August Burns Red
Composure
[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
Pull it together, button up your shirt
Roll down those sleeves, don't let them see how you've coped
It's not the first time
And they're getting deeper

[Breakdown]
More and more, your demeanor looks like quicksand
More and more, your demeanor looks like quicksand!

[Chorus]
It seems like you're giving up
Giving up on everything you worked for
It seems like you're giving up
Giving up on everything you worked for

[Post-Chorus]
It's pulling you under, it's gripping around your throat
It's pulling you under, it's gripping around your throat
[Chorus]
It seems like you're giving up on everything
It seems like you're giving up on everything

[Post-Chorus]
It's pulling you under
It's pulling you under

[Bridge]
Life can be overwhelming
But don't turn your back on the strongest crutch
You've ever had, you've ever had!
They have always been there to brace your fall!

[Outro]
Wave goodbye to the past, you've got your whole life to lead
Wave goodbye to the past, you've got your whole life to lead
Wave goodbye to the past, you've got your whole life to lead
Wave goodbye to the past, you've got your whole life to lead
You've got your whole life to lead
You've got your whole life to lead, it's time to gain some ground!
