Light Escapes – Dangerkids – letras

He used to lie awake counting breathsEach one he used was one less leftDeep in his chestThe hope was goneOf him getting out or him moving onA hopeless songStirred in his headMonths at a time but he couldn’t lieHe couldn’t time and he couldn’t rhymeOr express himself to save his lifeHe’d put his favorite records onInnerparty and linkin parkHe’d close his eyes and he’d sing alongBut he’d never make it on his ownIt’s not the time and it’s not the placeTo have to eat your wordsCause it’s not the fall and it’s not the failIt’s what you do right afterwordsAnd at these words I hope you riseDig in deep and then choose a sideGrab the mic and you’ll shock them allWith your steady hands and wild eyesWild fires deep insideTorch them all and leave none aliveIf some survive then tell your friendsA broken watch a bad time.So here’s my match lets burn them allBefore the fall of manIt’s time to stand or stand for nothing at allI hope you bury this deep in your mindIt carries on(it’s not like it was before)It never dies(so tell me now, what do you stand for?)Before the scars and the secrets you hideI’ll burn them all(it’s not like it was)Your ghosts inside(so tell me now, what do you stand for?)Not long ago the darkest placeShadows live and light escapesEmpty hands and hollow eyesThat never give and only takeOne mistake you’ll come to seeIs how you doubted thoughtlesslyIs how you only recognizeThe person that I used to beSo here’s my match let’s burn it upTake everything you canBefore you fly you knowYou gotta learn to standAnd I’ve been there beforeTheir torches in handI’ll steady my feetAnd learn how to standAnd I’ll burn aliveBut you’ll know who I am
