How To Fight Something That Eats Planets

How could you stop fighting for something
you may never have the chance to do again?
How could you give up
when there's so much left to give.
You'll sit back and watch,
and realize this is everything you wanted.
You'll just have to settle for less.

You're still tripping on the bar
that we lowered to the ground for you,
like everyone before.
Stop searching for something we will never ever find.

You say you're the best on your toes,
I know you're the best on your knees.
You feed your lies to those who listen,
and we'll follow along
if the tides don't come and wash this all away.
Maybe we learned a little too late.

You're still tripping on the bar
that we lowered to the ground for you,
like everyone before.
Stop searching for something we will never ever find.
A disappointing end to this already disappointing life.

You're one more person to believe less in.
Watch as it all falls apart again.

Someday I'll make an honest attempt to fix this,
and someday maybe we'll be able to leave all this behind.
If I try to keep my head above the water.
If I try any harder.
We're only sinking faster into the flood.
