Atreyu – Heartbeats And Flatlines lyrics
[Verse 1: Alex Varkatzas]
Lie down, curl up in a ball
You'll never even need to crawl
Strive for shit, slave to it
You're working for the means to an end
Build walls and watch bridges fall
So hungry for the new next best
Strive for shit, slave to it
You're working for the means to an end
[Chorus: Brandon Saller]
Does your heart have a beat?
Does it just sit in your chest?
Crowding your soul, taking space
While you wait for a place to decay
There is more to this life
Than the flesh and the pain
Who keeps carving their mark on your fate?
While you wait for a place to decay
[Alex Varkatzas]
To decay
[Verse 2: Alex Varkatzas]
Wide open skies (Wide open skies)
A billion dreams or dead stars in the night
Exploding cannonballs
Breaking down the walls between you and life
It's time to open up your eyes
To cut all strings and die
To draw the fucking line
Between the living and alive
[Chorus: Brandon Saller]
Does your heart have a beat?
Does it just sit in your chest?
Crowding your soul, taking space
While you wait for a place to decay
There is more to this life
Than the flesh and the pain
Who keeps carving their mark on your fate?
While you wait for a place to decay
[Bridge: Alex Varkatzas]
Your greed
Our greed
Consumes
Everything
[Chorus: Brandon Saller]
Does your heart have a beat?
Does it sit in your chest?
Crowding your soul, taking space
While you wait for a place to decay
There is more to this life
Than the flesh and the pain
Who keeps carving their mark on your fate?
While you wait for a place to decay
Lie down, curl up in a ball
You'll never even need to crawl
Strive for shit, slave to it
You're working for the means to an end
Build walls and watch bridges fall
So hungry for the new next best
Strive for shit, slave to it
You're working for the means to an end
[Chorus: Brandon Saller]
Does your heart have a beat?
Does it just sit in your chest?
Crowding your soul, taking space
While you wait for a place to decay
There is more to this life
Than the flesh and the pain
Who keeps carving their mark on your fate?
While you wait for a place to decay
[Alex Varkatzas]
To decay
[Verse 2: Alex Varkatzas]
Wide open skies (Wide open skies)
A billion dreams or dead stars in the night
Exploding cannonballs
Breaking down the walls between you and life
It's time to open up your eyes
To cut all strings and die
To draw the fucking line
Between the living and alive
[Chorus: Brandon Saller]
Does your heart have a beat?
Does it just sit in your chest?
Crowding your soul, taking space
While you wait for a place to decay
There is more to this life
Than the flesh and the pain
Who keeps carving their mark on your fate?
While you wait for a place to decay
[Bridge: Alex Varkatzas]
Your greed
Our greed
Consumes
Everything
[Chorus: Brandon Saller]
Does your heart have a beat?
Does it sit in your chest?
Crowding your soul, taking space
While you wait for a place to decay
There is more to this life
Than the flesh and the pain
Who keeps carving their mark on your fate?
While you wait for a place to decay
