Lyrics Silence and Loss - Hoist the Colors

Silence and Loss

Silence and loss don’t you know they go hand in hand
No sense in protecting yourself in a house built on sand
Foundations shift almost every night
So hold your ground it’s gonna be alright
Fighting so hard that your knuckles are swollen and dry
Back’s feeling broken and you just might be losing your mind
Ten deep breaths and it starts again
So face this world, to struggle can’t be a sin
No days won’t stop and wait
They’ll leave you on a whim
Your boat’s gonna sail away
It’s time to sink or swim
Sink or swim
We’ll all be caught dead or alive
Let’s take the world tonight
Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright
No days won’t stop and wait
They’ll leave you on a whim
Your boat’s gonna sail away
It’s time to sink or swim
Sink or swim
We’ll all be caught dead or alive
The damage is done but there’s no sense in wondering how
You lost your own way in the end you’ve got to be here right now
Slowly get up and get back on your feet
And face this world if you want to be free
You know you want to be free
Let’s take the world tonight
Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright
