The Plastic Constellations - Best Things lyrics

[Aaron] 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 [Aaron & Jeff] Blood coming out, time is running out [Hook: Aaron (Jeff)] Dragged down by the dayshift When you're dealing with defeat you know you gotta be patient (You gotta never give it up) The time comes when you face it and get back to basics (You gotta never give it up) 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) [Aaron] 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 [Aaron & Jeff] Blood coming out, time is running out [Hook: Aaron (Jeff)] Dragged down by the dayshift When you're dealing with defeat you know you gotta be patient (You gotta never give it up) The time comes when you face it and get back to basics (You gotta never give it up) 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) [Jeff] 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 [Aaron] 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
