lyrics

For little prideful reasons
I don’t believe you
The little lie they’ve written in your head for years
I don’t believe it
You say 666 I say fix fix fix me
I don’t believe you
You say I’m glorifying a ghost that’s not there
I don’t believe it

You tell me the reasons I shouldn’t believe
But I’m not convinced
I’ll be underground
When I’m lowered deeper

Give me the reason you won’t drop dead
Speak up louder, I can’t hear you
The difference mentioned between you and me
Is that you won’t back off
But I won’t back down

You say I’m fool but you’ll be damned

Give me your reasons you’ll live forever
And won’t drop dead
Deadlines come quicker than you think
Separated from the ones you love the most
It just doesn’t make any sense

You tell me the reasons I shouldn’t believe
But I’m not convinced
I’ll be underground
When I’m lowered deeper

Give me the reason you won’t drop dead
Speak up louder, I can’t hear you
The difference mentioned between you and me
Is that you won’t back off

You fight fire with fire
I’m trying to drink Living Water

I Lost You / I Miss You
by Perspectives

supported by 11 fans who also own “Standfast”

Six minutes of beautifully raw melodic hardcore; but that’s all that’s needed to work its effect. An emotional freight-train, it’s imbued with an authentic sense of loss and sadness, which will remind you how to feel again. Tristan

by Belmont

supported by 11 fans who also own “Standfast”

This one really hit me because the lyrics are very relevant to my life right now and I was like, about to nap while listening to this for the first time but then I really listened to it and was like "whoaa". Also I live in a place called Belmont so I was like "haha hey that's cool". Jayden
