Down And Above - Severing lyrics

Would a promise make me kiss the violence Would a promise light my fuse Remove the cuffs and k** the silence Dissolve my ties with you We said f** 'em a speech in a bathroom stall A call to the independent scene Pushed to the back of my memory A promise that has to come clean I find courage to let it die Picking up what's mine Severing the line Color brighter when eyes are wide Won't look back this time Severing the line Someday you'll find your moving target has settled where we started Just in time for you to look up and find your game has parted The grip is too tight on the lifeline The cord wrapped around my neck Open the blade and remember a promise I couldn't forget I'll find courage to let it die Checking vital signs Severing the line Color brighter when eyes are wide Won't look back this time I'm done falling short in your eyes Endless compromise for a hollow prize Was "f** em" just a speech in a bathroom stall A call to the independent scene In flesh we steer clear of the drama And watch it unfold on the screen
