Avalanche - (Words and music - justin Lavash) Originally recorded on demo album Fits ‘n’ starts (2008), live version appears on Live in Prague 2015

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
