Moving for the Sake of Motion Lyrics

Someone please turn the lights back on
I've been wandering here for days, disconected, and in search for new air to breathe in

I don't think I can fix this
Don't think I could change

But that's the problem
We never speak to Him
Our closing walls have caged us in
And I can't quite remember

This was the first time I didn't say enough
This was the only time I kept it close enough

Brace yourself! They're not waking up

Oh, my God
I hate the me that I've become
this needy useless forgetting one
Truthfully I can't be the me that I've washed up to be

Don't stop breathing
The walls have just being to spin
Just let the water calm you this time
It's all around you, just open your eyes and take a look
It will never kill you; not this time

It's all around you
We're surrounded for all I care

Brace yourself right now
Lights out I'm not breathing
I can't keep swimming, can't keep my head up

ok.. anyways,, this song is bout prayer...and talking to god.."But that's the problem We never speak to Him" and i think its about how ungratefull we are and how we dont make time for god in our everyday lives "Oh my God, I hate the me that I've become. The needy useless, forgetting one Truthfully I can't be the me that I've washed up to be."

UnderOath has definately shown that they are a Christian band with this song. The title to me means that we're just being Christian enough to get by...Moving (being a believer) for the sake of motion (being a "Christian"). Note how I put the quotes around "Christian", because just believing is one thing, but you gotta live your life for Him, and a lot of "Christians" are "dead", we can say. They say "We never speak to Him", which may mean that we never pray, another example of just being a Christian so we can be saved from Fire. To all the "Christians" out there: As they say in "In Regards To Myself", pull yourselves together!

Some Seek Forgiveness and Others Escape is another example of a song that strongly proves their Christian.

The new stuff is so much better than 'They're only Chasing Safety.' In my opinion that is.

Here is goes:

Cries of the Past&&Act of drepression > Changing of times > Define the Great Line > They're Only Chasing Safety.

But I seriously love them. And they're new stuff is amazing.

This is what I hear:

In the end we tend to Think of how it began I could never explain The picture it painted and how it made me feel Now the ceilings in motion The light center and overlooked You wanna see me disappear? Well so do I Well so do I [----------] evaporation

[----------] Is this what makes us alive? I never said this was my Revolution when you're never in line [----------] What a feeble attempt Just to feel alive

This is, For you [indulge your hopeless games] You'll never [win], You'll never [win] Leave me in your words to find every time Every time I try, Every time you

Talk about, talk about it At least it makes you feel something inside [----------] Oh god Everything, everything around me is crumbling at my feet Everything, everything around me is crumbling at my feet I stare so delicate and ashamed [Every time I turned] myself from I stare so delicate and ashamed

[--most of this part doesn't sound right--] [--but I can't make it out--]

And I will never look back And I will never I'll never look back again

Ok, this song was just put up on their Purevolume page, and the lyrics are completely different. Anyone have the real ones?

Look under "Moving for the sake of motion"

Those aren't the right lyrics.

What the heck happened here. No, these aren't the right lyrics. The right ones are currently under "A Moment Suspended in Time"

CD is amazing. Please don't post leaks again, the order was wrong and it screwed it up. Here are the actual lyrics though:

Someone please turn the lights back on We've been wandering in here for days, disconnected and in search for new air to breathe in.

I don't think I can fix this. Don't think I could change.

But that's the problem We never speak to Him Our closing walls have caged us in. And I can't quite remember

This was the first time I didn't say enough. This was the only time I kept it close enough.

Brace yourself! They're not waking up.

Oh my God, I hate the me that I've become. The needy useless, forgetting one Truthfully I can't be the me that I've washed up to be.

Don't stop breathing, the walls have just begun to spin. Just let the water calm you this time. It's all around you just open your eyes and take a look. It will never kill you, not this time.

It's all around you We're surrounded for all I care.

Brace yourself right now. Lights out and I'm not breathing. I can't keep swimming, can't keep my head up.

Is it possible to delete the crap from before?

The leak is obviously completely wrong... I wish people would have just waited for the album. It was worth the wait.
