They're Only Chasing Safety

UnderOath They're Only Chasing Safety Lyrics
1.Some Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape

Underoath
They're Only Chasing Safety
Some Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape
I heard a voice through the discord.
A deluge of passersby
I saw one gaze froxen in time
watching me passing by.

I swear I'll know you're face in the crowd
and I'll hear your voice so loud when you're whispering.

Hey unfaithful, I will teach you to be stronger, to be strong.
Hey ungrateful, I will teach you to forgive one another.

Here's my kiss to betray
Desperate to press the lips of grace.
Do you feel hollow when you think of how I've lied?

Oh sweet angel of mercy with your grace like the morning wrap
your loving arms around me.

Oh sweet angel of mercy with your grace like the morning wrap
your loving arms around me.

Hey unfaithful, I will teach you to be stronger, to be strong.
Hey ungrateful, I will teach you to forgive one another.

Hey unfaithful, I will teach you to be stronger, to be strong.
Hey ungrateful, I will teach you to forgive one another.
Hey unloving, I will love you. I will love you. I will love you.

And Jesus, I'm reacy to come home.

Hey unfaithful, I will teach you to be stronger, to be strong.
Hey ungrateful, I will teach you to forgive one another.
Hey unloving, I will love you. I will love you. I will love you.


2.Reinventing Your Exit

Lyricist:Grant Brandell, Spencer Chamberlain, Chris Dudley, Aaron
Gillespie, Timothy Mctague, James Smith

12 and high on a Sunday
Feeling like we're grown
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

Around and round
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've 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've crossed the line

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 this
Up against the wall
Up against the wall
You got me up against your wall

This is the way I would have done this
Up against the wall
Up against the wall
You've got me up against your wall

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

This is the way I would have done this
Up against a wall
Up against your wall

This is the way we should have done
When we're up against a wall
Up against the wall

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

This is the way I would have done this
Up against the wall
Up against the wall
You've got me up against your wall


3.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, am just a fool for you,I am just a fool for
you.

(Here, is where, we both, go wrong.)

Tonight's your last chance to, do exactly what u 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.)

Your lungs have failed and they both stopped breathing, my heart
is dead, it's way passed beating, something has gone terribly
wrong, (im scared, your scared, were scared of this.)

I never thought we'd make it out alive,
(I never told you but it's all in your good byes), it's all in
your goodbyes.

Well look whos dying now,slit wrists while sleeping with the
girl next door.
I always knew you were, such a sucker for that.

It doesn't matter what you say,It never mattered anyway, it
never mattered anyway.

(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.)

Your lungs have failed and they've both stopped breathing,my
heart is dead it's way passed breathing,something has gone
terribly wrong,(im 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 good byes,)

Don't shake,I hate to see you, (tremble,
trembling, you've lost your) touch (Haven't you)(I'm so
addicted, so addicted)

Your lungs have failed and they both stopped breathing, your
heart is dead it's way passed beating, something has gone
terribly wrong, (your wrong)

Your lungs have failed and they both stopped breathing, my heart
is dead it's way passed beating, something has gone terribly
wrong,(im scared, your scared, we're scared of this)

I never thought we would make it out alive, ( I never told you
but it's all in your good byes) it's all in your good byes.

(I never thought we'd make it out alive, I never thought we'd
make it out alive, I never thought we'd make it out alive, It's
all in your good byes.)


4.Down, Set, Go

I had the whole world in my hands
But I gave it away
I had the whole world in my hands
But I gave it away, gave it away

I'm a half-wit boy
Crackin' a smile and wearin' it all on my sleeve
So cool, so poised
It's true I'm just around to see

Where this thing goes I'll never know
But all I know is packing bags is a remedy
Is a remedy

This time I'll be nervous
'Cause I can't see your hands
In front of me, in front of me

Tonight let's forget all pretense
Of what they thought we should be
What liars we can be

I'm on my way to the top of the world
And I've got a feelin' I'll give it away
I'm on my way to the top of the world
And I've got a feelin' I'll give it away

She's a maverick
She's so smooth
If things go according to plan
I'll have her finished by 5 AM

There's no changin' plans
There's no second chance
I've already got both feet through the door
And I can taste the air, I can taste the air

This time I'll be nervous
'Cause I can't see your hands
In front of me in, front of me

Tonight let's forget all pretense
Of what they thought we should be
What liars we can be

Make a sound, it's safe for you
To choke in here alone

Whatever I say goes
Whatever I say goes
Whatever I say goes
Whatever I say goes

You're not here with me, you're not here with me
You're not here with me, you're not here with me
You're not here with me, you're not here with me
You're not here with me, you're not here with me


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

Lyricist:Grant Brandell, Spencer Chamberlain, Chris Dudley, Aaron
Gillespie, Timothy Mctague, James Smith

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

Time is running, it's 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, stopped for you and me

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

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

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

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 with him

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

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


6.The Impact Of Reason

Lyricist:Grant Brandell, Spencer Chamberlain, Chris Dudley, Aaron
Gillespie, Timothy Mctague, James Smith

Prop open the door I can actually see my breath tonight
But that doesn't mean I'm breathing
Crack a smile just for the sake of it
This could take a while a long while
Silence is golden especially in this case

I'm not too sure that I want it to be this way
Open mouth closed eyes no words are escaping
It's all a blur it's too dark to see
Ain't it pretty the way it all streaks together at night
Together at night

I think it's time to turn around
I really want to go home tonight
I think it's time to turn around
I really want to go home tonight

I feel like this is going nowhere
I feel like this is going nowhere
Try to think of something quick
And trust the direction of the driver

No lights no lights no signs no signs
I'm at a loss for words
No lights no lights no signs no signs
I'm at a loss for words
I'm at a loss for words

Now conversation sparks
What an easy way to break the ice
Now conversation sparks
What an easy way to break the ice


7.I'm Content With Losing

Lyricist:Grant Brandell, Spencer Chamberlain, Chris Dudley, Aaron
Gillespie, Timothy Mctague, James Smith

Like I said
'Leave your baggage at the back door'
I'm leaving you the way I think it should be
We're always pulling into spaces that we can't back out of
Starting fights, we can't talk our way out of them
Talk our way out of them, talk our way out of them

How does it feel to be on
The receiving end of this one
Of this one?

I'm half way there, it's all on me
This is what I get for wanting more, for wanting more
This is the way it's got to be
Desolate, alone, and searching
So I walk around with this rope in my hand, rope in my hand
So I'll tie it around and around and around
I'll tie me down

I'll fantasize of being manic
And leaving us behind
In your eyes you were the one that tried

Acceptance is what holds us here
And you my dear are the one I fear tonight
We'll try just one more time

This is the moment that we all live for
Are you ready?
Are you ready?

I'm half way there, it's all on me
This is what I get for wanting more, for wanting more
This is the way it's got to be
Desolate, alone, and searching
So I walk around with this rope in my hand, rope in my hand
So I'll tie it around and around and around
I'll tie me down

You can't see past my waving hands
Just running away again
You can't see past my waving hands
Just run!

You think so loud it hurts my ears

I want to know how to get through this
How to get through this
Without choking up

I want to know how to get through this
How to get through this
Without choking up

I can't feel you
You're so far from me

This is what I get for wanting more
I'm half way there
This is what I get for wanting more
I'm half way there, it's all on me

This is what I get for wanting more
I'm half way there
This is what I get for wanting more
I'm half way there, it's all on me

This is what I get for wanting more
I'm half way there
This is what I get for wanting more
I'm half way there, it's all on me


8.I Got 10 Friends And A Crowbar That Says You Aint Gonna Do Jack

Lyricist:Grant Brandell, Spencer Chamberlain, Chris Dudley, Aaron
Gillespie, Timothy Mctague, James Smith

Clearing as the sound wraps around the horizon
I'm standing still, I'm standing still
Waiting for one change, now I know it's over
I'm walking out, I'm walking out

What do you expect of me? Did you think
That this was all an excuse for hospitality?
I know you think it's all because of me

At first glance I was breathing
Leaving myself no room to move at all
Why not? It's all fun and and I'm drunk with regret

Swimming in a sea of hope tonight
We'll run around and chase these people
As we push away with everything we have
With everything we have

Directing all my words, directing all my words
(We can start the fire, then we'll light up the night)
No I wouldn't be too sure, sure of you at all
Sure of you at all

We'll watch it burn together on respective sides
We look so good, we look so good as we fall
As we fall, as we fall

I'll go ahead and re-elect perfections
It never looked as good as it does on you right now
I'll go ahead and make an incision
Doubt she'll feel anything at all

I think I'm gone, so much pain, I don't notice
At least I can say I made it out this time
I just want for you to listen, that's why you'll be sure
To cover up, to cover up your wounds

Directing all my words, directing all my words
(We can start the fire, then we'll light up the night)
No I wouldn't be too sure, sure of you at all
Sure of you at all

Directing all my words, directing all my words
(We can start the fire, then we'll light up the night)
No I wouldn't be too sure, sure of you at all
Sure of you at all

I don't know how to say this
My thoughts have just run out
You've just run out, you've just run out
You've just run out


9.I Don't Feel Very Receptive Today

Lyricist:Grant Brandell, Spencer Chamberlain, Chris Dudley, Aaron
Gillespie, Timothy Mctague, James Smith

This door has been shut for days
And it's all too familiar
Can't I just crack a window
Can't I just shake it off?

I'm sure I've tasted this before, before, before
I'm sure I've tasted this before

Everything is out of reach
And I just want to see outside
The air, the air has been getting thin
I feel like cutting it open tonight, tonight, yeah
And falling on the floor

There's nothing left unused in here
There's nothing left to say

I haven't talked in days
And I'm really not too sure
What I sound like anymore
My vision has gone and my mouth is full of sores, of sores

I feel like dripping it dry tonight, yeah
For over and over again
It's time, it's time to open up the door, the door


10.You're So Intricate

Lyricist:Grant Brandell, Spencer Chamberlain, Chris Dudley, Aaron
Gillespie, Timothy Mctague, James Smith

Like I said, 'Leave your baggage at the back door
I'm leaving you the way I think it should be
We're always pulling into spaces that we can't back out of
Starting fights, we can't talk our way out of them'

How does it feel to be on the recieving end of this one?

This night will swell with us, this night will run with us
This is our last surviving chance, I wanna survive
This night will swell with us, this night will run with us
This is our last surviving chance, I wanna survive

Feast your eyes
(Swell with us)
I don't care

I'll fantasize of being manic
And leaving us behind
In your eyes, you were the one that tried

Acceptance is what holds us here
And you, my dear, are the one I fear, tonight
We'll try just one more time

This is the moment that we all live for
Are you ready? Are you ready?

This night will swell with us, this night will run with us
This is our last surviving chance, I wanna survive
This night will swell with us, this night will run with us
This is our last surviving chance, I wanna survive

Feast your eyes
(Run with us)
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
And I'll never care

I cant see past your waving hand
Just running away again
I can't see past your waving hand
Just running away again

You think so loud, it hurts my ears

I wanna know how to get through this
How to get through this without choking up
I wanna know how to get through this
How to get through this without choking up

I can't feel you, you're so far from me


11.Young And Aspiring

Lyricist:Grant Brandell, Spencer Chamberlain, Chris Dudley, Aaron
Gillespie, Timothy Mctague, James Smith

So let's not even try, you're right
Let's ball it up and throw it out the window
It's becoming all so clear in my mind
I've thought this thing through more like once or twice
I feel that this is my last request to you

Hold your breath, bottle it up and save it for the next one
It's safe to say we've been riding this all night
None of this will ever change your mind
It's never safe to rely on borrowed time
Now we're both undone and it's time to open up your eyes

Consequence is our need in times like this
Feeling free is our modern disease
You're a classic disaster with a knack for losing your exterior
I'm so sick from staring at the mirror
This all needs a break from you and I am used to this

I fear that I'm just an end, so you play the mistaken
And I play the victim in our screenplay of desire
And I'm still writing the letters, I'll never send

Running in circles, I can't forget how many times
I've played this in my mind
Feeling free, feeling free

Consequence is our need in times like this
Feeling free is our modern disease
You're a classic disaster, with a knack for losing your exterior
I'm so sick from staring at the mirror
This is my panic, this is my call to arms
This is my panic, this is my call to arms


12.The 80's Song

Lyricist:Grant Brandell, William Chamberlain, Christopher Dudley,
Aaron Gillespie, Timothy Mctague, James Smith

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

Time is running, is running on empty
And the gas is running out
I've decided that tonight is the night
That I set love aside

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
So 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 for you and me

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

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

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

Glass shatters and comes to a halt
(Drowning in my sleep)
(I'm drowning in my sleep)

I thought we'd be there by now
(Drowning in my sleep)
(I'm drowning in my sleep)

I thought it would be
So much quicker than this
(Drowning in my sleep)
(I'm drowning in my sleep)

Pain has never been so brilliant
(Drowning in my sleep)
(I'm drowning in my sleep)

I made sure you were buckled in
(Drowning in my sleep)
(I'm drowning in my sleep)

Now you can walk hand in hand
Hand in hand with him
(Drowning in my sleep)
(I'm drowning in my sleep)

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

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