Best Things

Best Things - The Plastic Constellations

Thirty miles below the face of the earth

The seconds tick with the crack of the whip

We never should have been so eager to embrace this abyss

Sometimes the sea tends to rumble and we're forced to abandon our ships

Feel the swelling of retreat as the autumn resists

Blood coming out time is running out

Dragged down by the dayshift

When you're dealing with defeat you know you gotta be patient

The time comes when you face it and get back to basics

This ice age is a waste pit

We tried to wipe it out but it's becoming contagious

The time comes when you face it and get back to basics

You gotta never give it up

I never said I wasn't ready for the end

I just refuse to be buried like this

I guess I'd rather be judged by twelve than carried by six

Sometimes the land tends to crumble and we're forced to crawl on our fists

The belly of the beast is a bottomless pit

Blood coming out time is running out

Dragged down by the dayshift

When you're dealing with defeat you know you gotta be patient

The time comes when you face it and get back to basics

This ice age is a waste pit

We tried to wipe it out but it's becoming contagious

The time comes when you face it and get back to basics

You gotta never give it up

So here's the story or so I'm told

It starts weary but finishes bold

They'll never respect you if you fold

So here's the story or so I'm told

It starts out warm but finishes cold

They'll never respect you if you fold

From the incisions to the drawn out operations

From the head on collisions to the ongoing complications

Now I'm not saying premonition leads to devastation

We just get held up in the hesitation

But count your blessings

Sometimes the best things come from out of desperation

We've run from the water we've hid from the wind

We've plunged from the slaughter and lived from within

And I don't care if it sounds threatening I swear I'm not settling

We've run from the water we've hid from the wind

We've plunged from the slaughter and lived from within

And I don't care if it sounds threatening I swear I'm not settling

I swear I'm not settling
