Underoath
Album • 2008
I''m the desperate And you''re the savior There''s been something else Talkin'' in my ear Someone save me When I Speak It begins to decay I''m not about to bury myself Oh, God! My hands are shaking again Calm down! Now I can''t feel the floor And my vision takes it''s toll on me Oh, God! It''s racing through my veins I''m afraid there must be some kinda mistake Oh, I''m in over my head again reach in and grab a hold of me I''m so scared that I''ve started to slip They say that I''ll never change I''ll prove them wrong It''s over I hear the calling but its passing through Clean me up show me how to live Tear me down Let me start again

I''m no leader I''m just a mess It''s not the way it''s supposed to be It''s just the way that it is I''m afraid we are all victims here And the one whose in charge I''ve lead us all astray again Oh, how the plot thickens! Are we too far gone? We always assume the worst I''m afraid no ones listening anymore I''m freaking out I''m so sick I''m making me sick Don''t look down The only thing in my way is myself I''m just thinking out loud How can I still be alive I should''ve been gone so long ago I can''t get away from it all I messed up like I always do I gave you nothing I took you nowhere You''re still listening The world around me Has taken a turn for the worst I''m left alone Climbing to the top Should I jump should I stay Can I make another day I am the one whose wrong God forgive me

I''m not scared, but this is happening I''m not afraid, but this is real It all comes at once From every single direction This time I''m not sleeping at all How could this be real I''ve failed you I was lying when I said I was looking north I was too scared to show what I am Bear with me this is all I have left This night be more than a single conversation It''s been dancing around in my head For quite some time Just the though Of cleaning up myself I stare at the wall Watching my time float away It''s all been a blur And nothing will change I was lying This is defeat

At the end of it all We will be sold for parts We will try to rebuild But we ate it all away All ambitions now run dry Someone stop this thing, turn it off In search of new life Nothing will be left to walk this earth again Turn it off... Our hopes and dreams Will be swallowed We always said it wouldn''t end up like this We will be the new ice age We will be the new plague Disguised as a colony We will wipe them all away Feast your eyes Or just rip ''em out This is it for us It''s time to panic We always said it wouldn''t end It wouldn''t end up like this We are the cancer We are the virus Tell me it''s not too late

Someone has sown me shut And tied me to a bed They locked me up Oh, God! This is where they all Throw me to the wolves Dragged behind and trampled on I can''t keep clawing at the jaws of hell The silence is killing me Nothing to calm the nerve Write down my thoughts And read me my rights Repeat, repeat, repent and repeat The cycle never really ends ''Till they admit that it''s real Everything is leaving me wondering I hate that I''m questioning You''re everything This is how it seems to me I''ve drowned myself in self-regret This is how I wanna be This can''t be how I wanna be They just spin in perfect little circles And that''s all they know Nothing''s right, just left alone Sinking in will be just fine None of them will ever know

Just drifting along with the world Every motion is paranoid and paralyzing Give it up or give ''em hope Let us all survive the wake We, we''re a race, a human race Under the glass behind it all Watch us crawl so fearfully I might be wrong after all But weren''t we just so delicate yesterday Sit back and think about it Sleep it off, sleep on it Come to, and make your motions Listen up There''s a calling ahead A desperation A falling of man We are all lost in the sound of separation Hands in the air and love at our sides There''s gotta be something bigger With the beating in our throats And the tremble in our grip This can''t be it I''ll come up for peace I''ll come down for truth I''ll give in, I''ll give up for you The floors are shaking And we''ve lost our step Oh Lord, have mercy on us all

Let''s do this for each other Let''s do this for truth I give for you, you give for me Let me take you somewhere I can''t explain I''m stumbling right in front of you now I won''t refrain from guiding you there Normal is not so far Was it just a dream Or something much more We are not alone Since you agreed to follow It''s all in my head, if you want, you can look inside There''s nothing but red and all the mess I''ve been It''s all in the way I say what I don''t mean, and mean what I don''t I need to speak of you and what is real They will never understand What eats at our insides

Facing forwards, sinking in thin air Help me to learn to breath again I know I''ve lost my way So show me There are demons inside my head I always let them win I have to learn to suffocate them The lost ask for a hand But I can''t stop, I never stop I''ve been losing my footing here I''m all mixed up in this I need some kind of change God make it stop, I can''t make it stop This place is getting smaller Everything in your darkest thoughts about me might be true I hear the words you say, I still feel nothing I put my voice out there for you to hear But the words never made much sense to you I''ve lost my path I''m fading fast Time is short Time is up This is really my plan To get out in one piece Is this really your plan To keep me lost and on my knees I say redemption Can someone help me hold on

Good God, if your song leaves our lips If your work leaves our hands Then we will be wonders and vagabonds They will stare and say how empty we are How the freedom we had turned us up as dead men Let us be cold, make us weak Let us, because we all have ears Let us, because we all have eyes How they knew that this would happen We''re so run down Good God! Can you still get us home... How can we still get home I''m not dreaming We''re forgetting our forgiveness

You said there was nothing left down here Well I roamed around the wasteland And I swear I found something I found hope, I found God I found the dreams of the believers Oh, God! Save us all
