Asking Alexandria are a British metalcore band from York, North Yorkshire. Founded in 2008 when Ben Bruce (lead guitar) contacted his old companions upon returning to the UK after residing in Dubai. The current line-up of the group consists of Ben Bruce (lead guitar), Danny Worsnop (vocals), Cameron Liddell (rhythm guitar), Sam Bettley (bass guitar) and James Cassells (drums).
Asking Alexandria have their roots in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, wherein guitarist Ben Bruce started a band and released one full-length album (titled The Irony of Your Perfection) with the group under the name Asking Alexandria. The band shortly afterwards broke-up and Bruce made a statement at a later date that the band known as Asking Alexandria from Dubai only had the name for about a month before leading to their disbandment, hence the band never embarked on a tour.
In 2008, Bruce moved back to the UK, leaving behind his former bandmates. However, Bruce had no plans on putting his musical career on hold and not long after the move he started fresh with new members, though deciding to carry on the name Asking Alexandria. Bruce has stated that he was the one that created this title, that he still liked it and the meaning/reason behind the name still remained, and therefore decided to continue it in the new project., He also made an emphasised statement in the same blog post that the current Asking Alexandria is not the same band that wrote The Irony of Your Perfection, in style nor members, hence they are two different bands, despite their links. The same statement has been emphasised in interviews and is known to still be a confusion to many fans.
Alexandria (Arabic: الإسكندرية Al Iskandariyya, Coptic: Ⲣⲁⲕⲟⲧⲉ Rakotə, Greek: Αλεξάνδρεια Alexándria, Koine Greek: Ἀλεξάνδρεια ἡ κατ' Αἴγυπτον IPA: [ɑlɛˈksɑndɾiɑ e kɑt ˈɛʝypton] "Alexandria in Egypt", Egyptian Arabic: اسكندريه [eskendeˈrejːæ]) is the second-largest city of Egypt, with a population of 4.1 million, extending about 32 km (20 mi) along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea in the north central part of the country; it is also the largest city lying directly on the Mediterranean coast. It is Egypt's largest seaport, serving approximately 80% of Egypt's imports and exports. Alexandria is also an important tourist resort. It is home to the Bibliotheca Alexandrina (the new Library of Alexandria). It is an important industrial centre because of its natural gas and oil pipelines from Suez.
Alexandria was founded around a small pharaonic town c. 331 BC by Alexander the Great. It remained Egypt's capital for nearly a thousand years, until the Muslim conquest of Egypt in AD 641, when a new capital was founded at Fustat (Fustat was later absorbed into Cairo). Alexandria was known because of its Lighthouse of Alexandria (Pharos), one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World; its library (the largest library in the ancient world); and the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages. Ongoing maritime archaeology in the harbor of Alexandria, which began in 1994, is revealing details of Alexandria both before the arrival of Alexander, when a city named Rhacotis existed there, and during the Ptolemaic dynasty.
Ben Bruce Blakeney (1908 – March 4, 1963) was an American lawyer.
Served during the Second World War in the Pacific theatre. In 1946–1948 served as a defence councel at the Tokyo War Crimes Trial, and defended Shigenori Tōgō, General Yoshijirō Umezu and Admiral Soemu Toyoda, who was found not guilty. Among his arguments were that aggressive war could not be defined as a crime under international law. In 1949, he began work as a lecturer of law at Tokyo University. He was killed in a plane crash in 1963.
Bruce James is an American social worker and Democratic party politician from Clifton, New Jersey. Originally elected in 2005, James currently serves as the Director of the Passaic County (New Jersey) Board of Chosen Freeholders.
In 1997 he completed what he described as his "life's dream" and met several Liberian politicians. Mr. James has always had an interest in Liberia, and he described meeting Prince Johnson as "amazing" and in January 2011 he announced his "total backing" of Prince Johnson's claim for presidncy
I'm so done with it I won't go back again and
I'm okay with this, that I'll be on my own
Until the day i die which shouldn't be that long
So I'll just do what I do and make the most of it
I won't fall down again
My heart's now dead and gone
And I'm still breathing
I made it out alive
Oh fuck this is fun I just can't believe I didn't find this before
To just indulge even if it kills me
Who gives a fuck if we die
Another Bottle Down!
You should really try it sometime
Cos it feels to good
Without a care if a heart gets broken
You'll all learn in the end that there's a better way
Baby move in closer, you couldn't hurt me if you tried
I won't fall down again
My heart's now dead and gone
And I'm still breathing
I made it out alive
Take a seat my dear
Make yourself comfortable this could take a while
Crack another, dear
I can't see now and I wouldn't change a thing
Life should burn with such a fucking flame
Let's get away cure your fast pain.
What a perfect way to ruin this day.
What a killing, with a lot of blood put away.
Without back in my bone.
The sarcastic self will save me
Where'd it go, where'd it to go, where'd it go, where'd it go? Okay!
The voice we need to talk, to talk, where'd it go, where'd it go?
Let the break house burn.
Let me take a cam and fly
Let it carry us from the worst.
It's 2 am.
You're fast asleep.
I'm watching you weep, and dream away your inspiration...
Oh no... you're drifting away...
I'm all alone, but I'm still writing to you.
And now I travel from all the way from hell
We're back again
Let's make a toast
And raise your glasses high
To everyone of you who doubted us
We're back again
Let's make a toast
And raise your glasses high
It's been so long
that I haven't seen your face
I'm trying to be strong
but the strength I have is washing away
It won't be long
before I get you by my side
and just hold you, tease you, squeeze you, tell you what's been on my mind

1, 2, 3, 4!
(All the things that she said, was it all in my head?)
Come on, baby,
Keep it down.
Honey, hush your lips.
Clothes trailing
From the backdoor
To the bedroom
And I don't even know your name.
Give me all you've got.
Make this night worth my time,
Make this worth my time (oh!)
What I would give to live this night again!
I knew when I first saw you,
You'd fuck like a whore!
You'd fuck like a whore!
Hope they hear you scream for more! (yeah!)
Your thighs were made for cheeks to graze.
My lips, your poison,
They bring you to your knees.[x2]
Ah, come on!
Girl, get down,
It's almost over!
Take it all the way!
You stupid fucking whore!
And after all of all my dreaming being only you,
You're standing there, baby, oh,
The things that I could do!
Back to the wall with a drink in my hand!
Back it up, baby, ride, ride, ride!
One step too late
And I never told you
That I can't take
Another disappointment.
Breathing and grasping all leads to another messy ending.
Breathing and grasping all leads to another messy ending.
Ten inch!
With your back against the wall!
With your face buried in the pillow!
I see you cold!
I feel you heartless!
Bitch!
You stupid fucking bitch!
You stupid fucking bitch!
Paint your lips blue
Murder artistry
Heartbreak and romance
The cold is what you need for events such as this
It's better being numb if you're cracking at the heart
Pick up the rhythm, the timing that you'll need
Tonight's final serenade, it's time to take your leave
Dance the routine
And your romance is warm inside
Your heartbeat's racing
Heartbreak is cold when you
Don't dance, dream, sing our song
Come get some
Everything stops
Everything starts
Give me your hand
One on one
Two on two
Three on three
Dance step four
The cold is what you need for events such as this
It's better being numb if you're breaking at the heart
Pick up the rhythm, the timing that you'll need
Tonight's final serenade, it's time to take your leave
Dance the routine
And your romance is warm inside
Your heartbeat's racing
Heartbreak is cold when you
Don't dance dream sing our song
Poetic whispers of romance
Fill the dancing midnight air
Dance
Dance
Blood stained glass, shattered hopes
And dancing dreams in your head
I can't seem to find my steps
You'll never really find those perfect words.
Something more than just 'Goodbye.'
It's hard to remember the good times when there's just so much heartache,
But they deserve more than that.
They deserve more than just one single moment of sadness.
So just remember that when there's enough love in our hearts it burns like a fucking supernova
And there sure as hell is enough love in our heart to smile that famous smile
We all lose someone at some point in our lives,
But don't ever let go of that smile.
Hold on forever.
Kiss goodbye, to the poetic letters, the symptoms
Of being able to breathe without a care
Cushion the screaming, it's merely conversation in regards to
Speaking for the sake of concern
Take the flight of a butterfly, drop dead
Hear the whisper of the bullet's pace
Have you ever felt; heartbreak, bullet, kiss your heart?
Scream goodbye
You're dropping dead
And it's all over
Say hello, to the clock counting down the seconds
The bullets pace, your beating heart point A, point B!
Let's see how quick you are,
Whether you'll risk it all on the line just to gain some ground
To show you can soak up the shots fired
Take the flight of a butterfly, drop dead
Hear the whisper of the bullet's pace
Have you ever felt; heartbreak, bullet, kiss your heart?
Butterfly, you gotta race the bullet's pace
Butterfly, you gotta race the bullet's whisper
Butterfly, don't fall, gotta keep up the chase
Just scream goodbye
Bleed, butterfly whisper gotta crack break drop dead
Bleed, butterfly whisper gotta fracture
Another sunset!
What a way to start another messy night!
Another drink,
Another bar,
Another girl inside my arms!
I can't see straight anymore!
Just got kicked out the fucking door.
It's all easy!
It's all easy!
That's how we fucking roll!
It's all easy!
It's all easy!
O-o-o-oh!
Tonight's our night like every night before,
Until we fall,
Until we fall.
We'll drink you under
The fucking table!
Rack 'em up!
Put 'em down!
Rack 'em up!
Put 'em down!
I like to party!
You like to party!
We like to party!
All night long!
I like to party!
You like to party!
We like to party!
All fucking year!
I'm out the door, I'm on my ass again like every night before
I'm off the wall, out of my fucking mind, I'm out of control
I'll be the end of her, I'm in her head and in control
She's let me in, now take a sip and let the show begin
The floor's all yours, the house is full
You've made the slip now take the fall
I pull your strings, you're too deep in
So will she sink or swim
Oh she's down, how very spectacular
What a work of art I've spawned
Man am I proud of myself on this one
She's such a fucking masterpiece
Self destruction in such a pretty little thing
I know that I should walk away
But I can't bring myself to quit this game
She's just a beautiful girl with the weight of the world on her shoulders
I'm just a kick in the teeth from a world that's painted gold.
She's out the door, she's on her ass again like every night before
She's off the wall, out of her fucking mind, she's out of control
I was the end of her
In her head, in control
Just like before
I should've told you again
That I'm so sorry
Gather round my friends
I need a match and only one match
I think it's time I make my own way
I'm turning my back on this city and I'm not looking back
You'll never hear my name without your chest in flames
I'll make my own mistakes
Even though I never learn
I'm running from myself
If only you could see behind my eyes
Get up, get up
Get on your fucking feet
I'll make my own mistakes
Even though I never learn
I'm running from myself
If only you could see behind my eyes
Follow me now I could use some company
Bring your friends and we'll burn the city to the ground
Burn the temples
The fires fill the skies as the smoke fills my lungs
What a beautiful notion
I can't see through the tears in my eyes!
I can't see through the tears in my eyes!
I can't breathe!
I feel I failed!
I was meant to make you smile!
I was meant to make you shine,
To make you shine!
They said
This could never happen!
They said
We could never be!
Are you telling me you listened?
I was meant to make you smile!
I was meant to make you shine!
[x3]
So there's no you and me?
And we can't live this way forever (forever)?
(You said you'd run away)
You said you'd run away,
You said you'd run away with me (with me),
You'd run away.
That we'd escape from the ordinary!
That we'd escape from the world that tied us down!
That we'd escape from the ordinary!
That we'd escape from the world that kept us apart!
(Whoa!) So now this is over and the world falls upon me.
(Whoa!) I never expected to be here alone.
(Whoa!) The shadows are forming as we burst into flames.
(Whoa!) Why does this end this way?
Whoa!
Whoa! (Why does this end this way?)
Whoa!
Whoa!
You said you'd cried a thousand times.
But I don't believe a word of it.
You loved it when my heart stopped
So you start to listen.
Just sit and listen!
Don't test my words!
Just believe!
I did believe!
Just believe!
I did believe!
Who am I to say?
Fall Amy, fly,
You can't lie your way out of this one.
Fall Amy, fly,
You can't lie your way out of this one.
Put faith aside!
We have no way of knowing
How short our tie is!
Before the Devil knows your dead,
There will be blood,
There will be blood!
Now you know just how I feel!
Fall Amy, fly,
you can't lie your way out of this one.
Fall Amy, fly,
you can't lie your way out of this one.
(Oh baby, just maybe you're not the one)
(Oh baby, just maybe you're not the one)
The fall, will destroy at the end of it all!
And after it all, the hopes of the sinners will lose hope and break for me!
Oh baby, just maybe you're not the one!
You never were!
It was all sympathy and simple words of nothingness,
Nothingness!
This is where you die!
This is where you die!
I see myself there waiting by the roadside,
Laid claim to nothing but a black bag and the attire I stand in.
No name,
No history,
Just a target on my temple and a hole in my head.
I could've been one of kings!
The shell of a boy of the man that I used to be,
A monkey in a man suit!
I stand here as nothing to you.
Wind me up and watch me go.
Lay down your guns!
Cut me from ear to ear!
Eye for an eye!
The glass is long gone broken!
[x2]
I walk this road alone,
No thanks to you.
I walk this road alone,
No thanks to you,
No thanks to you.
Load up your six-shot baby,
Put it to my head!
Pull the trigger,
Blank I'd figured!
Put it to me, dead!
[x4]
Lay your guns down, let me die!
Why won't you just let me die?
Lay your guns down, let me die!
Why won't you just let me die?
Lay your guns down, let me die!
Scars don't heal when you keep cutting,
Always cutting,
Cutting deeper,
Always deeper!
'Yeeha'
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
If only he knew,
If only he knew,
If only he knew about the world without the bullshit and the lies,
We could've saved him.
They could've saved me.
But instead I'm here drowning in my own fucking mind,
And I'll be damned if you're the death of me.
Blood and ink stain the walls.
Silently with bloodied knuckles, I carry on
Hoping it's not too wrong.
You said the nights were far too long.
'Honey, it's just the start of it.'
Oh my God.
If only he knew.
Oh my God.
If only he knew.
If only he knew!
If only he knew.
Just stand up and scream.
The tainted clock is counting down.
(Faster and fast!)
You gave in to me.
Would you say the nights are far too long now?
(Faster, faster and fast!)
Oh my God!
Oh my fucking God!
The tears that stain my cheek must make me look weak!
I wear them proudly!
I wear them proud!
Just stand up and scream.
The tainted clock is counting down.
(Faster and fast!)
You gave in to me.
Would you say the nights are far too long now?
(Faster, faster and fast!)
Your knife,
My back!
My gun,
Your head!
[x2]
You need a doctor baby,
You scared?
You need a doctor baby,
You scared?
You need a doctor baby,
You scared?
You need a doctor baby,
You scared,
You scared,
You scared!
Yeah!
You need a doctor baby,
You scared!
You need a doctor baby,
You scared!
You need a doctor baby!
You need a doctor baby!
You scared!
Since I was born they couldn't hold me down
Another misfit kid, another burned-out town
Never played by the rules, I never really cared
My nasty reputation takes me everywhere
I look and see it's not only me
So many others have stood where I stand
We are the young so raise your hands
They call us problem child

We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall

Boss screamin' in my ear about who I'm supposed to be
Getcha a 3-piece Wall Street smile and son you'll look just like me
I said "Hey man, there's something that you oughta know.

I look and see it's not only me

(Even though I'm on my own)
(I know I'm not alone)
(Cause I know there's someone, somewhere)
(Praying that I'll make it home)
(So here's one from the heart)
(My life right from the start)
(I need a home sweet home)
(To call my own)
It was you
That told me I could do this
You put the music in my heart
How you sang with a band in Memphis
It's hard just, to be strong
Not knowing if, I've done you proud
I like to imagine
You smile when you hear my songs
Even though I'm on my own
I know I'm not alone
Cause I know there's someone, somewhere
Praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart
My life right from the start
I need a home sweet home
To call my own
A letter home
And I know we don't really speak much
We both know I'm not keen to
But I think there's things I've left unsaid
I'm okay, don't worry
I wish I'd been a better kid
I'm trying, to slow down
I'm sorry for letting you down
Even though I'm on my own
I know I'm not alone
Cause I know there's someone, somewhere
Praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart
My life right from the start
I need a home sweet home
To call my own
Yeah!
You know it's just, Rock and roll
I know you're by my side, through it all
My terror twin and I
Let's take over the world
Even though I'm on my own
I know I'm not alone
Cause I know there's someone, somewhere
Praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart
My life right from the start
I need a home sweet home
To call my own
Even though I'm on my own
I know I'm not alone
Cause I know there's someone, somewhere
Praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart
My life right from the start
I need a home sweet home
I slipped up, I fell down.
I lay back with my back against the ground.
I've reached out all I found.
My own reflection floats up into the clouds.
You help me out of my madness.
You pull me out of my grave.
I'm alive,
Breathing deeper than I ever breathe before,
And I owe it all to you.
I'm coming home.
I found my heart, I thought was dead and gone.
Safely in your hands,
And it’ll stay there forever.
You keep me up (You keep me up)
You keep me sane.
You taught me love, you saved me.
You help me out of my madness.
You pull me out of my grave.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm alive,
Breathing deeper than I ever breathe before,
And I owe it all to you.
I'm coming home.
The distance can't haunt us anymore.
I'm coming home.

I must be dreaming
Demise so surreal

I must be dreaming
So he came forth and said onto me
Son, you are forsaken
Condemned for the sins that you live
I offer you forgiveness [x2]
Bow down before me
I will never bow to he who claims to be divine
I'll tear down your gates with my bare fucking hands
And burn the world that you rule over
No matter how convinced you are, you're not a god of mine
I never believed in you
From what I see it was justified
I never believed in you,
In you
This power over the masses is a gift you don't deserve
When your blood spills, we'll drink from your fucking skull
You can run, you can hide
Bitch
I'll fucking find you
I'll tear your eyes out of your self-righteous face
Lord
I'll fucking find you
I'll tear your tongue out of your rancid fucking mouth
Heaven will, burn to the fucking ground
Your world will crumble, and fall from the skies
Blood will spill, and rain upon the earth
Your reign is over, and I'll wear your crown
This is your demise
I know you feel it in your chest
This is your demise
It's getting closer
This is your demise
I'm creeping from the depths of hell
This is your demise
I know where you sleep
I never believed in you
From what I can see it was justified
I never believed in you,
In you
What a way to end the world
With false hope in a false god
What a way to end the world
i can't see
through the tears in my eyes x2
i cant breathe
i feel i failed
i was ment to make you smile
i was ment to make you shine
they said this could never happen
they said we could never be
are you telling me you listened?
i was ment to make you smile
i was ment to make you shine x3
so there's no you and me
and we cant live this way forever (forever)
(you said you'd run away)
you said you'd run away
you said you'd run away with me
you'd run away
that we'd escape from the ordinary
that we'd escape from the world
that tied us down
that we'd escape from the ordinary
that we'd escape from the world
that kept us apart
so now this is over
and my world falls upon me
i never expected to be here alone
the shadows are forming
as we burst into flames
You said you cried a thousand times
But I don't believe a word of it
You loved it when my heart stopped
So you start to listen
Just sit and listen
Don't test my words
Just believe
I did believe
Who am I to say
Fall Amy fly
You can't lie your way out of this one
Put faith aside
We have no way of knowing how short our tie is
Before the Devil knows your dead
There will be blood
There will be blood
Now you know just how I feel
Fall Amy fly
You can't lie your way out of this one
Oh baby just maybe you're not the one
They Fall!
As they stand at the end of it all
And after it all,
the looks of it
say it's in itself across the lake
Oh baby just maybe you're not the one
You never were
It was all sympathy and simple words of nothingness
This is where you die
Oh, you're back to me, and the hunger returns!
I told myself I was done for good,
All the memories of all the pictures burned!
I see them dancing,
My heart begins to pound!
I didn't make a sound,
They didn't see me coming!
The lights are left on,
The curtains left wide!
One scream it's over,
I lay them side by side,
Side by side!
Holding each other.
I'll be there in the morning with a smile on my face.
I'll be there in the morning to start it all again.
Boy you caught me red-handed,
You've got no fucking clue,
What you have just got yourself into!
Panic runs down your leg seeing me kill again!
You just got yourself caught and you don't even know
On the drive you get the rush and pull the gun on me!
We make the stop, it's time to be set free.
Oh, the bullets gone,
I take this spade I slit your throat.
You fall into your grave, I cover up my tracks, I'm done.
I won't kill again!
I said that's it I'm done.
I'll be there in the morning, with a smile on my face.
I'll be there in the morning, to start it all again.
No, she's Daddy's little girl,
She wasn't meant to be another me!
But it's the scissors to my throat,
To my fucking throat.
No, she's Daddy's little girl,
She wasn't meant to be another me!
But it's the scissors to my throat,
To my fucking throat!!!
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
If only he knew,
If only he knew,
If only he knew about the world without the bullshit and the lies,
We could have saved him.
They could have saved me.
But instead I'm here drowning in my own fucking mind,
And I'll be damned if you're the death of me.
Blood and ink stain the walls.
Silently with bloody knuckles, I carry on
Hoping it's not too wrong.
You said the nights were far too long.
'Honey, it's just the start of it.'
Oh my God.
If only he knew.
Oh my God.
If only he knew.
If only he knew!
If only he knew.
Just stand up and scream.
The tainted clock is counting down.
(Faster and fast!)
You gave into me.
Would you say the nights are far too long now?
(Faster and faster and fast!)
Oh my God!
Oh my fucking God!
The tears that stain my cheek must make me look weak!
I wear them proudly!
I wear them proud!
Just stand up and scream.
The tainted clock is counting down.
(Faster and fast!)
You gave into me.
Would you say the nights are far too long now?
(Faster and faster and fast!)
Your knife,
My back!
My gun,
Your head!
[x2]
You need a doctor baby,
You scared?
You need a doctor baby,
You scared?
You need a doctor baby,
You scared?
You need a doctor baby,
You scared,
You scared,
You scared!
Yeah!
You need a doctor baby,
You scared!
You need a doctor baby,
You scared!
You need a doctor baby!
You need a doctor baby!
Oh sweet insanity
You take my hand and walk me out into the dark
We walk this road for hours and hours
To the white hills, and the oceans
On a collision course, to hell we march
We're doomed to this now
Oh the irony
If I'm going down I won't go down alone
You're doomed to this one
You're doomed to this now
Hold your breath my dear
We're going under
I've walk this road for hours
To the white hills, and the oceans
I search for solace in this toxic land of sin
Just let me in
Don't wake me up, their songs are soothing
Their wine subdues me
Hold your breath my dear
We're going under
Dreams, my mind won't me lift from my dreams
And thought I try I can't escape my mind
Dreams, my mind won't lift me from my dreams
And though you try you can't escape me
Now you've seen what I've become
Now you've seen what I can do
Now you've seen what I'm capable of
I've walk this road for hours to the white hills, and the oceans
I search for solace in this toxic land of sin
Just let me in
Don't wake me up, their songs are soothing
Their wine subdues me
Welcome to the diary of a man that lost his mind so long ago
Welcome to the shell of a man with a heart so black and cold
One Last Time
We're back again, you know we're not fucking around
Got a bottle of Jack in our hands, you tryna keep up
kid?
Let's see who hits the ground
We've drank the drinks, we've done the drugs, clearly
we don't remember
We've come so far, we've shown them all, without us
you'd fall and fade away
They say it all breaks down to keeping your feet on the
ground
My sole intention is keeping my head in the clouds
They say that I can't last a day in the real world
I say you wouldn't survive one night in mine
Notorious and shit I wouldn't Trade it for the world
I'm infamous but damn you can't help but love this shit
I'm everything we need to make this scene what it
should have been
Remember platinum albums, sold out stadiums, leave it
to me
Let's tell the truth, not to be rude but we're all
irrelevant
This music's dead with a bullet in it's head
Let's wake it up
Woooaah, Woooah
It's so insane, I'm so insane
Going insane, I'm so insane
Get the fuck away from me!
I know that I have done wrong and continue to do so but without remorse
I know that I am on a fast track to the grave and I'm headed there alone
I struggle to find myself this time
Save yourself for a man with a conscience
I fight to find myself this time
Save yourself for a man that is not me
I spend my days looking through pages
Tryin to find a way, to get away from me
A lot to give that leaves you breathless
Now all I need to find, a way back inside my mind.
I don't want to leave you breathless
When will you realize
I don't want to leave you breathless
When will you realize
I don't want to leave you breathless
When will you save yourself
Yeah!
I spend my days looking through pages
Tryin to find a way, to get away from me
A lot to give that leaves you breathless
Now all I need to find, a way back inside my mind
I need to find
A way back inside my mind (x2)
This is not the end,
This is the end of,
This is not the end,
This is the end of,
This is not the end,
This is the end of,
This is not the end.
RAH!
OHH!
Every mistake I've made leaves a scar that burns every day
Yet still I carry on.
Without regret without remorse I'm gone
You're better off to walk away
I am corruption, I am sin.
Forget my name
Forget my face,
Forget my name
One chance,
One shot
One bullet in the back of my head
And it came from the bottom of your heart
You couldn't find the words to tell me
So you went and found some bullets and shot me
What better than the kiss of a 9mm
To promote the heartbreak?
Goodbye to the paramour notes
We used to be such a finely scripted romance
But now you're all alone in watching me drown in our
Last tragedy that you so proudly painted
Oh God, how the bullet meets my lung
Just like the love it takes my breath away
Oh God, well now it's ended
But the last laugh belongs to me; listen up
This is my bullet of envy
This mess, the cracks in your heart
That's what you've created
This the heartache that only you've invented
Oh God, how the bullet meets my lung
Just like the love it takes my breath away
You're pulling the trigger, pacing the bullet against my heart
Screaming the point 4 so I can have a head start to exit
But I'll break back through with my bullet of envy
My bitter revenge before your sweet tragedy
Oh God, pull the trigger
Oh God, the pull of a trigger
Say something more
To preach the sudden silence
My last words before your
Take the broken heart and stitch it up with some tears
Blush it up, dress it up and put it on ice, it keeps us
cold
Frozen your lips turn lullabies numb
You're laughing melodies in time with heartbreak and
rhyme
Don't go blowing me a kiss,
'Cause you'll see it break down in all its elegance,
Like a model wearing the wrong make-up for her own
fashion parade
Biting your lip and I know,
You are faking it, you are hating it
Writing another lipstick letter, painting our script.
you're the artist.
Red for the love, white for the lies, black the
clichés, I'll see it in your eyes
Brush in some red, sketch in some blue, picture
perfect, me and you
Don't forget the title, "Inventing Tragedy in Black and
White"
Don't go blowing me a kiss,
Cos' you'll see it break down in all its elegance,
Like a model wearing the wrong make-up for her own
fashion parade
Biting your lip, I know your faking it,
Letting it bleed, I know you're hating it
Painting my tragedy, singing my tragedy
But would you blow me a kiss?
At the bottom of your letters
All of my love
All of my hate
All of my love
There's no melody that fits with drop-dead gorgeous
Your name doesn't fit with the chorus or a line from
her song,
But she's singing your tragedy, and her lipstick
Fuck this!
Cross my heart, I hope you die
Left by the roadside
Karma's a bitch, right?
Cross my heart, I hope you die
Left by the roadside
False tales,
Lies of a washed up prom queen!
Why'd you tell me
Everything was fine?
Everything was okay?
Get on your knees, oh!
Oh, why?
Tear me up!
No, why?
Everything's dead inside!
Oh, you could've told me,
at least I would've known!
No, you should've told me
and carved it in my bones!
Tear out my eyes!
Remove the gift of
Sight, proves ever cursing!
The light won't find us here!
Painted red, my eyes are burning!
And still you hide behind the waves!
Your silence is haunting!
Your words relentless,
Burying in!
My heart betrays me
For a last first kiss goodbye!
Fall asleep!
Jar one eye!
Jar one eye!
Spilling every lie you've spilled before,
Still I'm not forgiving you.
What's happened between us?
What can I give to save us?
Being righteous isn't quite enough.
What's happened between us?
What can I give to save me?
These oceans are far between our hearts.
The breathing has got too hard.[x2]
Scream with the voice of an angel!
Lie in the name of the gospel!
Smile in the face of your victims!
Smile for me!
This is my last request to you!
Hold my breath!
I was clutching onto disaster!
How stubborn are the scars when they won't fade away?
Or just a gentle reminder that now are better days?
We'll be home soon, so dry your eyes,
You'll be okay (you'll be okay!)
Oh my God!
The water is rising!
It's rising!
You just have to believe in me!
Failing that I'll ride this storm alone!
We can still make it out,
'Fuck'
I can help you through this,
But you have to take my hand!
I can take you home,
Take my hand,
Take my hand!
I should've known the tides were getting higher.
We can still survive.
They think we're drowning but our heads are still above the waves,
Above the waves.
(I should've known the tides were getting higher)
(We can still survive)
(Above the waves)
(I should've known the tides were getting higher)
(I should've known the tides were getting higher)
We can still survive!
You never said goodbye, goodbye![x4]
And now you're on your own!
You never said goodbye!
Please, you have to help me
This is not my true face
If you could see my soul,
As i have seen my soul
I could show it to you
It's rotten
It's poison
Help me please
Please, give me a fucking excuse
I beg for just one reason to give you regret
Regret
Are you with me or are you on your own?
It's time to choose your side,
So choose your side
Are you with me or are you on your own?
It's time to choose your side,
So choose your fucking side
Could be the end of the world
I'd still be laid here on my own, wasting my life away
Hear me now
Get off your knees
Nothing changes when you pray
I'm the closest thing to a god you'll ever know
Get of your knees
Open your eyes
I'll regret, never again
And i stand above you[x2]
And i can't feel this pain anymore
And i can't carry on this way
I'm hiding behind false eyes
Could be the end of the world
I'd still be laid here on my own wasting my life away
Over and over[x2]
Fuckin' out.
This isn't over, baby, don't believe a word they said!
But then,
She takes a moment to ponder,
To wonder what could've been given another chance!
To find a light in the darkness and a way out of this!
If only she could see what I could see!
She takes a moment to stumble to her feet.
If only I was there to hold her hand.
If only she saw what I saw,
She'd get out of this one!
She'd get out of here!
What burns the most is that you lied right to my face!
And, still, I hold your hand to set you free!
What burns the most is that you lied right to my face!
And, still, I hold your hand to set you free!
(To set you)
(Free!) With eyes closed,
Her heart breaks
And through it all,
She brought this on herself,
On herself.
With eyes closed,
Her heart breaks
And through it all,
She brought this on herself,
On herself.
For me,
For you,
The fallen.
Save her!
For us,
For me,
For good,
Save her![x2]
Save her!
She falls beside me!
She brought this on herself!
(This song's for)
(You!) With eyes closed,
Her heart breaks
And through it all,
She brought this on herself,
On herself.
With eyes closed,
Her heart breaks
And through it all,
She brought this on herself,
Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone
Lived 9 to 5 and he worked his fingers to the bone
Just barely get out of school, came from the edge of town
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down, oh no
He had no money, oh, no good at home
He walked the streets as soldier and he fought the world alone
18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go
18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go
Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline
He kept his motor running, but it never kept him clean
They say he loved adventure, "Ricky's the wild one"
He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun
Bang bang, shoot 'em up, the party never ends
You can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friend
And now it's
18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go
18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go, ye-yeah
"Accidents will happen", they all heard Ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind, that child blew a child away
18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go
18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
How stubborn are the scars when they won't fade away?
Or just a gentle reminder that now are better days?
We'll be home soon, so dry your eyes.
You'll be okay,
You'll be okay!
(Oh my God!)
The water is rising, its rising!
You just have to believe in me.
Failing that I'll ride this storm alone.
We can still make it out.
"FUCK"
I can help you through this,
But you have to take my hand.
I can take you home.
Take my hand.
Take my hand!
I should've known the tides are getting higher.
We can still survive.
They think we're drowning but our heads are still above the waves,
(Above the waves!)
I should've known the tides are getting higher.
We can still survive,
(Above the waves!)
I should've known the tides are getting higher.
I should've known the tides are getting higher.
We can still survive!
You never said goodbye, (Goodbye!)
You never said goodbye, (Goodbye!)
You never said goodbye, (Goodbye!)
You never said goodbye, (Goodbye!)
And now you're,
(On your own!)
You never said goodbye!
You never said goodbye!
Street signs, so many street signs
pass me by every night and
I know tomorrow
I won't recognize the world
Home bound but I want to be home now
Two more months of empty faces standing there screaming up at me
And I don't know why
I wanna go home
I wanna sleep in my own bed
I want a normal life again
Is this the end? Is this the end?
No matter how hard I try
all I know is the road
All I know is the road
Save me, can anyone save me?
I don't know who I am anymore
This was supposed to be the dream
You don't see the pain in my eyes?
You don't hear the pain in my words?
I'm just stuck here cold and alone with no one beside me
And I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I wanna sleep in my own bed
I want a normal life again
Is this the end? Is this the end?
No matter how hard I try, all I know is the road
All I know is the road
And you wonder why I'm out of my mind?
I wanna go home
I wanna sleep in my own bed
I want a normal life again
Is this the end? Is this the end?
No matter how hard I try, all I know is the road
Incompetent on of a bitch, keep your tongue tight.
Cut your losses. You're on thin ice, so tread light.
I don't wanna listen to your "he said, she said" shit.
Keep your mouth shut and listen motherfucker.
I can't stand this, It was never meant to be so hard.
Satisfaction was supposed to come and ease my heart.
I don't feel this anymore I need to get away.
All the love in my heart can't even find a way
These words they fall off my tongue like a poison.
I hope they kill you all, I hope I never see your faces again.
I see your faces again
Yeah
I wanna watch the whole word,
I wanna watch the whole word burn down, burn down
I wanna watch the world burn,
I wanna watch the whole world burn down, burn down
I won't pretend I'm not disgusted with everything you are.
I won't deny that I'm revolted by everything you say you stand for.
Where do I go? What do I say? Where do I draw the line?
Can I move on? Can I let go before I lose my mind?
Am I alone after everything we've suffered through?
Feels though what once was us has dwindled down to me and you.
I wanna watch the whole word,
I wanna watch the whole word burn down, burn down
I wanna watch the world burn,
I wanna watch the whole world burn down, burn down
These words they fall off my tongue like a poison.
I hope they kill you all, I hope I never see your faces again.
I see your faces again.
Yeah
I wanna watch the whole word,
I wanna watch the whole word burn down, burn down
I wanna watch the world burn,
I wanna watch the whole world burn down, burn down
Deep in the shadows I'm fighting a battle
The creature wants me screaming, screaming
I think I'm losing, tired of choosing, I'm slipping down
I can't stop screaming, screaming
I'm living a lie, there's a creature hiding inside of me
Black as the night with a cold dead heart and a lust for sin
So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from the world
If I let it out I don't know what I'll do
There's a creature inside of you too
I can't just turn to the menace I've clung to
The creature wants me screaming, screaming
I can't determine, I'm sure that it's hell bent on breaking out and
Hearing you screaming, screaming
I'm living a lie, there's a creature hiding inside of me
Black as the night with a cold dead heart and a lust for sin
So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from the world
If I let it out I don't know what I'll do
There's a creature inside of you too
So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from the world
If I let it out I don't know what I'll do
There's a creature inside of you too
I can't hold back.
So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from you
If I let it out I don't know what I'll do
There's a creature inside of you too
So I shut it out, I bottle up, I hide it from the world
If I let it out I don't know what I'll do
Close your eyes and leave all your fears behind (it's alright)
Close your eyes and follow me until the end
So if you're hopeless
We can pick up the pieces
And if you're broken
I can carry the pain
Are you with me?
Watching the flames rise high (yeah)
Sing this with me
I break down the walls
I want it all
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground
Scream and shout
Till the lights go out
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground
We won't take this
You won't break us
We won't stop until the world is in our hands
I break down the walls
I want it all!
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground
Don't let go
We carry our torches high (always burning)
Come too far
To throw it all away
So are you with me?
Watching the flames rise high (yeah)
Sing this with me
I break down the walls
I want it all
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground
Scream and shout
Till the lights go out
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground
We won't take this
You won't break us
We won't stop until the world is in our hands
I break down the walls
I want it all
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground
I like the mess
I watch you fall to the ground
As the embers rise
And the smoke fills the air
I break down the walls
I want it all
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground
Scream and shout
Till the lights go out
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground
We won't take this
You won't break us
We won't stop until the world is in our hands
I break down the walls
I want it all
You've got to believe (believe)
You've got to believe (believe)
We've tried it all, tried everything but giving in
I refuse to throw all that we have away
I still recall, I still remember better days
The endless search comes on alive for I've regained
We can make a different team
Just close your eyes and this hand my dear
Just hold your breath and let me dry your tears
All you've got to do is believe
All you've got to do is believe, believe (believe)
All you've got to do is believe
The life you can't understand you just have to reach out and grab it, reach out and grab it
How could you send us somewhere waiting to come home? Waiting to come home
We can make a different team
Just close your eyes and this hand my dear
Just hold your breath and let me dry your tears
All you've got to do is believe
You don't have to cry another tear for me
I'll bleed until we take rejoice, hand in hand
Will you believe in me? Will you believe in me? Will you believe?
We can make a different team
Just close your eyes and this hand my dear
Just hold your breath and let me dry your tears
All you've got to do is believe
We can make a different team
Just close your eyes and this hand my dear
Just hold your breath and let me dry your tears
All you've got to do is believe
You've got to believe
You've got to believe
You've got to believe
You've got to believe
This isn't me any more,
I need something to believe in
If you think you've seen the last of me
The flat line has come and gone
But wo't take me away
I'm tortured
By this dream I've manufactured
War torn
From the inside out but it makes me stronger
I'm not the person you see
When you look into these eyes
I've got a reason
To believe in something more
I know there's something more
I've heard it all before,
But I won't sing my last song
'Til I'm flat out on the floor
I've longed for so much more,
I wanna be the best that I can be
I'm sick and tired of being admired,
I don't deserve this pedestal you've put me on
All I want is to be proud of who I am
I brought this hell upon myself,
Oh how could I hurt you?
Oh please stay the night, no more waking up alone
We're going to sweep the plan
You're swimming far too close to the edge, you're gonna fall into the air
One last chance to say goodbye, one last moment to show you love me
Oh please let me hold your hand, let me try and take it all the way
Let me be your hero,
One last kiss goodbye, (it's happening again)
(I see the shock in your eyes)
One last kiss goodbye, (This is goodbye forever)
(A special place just for you)
Waking up in a ghost wake, I stop the tears
And the pressure it sends you back to sleep
I can't believe you,
The sickness, leading you away.
You're swimming far too close to the edge, you're gonna fall into the air
One last chance to say goodbye, one last moment to show you love me
Oh please let me hold your hand, let me try and take it all the way
Let me be your hero,
One last kiss goodbye, (What's happening again?)
(I see the shock in your eyes)
One last kiss goodbye, (This is goodbye forever)
(A special place just for you)
You think you could tell me what I needed, or how I feel?
You're more then just a ghost to me now
I can't even see or feel or watcn you anymore
I read you "my last words, before its all over"
A boy of anguish now, he's a man of soul
Traded in his misery for the lonely life of the road
The years were cruel to him no
He will let them go
Lays awake tryna' find the man inside to back his bugs and escape this world
I've never been so torn up in all of my life
I should of seen this coming
I've never felt so hopeless
Than I do tonight
I don't wanna do this anymore, I'm moving on
He wanted to change the world, to make it all worthwhile
So he put his pen to paper and poured out everything inside
He's read the scene and unpacked the man that he had became
So leave him trailing on the fasttrack to falling into his grave
I've never been so torn up in all of my life
I should of seen this coming
I've never felt so hopeless
Than I do tonight
I don't wanna do this anymore, I'm moving on
I can't believe I've come so far in such a time
And I'm still fighting on my own
I fucked up to catch my breath I may never breathe again, so just notice
I've never been so torn up in all of my life, I can't believe I let myself breakdown
I've never been so torn up in all of my life
I should of seen this coming
I've never felt so hopeless
Than I do tonight
I don't wanna do this anymore
I've never been so torn up in all of my life
I should of seen this coming
I've never felt so hopeless
Than I do tonight
No I don't wanna do this anymore, I'm moving on
A boy of anguish now, he's a man of soul
Yeah
You're fucking crazy, if you think that I'll ever change
I am mine, I am me, I'll never change my ways
I must've a route to escape
Conduct a predetermined damnation for eternity
Damnation for eternity
I don't want you to cry, I don't even want you to care
Don't you dare, pray for me, no
There's things I bury inside, to keep away from the light
Don't you dare, pray for me
I been so fucked up for so long
And I can't keep my head up on my own
Holy fuck, why do I bother
Never gonna keep, anything
I wanted to fall down the crack
I don't give a fuck if I die today
Holy shit, I've lost my mind
Reality, is starting to unwind
I don't want you to cry, I don't even want you to care
Don't you dare, pray for me, no
There's things I bury inside, to keep away from the light
Don't you dare, pray for me
I don't want you to cry, I don't even want you to care
Don't you dare, pray for me, no
There's things I bury inside, to keep away from the light
You loved me for all the wrong reasons
All the wrong reasons
There's nothing but pain left here I know
What's killing me
Is that I'm killing you
Three years of torment and torturous love
Stained with tears and mistrust
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
I can't hold you any longer in this hell I'm in
'Cause your heart is too weak for me to break again
All the mistakes that I've made
You forgave. What the fuck! You shouldn't have stayed
You'd always say, "There's so much love in you!"
I can't believe that you can't see that
You loved me for all the wrong reasons
I'm not the same as I used to be
There's nothing but pain left here, I know
What's killing me
Is that I'm killing you
Do you remember the beginning?
Heartbeats one and the same
Living smitten in Texas, burning bright as a flame
So young and in love, no care what anyone said
'Til my soul grew cold and my heart turned dead
What went so wrong with me
Why did I break this
Why was I so blind, too fucking dumb to see
That we were perfect, 'til I turned around
And gave in to debauchery
This is your chance to escape this
My goodbye with a last kiss
Cause I know deep down, you know that
You loved me for all the wrong reasons
I'm not the same as I used to be
There's nothing but pain left here, I know
What's killing me
Is that I'm killing you
You loved me for all the wrong reasons
I'm not the same as I used to be
There's nothing but pain left here, I know
What's killing me
Is that I'm killing you
WHAT'S KILLING ME!
IT'S KILLING ME!
I've GOT TO CUT YOU!
WHAT'S KILLING ME!
IT'S KILLING ME!
As I breathe my disease brings me to my knees
All you need is a taste it'll set you free
Your infection's my discretion honey, one and the same
Counting second til I'm medicated, fucked in the brain
I don't want this baby, I just need it to carry on
I got the white line fever and an appetite for sin
If there's a black hole headed for hell then baby count me in
I sold my soul so long ago, a bullet in the chamber with nowhere to go
If there's a black hole headed for hell then baby count me in
I sold my soul
Licking every drop of poison off a pocket of keys
While some daddy's little angel's getting dirt on her knees
When the sun goes down the filth run free
You'll never find a finer specimen of filth than me
I don't want this, I just need this to carry on
I got the white line fever and an appetite for sin
If there's a black hole headed for hell then baby count me in
I sold my soul so long ago, a bullet in the chamber with nowhere to go
If there's a black hole headed for hell then baby count me in
I sold my soul
Some have said that I'm the devil and it's just as well cause
I've been through and burned down and rebuilt hell
With my heart in a vice and a knife in my back
I've got a noose for the world that I'm painting black
I got the white line fever and an appetite for sin
If there's a black hole headed for hell then baby count me in
I sold my soul so long ago, a bullet in the chamber with nowhere to go
This isn't me any more,
I need something to believe in
If you think you've seen the last of me
The flat line has come and gone
But wo't take me away
I'm tortured
By this dream I've manufactured
War torn
From the inside out but it makes me stronger
I'm not the person you see
When you look into these eyes
I've got a reason
To believe in something more
I know there's something more
I've heard it all before,
But I won't sing my last song
'Til I'm flat out on the floor
I've longed for so much more,
I wanna be the best that I can be
I'm sick and tired of being admired,
I don't deserve this pedestal you've put me on
All I want is to be proud of who I am
I brought this hell upon myself,
This is now, for me to say
Well i think its time we start,
enoughs,enoughs.
Turn away.
We... regain my strength,no never cause you pain again.
Were dead surrender.
We wont surrender,
So we aim to run away.
We cant run away from them all.
Were dead surrender!
We wont surrender, ill plead for what be.
