Within The Distraction

Impaled on picket fencesThe choice to follow your dreamsWas only ever a dreamYou were born nothingThat's what you'll die withTo see hopes lightI would give anythingWe are chasing our tailsWithin distractions beyond our controlBecause there must be something more[Chorus]Who are you to say that's it's not worth itSliver of all you've been promisedI know why you can't let go of all thisThe obsession is all you've ever knownTo just let goI've seen what that can do to a manWhen mediocrity is unacceptableTo strive for something, anythingKeeps me saneAll the problems non existentJust to persist is a vision all it's own[Chorus]So who are you to say that's it's not worth itSliver of all you've been promisedI know why you can't let go of all thisThe obsession is all you've ever knownAs I walk through the valley in the shadow of youI know doubt and despair in my…desperation won't get me throughRegret is a part of meYou're living proofYou've had my loyaltyYou'll always be my sanctuaryThis liberation is all you've inspiredAll I will ever need to findI can never let go[Chorus]Who are you to say that's it's not worth itSliver of all you've been promisedI know why you can't let go of all thisThe obsession is all you've ever known
