers to enlighten closing in like knife ends
I've got to get out, I've got to be more
People are bleeding, humanity is at war
And I know I'm not enough to keep lives from dying
But who's out there to just stop me for trying
I don't want the dreams that they say are ours
Having big houses, watches, and fancy cars
Saying stuff on a track, it may not seem worth it
But I believe change happens person by person
