By Design Lyrics
Time heals all wounds they say but the self-inflicted won't just fade away - And in these shifting tides of blame why are you surprised to see your name? It's such a drag, time got the best of you, things you gave you say were taken, explanation piled over excuse.
And so the story goes
But by your own design
And if you look to me to find you
Then my eyes will pass right through
Believe me I had wished, we could have avoided this. Please don't ask me to explain all the things that caused your pain - I only want you to realize, passivity equals compliance - let it slip right through your hands, become the victim of other's demands.
And so the story goes
But by your own design
And if you look to me to find you
Then my eyes will pass right through

"And so the story goes But by your own design And if you look to me to find you Then my eyes will pass right through"
One of the most inspirational and beautiful lines in an emo song. Rites of Spring are quite great, some of my favorite songs, but Moss Icon has proven to me to be the better band.
