Sunburnt
Underoath · Anthology 1999-2013 [2012]
HOLD THE TORCH WHILE YOU CAN
DONT FADE AWAY
BURN OUT BRIGHT
HOLD THE TORCH WHILE YOU CAN
DONT FADE
I saw you pointing the finger
it can't be getting CLEARER
FADE, OUT
well if I have to spend it for you
I guess I'll be your little MARYTR
FADE, OUT, FADE
we've all been down this road a time or two
and I swear I thought I was never coming home
Patience I know it's hard enough for you
we can't stand together
Patience I know it's hard enough for you
we can't stand together
I come up empty handed
the ground is falling right where I'm shrinking
FADE, OUT
I'm just away in the dark
they all talk about the day I fell apart
FADE, OUT, FADE
we've all been down this road a time or two
and I swear I thought I was never coming home
Patience I know it's hard enough for you
we can't stand together
Patience I know it's hard enough for you
we can't stand together
I stand before the crowd broken
I was once of this
I will never let them in, no
won't let them intensify
and I never took my time while I was there
I never took the time
Patience I know it's hard enough for you
we can't stand together
Patience I know it's hard enough for you
we can't stand together
I never thought I'd see the end
I never thought I'd see you
