August Burns Red
EP • 2009
Living in a world of regrets You never wanted this and you never will Living in a world of regrets You never wanted this and you never will Watching your mirror image, drowning in a lake of your own sorrows, your own sorrows But we will pray, that you will pray, you will look toward the skies Look toward the skies, which covers you, like blankets, and see His open arms Look toward the skies Look toward the skies You claim, you claim you were built to fall You were never strong enough You claim, you claim you were built to fall You were never strong enough Heroin has no healing to this unfortunate tragedy Don't stray from what you've become now, to who you were then With a needle in your arm Now affection has abandoned you, can you still feel Now affection has abandoned you, can you still feel Hold on! Hold on, don't you die Hold on, don't you die on me Living in a world of regrets you never wanted this and you never will You claim you were built to fall, you were never strong enough You claim you were built to fall, you were never strong enough Save yourself You claim, you claim you were built to fall, you were never strong enough You claim, you claim you were built to fall, you were never strong enough

It all happened so fast Speeding off into the distance That night I wish you could have taken control To steer clear from your last breath (Your last breath) Such a short 18 years To steer clear from your last breath (Your last breath) Such a short 18 years Oxygen is escaping Your fate is embracing Oxygen is escaping Your fate is embracing This road tells a story of a life cut short This road tells a story of a life cut short Sirens are the sound that I hear in the back of my mind You leaving this world left us falling apart limb by limb Never getting over the loss of a loved one Of a loved one That morning we all stood mourning, coming to terms with this reality I believed the world stopped spinning I believed the world stopped spinning To steer clear from your last breath (Your last breath) Such a short 18 years To steer clear from your last breath (Your last breath) Such a short 18 years, now gone (Now gone) I wish you could see me now (See me mow) You'd be so proud, my dearest friend I'll see you again, my dearest friend

Allow what's done to preach new insight to your life Hindsight is perfect vision The past is easiest to see Clear a path Stand aside We're carrying the torch now. Clear a path Stand aside There's no stopping us Clear a path Stand aside We're carrying the torch now Clear a path Stand aside There's no stopping us You might think you're everything to everyone Go ahead Partake in it Justify it Become engulfed in it It will eat you alive This is not a one way road You're headed for the dead end. You might think you're everything to everyone Well pardon me if I intrude You might think you,re everything to everyone You're not a perfect man in a perfect world Look at where your ignorance has brought you All this will be buried Like the fall of Rome You will come crashing down The truth hurts, but denial's what will kill you. All that you loved, all that you treasure, will pass with time Blinded by the inability to see beyond flesh and blood. Shifting blame with a log in your eye Insisting that a string tied to your limbs is what's to blame Suck it up and bite the bullet

This building barley standing on its own foundation. I've collapsed its lungs, calloused its heart sucked the life out of this, for all of Sunday to see. I've collapsed its lungs, calloused its heart sucked the life out of this, for all of Sunday to see. Every little thing they believe, they believe I've taken the breath out of everything they stand for Everything they hold true Preaching to the deaf and blind, no one sees my effort Preaching to the deaf and blind, no one gets the point No one sees my effort, no one gets the point Welcome to my dying home Welcome inside these crumbling walls A meaningless handshake greets them all with smiles of false hope Welcome to my dying home Welcome inside these crumbling walls A meaningless handshake greets them all with smiles of false hope Do I even care as I watch a sea of people dwindling into an audience of skin and bones -- an audience who doesn't have the strength to walk out on a man who has tarnished their faith? I've collapsed its lungs, calloused its heart sucked the life out of this, for all of Sunday to see. I've collapsed its lungs, calloused its heart sucked the life out of this, for all of Sunday to see. Preaching to the deaf and blind, no one sees my effort Preaching to the deaf and blind, no one gets the point
