Last Breath
Suicide Silence (2014) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's your last breath, this is our last breath
Taken from this earth without warning
Victim of the ultimate injustice
Nothing will ever make sense of this
Nothing could have prepared me
And the pieces of a shattered existence
I wish I could bring back
Right through your last breath
I felt your last breath
All the prayers in the world can't bring you back
