Collision.Survive Lyrics
[Verse 1]
One single mistake has resulted in my body
Breaking through the windshield
My eyes are open and it feels like the first time
I've ever seen the earth for what it could it be
No promise to wake in the morning
How many seconds have I wasted and thrown away?
Every minute is a chance to be the person that you want to believe exists inside of the mess you've created
[Chorus]
Because I think I need you to understand
This collision survive was my second chance
Awaking to this hospital bed
I exhale with closing eyes and thank god I'm alive
[Verse 2]
Crimson blood stains my hands
Don't know who's alive or dead
I remember the worst from the night
From the scar that was ripped into my face
I swear on my life, I'll never forget this night
[Chorus]
Because I think I need you to understand
This collision survive was my second chance
Awaking to this hospital bed
I exhale with closing eyes and thank god I'm alive
[Bridge]
I see ambulance lights flash and sing
A song far too honest with me
God, hear my voice one more time
I'm the broken bone that needs to mend and become whole
Hear my voice one more time
Never again, never again will I sleep in the ground
My hands are extending so reach in and pull me out
[Chorus]
Because I think I need you to understand
This collision survive was my second chance
Awaking to this hospital bed
I exhale with closing eyes and thank god I'm alive
[Outro]
I inhale with brand new lungs
I inhale, I inhale with brand new lungs
Surviving this collision
What It Means to Be Defeated Lyrics
[Intro]
So they read the news today, you had vanished without a trace
And you lacked the spine to turn your back and say goodbye
[Verse 1]
Now you’re just a ghost that occupies my thoughts, my every move
All mountains for me to move
So I tell myself I’ll be just fine
All these excuses lead me to a sun never rising again
You were not someone I knew, just someone I learned to see through
[Chorus]
You were lying when you said we'd be permanent
When did I become the one to give up?
[Verse 2]
When did I become a transition to the next one?
Maybe this won’t need to be repeated
Maybe it’s to show me what it means to be defeated
Wasn’t it enough to trade your bed for lust and tear me limb from limb?
[Chorus]
You were lying when you said we'd be permanent
When did I become the one to give up?
[Bridge]
Hopeless heart, held inside of a desperate soul
Smile while you’re stabbing me in the back again
Precious knife held inside of a man who waits to die
Could you send from my skin and show me one person I can put my trust in?
Bring me the sun, wake me up from my dreams of giving up now
I want to believe there’s permanence in me
[Chorus]
You were lying when you said we'd be permanent
When did I become the one to give up?
[Outro]
Oh, oh
When did I become the one to give up on?
Resurrect Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is not my bed to rest, in the dirt, with no beat hailing from my chest
Resurrect me and bring color back to my eyes
Dying, pale-faced, sickened friend of mine, speak with me, for the last time
Dead man, show me where you rest your head, so I know not to follow any trace of your footsteps
Gravedigger, I watched you take a breath, and as the color left your face, the earth became your bed
[Chorus]
This is the end, of your existence, but my own fate, lies in the palm of my hands
So every breath, moves with steps, to keep you far from me
[Verse 2]
There’s no escaping the truth
There’s no coming back for you
I feel death’s hands wrapped around my neck
But dear god, I want to live instead
[Chorus]
This is the end, of your existence, but my own fate, lies in the palm of my hands
So every breath, moves with steps, to keep you far from me
[Bridge]
Only I will watch my veins run dry, and give out
Are we alone in life? Or only when we die?
Maybe with death will come a light, to be spread over the sky and bring the end of something beautiful
Maybe my life is meant to chase, a god without a face, to build me as I’m meant to be
Oceans flood my, bruised and red eyes, as I awake and see the sun
Maybe with death will come a light to be spread over the sky
[Outro]
Dark sky
The Quiet Disconnect Lyrics
[Intro]
Unfamiliar stone of gray marked beginning and end of day
Reality sinks like an anchor in water
[Verse 1]
My body can't stop shaking, convulsing
This is tragic and sickening
This is The Quiet Disconnect
No father should ever have to bury his son
Every breath exhaled leads me closer
But I'm starting to panic
Because I am finding it hard to grasp and comprehend that no ink could spill from this pen
And meet the words to send, to tell you I can't exist if you're non-existent
[Chorus]
Find your home in the sky to rest your soul
Even if your voice won't move past your lips, I know we'll speak again
And though I know you've died, I swear to god to try to keep your memory alive
[Bridge]
We all flirt with death but feel like were invincible
Until one moment defines that we could be the next
We all flirt with death but feel like were invincible
Until one moment defines that we could be the next
[Breakdown]
Is there a point in drifting through life when everything I love will pass, decay, and die?
Everything I love will pass, decay, and die?
Everything will pass, decay, and die?
Everything will pass, decay, and die?
[Chorus]
Find your home in the sky to rest your soul
Even if your voice won't move past your lips, I know we'll speak again
And though I know you've died, I swear to god to try to keep your memory alive
[Bridge]
To keep you alive
My face is the pale-white of your skin
My lungs have no breath to be held from within
I just want to know you’re safe and sound
Not just a body beneath the ground
Oh god, I fear certain death and the end of day
But what I fear the most is who you're going to take away
If there has to be a beginning, then I want you to show me the end
[Breakdown]
Show me the end
[Outro]
Fire spreads but I won't let it burn this bridge
To give them life when my friends are dead
To give them life when my friends are dead
