Verse 1:

When I look at my generation.
I see so much pain, so much frustration.
Faulted Concentration, manipulation.
And I wonder if things will ever get better.
Only way it'll stop is if we do it together.
Otherwise this will never stop.
Until they kill themselves with the pills…
And the bottles till they drop.
Sometimes I look at the people in my generation…
And I see that they are….

(Chorus)

So Far Gone.
So Far Gone.
That they have forgotten who they even are.
So Far Gone.
That their mind doesn't even understand.
The danger they put themselves in that is at hand.
Some people are So Far Gone…
That they don't wanna be helped or saved.
Just drowning in their own misery…
So enslaved!
So Far Gone, So Far Gone, So Far Gone!

(End of 1st Chorus)

Verse 2:

You beat yourself up.
For no reason.
Yet I understand how you are so abused.
So used! So confused.
With how to cope with it.
Cut yourself to relieve the pain.
But it doesn't help, cus it will still remain.
Stop doing this to yourself, its not worth it at all…
When I see you, you seem…

(Chorus)

So Far Gone.
So Far Gone.
That they have forgotten who they even are.
So Far Gone.
That their mind doesn't even understand.
The danger they put themselves in that is at hand.
Some people are So Far Gone…
That they don't wanna be helped or saved.
Just drowning in their own misery…
So enslaved!
So Far Gone, So Far Gone, So Far Gone!

(End of Last Chorus)

Last Verse:

We need to change this now.
We need to do it somehow.
Rise up, stand up.
Stop the enabling!
Stop the remaining…
Evil, we so openly accept.
Now don't you see how we reflect?
And the lies we inject?
Can't you see how it affects…
You.
You're so, you're so, you're.

So Far Gone….

I don't know how this is supposed to be sung, but to me it feels better as just a poem not a song. But that could be because I don't know the music genre it's in an such.
