Constellations by August Burns Red - Album Lyrics & Tracks

9 ContributorsThirty and Seven Lyrics“Thirty & Seven” is the opening track from August Burn Red’s third album Constellations.You are infatuated, with what consumes you

Put the victim on the front lines and left for dead

Stop acting like there's no

No other option but to let the waves carry you away

Can you hold the water responsible for your wayward behavior

Any more than it blames you for its gripping currents?

Erase the proof, erase the proof but your shame will remain

Your shame will remain (Will remain)

Your shame will remain

Your shame will remain

 

Your mind is the mountain before you

 

Will you always need someone to hold your hand

And talk, talk you through, you through the night's shadows?

It's so much easier to fight this war when you're the last in line

When you're the last in line

 

Can you hold the water

Can you hold the water responsible for your wayward behavior

Any more than it blames you for its gripping currents?

What will you become? What will become of you?

What will you become? What will become of you?

Your mind is the mountain before you

 

You've reached the summit, now transcend the skies

You've reached the summit, now transcend the skies

[Verse 1]

Push your controlling values aside, and dissect your own life

It's not about my beliefs

It's about personal choice

It breaks your heart to see me consume

But it shatters mine to see people follow you

Ask me to be blameless

 

[Hook]

You ask me to be blameless, you ask me to be blameless

But who are you to decide what's right?

Don't say another word

Don't say another word, you've crossed the line!

Don't say another word, you've crossed the line!

Don't say another word, you've crossed the line!

Don't say another word, you've crossed the line!

Let's go!

 

[Verse 2]

I won't hesitate to put you in your place

You are the straw that's crushing my back

You ask me to be blameless, you ask me to be blameless

But who are you to decide what's right?

Don't say another word

 

[Bridge]

However, I thank you for this pen and ink ammunition

Thank you for the inspiration

 

 

[Breakdown/Outro]

You're the straw that's crushing my back

You are the salt that's burning my wounds

You're the straw that's crushing my back

You are the salt that's burning my wounds

You're the straw that's crushing my back

You are the salt that's burning my wounds

[Jeremiah 31:2]

I will build you up again and you will be rebuilt. [Jeremiah 31:4]

I am the painter making this mess a masterpiece

I will rebuild you up again

8 ContributorsRationalist Lyrics“Rationalist” is the 10th track from August Burn Red’s third album Constellations.See yourself to the exit

We can't afford to watch you resort to this (resort to this)

Even hope hides in the shadows

Nothing is real, color is black, is white, is color blind

Tucking away what's true, what's tangible

Nothing is real, color is black, is white, is color blind

Tucking away what's true, what's tangible

 

You're crashing faster

And there won't be pieces to piece back together this time

Can't you see you're ringing? You're ringing out

 

This is dissonance. This is dissonance

It's in the quiet of this place, (This is dissonance)

That all things come to life, (This is dissonance)

 

All that is real is blurred by your notion of reality

All that is real is blurred by your notion of reality

Nothing is real, color is black, is white, is color blind

Tucking away what's true, what's tangible

Nothing is real, color is black, is white, is color blind

Tucking away what's true, what's tangible

 

You skeptic, you

You believe in unbelief

You skeptic, you

Now you're the hypocrite

You can't hide from this

You can't hide from, you can't hide from this

You can't hide from this

7 ContributorsCrusades Lyrics“Crusades” is the 12th & closing track from August Burn Red’s third album Constellations.I used to be so young and invincible

The mistakes of my youth are finally catching up to me

The face that stares back in the mirror

Should carry nothing but pride

As the days go by, it's getting harder to hold my head up high

 

I've never been so tired, I've never felt so weak

But I swear to you, I swear to you that I'm not giving up

Never been so tired, never felt so weak

My storied life is coming to a graceful descent. Descend

I've seen peace end and battles begin

I've seen peace end and battles begin (Go)

 

I won't forget the lives I touched

I won't forget the life I know (Life)

As the days go by, it's getting harder to hold my head up high

As the days go by, it's getting harder to hold my head up high

(No, oh)

 

I used to think I'd last forever

I used to think I'd last forever

I used to think I'd last forever

I used to think I'd last forever

Forever

 

 

Now, I'm praying for the light to just carry me away

I'm praying for the light to just carry me away

 

Say goodnight (Say goodnight)

Say goodbye (Say goodbye)

This is my time to be with my Lord
