Lyrics Stand Amid the Roar - Silverstein

A side of temperance, an appetite for excess
I'm burning down like your cigarette

(You had me cornered) You had me at goodbye
(I lived to watch you) I loved to see you slip away
(I enjoyed captivity) Starring at a car crash
We kill at weddings and life for funerals
We're taking steps on the water just to show
We do whatever we want to

How
Did I forget who I was
Did I forget just where I came from

Did I just lose who I am
This is the line I stand
A feast of apathy, a shot of angst
(I brought you to safety)
I carried you away
(Taking all your blame)

I dropped you in the gutter
(Hid you and protected)
Just to watch you scream
We save with violence and lie with eloquence
We're turning wine into water with abhorrence
We'll save whoever we want to

How
Did I forget who I was
Did I forget just where I came from

Did I just lose who I am
This is the fine line I stand
I'm not so confident
I'm gonna be the one
Who takes the next step

I'm a cyclone, passion overblown
Tied to the tides that pull me in the undertow
Where the wind blows
Is where my body's thrown
And I can't fight it

Maybe we should walk away from this
Take our proverbial walk into the sunset
Maybe we are destined to be different

We were designed for more resilience than this...
But we don't know how and we live in the now
If we were smarter maybe we would try to fake it
Maybe we should walk away from this
And stop being ourselves
Just stop being yourself
If you want to be happy
How
Did I forget who I was
Did I forget just where I came from
Did I just lose who I am
This is the fine line I stand
Amid the roar
This is the fine line I stand
Amid the roar
This is the fine line I...
