"There is no leader"

If I may disrupt you;
May I have your attention please? Would you...
...hold your breath for a second, turn around and take a look back.
...lay aside your prejudice, lay aside your rage and your pride.
...be honest and be real, just for one moment, internalise what and who you see.
Now turn your head again;
I'll hand you a mirror, do me the favour, take a look inside and...
...let it sink in.
Sew your wounds, wipe away the broken smiles
Staring at the person you're now, keeping in mind where you came from
Keeping in mind who attended you, maybe led your way to this point.

Hold your past in high regard, but hold your companions even higher.
Hold your past in high regard, but hold your companions even higher.

I know that time changes, and that it changes you
But the binding of a real understanding won't be severed by the claws of time
The shelter of a real friendship won't be cracked by the storm of strive or distance
Bandage the sewed wounds, renew the bygone smiles.
Staring at the person you're now, keeping in mind where you came from
Keeping in mind who attended you, maybe led your way to this point.

Hold your past in high regard, but hold your companions even higher.
Hold your past in high regard, but hold your companions even higher.

"Meth? Not even once.."
