lyrics

Avalanche - (Words and music - justin Lavash)

It was getting real bad
it was hell for a while
They were forcing my hand
I was forcing a smile

I was running on empty
trying to keep with the pack
I was saying a prayer
they would cut me some slack

Sometimes it feels like you're drowning
and they give you a wave
but when you get to the shore
that's when you're going to get saved

All that speaking in tongues
all those reasons and rhymes
did we run out of rope for the lifeline?

So hold out your hand with the olive branch
hold on to your hats, boys
Here comes the avalanche

Here comes the avalanche
Here comes the avalanche
Here comes the avalanche

I was feeling so old
I was fighting for breath
I was counting the days
I was looking like death

I was pushing the boat out
getting out of line
Put your hand on your heart
Say it ain't justified

Sometimes it feels like you're flying
Then they chop you a line
Sometimes they call it a living
but we both know it's dying

So I hold out my hand with the olive branch
hold on to your hats, boys
Here comes the avalanche

Here comes the avalanche
Here comes the avalanche
Here comes the avalanche

<break>

So I hold out my hand with the olive branch
hold on to your hats, boys
Here comes the avalanche

Here comes the avalanche
Here comes the avalanche
Here comes the avalanche

His music crosses borders - somewhere between blues, folk and jazz. His phenomenal guitar playing has left many audiences wondering how so much polyphony can be made by one man on one instrument. ... more
