Lifeline

August Burns Red

8

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
