Cutthroat Collapse Lyrics
TIME RUNS OUT

Those words seemed so sincere
and I've been so lonely here
I find myself lost in escape

Marked by hands I held as my anchor
But in your shallow sea I drown

I can still hear the trees
at my back and haunting me.
Unafraid, unaffected,
this has all gone so wrong.
Under this December sky,
I walked away compromised,
counting steps, of what’s left
to bring this all to an end

Outside you will find the ring that once belonged to me
(Just give me one reason why
well maybe some other time)
Sharing space with her face
(You think this all is a game,
it’s not a game to me)
pictures on the drivers seat


So now we we will both kill the messenger
It's such a blur
you didn’t even see
this meant everything to me

Invisible, plans you made
deconstruct me
Tethered to the dream of you
but disappearing

If it’s grey then
just leave it
some colors start bleeding
So guard yourself
that’s what my folks used to say
Defended your secrets
claiming past loves and regrets
The ambition was hidden
to shield yourself from the blame

Outside you will find the ring that once belonged to me
(Just give me one reason why
well maybe some other time)
Sharing space with her face
(You think this all is a game,
it’s not a game to me)
pictures on the drivers seat

Your failing words once moved heaven and earth
But now they can’t make me believe

Invisible, plans you made
deconstruct me
Tethered to the dream of you
but disappearing

Those words seemed so sincere,
in this shallow sea I drown.

You want to run and hide to catch your breath
(This can’t be happening)
But why don’t you come inside and capture all that’s left
(This can’t be happening)
Capture all that’s left
(Oh, but this is happening)
I don’t want to wait for this
A ruined list, the longing kiss
Making all the moments last
As if we had, the sentiment

Yearning for the sound
Breaking from the crowd
Leaving all the cynics
Racing for the finish

Time runs
Time runs
Time runs
time runs out

If I should die
if I should. (x4)

This is awesome. Definitely reminds me of their old stuff- can't wait for the new album too. I read somewhere that Toby said this song was about being in a relationship and making it your whole life, and these kind of relationships usually end up in doom, such a great thing becomes a tragedy.

There's so much emotion in this song, really. It kind of makes me want to dance and scream at the same time. <.> I think my favorite lines are these:

Your failing words once moved heaven and earth
But now they can't make me believe

Well,of course im no expert on interpeting the meanings behind Emerys songs... but I think this has something to do with a Marriage or something of the sort... "Outside you will find the ring that once belonged to me"... and that the girl in the relationship knows she is doing something wrong "claiming past loves and regrets" and when he says "if its grey then just leave it some colors start bleeding" maybe he just wants her to leave the grey areas of her life out of this new relationship and when he says "Some colors start bleeding" that means she is brining up the grey areas of her past love life. I just thought of giving it a shot ty for reading! and please I hope someone else trys to interpret this

I think it's about a guy who was obsessing over a relationship, and the girl broke his heart. Now this is him overreacting to it "if I should die."
