City And Colour - Live Forever lyrics

rate me

The time will come when we are all condemned for what we've doneThe time will comeI say the times begun to pay for our crimes no time to runIt's sundown these days are the final onesLooking dumbfounded staring in the eye of a gunAnd we all scared to die we all fear the Paul BearerAll scared to cry we all fear our salt tearsBut why were we living so miserableCan't get along why is forgiving so difficultWhy we live alone what we living for is criticalSomeone give some hope that's breath for our living soulsEven if your physical can't breathe stand up and leadMe and my band of brothers advance under siegeMove towards the future the commander and chiefPlant a flag on this soul call if land of the freeEvery day both rich and poor wonder what we living forWe're gonna live foreverWhat we gonna live forWe're gonna live foreverWhat we gonna live forWe're gonna live foreverWhat we gonna live forWe're gonna live foreverWhat we gonna live forWe're gonna liveWe're gonna liveYou never know how your legends gonna grow laterWhen we go it's our ghost that they are so afraid ofI try to flow greater cause most conscience sold food for thoughtsLike tofu no flavorSo when I roll through it's so smooth like a pro skaterOr a boat cruise bringing change toll boothPlayer thought they told you I'm old schoolStudent of the game let me show you a whole new grade upAll my single ladies here's a couple linesLove takes two people love one mindHere's one year if you give it six monthsYou only live once this is double timeEssentially bring the energy of Busta RhymesSo it doesn't die like Curtis on touch the skyAnd when the smoke finally clears we're gonna rise above the ashWe're gonna liveWe're gonna liveWe're gonna live foreverWhat we gonna live forWe're gonna live foreverWhat we gonna live forWe're gonna live foreverWhat we gonna live forWe're gonna live foreverWhat we gonna live forWe're gonna liveWe're gonna liveLike thisI can't sweat trying to make the coolest impressionTrying to get power is a foolish obsessionWhy use talent as a tool for oppressionA real king ain't got to rule with a weaponDog what if we went to school for possession instead of jailThey say to stop the crazy talk Shad we never willI guess I still believe love can never failCross eyes on heaven looking crazy as hellMaybe I dwell too much on legacy destinyLike I could ever read what's on the headstone ahead of meBut in my head I see we are carving the lettersEveryday that thought makes me live for the betterThe truth comes out but it starts at the centerThe heart of the matter is the matter of the heartThe hearts made of matter that you can't measureThat matters beyond measure like light when it travels in the dark
