The Lies They Tell Us

from Golden Hills EP by Red Light Overtime

lyrics

Careful now it's open season,
there's a ban here on succeeding,
all the signs i keep misreading
point me in the same direction
Open road is what i'm needing,
There's a tax on what we're breathing,
we all say we'll soon be leaving
as we look to our feet
Chorus:
Dont you know the best succeed and all else fail,
So don't be greedy take what you're dealt
Cause you dont need the life you've dreamed
You don't need the life you've dreamed
Verse 2:
They say you only get one shot but i've
already emptied half a dozen clips,
Be patient for your chance but all i've
seen is wasted opportunity
Give it all you've got and now you've given
all your stuff away for free
So dig that grave and dig it deep and
they said dream when you're asleep
Chorus:
Dont you know the best succeed and all else fail,
So don't be greedy take what you're dealt
Cause you dont need the life you've dreamed
You don't need the life you've dreamed
Interlude:
I took a step across that line,
ran away to get outside and there's
no limit to the things that can be
mine if I try
If you've given up on reaching
then its far too late for teaching
just go buy into their preaching
safety by conformity
