Gospel Youth, The - Afloat Lyrics






I remember what it felt like to be saved
From all the hang-ups that I had when I was 16 years of age
10 years on and I still haven't found my place
To call my own, in bliss, something I'll never replace

But I've never felt any comfort in my skin
I've been breaking all of my bones just to fit in
Breathing in the sea, the air, the coast
The city's what I fear the most
I just don't know where to begin
I just don't know where to begin

I never said enough when it mattered most
This feline's got a hold on, onto my tongue
Her claws are buried deep, and so far I'm paralysed
Lose or win, sink or swim, just keep me afloat

But I've never felt any comfort in my skin
I've been breaking all of my bones just to fit in
Breathing in the sea, the air, the coast
The city's what I fear the most
I just don't know where to begin
I just don't know where to begin

I'm a shell of who I once was
Letting down the ones I love
I'm hiding from and never talking to strangers
I know that we've all been hurt before
And the pain, it never heals
We pick ourselves up off the floor
And tell ourselves that we'll never do this again

But I've never felt any comfort in my skin
I've been breaking all of my bones just to fit in
Breathing in the sea, the air, the coast
The city's what I fear the most
I just don't know where to begin
I just don't know where to begin

  1. f.... ....

    Thought a new Deaf Havana song came on randomly when listening to this whole EP on Spotify... Love this band and EP though (and also Deaf Havana too)

  2. A.... L....

    wow , ARMOR FOR SLEEP + A DAY TO REMEMBER + SEMISONIC cool .... i just download the songs from spotify

  3. T.... C....

    Band is awesome. Singer is good. Huge boots to fill but just doesn't do it for me.
    The band is playing amazing riffs etc but the vocals just don't have the catchy hooks that Sam used to bring. Just my opinion.
    Dude can sing. Just hasn't got the imagination Sam did.

    T.... C....

    Completely agree. Sam has something that no one can replace. Sucks we can’t hear those vocals anymore. But I’ll support the band, like you said, they are awesome

  4. M.... ....

    This song is the best I’ve ever heard. Holy-

  5. V.... P....

    Great song!!!

  6. C.... L....

    OH DAYYYYUM 🔥🔥

  7. �.... ....

    i love yall 😭😭💘

  8. R.... N....

    R.... N....

    enjoy the rain, umbrella hater

  9. d.... ....

    Just wow!

  10. M.... ....

    Wow, this still sounds like The Gospel Youth and im so glad it does! My most streamed band this year. Cant wait for the EP!

    M.... ....

    It's only song that really does

    M.... ....

    @Darren The Tuber Yeah this and Thoughtless. The hyper drumming isn't really my thing sadly.

    M.... ....

    @MrVleker it's the kind of drumming you hear in easy-core alot, it's like a weird gallop beat, I know it originated from skate punk and early hardcore. I never liked it

    M.... ....

    @Darren The Tuber I see it more as typical Punk drumming, and in some songs I don't mind it but I just really liked the style TGY had on their previous albums (kinda unique or so) and they have showed they can still write songs like that so I don't get why they would go this route, since it has been done so many times already. Lets see what they bring in the future though!

  11. �.... ....

    May I have the lyrics please?!?!?
    Love 💕

    �.... ....

    I've been trying to figure them out but i can't hear everything clearly. This is what i have so far!


    I remember what it felt like to be saved
    From all the .... that I had
    When I was sixteen years of age
    Ten years on and i still havent found my place
    To call my own and
    .. something ...

    But I never found any comfort in my skin
    Ive been breaking all of my bones
    Just to fit in

    Breathing in the sea, the air, the coast
    The city is what i fear the most
    I just dont know where to begin
    I just dont know where to begin

    �.... ....

    Lyrics are in the description now!

    �.... ....

    This band is one of the only bands that can make me depressed and happy at the same time.

  13. C.... D....

    Amazing, can't wait for more

  14. L.... B....

    Oh my!!!! This was exellent!! When will it drop on Spotify?

  15. m.... ....

    Welcome back lads, decent song - really sharp recording as per usual - I especially liked the panning percussion gimmicks in the intro. Give the song a 6/10 - looking forward to hearing the rest of the EP.

  16. m.... ....

    I'm freaking out at how good this is. GODDAMN
