Odium (Canada) - Within The Distraction

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
