We Weren't Built to Last - FFM

There are times when you can beckon, There are times when you must call. You can take a lot of reckoning, But you can't take it all. There are times when I can help you out, And times when you must fall. There are times when you must live in doubt And I can't help at all. Three blue stars rise on the hill Say no more now just be still All these trials soon be past Look for something built to last A wind held by the collar, Yes, a cloud held by the breeze You can walk on coals of fire But sometimes you must freeze There are times when you offend me And I do the same to you If we can't or won't forget it I guess we could be through One blue star sets on the hill Call it back you never will One more star sinks in the past Show me something built to last Built to last till time itself falls tumbling from the wall Built to last till sunshine fails and darkness moves on all Built to last while years roll past like cloudscapes in the sky Show me something built to last and something built to try There are times when you get hit upon Try hard but you can't give Other times you'd gladly part With what you need to live Don't waste your breath to save your face When you have done your best And even more is asked of you Fate will decide the rest All the stars are gone but one Morning breaks here comes the sun Cross the sky now sinking fast Show me something built to last

I was built to last with the webs I'm weaving I can change the past with all I'm achieving Got my foot on gas, never stop competing If you break like glass then this life's gonna eat 'em I wanna be the best in the game, invest in my name Check no restraints, I'm obsessed with the pain I ingest, I retain, assess and I change Possessed by the thought I'll be free one day From society's restraints, money clout and fame A disease a plague, we all love to hate Have to play the game, have to make a name All our insecurities are on display This is war with the enemy Think that it was meant to be Living in a time where disease is on every screen I won't let them fester me I know most are festering Negativity is a plague for the mentally weak!

Freedom is priceless! Spread just like a virus Living in a crisis Do you feel courageous? Do you seek greatness? Trust me you can take it Go on and take your aim, man! I was built to last with the webs I'm weaving I can change the past with all I'm achieving Got my foot on gas, never stop competing If you break like glass then this life's gonna eat 'em Make mistakes real fast, then you learn how to beat 'em If you take off the cast, you can see all the healing If the pain's in the past, move on from the grieving Put your foot on the gas, no never stop competing, yeah (I was built to last with the webs I'm weaving) (I can change the past with all I'm achieving) (Got my foot on gas, never stop competing) (If you break like glass, then this life's gonna eat 'em)

Shadows on the walls Underneath the concrete highways Hiding in the open Run from the hopeless, broken truth (Stay alive) Climbing up the walls High enough to hear their calls Stare into the void Flippin' the switch, time to destroy Hold in your breath and count to ten Dancing with death and innocence Don't run from darkness anymore Command the light 'Cause you gotta stay alive Run and burn to survive If you gotta choose to live or die Choose to stay alive You gotta stay alive Stay alive Try to stay alive Try to stay alive Gotta get out Walk into the wild to survive You gotta get out Try to stay alive
