Rescue & Restore by August Burns Red - Album Lyrics & Tracks

[Chorus]

Staring at the walls to pass the time

(Pinch myself; make sure I'm still alive!)

I'm not alright, it's become a disguise

(Friends and family, I'm losing ties!)

Staring at the walls to pass the time

(Pinch myself; make sure I'm still alive!)

I've been here before, I will survive

(Another month under gray skies!)

(Another month under these gray skies!)

 

[Verse 1]

I'm holding on as tight as I can

The monotony never seems to end

Every day feels the same

Every day I think about the place I'd rather be than here

I've been here before, I will survive

Another month under these grey skies

I've been here before, I will survive

Another month under these grey skies

 

[Verse 2]

We've carried each other through and over the seas, (Overseas)

We live for nights like this

The ones we won't forget, forever remember

We live for nights like this

The ones we won't forget, forever remember

I hope to open my eyes to see this picture

I'm throwing it all away

I hope to open my eyes

To see this moment that I should treasure forever

 

 

[Chorus]

Staring at the walls to pass the time

(Pinch myself; make sure I'm still alive!)

I'm not alright, it's become a disguise

(Friends and family, I'm losing ties!)

I'm holding on as tight as I can

(Coming home, I don't know when!)

I'm holding on as tight as I can, I swear (I swear)

 

[Spoken Word]

My dearest love, I woke up tired today

Even more so than yesterday

How that's possible? I don't even know, nor do I want to

It's hard to find the motivation when you are this drained

My body aches but I'm used to feeling this way

Seventeen down, seventeen to go

That's not so bad, right?

I think of home often and of you even more

Yesterday I saw the sun shining

It appeared for a few minutes just after two

For a moment I found myself smiling

As if those short rays of light were enough to get me by

Maybe that was enough

Thank God, I needed that

 

[Outro]

For a moment I found myself smiling

As if those short rays of light were enough to get me by

Maybe that was enough

Thank God, I surely needed that

I surely needed that

Thank God, I surely needed that

7 ContributorsCount It All as Lost Lyrics“Count It All As Lost” is the 4th track from August Burn Red’s sixth album Rescue & Restore.

 

This song is about Paul and the letters (Epistles) he wrote to various churches that appear in NT. “It took me… Read More I want to believe these words are more than letters to me

I want to believe, a covenant to stand the battlefield of time

Many times I've written words, holding me to stay pure

Where is the truth in these motions

Afterwards feeling motionless?

Motionless

 

I keep breaking my promises

I keep breaking my word to You and I

I keep breaking my promises

Once again, I'm letting You down

 

How must a broken man fix his brokenness, if he's not the answer?

I can't do this on my own (On my own)

I need You here (Here)

I need You here (Here)

I need You here

 

Each and every day that passes leaves me worse off than before

Many times I've sworn, I wouldn't look back, Never look back

 

Instead of fighting to be a man

I just want to know who I am

Fighting with my fists, leaves me bloody and broken

Almost every single time

So I'm going at it with Your strength instead of mine

Please be my strength

So I'm going at it with Your strength instead of mine

Please be my strength

 

 

I need You here

I need You here

 

I've carried this burden long enough

With a heart of conviction, I've betrayed us both

I have to forfeit

The shame is too much to take

Take the lead and reign over me

Reign, reign, reign over me

Reign, reign, reign over me

 

You know You'd find me here (Find me here)

It took me losing sight to count it all as lost (All as lost)

To see that I'm finally found

Count it all as lost

There's so much more to gain

Count it all as lost

Take the lead and reign over me

[Verse 1]

There is beauty, in tragedy

The heart will stop beating

But the end is a new beginning

We'll soar above the skyline of reality

And reach towards a love ever after

As we're grasping onto faith

To keep us breathing, a little longer, a little longer

For just one moment, with one another, with one another

This night is pulling on my heart's strings

 

[Hook]

These feelings bring tears to my eyes!

To see you leave my world, leave my side!

Hear the angels sing!

As they embrace you with a warm; "Welcome home!"

With a warm "Welcome home!"

Hear the angels sing!

Hear the angels sing!

 

[Spoken Word]

Tomorrow, the air will be a little colder

But I'll be sure to breathe for the both of us

And the nights, may be a little darker

But I'll be sure to carry the torch to warm the hearts

That never got to feel yours

I can't hear your voice, I can't hear your voice

But that's okay, cause I can feel you in my heart

I can't hear your voice, I can't hear your voice

But that's okay, cause I can feel you in my heart

 

 

[Verse 2]

One morning I'll wake up to you

One morning I'll hear the angels sing

On that morning, we won't be worried about the weather

Nor will we, mind, where the hands lay, on the clock tower

 

[Hook]

I'll be sure to write your name in the sand

Where the waves can't wash it away

I'll be sure to write your name in the sand

Where the waves can't wash it away

 

[Verse 3]

Until then, I'll walk

Until then, I'll breathe in your name

Never surrender, the dream you had for this world, to love, to forgive, to make something out of, nothing!

 

[Outro]

I will feel you, I will hear you, forever!

5 ContributorsThe First Step Lyrics“The First Step” is the 11th & last track from August Burn Red’s sixth album Rescue & Restore.Without competition there is no progression

Society won't wait for statues to break free of their brass case

Carry the point, be the focus, notice the inevitable

Times make changes, humanity makes mistakes

Mistakes make answers, we live to learn

 

We live to learn, we live to love, we live to die

Learn to question why

We live to learn, we live to love, we live to die

Learn to question why

Why? We're so scared to take the first step

Why? We are so scared

 

The ground you walk on isn't a straight line

And neither are the toils of life

Standing still, just to watch it pass you by

To watch the world pass you by

 

We are pushing for change, waiting for the world to take notice

Breaking down barriers, as we strive for a better way

With determination we'll march on in protest

With determination we'll see this through

Evolve or die, move on or drown

Evolve or die, move on or drown (Drown)

 

Evolve or die

Move on or drown (Or drown)

 

 

History's greatest generation will be removed by the Earth's most advanced

Your battles will become our peace

Your lies shall become our truth

We will replace the old guard with the new

Your battles will become our peace

Your lies shall become our truth

Your battles will become our peace

Your lies will become our truth

 

Without competition, there is no progression

Society won't wait for statues to break free of their brass case

Evolve or die
