Every Second Counts Lyrics by Heartsounds

Drifter

2011

[Intro: Ben Murray]
Calculate this life with the precision of a knife
Through the dreaded rise
And on into the starless nights
Analyze my every waking breath
And scrutinize this sterile path to death
A once vibrant soul, stripped of light
And shot into the dark, unforgiving cold, cold

[Verse: Ben Murray]
Do you know what it's like to die?
Well I know what it's like to be chewed up and spit out
Of this pathetic cycle of life in two records time
So watch me get back up
And brush off the decay, the dirt, and dust
Only to fall back through
Straight to the hell I swore I'd never return to

[Chorus: Laura Nichol & Ben Murray]
Oh, how I long to feel alive
To be thrust into the depths of midnight skies
To prove my worth before I'm thrown to the lions
To claim my throne on top of the world defied
Oh, how I long to feel alive
To be thrust into the depths of midnight skies
To claim my throne on top of the world defied

[Outro: Ben Murray & Laura Nichol]
But these days and weeks blend seamlessly together
These days and weeks blend seamlessly, oh
Into an emptiness that I'll barely remember
An emptiness I'll barely remember
It's hardly a way to waste away
"But it's what we're given"
I won't settle for it, I won't settle for this
