Life That Kills You

Verse 1

Walking through the garden in bloom

Finding safety inside a quiet room

Watching swallows fly above the roof

Seeking answers and a final proof

Waking up to see the rising sun

Counting battles that have been won

Pre-Chorus

Rivers rushing down to the deep sea

Searching for a place to finally be

Chorus

Swallowing the poison from a cup

Falling down but always getting up

Running through the field of high grass

Waiting for the summer day to pass

It is never the hunger in your mind

It is never the mercy you will find

It is life that kills you

Verse 2

Reading names carved on the stone wall

Hearing spirits in the empty hallway

Laughing loud despite the stinging pain

Running fast within the pouring rain

Burning letters written by the shore

Hearing waves behind a wooden door

Pre-Chorus

Rivers rushing down to the deep sea

Searching for a place to finally be

Chorus

Swallowing the poison from a cup

Falling down but always getting up

Running through the field of high grass

Waiting for the summer day to pass

It is never the hunger in your mind

It is never the mercy you will find

It is life that kills you

Bridge

Underneath the ceiling of clear blue glass

Watching every shadow as the minutes pass

Building up a tower made of shifting sand

Feeling all the heat across the open land

Pre-Chorus

Rivers rushing down to the deep sea

Searching for a place to finally be

Chorus

Swallowing the poison from a cup

Falling down but always getting up

Running through the field of high grass

Waiting for the summer day to pass

It is never the hunger in your mind

It is never the mercy you will find

Chorus

Swallowing the poison from a cup

Falling down but always getting up

Running through the field of high grass

Waiting for the summer day to pass

It is never the hunger in your mind

It is never the mercy you will find

It is life that kills you

Life that kills you
