[Lyric] We Live Best (John Reuben)

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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 hits
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
