Within The Distraction
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Impaled on picket fences
The choice to follow your dreams
Was only ever a dream
You were born nothing
That’s what you’ll die with
To see hopes light
I would give anything
We are chasing our tails
Within distractions beyond our control
Because there must be something more
Who are you to say that’s it’s not worth it
Sliver of all you’ve been promised
I know why you can’t let go of all this
The obsession is all you’ve ever known
To just let go
I’ve seen what that can do to a man
When mediocrity is unacceptable
To strive for something, anything
Keeps me sane
All the problems non existent
Just to persist is a vision all it’s own
So who are you to say that’s it’s not worth it
Sliver of all you’ve been promised
I know why you can’t let go of all this
The obsession is all you’ve ever known
As I walk through the valley in the shadow of you
I know doubt and despair in my
Desperation won’t get me through
Regret is a part of me
You’re living proof
You’ve had my loyalty
You’ll always be my sanctuary
This liberation is all you’ve inspired
All I will ever need to find
I can never let go
Who are you to say that’s it’s not worth it
Sliver of all you’ve been promised
I know why you can't let go of all this
The obsession is all you’ve ever known
