distractions from the ordinary
|
real life just not good enough
|
explanations hard to come by
|
living outside the institutions
|
waking in awkward situations
|
i wouldn't have it any other way
|
|
i can't recall a better time,
|
each day felt like the next would never come
|
i realize i couldn't get enough
|
alternatives all felt like death
|
i wish i could safely say
|
all the right decisions were always made
|
ya we were young but we're still here
|
happy to starve for another year
|
|
it seems so right for one to assume
|
that what we are is what we see
|
what we buy who we do
|
i would have ended up that way if not for those miles
|
those endless days
|
i know it's not for everyone, empty halls,
|
empty stomachs, empty hopes
|
in retrospect we had it all
|
|
we didn't choose this life, this life chose us long ago
|
a web of friends and moments impossible to let go
|
though we surrendered what others want to treasure
|
we ended up with so much more
|
|
we didn't choose this life, this life chose us long ago

a web of friends and moments impossible to let go
