Perfect Driftwood Lyrics by Free Throw

What’s Past is Prologue

2019

[Verse 1]
There's nothing worse than being told that what you have is worthless
It makes you feel like everything you've done is without certainty
Call forth the first mate
Tell them that the sails have been set the wrong way
[Bridge]
Blame always falls on somebody else, other than the person that set the sails
It's an age-old mistake
(It's an age-old mistake)
It's an age-old mistake
[Verse 2]
Sometimes you have to question the fact that decisions you made
Were never destined to be the right one
A situation tighter than the ropes that you cling to life from
Though drowning's a means to escape
[Bridge]
You still refuse to taper off into anything that's too much for you to handle
Life spent on a gamble
I'll tell you right now, light a candle in our name
If the ship goes down, we'll celebrate the same
[Chorus]
Where was doubt when all of this was nothing more than bullshit?
Where was fear when all of this was nothing more than fun?
We fought our way for nothing to making just the best of it
We've scratched and clawed at relevance to do what we have done
It's okay to admit that we have done better than what they thought that we could scrape up
It's a shame to think that even though "the best" is a subjective term, people hold you to a standard without understanding
It's fucked
[Bridge]
I'll tell you right now, light a candle in my name
If the ship goes down, I'll celebrate the same
[Chorus]
Where was doubt when all of this was nothing more than bullshit?
Where was fear when all of this was nothing more than fun?
We fought our way for nothing, to making just the best of it
We've scratched and clawed to relevance to do what we have done
It's a shame to think that even though "the best" is subjective, you're held to a standard without understanding
It's a shame to think that even though "the best" is subjective, you're held to a standard without understanding
It's fucked
