about

This song is about the dust settling on your hardship and finding your own ways to make it out alive.

lyrics

VERSE1:
So back and fourth we dropped the swords that launched the catapult.
The stroke was floored and you destroyed my existence.
The fact remains, I'm not the same, and that's ok with me.
It's a sacrifice I need to build my resistance. That's what we
Call the moment of reckoning. Even though I hate to say it,
but the fact still remains. There's no turning back when you save yourself.
So save yourself.

INTERLUDE:
That's when it dawned on me, if you believe
you can be anything you want to be. Reach out for your dreams,
learn that they'll set you free. When your hearts beating faster on the
brink of disaster, there's no need to let go of what you're chasing after.
That's the last time I let you smother me, just in case you don't hear me

VERSE2:
You got me feeling like I'm sinking now please,
stop me from going under. The kind of feeling, when
You're screaming out, because every little thing you say is wrong.
But you will see who's the last one that's laughing, when
all that remains of the likes of me were my keys to the back door.
By the way she started freaking out you'd think, nobody ever loved her.
She grabbed a bag and she packed her things and said; "I'm
caught up in the middle of a fantasy. We're not enemies but for the best of me it's just that time I let you go. But in the end I wouldn't change a thing because I already miss you so.."

CHORUS:
That's what we call the moment of reckoning.
I don't need your help landing safely back on my feet, but
That's the last time I let you smother me.

VERSE3:
I got my head stuck up in the clouds so somebody stop the weather.
Handle that then get back to me because I'm caught up in the middle
just make it stop, or not and go right to the top. Just on the off Chance that I'll get the last dance, so by the way she started freaking out you'd think nobody ever loved her.
(Handle that then get back to me because I'm caught up in the middle just make it stop.)

CHORUS

BREAKDOWN:
Light em up, Light em up like a firework, and
be the spark that explodes them to pieces.
All in all we're standing tall to be a monument,
To all of those whose life's a disaster.

That's the last time I let you smother me.
