Starting Line Songtext

von Luke Hemmings

In and out of focus, moments that I keep
Something for the pain and something so I sleep
Won′t you comfort me,? Warm the air that I breathe
Visceral in doses, hiding in the seams
Standing on the sun and I don't feel a thing
Won′t you comfort me? Take the fear I don't need

I wake up every morning with the years ticking by
I'm missing all these memories, maybe they were never mine
I feel the walls are closing, I′m running out of the time
I think I missed the gun at the starting line

Tell mе, am I broken? I can never lеave
Biting on my tongue and checking if it bleeds
Oh, is it lost on me, all the things I believe?
Something like an omen I can never keep
Moving on and on, so very bittersweet
Is it lost on me, all the things I don′t need?

I wake up every morning with the years ticking by
I'm missing all these memories, maybe they were never mine
I feel the walls are closing, I′m running out of time
I think I missed the gun at the starting line

Take me alive, make me a liar, take me alive
Don't look away until it′s gone, until it's gone
Take me alive, make me a liar, take me alive
Don′t look away until it's gone, until it's gone

I wake up every morning with the years ticking by
I′m missing all these memories, maybe they were never mine
I feel the walls are closing, I′m running out of time
I think I missed the gun at the starting line

Take me alive, make me a liar, take me alive
Don't look away until it′s gone, until it's gone
Take me alive, make me a liar, take me alive
Don′t look away until it's gone, until it′s gone (gone)
