John Reuben - We Live Best lyrics

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

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

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 hit's
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

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

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

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
