[Verse]

Am C G D
What will prove to be our big mistake?
Am C G D
Short-sighted arrogance, all for what sake?
Am C G D
Our families to ashes, our ambitions to dust
Am C D
Our progeny, in silence, thinking “what about us?”
Em C D Em C D
But don’t forget the dance of neglect

[Chorus]

Em C G D
The march for empowering prosperity
Em C G D
The pain from loss and want for mere lucidity
C
Just maternal residue and I was there too
Em
And maybe so were you

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]

Am C G D
When something is won, it comes with sacrifice
Am C G D
It’s there beneath the joy, the glory and pride
Am C G D
Rarely it’s acknowledged, but in positive light
Am C D
Consciously omitting the losers plight
Em C D Em C D
But don’t forget the dance of neglect

[Chorus 2]

Em C G D
The craving for community that never was met
Em C G D
The longing for status and overture of regret
C
With no one to deter pathetically unsure
Em
Forgetting who they were

[Bridge]

C
Just maternal residue and I was there too

And maybe so were you
