Mixtapes & Chivalry by Paper Plains from debut album Anaestalgia

lyrics

Did you see the better days? Do you remember when we were younger, before the weight of the world had turned us all against each other? Now, we’re forced to fend for ourselves (and maybe the lucky few we love) while those left behind are left to ask help from above.

Now, arrogance is instilled from birth, as naturally as falling leaves. If you can’t be there for others, who’ll be there when you’re in need? Arrogance has taken over and we live our lives for greed: “Fuck what I can do for you. Ask what you can do for me."

So much love was lost in genius playlists and convenience: online substitutes for what we used to do to show we cared. Now I can’t see the point in love when chivalry is dead, so I’m making mixtapes instead.

I thought I used to love you and I thought that you loved me, but that distant memory has become a lucid dream. Was life always this way or changed recently? Was I too young to notice, or just too naïve?

Now, charity is a dirty word. We naturally form these cohorts of ignorance to each other – ensconced in the shit we've bought. Selflessness lies in the corner and grows frail on life support, where what I can do for you won't warrant a second thought.
