Lyrics August Burns Red

August Burns Red

Count It All as Lost

I wanna believe these words are more than letters to me

I want to believe

A covenant to stand the battlefield of time

Many times I've written words holding me to stay pure

Where is the truth in these motions

Afterwards feeling motionless (motionless)

I keep breaking my promises

I keep breaking my word to you and I

I keep breaking my promises

Once again, I'm letting you down

How must a broken man fix his brokenness if he's not the answer?

I can't do this on my own

On my own

I need you here (here)

I need you here (here)

I need you here

Each and every day that passes leaves me worse off than before

Many times I've sworn I wouldn't look back, never look back

Instead of fighting to be a man

I just wanna know who I am

Fighting with my fists leaves me bloody and broken

Almost every single time

so I'm going at it with your strength instead of mine

Please be my strength

so I'm going at it with your strength instead of mine

Please be my strength

I need you here

I need you here!

I've carried this burden long enough

With a heart of conviction

I've betrayed us both

I have to forfeit

The shame is too much to...

Take the lead and reign over me

Reign, reign

Reign over me

Reign, reign

Reign over me

You knew you'd find me here (find me here)

It took me losing sight

To count it all as lost (all as lost)

To see that I'm finally found

Count it all as lost

There's so much more to gain

Count it all as lost

Take the lead and reign over me
