Life Over Death
You've put your hope down a dead end track
Crossed the line/ ain't no turnin' back
You wanna wish everything away
Joy has turned to a blistering pain
Forced regret of who's to blame
You live in a state of shame
Chorus:
If only you knew/ maybe you'd choose
Life over death
Accepting a lifestyle/is it worthwhile?
To kill what you had?
A lie you've made to better suit yourself
Bridges burned/ no one left to help
Everything is crashing right before your eyes
Losing faith in everything that's right
Light is overshadowed by the bitter night
Nothing left/ you've run out of time
Repeat ChorusX1
Bridge: Maybe one day you'll see
before it's too late
Life's too short
to make foolish mistakes
Let go of the ties that hold you down
You can turn it all around/ You can turn everything around
Guitar solo:)
Repeat Chorus
