Vital Signs Songtext
von August Burns Red

This building is barely standing on its own foundation.
On its own foundation.

I′ve collapsed its lungs, calloused its heart
And sucked the life out of this for all of sunday to see.
For all of sunday to see.
I've collapsed its lungs, calloused its heart
And sucked the life out of this for all of sunday to see.
For all of sunday to see.

I′ve taken the breath out of everything they believe
I've taken the breath out of everything they hold true.
Everything they hold true.


Preaching to the deaf and blind, no one sees my effort.
Preaching to the deaf and blind, no one gets the point.
No one sees my effort, no one gets the point.

Welcome to my dying home
Welcome inside these crumbling walls.
A meaningless handshake greets them all with smiles of false hope.
Welcome to my dying home
Welcome inside these crumbling walls.

Do I even care as I watch a sea of people
Dwindling into an audience of skin and bones?
An audience who doesn't have the strength to walk out
On a man who has tarnished their faith?
I′ve taken the breath out of everything they believe
I′ve taken the breath out of everything they hold true.
Preaching to the deaf and blind, no one sees my effort.
Preaching to the deaf and blind, no one gets the point.
