FROM ASHES TO NEW

"Every Second"

[Verse 1: Chris Musser]
I'm broken, I'm hoping for a reason to keep on going
Doors open and closing, everything seems like slow motion
I've chosen this moment to stop my self-erosion
I'm focused on owning, myself - my own opponent

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Musser]
But in this moment that is falling apart, I keep thinking
Is the path I've chosen where I should start I keep sinking?

[Chorus: Chris Musser]
I'm dying every second I'm alive, every second I'm alive
I'm trying to feed the fire that's inside, feed the fire that's inside
I'm dying every second I'm alive, this life's reflection in my eyes
Reminds me the scars made me stronger

[Verse 2: Chris Musser]
I won't go quietly, won't let the past confine me
I don't know why I see what I've tried to put behind me

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Musser]
But in this moment that is falling apart, I keep thinking
Is the path I chose where I should start I keep sinking?

[Verse 3: Matt Brandyberry]
Every second I'm alive I'm getting closer to my grave
I've tried my best to just survive, feels like I'm broken every day
I'm hoping that I make it, I'm open but I'm vacant
I'm closed inside this basement, time to try to fight to shake it
I'm shaking and I'm waiting, still debating on which way to go
I'm swaying and I'm fading, no escaping, still afraid to know
Inside my thoughts are racing so I'm bracing for a weighted stone
The world that's on my shoulders that I may just have to change alone
