Early Graves Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I call to question, the things in question
I think I think too much, I think I'm sure
That that's a problem and that's a reason
Why I always fucking shut the door
On everyone I have ever loved before
I'm willing to just shut myself down
And let the good things go right under my door
I finally found a reason I can open up to something more

[Chorus]
Cause I was always taking the salt from the sea
To water down the soil that's soaking deep
I was suffocating something inside of me
When it just needed to breathe
I would never dare call myself brave
I have made a choice to walk my own way
I would rather than choose to stumble the roads unpaved
Heading to an early grave

[Verse 2]
But if I question, all this in questions...
Will that just take me back to where I came from?
Cause I don't want to ever feel that way again, that way again
Cause all that I got was a dead end heart
Desperately conserving, searching roads in the dark
For a spark to help me hit restart
Cause everything I do will come back to me times two
This is the first time that I've got something I don't wanna lose
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I feel like I have finally found the balance
To rebound, and the waves in the sound they surround me
Like a net to catch me in the act
In the case and event that the present presents challenges over my head

[Chorus]

How to Format Lyrics:

About

Genius Annotation

The third new song from Senses Fail’s compilation album Follow Your Bliss: The Best of Senses Fail.

This song is about keeping myself in check and making sure my view on life is realistic but still keeping my head in the clouds. It also touches on how a lot of the my life I had spent beating myself down rather than building myself up. I think everyone needs some sort of push and some sort positive encouragement whether it comes form inside or outside. I reflect on just how much I really lacked any self esteem. Just because people like your band doesn’t mean you have the proper tools to exist as a healthy human being in your personal life.“ – vocalist Buddy Nielsen
