Every Second Counts -

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
