Struggling with Machines? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
I would dig a thousand holes to lay next to you I would dig a thousand more if I needed to I look around the grave for an escape route of old routines There doesn't seem to be any other way Cause I've started falling apart I'm not savoring life I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive Crazy as it sounds you won't feel as low as you feel right now At least that's what I've been told by everyone I whisper empty sounds in your ear and hope that you won't let go Take the pieces and build them skywards 'Cause I've started falling apart I'm not savoring life I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive I've started falling apart I'm not savoring life Take the pieces and build them skywards I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive Take the pieces and build them skywards I've started falling apart I'm not savoring life Take the pieces and build them skywards I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive Take the pieces and build them skywards I've started falling apart I'm not savoring life Take the pieces and build them skywards I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive Take the pieces and build them skywards Take the pieces and build them skywards And Take the pieces and build them skywards And Take the pieces and build them up to the sky.
