The Beating of a Lifetime Lyrics by The Appreciation Post

Work/Sleep

2012

[Verse 1]
Life sucks, then you die
Thanks dad for the advice
You aim low, you get by
You won't win, so don't try
The beating of a lifetime is taking its toll tonight
[Chorus]
One by one, my fingers give it back
The grip they thought they had
One by one, my fears evaporate
I find the strength to say enough is enough
[Verse 2]
I don't mind being stuck down here in this rut
Honestly, it is just this routine I'm afraid of
The beating of a lifetime is taking its toll tonight
[Chorus]
One by one, my fingers give it back
The grip they thought they had
One by one, my fears evaporate
I find the strength to say enough is enough
Enough is enough
[Bridge]
What good are these bars of gold
When the world comes to an end?
Maybe we could use them to smash our brains in
What good is this heart and soul
When the mind and the body have lost all hope?
The beating of a lifetime is taking its toll tonight
The beating of a lifetime
[Chorus]
One by one, my fingers give it back
The grip they thought they had
One by one, my fears evaporate
I find the strength to say enough is enough
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
I've had enough
Enough is enough
