Glitches Lyrics
Every Time I Die vocalist Keith Buckley shared with Alternative Press: I wrote what would eventually become the lyrics to “Glitches” after the terrorist attack in Paris when it was revealed to me just how… Read More [Verse 1]
So long to young love, I've anchored my heart
Farewell to small joys, I've burned down the bar
I'm changing my name so I don't do no harm
Some say it's vanity, some say it's charm
[Refrain]
No levels, still the same old devils
[Verse 2]
Frightened of fear, a servant of time
Kidnapped the queen, I have angered the hive
Snuffed out the star with celestial winds
Ended a cycle that started again
I stopped going out, they kept coming in
Was I saving my soul or saving my skin?
[Refrain]
No levels, still the same old devils
[Verse 3]
Can't hold it close, can't let it go
Prisons and basements in slick model homes
I'm just a day-tripper on sacred terrain
My transformation went from mangled to tame
I don't feel different but I don't feel the same
I'm afloat with an ear to the ground
I built a fortress with some books and a phrase
I felt some heat, so I came out of the haze
I saw the end and I was truly afraid
I have begged but I'm still not allowed

Catch the rat
[Verse 4]
Flew home and left the unknown in the lurch
Kept finding bodies, I called off the search
Went to a hymn from a funeral dirge
Church in the hospital, dog in the church
[Refrain]
No levels, still the same old devils
[Verse 5]
Shepherd me back, this time I know
I don't know nothing, I'm not in control
[Outro]
Mindful but gutless
Mindful but gutless
Mindful but gutless
Mindful but gutless
There's no need to panic
No need to panic
