Mashed Up As: Dangerous Business Since 1979 by The Legion Of Doom
I've been up at this all night long
I've been drowning in my sleep
I've prayed for your safe place
And its time for us to leave

Time is running on empty and the gas is running out
I've decided that tonight is the night
That I set love aside
Full speed ahead and this seems to be the place
I've seen this once before
Planned perfection sought in my dreams
Hoping this would take you home

My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
So kiss me one last time

Around this turn where the cross will cast your shadow
The people will all gather
To remember such a bad day where the flames grew as high
As trees
And the world stopped for you and me

My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
So hold on tight
Kiss me one last time
Shut your eyes

I will now bring new meaning to the word alone
Endless nights of dreaming of life
And the days we should have spent here

Drowning in my sleep I'm drowning in my sleep
Glass shatters and comes to a halt
I thought we'd be there by now
I thought it would be so much quicker than this

Pain has never been so brilliant
I made sure you were buckled in
Now you can walk hand in hand with him
They're Only Chasing Safety

FFAF 		Amazing lyrics, so much depth. The ending part where you can hear the melodic "drowning in my sleep" part in the background of the piercing screams may just be as good as it gets.

mandi 		i have a suggestion. you should all just shut the fuck up. leave your comments about the song, not about the band and your opinion of them. if you want to argue with one another please do it somewhere else because truthfully you are all acting like fucking 5 year olds. now if you all would like to leave comments about the band then review the cd, not a song. thank you for your time and i hope you all can get over yourselves!

letsnotshitourselves 		ForsakenLindsey... have you heard anything from this band outside of this album? This is not one of their best. Check out And I Dreamt of you, Alone in December, A Message for Adrienne, When the sun sleeps. Those are some of the best. Not this.

ghostrush 		personally i love the kiss me one last time : think about this most of the peoplle listening to this are pretty young so complicated lytrics to such simple words would be completely pointless the fact that the words are expressed so easily is wat makes you relate which also makes you listen to it.
this is a good song

insomniattack 		I agree with you all that this is a great song, and probably one of UnderOath's best, but not THE best...
Their best song is easily When The Sun Sleeps...
