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 coyuld 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 a__ume
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
though we surrendered what others want to treasure

we ended up with so much more
