Breath
Breaking Benjamin最 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see nothing in your eyes,
And the more I see the less I like.
Is it over yet, in my head?
I know nothing of your kind,
And I won't reveal your evil mind.
Is it over yet? I can't win.

So sacrifice yourself, and let me have what's left.
I know that I can find the fire in your eyes.
I'm going all the way, get away, please.

[Chorus]
You take the breath right out of me.
You left a hole where my heart should be.
You got to fight just to make it through,
'Cause I will be the death of you.
This will be all over soon.
Pour salt into the open wound.

Is it over yet?
Let me in.

So sacrifice yourself, and let me have what's left.
I know that I can find the fire in your eyes.
I'm going all the way, get away, please.

[Chorus]

I'm waiting, I'm praying, realize, start hating.





[Chorus]

Life will come our way,
It has only just begun.
The world will die alone
The frail will fall below.

Time will take our place.
We return it back to one
The calm before the cold,
The long and lonely road.

Look for the light that leads me home.

Tired of feeling lost, tired of letting go.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Failure.

Drive the cloud away,
We will fall from last to none.
The dark before the dawn,
The world will carry on.

Look for the light that leads me home.

Tired of feeling lost, tired of letting go.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Tired of wasted breath, tired of nothing left.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Failure.

Tired of feeling lost, tired of letting go.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Tired of wasted breath, tired of nothing left.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.

We bury the sunlight (Failure), we bury the sunlight (Failure).
Failure! Failure.
We bury the sunlight (Failure), we bury the sunlight (Failure).
Failure! Failure.

Failure.

Time will take our place.
We return it back to one
The calm before the cold,
The long and lonely road.

Look for the light that leads me home.

Tired of feeling lost, tired of letting go.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Failure.

Drive the cloud away,
We will fall from last to none.
The dark before the dawn,
The world will carry on.

Look for the light that leads me home.

Tired of feeling lost, tired of letting go.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Tired of wasted breath, tired of nothing left.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Failure.

Tired of feeling lost, tired of letting go.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Tired of wasted breath, tired of nothing left.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.

We bury the sunlight (Failure), we bury the sunlight (Failure).
Failure! Failure.
We bury the sunlight (Failure), we bury the sunlight (Failure).
Failure! Failure.

Lyrics: (To the best of my ability)

Life will come our way / it has only just begun
The world will die alone / The frail will fall below
Time will take our place / We return it back to one
The calm before the cold / The long and lonely road
Look for the light that leads me home
Tired of feeling lost / Tired of letting go
Tear the whole world down / Tear the whole world down
Failure
Drive the cloud away / We will fall from less to none
The dark before the dawn / The war will carry on
Look for the light that leads me home
Tired of feeling lost / Tired of letting go
Tear the whole world down / Tear the whole world down
Tired of wasting breath / Tired of nothing left
Tear the whole world down / Tear the whole world down
Failure
Tired of feeling lost / Tired of letting go
Tear the whole world down / Tear the whole world down
Tired of wasting breath / Tired of nothing left
Tear the whole world down / Tear the whole world down
We bury the sunlight / We bury the sunlight
Failure / Failure
We bury the sunlight / We bury the sunlight
Failure / Failure
Failure
