I've Got Ten Friends And a Crowbar That Says You Won't Do Jack

Underoath · Anthology 1999-2013 [2012]

Carry out the sounds

past the west horizons

I'm standing still, I'm standing still

why I parted all the change

no body indured

well I'm walking out , I'm walking out

What do you expect of me?



Did you think that this was all an excuse for hospitality?

I know you think its all because of me

at first glance, im breathing

leaving myself no room to move, at all

my mind is so flooded and im drunk with regret

swimming in a sea of hope tonight

I find your energy sequenced mine

as we push away with everything we have



[Chorus]

Ohhh their acting on my words

we can start the fire, that will light up the night

no i wouldn't be to sure of you at all

we'll watch it burn together on respective sides

yeah!!

we look so good, as we fall



I'll go ahead and re-elect perfections

it's never looked as good as it does on you right now

i'll go ahead and make an incision

doubt you'll feel anything at all

I dont think I'm right for a side and i am nervous

at least i can say i made it out this time

I just might, but you wont let me

as for you be sure to cover up, to cover up your mouth



[Chorus] x2



I dont know how to say this

my thoughts have just run out
