UnderOath Best Of Underoath Lyrics
1.A Boy Brushed Red Living In Black And White

Can you feel your heartbeat racing?
Can you taste the fear in her sweat?
You've done this wrong it's too far gone
These sheets tell of regret
I admit that I'm just a fool for you
I'm just a fool for you

Here is where we both go wrong

Tonight's your last chance to do exactly
what you want to
And this could be my night
This is what makes me feel alive
Makes you feel alive

Here is where we both go wrong
So tie me up and toss this key
'Cause for now we're living

In this moment that we both ignore the truth
It's all over!
It's all over!

I feel your heart against mine
So take a breath and close your eyes, eyes

(CHORUS)
Your lungs have failed
and they've both stopped breathing
My heart is dead and it's way past beating
Something has gone terribly wrong
I'm scared, you're scared, we're scared of this
I never thought we'd make it out alive
I never told you but it's all in your goodbyes
It's all in your goodbyes

Well, look who's dying now slit wrists from sleeping
with the girl next door
I always knew you were such a sucker for fate
It doesn't matter what you say
You never mattered anyway
never mattered anyway

In this moment that we both ignore the truth
It's all over
It's all over

I feel your heart rubbing against mine
So take a breath and close your eyes, eyes

(CHORUS)

Don't shake, I hate to see you tremble
tremble like you've lost your touch haven't you?
I'm so addicted
So addicted

(CHORUS)
(CHORUS)


2.Reinventing Your Exit

12th and Hyde on a Sunday
Feeling like were gold
And we're nothing short of invincible
(Invincible, invincible)

It starts again, can you feel it?
It takes your breath away
Stop saying that we're invincible
(It's round and around)
You're uninviting, unrewarding
And I'm misinforming you, misinforming you

We all want to be, want to be somebody
Right now, we're just looking for the exit

This is the way I would have done things
Up against the wall, up against the wall
You got me up against your wall
This is the way I would have done things
Up against the wall, up against the wall
You got me up against your wall

It's you and me on a Monday
The lies that we told
This is where we both go numb now
You broke my heart again this time
You're fading now, you crossed the line
You crossed the line

We all want to be, want to be somebody
Right now, we're just looking for the exit


Reaching out for a hand, it's not here
But you're not there, but you're not...

This is the way I would've done this
Up against the wall, up against your wall
This is the way we should've done
When we're up against a wall (up against our wall)


3.It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door

I've been up at this all night long
I've been drowning in my sleep
I've prayed for your safe place
And its time for us to leave

Time is running, its running on empty and the gas is running out
I've decided that tonight is the night
That I let love aside
Full speed ahead this seems to be the place
I've seen this once before
Planned perfection sought in my dreams
Hoping this would take you home

My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
Kiss me one last time

Around this turn where the cross will cast your shadow
The people will all gather
To remember such a day
Where the flames grew as high as trees
And the world stopped
It stopped for you and me

My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
Kiss me one last time
(Shut your eyes)
My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
(So hold on tight)
Kiss me one last time
(Shut your...)

I will now bring new meaning to the word alone
Endless nights of dreaming of life
And the days we should have spent here

Drowning in my sleep I'm drowning in my sleep
Drowning in my sleep I'm drowning in my sleep
(x6)

Glass shatters and comes to a halt
I thought we'd be there by now
I thought it would be so much quicker than this

Pain has never been so brilliant
I made sure you were buckled in
Now you can walk hand in hand
Hand in hand with Him

My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
Kiss me one last time
(Shut your eyes)
My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
(So hold on tight)
Kiss me one last time
(Shut your...)


4.Writing On The Walls

Maybe we, why don't we
Sit right here for half an hour
We'll speak of what a waste I am
And how we missed your beat again.

I swear we need to find some comfort in this run down place
To bridge the gap of this conscious state that we live in
And I'm short on time

How come you try
that brings us home
to fit the shape of
and I pray for
What they tell you
You to move on, move on
but mostly what they show you
At this rate we can't keep up
I'm taking back all the things I've said
I'm taking back all the things I've said
But I sure can't just sit still
Keep me filled in and i swear I'll come


We walk alone
We walk alone
We walk alone
We walk alone
We walk alone
We walk alone
Back home
Alone, Back home

You're almost gone and I'm okay
I still see your shadow
To give you time to be afraid
But never your face again
I remember your presence

I hope to God you come down
I hope to God you feel this now
I hope to God you come down
I hope to...God

I know there must be some way out of here
And all of them will be waiting there.


5.In Division

I lay in a bed of resistance
Chained to either side
I really wish I could, reset, rewind
Someone has clawed out my eyes
Can't identify
I really wish I could, reset, rewind
You know it's never the way we planned it
I really wish we could, reset, rewind
I'm planning a revolution, inside my head
I'm planning a revolution, when I break free
I call for annihilation
Describe the sunlight so I can feel its burn
If only I could get up from this bed

I don't know what they told you
But this place is not what you think
(Reset! Rewind!)

Living inside a hole, they put me underground
Where they could never find me unless they dig me out
I search for the answers
'Cause this is the end
I search for the answers

God, it's caving in on me
I feel them watching
But no one seems to care anymore
I'm digging, I'm digging my way out
'Cause when I'm breathing, there is no release

I can't believe this! I can't believe this!
My mind is starting to turn on me!

I've been living inside a hole, they put me underground
Where they could never find me unless they dig me out
I've been living inside a hole, they put me underground
Where they could never find me unless they dig me out


6.Too Bright To See, Too Loud To Hear

Good God, if your song leaves our lips
If your work leaves our hands
Then we will be wonders and vagabonds
They will stare and say how empty we are
How the freedom we had turned us up as dead men
Let us be cold, make us weak
Let us, because we all have ears
Let us, because we all have eyes
Good God!
How they knew that this would happen
they knew, they knew that this would!
We're so run down
Good God! Can you still get us home
How can we still get home
I'm not dreaming
We're forgetting our forgiveness


7.In Regards To Myself

Wake up, Wake up, My God,
This is not a test and it's not too late to come clean
Get it off your chest
So steady your hand before your face and concentrate
There's got to be some stable ground left to walk on

So tear another page from the book
Are you asleep or just alone
Clear this room from your lungs

Pull yourself together, pull yourself together man
Pull yourself together, pull yourself together.

On your back, you're sleeping in a bed of shame
Let the light breathe some new life into this room
It's what keeps you coming back
Made up of insatiable taste
Bury your head in your hands and sink into yourself
Oh

Just what are you so afraid of
What are you so afraid of
You're staring truth in the face so come on down
What are you so afraid of

You're busy living now, aren't you
You're busy making vows
You're coming unglued
Time is shorter than you know
I know, the light is blinding to the naked eye, so why don't you
take
steps away from being alone, i swear, it's not too late for you

It's all worth reaching for, it's all worth reaching for
It's all worth reaching for, the hand to pull you out
It's all worth reaching for, the hand to pull you out.

Wake up, wake up, wake up
And step outside your box
Wake up, wake up.


8.A Divine Eradication

Between motionless and this retched state of digression
Treading on the line that I drew from my own compliance
Let me feel it rain down
I cannot wait any longer
Let's get something straight
I am not, no I am not who you made me out to be

It's the awakening of my bodies inner consciousness
The fraction of my sleepless numb existence

Rain down now, on me
Rain down now, on me

Pick and pull apart my limbs
Push me down now from your throne
Oh, I feel it now
Drag me down now to the floor
Press the point into my skin
Oh, I feel it now
Oh, I feel it now

Something will have to collide
To end the constant spinning of cycles strung together
And I'm crawling in the streets
Where is my fix
Where is my fix
Where is my fix
Where is my...

I stand alone in time
I stand alone in time
I stand alone in time
I stand alone in time

When they spun away, I fell apart
When they spun away, I fell apart


9.Emergency Broadcast: The End Is Near

At the end, of it all,
We will be sold for parts.
Sold for parts.
We will try to rebuild,
But we ate it all away.
Away.

All ambitions now run dry.
Someone stop this thing,
Turn it off.
In search of new life.
Nothing will be left to walk the Earth again.

Turn it off...
Turn it off...
Turn it off...

Our hopes and dreams,
Will be swallowed alive.
Our hopes and dreams,
Will be swallowed alive.

We always said, it wouldn't end up like this.
Our hopes and dreams,
Will be swallowed alive.

We will be the new ice age.
We will be the new plague.
The new plague.
Disguised as a colony.
We will wipe them all away.
We'll wipe them all away.

Feast your eyes.
Or just rip 'em out.
This is it for us.
It's time to panic.
Feast your eyes.
Or just rip 'em out.
This is it for us.
It's time to panic.

We always said, it wouldn't end.
It wouldn't end up.
It wouldn't end up, like this.
We are the cancer.
We are the virus.
We are the cancer.
We are the virus.
Tell me it's not too late.
Tell me it's not too late.


10.We Are The Involuntary

Just drifting along with the world.
Every motion is paranoid and paralyzing.
Give it up or give 'em hope.
Let us all survive the wake.

We were a race, a human race.
Under the glass behind it all.
Watch us crawl, watch us crawl so fearfully.
I might be wrong after all.
I might be wrong.
But weren't we just so delicate yesterday?

Sit back and think about it.
Sleep it off, sleep on it.
Come to and make your motions.
Sit back and think about it.
Sleep it off, sleep on it.
Come to and make your motions.

Listen up.
Listen up.
Listen up.
There's a calling ahead.
A desperation.
A falling of man.
We are all lost in the sound.
Lost in the sound.
Lost in the sound of separation.

Hands in the air and love at our sides.
There's gotta be something bigger here.
With the beating in our throats,
And the tremble in our grip.
This can't be it.

I'll come up, I'll come up for peace.
I'll come down, I'll come down for truth.
I'll give in, I'll give up for You.

The floors are shaking,
And we've lost our step.
Oh Lord have mercy, have mercy on us all.


11.When The Sun Sleeps

I thought you'd come back at least i prayed (so i prayed)
the romance has been dead (the romance is dead, the romance is
dead)
for years (you come back)
but i've been too afraid to dig the grave (so i prayed)
relief support never came

memories carry me through the day
of when we were kids
and angels came to watch us play

close my eyes, just for tonight
the sun still sleeps, and when she wakes
close my eyes, just for tonight
the sun still sleeps, and when she wakes

a movie that plays in my mind
remembering you helps me survive
every day a re-run of the next
i promised to stay by your side
that all would change, i can't complain
another victim of the game

close my eyes, just for tonight
the sun still sleeps, and when she wakes
close my eyes, just for tonight
the sun still sleeps, and when she wakes

maybe love will FIND us again
for there is always tomorrow
sincerely till the end
close my eyes just for tonight
the sun still sleeps and when she wakes,
close my eyes just for tonight
the sun still sleeps and when she wakes

close my eyes, just for tonight
the sun still sleeps, and when she wakes
close my eyes, just for tonight
the sun still sleeps, and when she wakes

you'll be a memory (be a memory)
you'll be a memory (be a memory)
you'll be a memory (be a memory)
you'll be a memory!! (Memory, memory, memory)
