As It Is – The Reaper lyrics

(feat. Aaron Gillespie of Underoath)

[Verse 1]
I'm staring death in his eyes
I watch the world cave in
Drain like the colour from my skin
Is this real, is this really happening?
I used to sing his praise
But now there's no sweetness in his name
He's been dying to show me to my grave

[Chorus]
Now what I see and what I dream
They don't align (they don't align, they don't align)
Now face to face, my mistakes
Come to life (They come to life, will I survive?)

[Verse 2]
I feel the floor give way
Nothing but he and I remain
And I see the expression on him change
He leaves my wrists untied
Offers his hand and he tells me to decide
Now I'm begging him let me keep my wasted life
Please, it's not my time

[Chorus]
Now, what I see and what I dream
They don't align (they don't align, they don't align)
Now, face to face, my mistakes
Come to life (They come to life, will I survive?)

[Chorus: Aaron Gillespie]
Now, what I see and what I dream
They don't align (they don't align, they don't align)
Now, face to face, my mistakes come to life

Now, what I see and what I dream
They don't align (they don't align, they don't align)
Now, face to face, my mistakes
Come to life (They come to life, will I survive?)
