Hotel Books - Lungs Lyrics






Scream hallelujah until you cough up blood
Cause the devil came for our minds but left with our love
so I looked into myself for something I knew nothing about
found no solutions but found a lot of doubt
and slowly found out my heart was a trap door
waiting for the right one to fall in the center
so she would take a final bow and become mine forever
I found a pocket of comfort and acceptance and called it love
but it was just another season that would end with leaves falling in the mud
so we found ourselves in the new world where we would have to live out of fear and call it living by faith
a journey of forgetting who we are so we could remember our place
and we tried to read maps backwards that lead us back to the beginning
of the journey the only place we could walk hand on hand, and not feel so lonely
then those maps of tangled lines became our footprints and sinking sand
were being washed away by ways of trusting each other to feel complete
but we came up short until we both felt alone and empty with no breadcrumbs laid down to lead us back to safety
we thought this was built to last until we died but even that doesn't mean forever
at least not in my mind
trust in my ability to love more than I trust in love
and I trust in your smile as your emotion not a mask to cover up your hands
scooping up buckets of blood
we would travel far and see many new things and we believe we could be anything as long as we have each other
but the bother came when another stayed long enough to give you the feeling I did when this journey began and now our hands are completely stained red as we journey seeing new country roads connected to the broken dreams of simple family's the roads lined with animals waiting for their turn at the slaughter
a reality on the roads we see are metaphors for our sons and daughters cause the blood on our hands was the only way to keep the roots of our love watered
and we have nothing to believe in but we still wanted to die martyrs
and when someone came to carry me on the journey the blood of our past flooding our beliefs I watched someone come along and part the red sea
but even on dry land I couldn't breathe cause my body built an immunity to your empathy and that's all I needed to believe love was still the reason that I could stand on my own two feet
scream hallelujah
until you cough up blood
I inhaled this world so long
I tore out my lungs
I tore out my lungs
I tore out my lungs

  1. S.... t....

    Yall lucky if you have 2 lungs, I can't really exercise like someone with 2. I have my left lung

    S.... t....

    Do you watch Malcolm In The Middle? There's a kid on the show with only one lung.

    But more importantly, thanks. I remembered how lucky I am to have what I have. I truly hope you stay happy despite the battles you face. ❤

    hotel books means everything to me, i feel so complete when i’m listening to them.

  4. D.... S....

    People commenting saying how he sounds like Being As An Ocean and La Dispute; do you all have ears? Two different feels entirely, not to mention genres. This is spoken word. Being As An Ocean is not even close. La Dispute is terrible. I don't like them.

    D.... S....

    Desolate Soul then fuck off Broo

  5. I.... O....

  16. S.... S....

    Sounds super similar to sooo many bands. Even his voice. Not saying this is bad, but I wish it sounded more originalll.

    S.... S....

    +Leila Duarte that's how I felt too.. my Husband and I were going to divorce and it just broke me.. I was in the hospital and almost commuted suicide but Hotel Book's words helped me through it all. I had a lot of support and love but i dodnt want it.. I just wanted to starve myself and be depressed but Hotel Book's was there for me to listen to and give me faith that things would get better. &they did get better ❤ I will forver be greatful for them!

    a.... s....

    They're a good reason to be alive:)

    a.... s....

    Mine is Crywolf. I've only recently got introduced to Hotel Books, but the energy of these compositions, the rare emotions, straight forward lyrics - that's what got my attention, and that is the reason why I keep coming back to these pieces of art.
    Stay strong, people. There's a reason to fight. We just need some time to figure it out, but we will.

  19. T.... R....

    Being As an Ocean is Melodic Hardcore. This is Spoken Word Poetry which has been around for fuckin years. You people are idiots. Why do you all have to compare bands? who cares who started it? its fucking MUSIC

  20. J.... G....

    Check out my friends band third coast they do this same genre

  21. T.... M....

    hey instead of bitching about what band did what, lets just listen to this talented band because are you truly listening to what is being said? clearly not if you still manage to bitch about who did what and this and that

  22. N.... G....

    Spoken word is making it into the music industry now. Woohoo

  23. c.... h....

    Scream hallelujah till you cough up blood the devil came for our minds but left with our love<3

  24. A.... M....

    how can anyone criticize the genre, its originals, who started what and whos better? you cant compare his words. His feelings? how dare you lol.
    This guy opens my heart.  

  25. T.... G....

    Listener, La Dispute, Touché Amoré, BAAO all came before this. I still don't mind this, will give some more of it a listen.

    T.... G....

    shut up

    T.... G....

    Listen September - Fall Asleep, Hearts Like Mountains, Carry On Kid...

    T.... G....

    +Tim Gledhill Who the fuck cares that these people came before it? People can do the same gene so I don't see why it matters who did this first.

    T.... G....

    I've never heard anyone look at a Taylor swift song and say "okay but the Beatles sang songs way before this"

    T.... G....

    I actually don't like La Dispute. Hotel Books is better in my opinion.

  26. K.... S....

    😍😘💕

  27. L.... ....

    BAAO is better and started this genre. Nice to see new bands trying it out!

    L.... ....

    YOU ARE A STUPID PERSON WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT MUSIC GENRES 

    L.... ....

    lol not only can they not be compared, but BAAO definitely did not start this genre. La Dispute is very similar and even they didn't start the genre and they've been around for years.

    L.... ....

    Your ignorance makes me cry.

    L.... ....

    @Linx_165 no.

    L.... ....

    Are you high?

  28. b.... ....

    Oh I see.. Everyone is starting this. Go listen to Being As An Ocean.

    b.... ....

    TRUE THAT!!

    b.... ....

    Try La Dispute first buddy

  29. C.... B....

    Beautiful lyrics

  30. j.... a....

    They are like la dispute i love it 😬

  31. E.... L....

    IT TORN OUT MY LUNGS <3 <3

  32. c.... ....

    Not a fan of the song as a whole but I thoroughly enjoyed how unproduced and raw it sounded.

  33. G.... V....

    Wow, this is good.

  34. N.... W....

    Pure art.
