A Lesson on Self‐Preservation Songtext
von The Last Ten Seconds of Life

A lesson on self-preservation, embrace yourself
Block out the ill will of fools
Time will swallow, you stay sovereign and in control

I present to you a lesson learned
Things will only get worse because it never gets better
Survive by seeking others
Who dwell in the darkness just like you

Investigate and educate on the words of man (Tall tales)
Do not bite the hand that feeds, rip it off (King killed)
Numb yourself from pain that will never heal (Cheap thrills)
Redefine the struggle and change your ways (Iron will)

Open your eyes to the first day of the rest of your life


A lesson on self-preservation, embrace yourself
Block out the ill will of fools
Time will swallow, you stay sovereign and in control

Blue skies fill my mind
Let go, break all binds
Why were my wings cut?
Let go in good time

A lesson learned, things will only get worse
Because it never gets better
Survive by seeking others
Who dwell in the darkness just like you

Open your eyes to the first day of the rest of your life
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
