"Distress Rehearsal" lyrics - EVERY TIME I DIE

Practice devastation
Play it all out in your mind
Feel the light as it hits your face
Of the apocalypse streamlined

Envision obliteration
Every last detail
Blast wind blows, breathe it in, let it go
A tragedy that's so big, it cannot fail

I've done it so many times
I've got the future memorized
I can feel the ache in their eyes
The mourning's amplified
Mourning's amplified
So imagine my surprise
Imagine my surprise

I was not prepared for this, no
I had not expected this so
I must try to cope with wasted
Time killed by an agonizing lie
Agonizing lie
Agonizing lie

A hypothetical horror show
But now there's beauty all around me
What's happening? (What's happening?)
What's happening? (What's happening?)

Now I'm left with all this lightness
Now I'm left with all this lightness
Left out here with all this lightness
Left out here with all this grace

Imagine my surprise

I thought my heart would break
I thought it would break but it started healing
It was more than I could take
So I gave it everything
I thought I'd never wake
It got so dark that I started dreaming
It was more than I could take
So I gave it all I had left

I was not prepared for this, no
I had not expected this so
I must try to cherish all this time, time, time

Lose your life and you will find it
Lose your life and you will find it
Lose your life and you will find it waiting in her merciful eyes

All sins absolved
And they will never look back
All sins absolved
And they will never look back

Master without his master plan
