[Verse 1]
Oh to be a law unto yourself
A fixed state, so compelled
So cast a spotlight and shine it on you
Such a sight eclipses any other view

[Pre-Chorus]
You know that this is only wearing you down
Does it have to be this way?

[Chorus]
Struck by an avalanche
Dazed by the aftermath
Everything caved in at once while you were standing by my side
Everything caved in at once while you were standing by my side

[Verse 2]
Out of sight, but still on my mind
There's a middle ground I never thought I'd find
Room to breathe, space to move
Yet always something to prove

[Pre-Chorus]
You knew that this was only wearing you down
Did it have to be this way?
[Chorus]
Struck by an avalanche
Dazed by the aftermath
Everything caved in at once while you were standing by my side
Everything caved in at once while you were standing by my side

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Struck by an avalanche
Dazed by the aftermath
Everything caved in at once while you were standing by my side
Everything caved in at once while you were standing by my side
