Grandeur Lyrics

better than all the rest
but just in my head
this can go just so far
before life steps in
violently
wakes our dreams
to leave us in bed
it has scared off the hopes
of our life of sin

from those worthless of days
to the too late of nights
i've been losing the chance
to get all this right
and as i watch our stars
slowly fade away
they make room
for someone to who i can't relate

maybe we'll get better
but then maybe we won't
could crush your expectations
or fade out alone
and now we're 9 tracks in
and i'm under the gun
it's almost 3 a.m.
and i'm losing this touch


meteors, sight of bars
only whet the thirst
all i've heard in their words
somewhere there is more
while we wait fill our days
stagnate in the wings
we use friends to fill in
the parts that still hurt

take a chance
so they say
from their finest affairs
through the fluff
it's not clear just how to get there
bare it all they believe
but they never say
what to do
if you've got
nothing you can say


(chorus)
+
and this girl drives me crazy
shows me what i've done
can't you just feel the patterns
measure what i've lost
now i'm counting on strangers
like i've done before
hoping that they'll hear something
in between the words

but you know i won't let you down
we're safe for another day
another sun another day
will have gone by
a better time

when we will find our will to fight
we'll prove them wrong in spite
you're better dead
you're better dead
just better dead

get out right now
no come back down
i'll make my share of mistakes
now tread more lightly
show us gritty
we'll show you what you should be today
but i might just give up today
we're coming undone today
