August Burns Red - Composure lyrics

“Shake it off

Pick yourself up,” they say

Your life fell apart in your hands

And you've got the scars

To prove it

It's not the first time

And they're getting deeper

Pull it together

Button up your shirt

Roll down those sleeves

Don't let them see how you've coped

It’s not the first time

And they’re getting deeper

More and more your demeanor looks like quicksand

More and more your demeanor looks like quicksand

It seems like you’re giving up

Giving up on everything you worked for

It seems like you’re giving up

Giving up on everything you worked for

It's pulling you under

It's gripping around your throat

It's pulling you under

It's gripping around your throat

It seems like you’re giving up

On everything

It seems like you’re giving up

On everything

It's pulling you under

It's pulling you under

Life can be overwhelming

But don't turn your back on the strongest crutch

You've ever had, you’ve ever had

They have always been there

To brace your fall

Wave goodbye to the past

You've got your whole life to lead

Wave goodbye to the past

You've got your whole life to lead

Wave goodbye to the past

You've got your whole life to lead

Wave goodbye to the past

You've got your whole life to lead

(You've got your whole life to lead)

(You've got your whole life to lead)

It's time to gain some ground
