Only See You at Your Best Lyrics

Skipped a step from apprentice to ascendance

Drown in ocean or die from the bends

Still on mend from my creation

Maintenance killing me and I can not pretend

Lent on a substance to wash my intent

Watch my pretence of copy cat greatness

See reflection of my eyes, never blinking

In the dark. I want in

Only see you at your best, while I'm at my worst

Nice heart, what its worth

Only see you at your best, while I'm at my worst

Nice heart, what's it worth?

Only see you at your best, while I'm at my worst

Nice heart, what its worth

Crawling back to quiet places

Plaster and salt

And I can still feel the vibrations

Rats in the walls

I try my best to stay wasted

A virtue that I've been wasting

A quiet life spent pacing

A warm heart, scared racing

This dudes got charcoal on the page

Face not giving his age

Eyes keep darting to the lathes

Turn that bone, the next page

Chipping away at a mere existence

Old block lit in cheap gasoline

Another glimpse at chance to achieve

Look at me, look at me

Fuck you, fuck everybody

Fuck you and everybody

That's what I see

That's what I need, so I've heard

I hear desperation in every word

Coded optimism, each day is a verb

Born with a blood lust? Nah, it's learned

Old soul with his head high, watch the plan burn

I want a sense of purpose, not control

I look the part but can't play the role

Only see you at your best, while I'm at my worst

Nice heart, what its worth

Only see you at your best, while I'm at my worst

Nice heart, what's it worth?

Only see you at your best, while I'm at my worst

Nice heart, what its worth

Only see you at your best, while I'm at my worst
