I used to know this boy. at one point I was pretty good friends with him, we drifted away through the high school years, anyway, that doesn't matter. He spent about,what 12 years of his life in some form of education, anyway, it was gcse's at our school. in his final days of his exams, he was hit by a car. died instantly...

He worked and studied for 95% of his whole life. its not his fault. but he did. he studied and learned to get a "good future" and died before getting there. he is never going to see the world. he did so little to say he has been in the world for 16 years. thats it. he's gone. over. i was told by one of his close friends he was saying a few days before he died: "I'll never die. I'm going to live forever"

And that's just it. no one does. no one lives forever. in fact quite the opposite, our generation are expected to die before our parents. its so hard to break the boundaries that society have put on us, but you have to. I know its hard to be scared about the future, you think you have to work non stop so you can live when your older. but fuck it. your teenage years will be the best years of your life. so go live them. road trips, making music, fucking girls, whatever. just go do it. don't waste your time now for the future. because it may never happen, you may be killed tomorrow. im never going to live my life in the conventional form that is birth, school, college, work, marriage, the grave, FUCK THAT. that is what "this is what the edge of your seat was made for" is about. that's what bring me the horizon is about, good times. "lets not change the subject-lets go chase the sunset, bring me the horizon" meaning stop putting off shit, get off the computer, and go make an unforgettable moment happen with your friends. go get that feeling like when your in a different country and the air is warm and you feel so different.

Devon
Won't go to heaven
She's just another lost soul,
About to be mine again
Leave her
we will receive her
It is beyond your control
will you ever meet again

Devon
No longer living
Who had been rendered unwhole
As a little child,
she was taken
and then forsaken
you will remember it all
Let it blow your mind again

[Chorus:]
Devon lies beyond this portal
take the word of one immortal
Give your soul to me
For eternity
release your life
to begin another time with her
End your grief with me
there's another way
release your life
take your place inside the fire with love

Sever
Now and forever
you're just another lost soul about to be mine again
see her, you'll never free her
you must surrender it all
Would you like to meet again

Fire
All you desire
As she begins to turn cold and run out of time
you will shiver
till you deliver
you will remember it all
Let it blow your mind again

[Chorus]

Give your soul to me
For eternity
release your life
to begin another time with her
End your grief with me
there's another way
release your life
take your place inside the fire with love

Devon
No longer living
Who had been rendered unwhole
As a little child
she was taken,
and then forsaken
you will remember it all
Let it blow your mind again...

There goes my valentine again,
Soaked in red for what she said,
And now she's gone.

Oh my god have I done it again,
There's a pulse and it's deafening.
I can't help what I hear in my head,
It's the switch that I flick they said.

Hand of blood, I don't wanna feel like my heart is breaking.
Hand of blood, I don't wanna see that my life is burning.

I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take, or are you blind and seeing nothing?
(I saw you run) I saw you run away
Is what I've done too much to take or are you scared of being nothing?

There's a stain on my hand and it's red
Oh my god, am I losing it?
I can't help what I've done or I've said
It's the button I push

Hand of blood, I don't wanna feel like my heart is breaking
Hand of blood, I don't wanna see that my life is burning

I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take, or are you blind and seeing nothing?
(I saw you run) I saw you run away,
Is what I've done too much to take or are you scared of being nothing?

[Solo]

No!

I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take or are you blind and seeing nothing?
(I saw you run away) I saw you run away,
Is what I've done too much to take or are you scared of being nothing?
