August Burns Red - Composure Lyrics

August Burns Red Lyrics

"Composure"

Shake it off
Pick yourself up, they say
Your life fell apart in your hands
And you've got the scars
To prove it
It's not the first time, and they're getting
Deeper

Pull it together
Button up your shirt
Roll down those sleeves
Don't let them see how you've coped

It's not the first time, and they're getting
Deeper

More and more your demeanor looks like quicksand
More and more your demeanor looks like
Quicksand!

It seems like you're giving up
Giving up on everything you worked for
It seems like you're giving up
Giving up on everything you worked for

It's pulling you under
It's gripping around your throat
It's pulling you under
It's gripping around your throat

It seems like you're giving up on everything
It seems like you're giving up on everything

It's pulling you under
It's pulling you under

Life can be
Overwhelming
But don't turn your back on
The strongest crutch
You've ever had (you've ever had)

They have always been there to
Brace your fall

Wave goodbye to the past
You've got your whole life to lead
Wave goodbye to the past
You've got your whole life to lead
Wave goodbye to the past
You've got your whole life to lead
Wave goodbye to the past

You've got your whole life to lead
You've got your whole life to lead
You've got your whole life to lead

It's time to gain some ground!
