Extinction Lyrics by Structures

Life Through a Window

2014

[Verse 1]
There's a hole in the center of Earth
Where the rest of the world sinks, but I stand still
I never wanted to make a decision
We live like fish in a salt water prison

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey! Hey!
When the iron sinks I will swim instead

[Chorus]
Why are you waiting for the sky to have its fun?
The clouds don't always block the sun
Don't wait for the world to slip away
Don't wait for the world to slip away

[Verse 2]
I've been standing on top of a thought that exists
Withholding the pain 'til it's sent to my wrist
As every day grows older, another weight adds to my shoulders

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey! Hey!
When the iron sinks I will swim instead
Hey! Hey!
Take another look inside your head

[Bridge]
So who's the one with the mask on?
Cover your face at the thought of rejection
You, you are the one with the mask on
Find your fate before it's too late

[Chorus]
Why are you waiting for the sky to have its fun?
The clouds don't always block the sun
Don't wait for the world to slip away
And now I'm staring at the clouds
Let the rain pour down and soak this stable ground
As long as life allows, I'll continue not to make a sound

[Bridge]
Get off your feet and fucking move
So who's the one with the mask on?
Cover your face at the thought of rejection
You, you are the one with the mask on
Find your fate before it's too late
Find your fate before it's too late
Get off your feet and fucking move
