The Swellers - My Everest lyrics
rate meSo this is what it's like to be human<br />
And I should know<br />
A second never felt so long<br />
I tried to put the pieces in their place<br />
Not a man or god, <br />
But somewhere in between; <br />
The body's a machine<br />
<br />
It takes a toll too high to see another life<br />
Flash before your eyes<br />
The highway won't just stop itself<br />
If you're alive<br />
There's no more time to think of the might-have-beens<br />
As the old ship sinks<br />
A new horizon waits<br />
But not today<br />
<br />
I try to pull myself together<br />
I'm just used to seeing the chest rise and fall<br />
Point taken, man, just breathe again<br />
Hitting the brakes so hard<br />
At the sight of blood and steel<br />
It tends to make things real<br />
<br />
It takes a toll too high to see another life<br />
Flash before your eyes<br />
The highway won't just stop itself<br />
If you're alive<br />
There's no more time to think of the might-have-beens<br />
As the old ship sinks<br />
A new horizon waits<br />
<br />
They told me I'd see angels<br />
In their place flashing lights<br />
I'm seeing my mirror image in pieces<br />
No sound, but can you hear me?<br />
I'm screaming out my lungs<br />
I don't believe this<br />
I hope you hear this<br />
<br />
It takes a toll too high to see another life<br />
Flash before your eyes<br />
The highway won't just stop itself<br />
If you're alive<br />
There's no more time to think of the might-have-beens<br />
As the old ship sinks<br />
We have mountains to climb<br />
This is my Everest</
