Everything is on Purpose

from Rock Bottom by Chain Link Stains

lyrics

Everything Is On Purpose

They say that it all happens for a reason.
They say every birth is clockwork in the hands of true design.
And every death is just the cycle of the seasons.
While we have to hammer away to create the only silver lining

I knock them down until there’s no more left. The days fall off the calendar.
The first to get to number two and two to three in pursuit of my future.
I run into strangers once when I could've passed them by but...I get it right the second time.
One time I looked into the eyes of a girl who could have changed my life
And I forgot my fucking lines.

Socially gone. Insulated, overdrawn, my social graces string me along.
I barely make it. Every time.

Make a move! Kill the frills, distill the truth.
It shines through. Wasting time is self-abuse.

“Everything’s on purpose.”
They try to say “everything’s on purpose.”
They try to say “yeah, there’s a hand behind this,
and yeah it’s on your side but, well,
sometimes it don’t seem like it.”
They try to say “Yeah you know everything’s on purpose.”
They try to say “everything’s on purpose.”
They try to say “yeah there’s a hand behind this, and well,
if it made you feel worthless, yeah, you probably deserved it.”

Where will we be? Where will we be when the earth stops spinning?
If we’re lucky, en route to our next big mistake.
Where will you be? Where will you be when your world stops spinning?
Out on your own, out on your own.
