John Reuben - We Live Best Lyrics

[Verse 1]Maybe it's a beautiful dayMaybe you can feel the weight of the world pressing you downAnd maybe it's a walk in the park after dark to drop a hand grenade inside of a wishing wellWell I've never been one to sweat what I can't controlIf I don't know then I suppose a guessing game and speculation's all I've gotRise above any circumstance until I lost my second chanceIf you can help yourself good job so help me GodScratch your temples tension forms wrinkles onYour face it's signs of age, failed dreams, and desperationParanoid heart racing another tomorrow wastedAn imaginary friend full of grace and patienceAnd that's the sound of time slipping awayLooking for a permanent placeNothing to take nothing to save all the way to the graveIt's a passenger seat in a car you can't affordStaring at a house that will never be yours[Chorus]No satisfactionSuffocating JoyNever made an idol that didn't disappoint so...Kill the noiseKill the noiseKill the noiseNo distractionsTonight 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 worthOnce again I'm desperateNeed to be respectedTo feel important that what I did countedAnd the pressure keeps mountingYou won't get the best of meNow I got some success feeling like I tricked everybodyAll the scraps I'll take 'cause of my low self-esteemI've argued my way out of mattering the thought is cripplingCrash and burn apathy hitsAll the good things we actually missShortchanged by failed attemptsIn our pursuit of happinessThe closer you get to the top the further you're afraid to slipNobody ever arrives we're much too scared to lose itWhat a slick slope celebrating false hopeWe didn't realize it until we reached the end of our ropeWhat we accomplish is only as important as why we did itThat lesson right there is timeless[Chorus]No satisfactionSuffocating JoyNever made an idol that didn't disappoint so...Kill the noiseKill the noiseKill the noiseNo distractionsTonight I'm all poiseWe live bestWe live bestWe live best close to deathWe live bestWe live bestWe live best close to death[Verse 3]Success is religion gives us purpose and meaningAnd the chance to be immortal if we end up achievingSuccess is infectious a common thread that connects usA man possessed driven to obsession baby steps intoInsanity a slow stroll into delusionCommit your life to fiction get lost in the amusementWe can talk about the good life but I don't think that it existsBetter off not living the dream at all 'cause you can still believe in the myth[Chorus]No satisfactionSuffocating JoyNever made an idol that didn't disappoint so...Kill the noiseKill the noiseKill the noiseNo distractionsTonight I'm all poiseWe live bestWe live bestWe live best close to deathWe live bestWe live bestWe live best close to death
