Odium - Within the Distraction lyrics

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 hopes 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 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 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 it's own [Chorus] So who are you to say that's it's not worth it 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 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'll always be my sanctuary This liberation is all you've inspired All I will ever need to find I can never let go [Chorus] Who are you to say that's it's not worth it 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
