As I Lay Dying
Torn Between
[Intro: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis]
Pulled both ways but still suspended
The worst of each, reduced and blended
Still suspended, suspended
[Verse 1: Tim Lambesis & Josh Gilbert]
I thought I was stuck between two worlds
Because I was not willing to let go
Recklessly pulled both ways
But somehow still suspended
The worst of each, reduced and blended
But as life unfolded, I realized
The momentum to drift from side to side
Came from within, came from inside
[Chorus: Josh Gilbert]
I feel torn between two hearts dying
But I'll trade them in for one
Broken and exposed, collapsing
So why would I hold on?
[Verse 2: Tim Lambesis & Josh Gilbert]
One heart turned black
The other blue and bruised
Arms breaking, arms breaking
From the dreams
Dreams shattered
The dreams that I can't reach
There has to be
There has to be a choice I have not seen
[Chorus: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis]
I feel torn between two hearts dying
But I'll trade them in for one
Broken and exposed, collapsing
So why would I hold on?
I feel torn between two hearts dying
But I'll trade them in for one
[Bridge: Tim Lambesis]
One darkened over time
Burning away the shame
Erasing hidden insights
I did not want to be seen
The other was beaten
From being exposed
So it hurt less
To never hold it close
[Chorus: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis]
I feel torn between two hearts dying
But I'll trade them in for one
Broken and exposed, collapsing
So why would I hold on?
I feel torn between two hearts dying
But I'll trade them in for one
So why would I hold on?
I'll trade them in for one
[Outro: Tim Lambesis & Josh Gilbert]
Neither heart had power to fill my veins
Or be the source of who I want to be
Pulled both ways but still suspended
