August Burns Red Composure Lyrics

Composure Lyrics

Shake it off.

Pick yourself up, they say.

Your life fell apart in
your hands, and you’ve got the scars to prove it.

It’s not the first
time, and they’re getting deeper.

Pull it together.

Button up your
shirt.

Roll down those sleeves.

Don’t let them see how you’ve
coped.

More and more your demeanor looks like quicksand.

It seems
like your giving up on everything you worked for.

It’s pulling you
under.

It’s gripping around your throat.

Life can be
overwhelming,

but don’t turn your back on the strongest crutch you’ve
ever.

They have always been there to brace your fall.

Wave goodbye
to the past.

You’ve got your whole life to lead.

It’s time to gain
some ground.
