lyrics

so i'm not in the mood to blog right now, but i will post some lyrics that i've found incredibly intriguing and that i am able to relate with. you can do your own interpretation.

and they're all from underoath, because they are incredible.

Lyrics to You're Ever So Inviting :
The time has come for you
To sit this one out
To fit inside your mold
Would be to sell myself short

This ground we tread upon
Is now filling up to our necks
We turn the pages left to right
We see everything

Oh, my story’s growing, it is
On my last request
Don’t make me feel so contradicting
There’s no room for cheating and being yourself
Failure leaves such a bitter taster in their mouth

And on the last hour
We write so many new chapters again
And on the outside
Where there are no surprises

Oh, it’s getting longer
To see it through their eyes
Would bring me so much closer
You can do this night after night
Failure leaves such a bitter taster in my mouth

Taste and see, I swear I know what’s good
Be still and know that they won’t lie to you every
Single time you’re facing lies
I know why you never take your eyes off me
I’ve used my lungs for everything but breathing

I find myself dried up in this conversation
So pull me out, pull me aside

-------------------------------------------


Lyrics to In Regards To Myself :
Wake up! Wake up! My God!
This is not a test!
And it's not too late to come clean
Get it off your chest
So steady your hand before your face and concentrate
There's got to be some stable ground
Left to walk on

So tear another page from the book
Are you asleep or just alone?
Clear this room from your lungs

Pull yourself together
Pull yourself together, man
Pull yourself together
Pull yourself together

On your back,
You're sleeping in a bed of shame
Let the light breathe some new life into this room
It's what keeps you coming back
Made up of insatiable taste
Bury your head in your hands
And sing into yourself

Oh!

Just what are you so afraid of?
What are you so afraid of?
You're staring truth in the face
So come on down
What are you so afraid of?

You're busy living now, aren't you?
You're busy making vows
You're coming unglued

Time is shorter than you know
I know the light is blinding to the naked eye
So why don't you take steps away from being alone?
I swear, it's not too late for you

It's all worth reaching for
It's all worth reaching for
It's all worth reaching for
The hand to pull you out
It's all worth reaching for
The hand to pull you out

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
And step outside your box
Wake up!

-------------------------------------------


Lyrics to There Could Be Nothing After This :
In the end we tend to think of how it began
I could never explain the picture it painted, and how it made me feel
Now the ceiling is in motion
The light centered and overlooked
You want to see me disappear? Well, so do I

Such a quiet evaporation

We’re nothing but hollow vessels in search of what makes us alive
I never said this was my revolution when you looked me in the eye
Oh, how I’ve walked this white line so many times before
What a feeble attempt just to feel alive

This is for you and your hopeless case
You would never leave me in your wish to fail every time
Every time I try

So talk about it
At least it makes you feel something inside

Who have I become
Oh God, everything all around me is crumbling at my feet

I stare so delicate and ashamed
At the shell I’ve shed myself from

In the eyes of my ghost
And I will never look back again

-------------------------------------------


Lyrics to It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door :
I've been up at this all night long
I've been drowning in my sleep
I've prayed for your safe place
And it's time for us to leave

Time is running on empty and the gas is running out
I've decided that tonight is the night
That I set love aside
Full speed ahdead this seems to be the place
I've seen this once before
Planned perfection sought in my dreams
Hoping this would take you home

My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
So kiss me one last time

Around this turn where the cross will cast your shadow
The people will all gather
To remember such a day where the flames grew as high
As trees
And the world stopped for you and me

My knuckles have turned white
There's no turning back tonight
So hold on tight
Kiss me one last time
Shut your eyes

I will now bring new meaning to the word alone
Endless nights of dreaming of life
And the days we should have spent here

Drowning in my sleep I'm drowning in my sleep

Glass shatters and comes to a halt
I thought we'd be there by now
I thought it would be so much quicker than this

Pain has never been so brilliant
I made sure you were buckled in
Now you can walk hand in hand with him

-----------------------------
Lyrics to Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape :
I heard a voice through the dischord
of a deluge of passers-by.
I saw one gaze frozen in time
watching me passing by.
I swear I'll know your face in the crowd,
and I'll hear your voice so loud
when you're whispering...

Hey unfaithful I will teach you
to be stronger, to be stronger.
Hey ungraceful I will teach you
to fogive one another.

Here's my kiss to betray
desperate to brush the lips of grace.
Do you feel hollow when you think of how I've lied?

Oh sweet angel of mercy with your grace like the morning
wrap your loving arms around me.
Oh sweet angel of mercy with your grace like the morning
wrap your loving arms around me.

Hey unfaithful I will teach you
to be stronger, to be stronger.
Hey ungraceful I will teach you
to forgive one another.
Hey unfaithful I will teach you
to be stronger, to be stronger.

Hey unloving

I will love you
I will love you
I will love you.

Jesus I'm ready to come home
