The Best Will Come
from Portraits by Timothy Armstrong
lyrics
The Best Will Come
You can always tell who's travelled far
The way they limp around like wounded fauna
Always tends to make a lantern of us
Everyday we’re sure the sun will show
But how much do we really think we know
You can bet your broken arrow
We’ll hit the target
Have I done enough to warrant your trust
Honest I promise you that
The miser might have more
But the patient are sure I promise
The best will come
Fiction is the lie wed love too live but
It fixes us a meal that will never fill us
Even if the eye is narrow
We will insist that the animal fits
I'm so unsure of the fact
That there might be more for those who lack
All I do is hoard gather store and stack
Till the quivers full still the bows intact
Are you content with the life you think your meant to live
We all contend with the concept
What we try to mend might not be broken
Broken bow and arrows spent
You can always tell who's travelled far
The way they limp around like wounded fauna
Always tends to make a lantern of us
Everyday we’re sure the sun will show
But how much do we really think we know
You can bet your broken arrow
We’ll hit the target
Have I done enough to warrant your trust
Honest I promise you that
The miser might have more
But the patient are sure I promise
The best will come
Fiction is the lie wed love too live but
It fixes us a meal that will never fill us
Even if the eye is narrow
We will insist that the animal fits
I'm so unsure of the fact
That there might be more for those who lack
All I do is hoard gather store and stack
Till the quivers full still the bows intact
Are you content with the life you think your meant to live
We all contend with the concept
What we try to mend might not be broken
Broken bow and arrows spent
