The Gift
Sediment Bruise Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All the signs you have ignored
By lying on your couch so bored
They'll find their way back to you
Claim everything that's left of you
Stand up now and hit the streets
That's your opportunity
That's the way that you should be
So wake up from your sleep right on
That life is not a gift
If you want to live your way
Freed from everything they say
That's your opportunity
That's your chance to make it real
Get up now and hit the streets
Now's the time for you to fight
Now you must reclaim your life
So wake up from your sleep right on
That life is not a gift




If you live by what you stand my friend
It's gonna be their end
