Within the Distraction

[Verse 1]
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 hope's light, I would give anything
We are chasing our tails within distractions beyond our control
Because there must be something more

[Chorus]
Who are you to say that’s it’s not worth it?
A 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

[Verse 2]
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 its own

[Chorus]
So, who are you to say that’s it’s not worth it?
A 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

[Bridge]
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've always been my sanctuary
This liberation is all you've inspired
All I will ever need to find

I can never let go

[Chorus]
So, who are you to say that’s it’s not worth it?
A 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
