I'm Not The Only One
As Everything Unfolds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The suns will burn forever
The moons create shadows in our eyes
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one

I've never heard just painful words
Young faces crying out it hurts
The silence, the choirs of righteous
Echo through the hallowed walls
I cannot sit in this hall no more
Illness unseen to the naked eye
Oh we're still young but we still cry

It's not fair, oh no it's not fair
The mercy we're supposed to see
Oh we're still young but we still bleed

The suns will burn forever
The moons create shadows in our eyes
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one

I cannot see, I cannot breathe the air is heavy with sympathy
We come together, fall apart
Wish we could do it all right from the start
From the start
Anger amongst the broken hearts
We cannot take back the past
Let's do it right on each other's parts
And feel weightless in each other's thoughts

The suns will burn forever
The moons create shadows in our eyes
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one

We will live to see the day our souls unwind




We will live to see the day the darkness died
The silence the choirs of righteous
