lyrics

We all become something other than what
we wanna be, in spite of us.

Too short, too tall.
The reason’s just keep stacking up
for all the disbelievers to get loud.
Fine time, to live.
And time’s a waisting
to truly live like there’s no tock to tick.

We all become something other than what
we wanna be, in spite of us.

And all those awful places
and all those ugly faces
you gotta stare down
to make the darkness go away,
suck the venom from the wound,
shine the light into the tomb.

We all become something other than what
we wanna be, in spite of us.

If you’re too low
to find what you want in life
then who’d even care if you tried?

We all become something other than what
we wanna be, in spite of us.
