Lifeline - 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 form an illusion

Trapped inside an inflated sense of self-worth

It will explode leaving nothing but the burns

It’ll only get worse as it leads to hurt

As it leads to hurt, it leads to hurt

If there’s no meaning, there’ll be no inspiration

Another missed chance at molding aspirations

Don’t look away from their eyes

Everyone needs a restart from time to time to time

Don’t look away from their eyes

Push and teach and criticize (Push and teach and criticize)

Let them fall, let them fail

Feel the stings of failure (Feel the stings of failure)

Don’t look away from their eyes, from their eyes

A mistake is a chance to grow

Into something stronger 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
