Every Second Counts - Heartsounds

Calculate this life
With the precision of a knife
Through the dreaded rise
And on into the starless nights
Analyze me every waking breath
And scrutinize this sterile path to death
A once vibrant soul
Stripped of light and shot into the dark unforgiving cold
Cold
Do you know what it's like to die
Well I know what it's like
To be chewed up and spit out of this
Pathetic cycle of life in two records' time
So watch me get back up
And brush off the decay the dirt and dust
Only to fall back through
Straight to hell I swore I'd never return to
Oh how I long to feel alive
To be thrust into the depths of midnight skies
To prove my worth before I'm thrown to the lions
To claim my thrown on top of the world defined
Oh how I long to feel alive
To be thrust into the depths of midnight skies
To claim my thrown on top of the world defined
These days and weeks blend seamlessly
Together into an emptiness I'll barely remember
It's hardly a way to waste away "but it's what were given"
I won't settle for this I won't settle for this
