Senses Fail - Lifeboats

All lyrics are ©2010 Senses Fail

I just want to feel alive, and love myself from the in and the outside. 

'Cause every time that I start to feel whole, I knock myself on the ground because it's all that I've known.

Just like the streets burn a hole through your shoe, my soul has been worn out too.

I'm 25 and I still don't fit in, directionless, like a blind main painting.

[Chorus]

Mother I'm so sorry, I can't go on like this, the lifeboats are leaving with or without me.

What's the point of falling in love if I don't love myself? 

What's the point of being alive if all I want is out?

So I thought that it only feels right, to make the decisions that endanger my life.

Late late at night under black and blue moons, I question the reasons that I self-abuse.

I'm so pathetic, it makes me sick. I'm a fingerless pianist.
I see reflections, I clench my fists. I'm a violin without the strings.

[Chorus]

There is no love, there's only this: just lust and lies and selfishness.

A black hole where the sun once was. I'm never falling back in love,

'cause it has never been enough.

Ever since I've been a young boy I was alone. Now that I've become a man, the feeling's grown.

Through the therapy and through the pills, I can't let go. But what about the fucking fact:

I'm still alone?!

What do you do when you've got nothing left? Give up, give up! And hope for the best.

I fell into the ocean, I and I feel sick, waiting on a nameless rescue ship.

What do you do when you've got nothing left? Give up, give up! And hope for the best.

I fell into the ocean, I and I feel sick, waiting on a nameless rescue ship.

[Chorus]
