Sevendust - The Past Lyrics






Beneath the water
that's falling from my eyes
lays a soul I've left behind
the edge of sorrow was reached but now I'm fine
I've filled the hole I had inside

I'll pray it doesn't scream my name
so I light a flame and let it breathe
the air that kills the shame

I'm up
I'm down
like a rollercoaster racing through my life
I've erased the past again

a risky morning
I feel like I'm alive
I can't believe I've made it through this time
the edge of sorrow I lived in for some time
(lived in for some time)
has left the hole I have inside

The burden is I try my hate
was the last thing I ever felt
or thought I could escape

I'm up
I'm down
like a rollercoaster racing through my life
I've erased the past again
[x2]

You let me in then broke me down
the difference is this time around
I will not let you see me try

I'm up
I'm down
like a rollercoaster racing through my life
I've erased the past again
[x2]

Erased the past again now
Erased the past again

Beneath the water
that has fallen from my eyes

Sevendust The Past Comments
  1. E.... R....

    Finally, after all these years, I could find out who sang this song.

  2. D.... P....

    Definitely a Daughtr-ish song! It's weird how it wasn't included in a Daughtry album. Be that as it may, it's an awesome rock ballad! 🎸 🎼 🎧 🎵

  3. s.... g....

    I would listen to this song multiple times a day when it first came out. Sevendust is such s great band!

  4. D.... H....

    this is my new all-time favorite song

  5. B.... C....

    If casey anthony had this playing repetative before she killed that child, does that mean she killed a child or person before her free ride? That bitch should have been murdered just like she did that child.

  6. S.... C....

    Living in the past doesnt extend your experiences before dying in the future.... It simply rinse & repeats the same cycle....giving you less experiences and less life lived.

  7. C.... 1....

    P2TG she can always come back home 🏡

  8. B.... b....

    Wonderful song! Loved it for 10 years!

  9. C.... G....

    Now that's the shit. Kill u haters let me see u try

  10. V.... ....

    Guess only the universe knows why had to happen this way & Can’t say I didn’t try though. But as much as it hurts...gonna be okay now....💔😥

  11. M.... M....

    Worst Sevendust song ever...but still an ok song.

    M.... M....

    Definitely not their best, that's for sure.

    M.... M....

    To each their own, but I think it's great they're branching out and collaborating with other artists.

    M.... M....

    It definitely sounds like Daughtry predominantly wrote it.

  12. B.... G....

    I got this song from Casey Anyhony Story about Caley. She listened to this song everyday and now that makes the lyrics creepy. RIP CASEY ANTHONY 😇

    B.... G....

    I found this song the same way. She killed Caylee, no doubt about it. Sick bitch.

    B.... G....

    I found this song the same way. I watched the hole trial last week. Greetings from germany! Now I'm watch the chris watts case

  13. D.... A....

    Been a Seven Dust Fan since back in the day I am a Old Head Banger 54 now

  14. H.... S....

    LaJon and Chris sound so amazing together!!!

    H.... S....

    Hollie Smith oh please, put Chris Daughtry in anything and it’ll sound good

    H.... S....

    @Tristan Dotson agree with that Chris can sing anything and make it sound good. Love his voice

    H.... S....

    Lisa Cummings Lajon is a good artist tho 👨‍🎤

  19. H.... M....

    I'm going to see Sevendust this Saturday at Revolution Rock Festival.

    H.... M....

    What was it like?

  20. N.... H....

    Two great artists, One song... can't get much better than this

    N.... H....

    Night Hawk the song with Miles Kennedy. 3 tracks after this. I believe called sorrow

  21. K.... M....

    1:16 A risky morning? I believe they say "Brisky Morning" as in cold morning.

    K.... M....

    Embrace the morning is what its supposed to be.

    K.... M....

    risky morning. speaks of waking up with thoughts of self harm, and the pain an suffering of such a life in such a dark depression are hazardous to one's existance.

  22. J.... N....

    great song so much meaning

  23. P.... B....

    I really like the lyrics...

  24. 7.... S....

    Awesome band.

  25. R.... ....
