I've Got Ten Friends And a Crowbar That Says You Won't Do Jack
Underoath · Anthology 1999-2013 [2012]
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
