Lifeline

August Burns Red

Sometimes it's best to keep it all in
Words carry no weight if the sincerity is questioned
The kindest compliment can do the most damage when all it does is form an illusion
Trapped inside an inflated sense of self worth, it will explode leaving nothing but the burns
It will only get worse as it leads to hurt
If there's no meaning there will be no inspiration
Another missed chance at molding aspirations
Don't look away from their eyes
Everyone needs a restart from time to time
Don't look away from their eyes, as you push and teach and criticize
Let them fall
Let them fail and feel the stings of failure
Don't look away from their eyes
A mistake is a chance to grow into something stronger and bolder than they may know
They’ll learn to stand on their own
They'll speak up when no one mutes their mouth
Don't throw the lifeline if no one calls for help
They'll speak up when no one mutes their mouth
It means they're navigating for themselves
Becoming self-sufficient is one of life's biggest missions
Conflicts and stumbles are just obstacles towards making their own decisions
Have more faith
They can battle the elements
Have more faith
Don't be the detriment
