We Live Best

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Maybe it's a beautiful day Maybe you can feel the weight of the world pressing you down And maybe it's a walk in the park after dark to drop a hand grenade inside of a wishing well Well I've never been one to sweat what I can't control If I don't know then I suppose a guessing game and speculation's all I've got Rise above any circumstance until I lost my second chance If you can help yourself good job so help me God Scratch your temples tension forms wrinkles on Your face it's signs of age, failed dreams, and desperation Paranoid heart racing another tomorrow wasted An imaginary friend full of grace and patience And that's the sound of time slipping away Looking for a permanent place Nothing to take nothing to save all the way to the grave It's a passenger seat in a car you can't afford Staring at a house that will never be yours [Chorus] No satisfaction Suffocating Joy Never made an idol that didn't disappoint so... Kill the noise Kill the noise Kill the noise No distractions Tonight I'm all poise [Verse 2] New diagnosis what else can I learn? Never knew how to put value to what this life is really worth Once again I'm desperate Need to be respected To feel important that what I did counted And the pressure keeps mounting You won't get the best of me Now I got some success feeling like I tricked everybody All the scraps I'll take 'cause of my low self-esteem I've argued my way out of mattering the thought is crippling Crash and burn apathy hits All the good things we actually miss Shortchanged by failed attempts In our pursuit of happiness The closer you get to the top the further you're afraid to slip Nobody ever arrives we're much too scared to lose it What a slick slope celebrating false hope We didn't realize it until we reached the end of our rope What we accomplish is only as important as why we did it That lesson right there is timeless [Chorus] No satisfaction Suffocating Joy Never made an idol that didn't disappoint so... Kill the noise Kill the noise Kill the noise No distractions Tonight I'm all poise We live best We live best We live best close to death We live best We live best We live best close to death [Verse 3] Success is religion gives us purpose and meaning And the chance to be immortal if we end up achieving Success is infectious a common thread that connects us A man possessed driven to obsession baby steps into Insanity a slow stroll into delusion Commit your life to fiction get lost in the amusement We can talk about the good life but I don't think that it exists Better off not living the dream at all 'cause you can still believe in the myth [Chorus] No satisfaction Suffocating Joy Never made an idol that didn't disappoint so... Kill the noise Kill the noise Kill the noise No distractions Tonight I'm all poise We live best We live best We live best close to death We live best We live best We live best close to death
