SOTD – Straylight Run “It’s for the Best”

May 11th, 2009

Straylight Run – It’s for the Best (Listen at Last.fm)

And it takes more time than I’ve ever had
Drains the life from me
Makes me want to forget

As young as I was, I felt older back then
More disciplined, stronger and certain

But I was scared to death of eternity
I was saved by grace
But destroyed by naivety
And I lied to myself
And said it was for the best

And now faith is replaced with a logic so cold
I’ve disregarded what I was
Now that I’m older

And I know much more than I did back then
But the more I learn
The more I can’t understand

And I’ve become content with this life that I lead
Where I drink too much
and don’t believe in much of anything

And I lie to myself
And say “it’s for the best.”

We’re moving forward, but holding ourselves back
And we’re waiting on something that will never come
