Lyrics Lifeline (Left To Write) - The Color Morale

Lifeline (Left To Write)

Without our ups and downs
We’re all just living dead
I put my pulse on paper
Because I want out from inside of my head
Don’t write yourself off
Say what you think and mean what you say
Unless you’re OK living life
With a pulse that’s flatlining
I guess we only get a chance
To write our stories once
We need to look back and say
That one time was plenty enough
Are we confusing our heart with our mind?
Are they on the same page or did
We write one off and push the other behind?
Take me anywhere but here
Away from these insecurities I fear
Take me anywhere but here
Just make sure if you are the one that will have me
You know just what you’re taking
You know you had a darkness inside
Floor to sky, left to write
It was on the record we made last time
And any writer writes afraid of the next line
To put down on paper the things
He’s tried to erase in his mind
And I am no longer afraid of mine
A writer that found a reason for the pain inside
A word is dead when it’s said, some say
I say it just began to live that day
I said it once I’ll say it again
Maybe you weren’t listening
I said it once I’ll say it again
To live backwards isn’t evil, it’s rewriting
Take me anywhere but here
Away from these insecurities I fear
Take me anywhere but here
Just make sure if you are the one that will have me
You know just what you’re taking
I said it once
I’ll say it again
I said it once
I’ll say it again
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
The best stories are written
When they’re spent rewriting
