Underoath - Survivor's Guilt (Official Video)

Survivor's Guilt

This is survivor's guilt

Seven years I'm eight down in ‘23

I would have gone with them if it was up to me

A sand empire is what I've built, now I'm stuck here with survivor's guilt


We used to cut lines together

So we'd have a story to tell

It's not like I did any better

Just dodged a bullet from hell


I'm not sleeping

They're all leaving

I'm still bleeding

I'm still screaming


Guilt, guilt, guilt tied around your neck

Covered up so you won't forget

That you wasted the best of your days

It was all just for nothing

Guilt, guilt, guilt, yeah, you’re on your own

A rent-free nightmare in your bones

Beautiful people are taken

Open your eyes

We remember our own

Two fingers pressed against my neck

I wish I could just trust my friends

Instead I'm such a wasted space, my God it never ends


It’s too damn bad

I can’t get enough blood on my hands

I think I made it up, I’m going mad

Another empire that I built

I guess this is survivor's guilt


Guilt, guilt, guilt tied around your neck

Covered up so you won't forget

That you wasted the best of your days

It was all just for nothing

Guilt, guilt, guilt, yeah, you’re on your own

A rent-free nightmare in your bones

Beautiful people are taken

Open your eyes

We remember our own


We got it all but we’re stuck in the trenches,

Crying for help but it’s just two feet deep

Losing limbs might be part of the process, what happens next is a choice that ain’t cheap

When we all go extinct

Don't remember our names

Cause we closed our eyes

Let life pass us by

We carry the blame



Guilt, guilt tied around your neck

Was it all just for nothing

Was it all just for nothing

Guilt, guilt tied around your neck

Was it all just for nothing

It was all just for nothing
