First Things First Lyrics by Shudderspeed

2023

[Verse 1]
Taking hold of identity to soften suffering
Looking to the future crumbling my hopeful dream
Gazing at the brightest stars, don't take my home away
World greets me with a blank stare, what am I supposed to say?

[Chorus]
First things first and listen to me closer
Fear the words that all I ever
Got from you was just as close to "love you"
But you never put first things first
Things first and listen to me closer
Fear the words that all I ever
Got from you was just as close to "love you"
But you never put first things first

[Verse 2]
Tearing down the walls I built to keep myself inside
Blocking memories as thеy come to shield me from thеir lie
Anger between the lines I drew, the shadows ink your stain
Tried to run from the furious, now I create my pain

[Chorus]
First things first and listen to me closer
Fear the words that all I ever
Got from you was just as close to "love you"
But you never put first things first
Things first and listen to me closer
Fear the words that all I ever
Got from you was just as close to "love you"
But you never put first things first

[Verse 3]
Stranger [?], he's on his way, you mustn't speak his name
He never cared for order, I had to earn my way
Who failed me? I want to know because they're living lies
I need some time to sort this out before my last hope dies

[Verse 4]
Break their grasp, we know it takes far too long
To not even slip the chains when you can't see what's wrong
You helped our sins grow strong, resent for every elation
We never got the chance to consent to our creation
