Save Yourself Songtext
von The Funeral Portrait

The name of love and the mother of mankind
A final thought from another state of mind
Another victory could turn the tide
Oh god, we′re surrounded on all sides
What was once there is now a thousand years away
What killed me might not make you stronger
But it still kills me to say

I know that the light never left your eyes
You need it now more than ever
I bet the leaves are changing where you are
I know we can't all sleep through the weather
Heartache and silence bearing down onto me
Forward motion, there is no more in between

I saw a vision of regression
It brings be back to all those nights I couldn′t sleep


I know that the light never left your eyes
You need it now more than ever
I bet the leaves are changing where you are
I know we can't all sleep through the weather
Heartache and silence bearing down onto me
Forward motion, there is no more in between

My heart is somewhere in between us
But I won't find it at the bottom of this bottle

And then I asked myself, "Are you ready to go?"
There′s still a 120 stories left to fall
When the crowd goes silent
The kids turn violent
Pulling teeth and fingernails to wear around their necks

Standing on my head to get a taste of oblivion
I′ll let it get a taste of me because all I bleed is medicine
Buried underneath a life of concrete and cigarettes
Fingers turn to roaches breeding sin among the throes of regret

Lost in time, bereft of feeling, I've decided to let them take me
Save yourself
