Lifeline Songtext

von August Burns Red

Sometimes it's best to keep it all in
Words carry no weight
If the sincerity is questioned

The kindest compliment can do the most damage
When all it does is for an illusion
Trapped inside an inflated sense of self worth
It will explode leaving nothing but the burns
It will only get worse, as it leads to hurt
As it leads to hurt

If there's no meaning, there will be no inspiration
Another missed chance at molding aspirations
Don't look away from their eyes
Everyone needs a restart from time to time
Don't look away from their eyes
As you push and teach and criticize

Let them fall
Let them fail and feel the stings of failure
Don't look away from their eyes
From their eyes

A mistake is a chance to grow
Into something strong and bolder than they may know
They'll learn to stand on their own
They'll speak up when no one mutes their mouth
Don't throw the lifeline if no one calls for help
They'll speak up when no one mutes their mouth
It means they're navigating for themselves

Becoming self-sufficient
Is one of life's biggest missions
Conflicts and stumbles are just obstacles
Towards making their own decisions
Their own decisions

Have more faith
They can battle the elements
Have more faith
Don't be the detriment

Have more faith
They can battle the elements
Have more faith
Don't be the detriment

Have more faith
Have more faith

Have more faith
Have more faith
