Avalanche

It was getting real bad, it was hell for a while
They were forcing my hand, I was forcing a smile
I was running on empty trying to keep with the pack
I was saying a prayer they would cut me some slack
Sometimes it feels like you're drowning, then they give you a wave
When you get to the shore, that's when you're gonna get saved
All this speaking in tongues, all those reasons and rhymes
'Til we run out of rope for the lifeline

Hold out your hand with the olive branch
Hold on to your hats, boys
Here comes the avalanche
Here comes the avalanche
Here comes the avalanche

I was feeling so old, I was fighting for breath
I was counting the days, I was looking like death
I was pushing the boat out, getting out of line
Put your hand on your heart, say it ain't justified
Sometimes it feels like you're flying, then they chop you a line
Sometimes they call it a living, but we both know it's dying
We both know it's dying

So hold out your hand with the olive branch
Hold on to your hats, boys
Here comes the avalanche
Here comes the avalanche
Here comes the avalanche
Ah, here comes the avalanche
Ah, here comes the avalanche

So hold out your hand with the olive branch
Hold on to your hats, boys
Here comes the avalanche
Ah, hold on to your hats, boys
Here comes the avalanche
Here comes the avalanche
Here comes the avalanche
Ah, here comes the avalanche
Here comes the avalanche
Here comes the avalanche
Here comes the avalanche
Here comes the avalanche
