Asking Alexandria

"Nobody Don't Dance No More"

I'm alive!
I'm alive!

Watch yourself,
I'm taking over.
The cracks in the pavement won't break my stride.
I tread lightly,
I tread light!
I'm alive!

I can't believe what I've become,
I won't stop breathing.
Your world is falling at your feet,
I won't stop breathing.

Oh my God!
Yeah!

I can't believe what I've become,
I won't stop breathing.
Your world is falling at your feet,
I won't stop breathing.

Just 'cause you're breathing
Don't mean you're alive.
Excuses are useless
When your mouth's stapled shut.

I can't believe
What you've become,
I can't believe.
[x2]

Oh!

You're drowning in the back room!
so this is what it feels to waltz?
[x4]

What it feels to waltz!

I must be dreaming!
Demise is so surreal!

I must be dreaming!
I must be dreaming!
I must be dreaming!

"A Candlelit Dinner With Inamorta"

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,
On herself.

"Final Episode (Let's Change The Channel)"

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!

"Alerion"

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

Karma's a bitch, right?

"Not The American Average"

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!
Oh!

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!

Fucking bitch.

"A Single Moment Of Sincerity"

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]

Oh!
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!
Hold my breath!

"If You Can't Ride Two Horses At Once...Then You Should Get Out Of The Circus"

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!

"Hey There, Mr. Brooks!"
(feat. Shawn Milke of Alesana)

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 just got yourself into!
Panic runs down your leg,
seeing me kill again!
You just got yourself caught
And you don't even know it!
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 bullet's gone!
I take the 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!
[x2]

"When Everyday's The Weekend"

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!
Oh!

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!
All fucking year!

"I Was Once, Possibly, Maybe, Perhaps A Cowboy King"

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'
Scars don't heal when you keep cutting!

"A Prophecy"

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!
You never said goodbye, goodbye!

"I Used To Have A Best Friend (But Then He Gave Me An STD)"

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!

"A Lesson Never Learned"

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

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
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 off your knees

Open your eyes
I'll regret never again
And I stand above you

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
Could be the end of the world
I'd still be laid here on my own wasting my life away

Over and over
Over and over

"Closure"

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 change it for the world
I'm infamous but damn you can't help but love this shit

I'm everything we need 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

It's so insane, I'm so insane
Going insane, I'm so insane
Leave it to me from here

"Dear Insanity"

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 walked 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 walked 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

Over and over in my head

"Welcome"

We're back again
Let's make a toast, come raise your glasses high
To every one of you who doubted us.

We're back again
Let's make a toast, come raise your glasses high
To every one of us since "karma's a bitch right".

"The Match"

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

Run
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 their temples

The fires fill the skies as the smoke fills my lungs
What a beautiful notion
A single action brings this city to motion

"Breathless"

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 isn't me

I spend my days looking through pages
Trying to find a way to get away from me
With love 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
Trying to find a way to get away from me
With love 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 [x3]
This is not the end

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
Forget my face

"Someone, Somewhere"

(Even though I'm on my own)
(I know I'm not alone)
(Cause I know there's someone, somewhere)
(Waiting when I make it home)
(So here's one from the heart)
(A life line from the start)
(Home sweet home)

It was you
If only I could do this
You put the music in my heart
Now I'm singing with a band in Memphis
It's hard just, to be strong
Not knowing if, I've done you wrong
I want to imagine
A 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
A life line from the start
Home sweet home
On my own

A letter home
And I don't really speak much
We both know I'm not keen too
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
A life line from the start
Home sweet home
On my own

Yeah!

You know it's just, Rock and roll
I know you by my side, through it all
My time running out
And I'll 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
A life line from the start
Home sweet home
On 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
A life line from the start
Home sweet home
On my own

"Dedication"

You 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 that heart to burst like a fucking supernova,
Then there sure as hell is enough love in that 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.

Because that's a fine dedication.

"To The Stage"

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

Ladies and Gentlemen place your fucking bets,
Here we come

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 sorry
I'm so sorry

"Morte Et Dabo"

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
You're not a fucking 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
With false hope in you.

"Reckless And Relentless"

They said that self destruction I stopped below and for along,
My only home is the bottom of the bottle and a rolled up bill and I'm ready to go!
I let the scent die in and out and I dont care how long I last,
On the constant drink and drugs and dont get me wrong I'm having a fucking blast.

I am rock and roll, living a life we can only dream of,
I am rock and roll at its fucking finest

Just like the cigarettes hurt,
Just like the whiskey burns, whoa wohoa
I guess I'm never gonna learn

Just like the cigarettes hurt,
Just like the whiskey burns, whoa wohoa
I guess I'm never gonna learn

You cannot stop me till my insides bleeding,
You cannot stop me till my last breathe comes,
I'm gonna go until I hit the floor
Cant find a way back to my feet
Anymore

Pass me a glass and lets destroy everything in this fucking place
Like a billion miles an hour you pussys cant keep up with this fucking pace

I am rock and roll, living a life we can only dream of,
I am rock and roll at its fucking finest

Just like the cigarettes hurt,
Just like the whiskey burns, wohoa wohoa
I guess I'm never gonna learn

Just like the cigarettes hurt,
Just like the whiskey burns, whoa wohoa
I guess I'm never gonna learn

Ive drunk the last time you stood here, your by my side,
You thought that it should be just like the good old days of rock and roll
Without a drink, without regret without a second thought
You look below on the end of the back of your fucking throat

I am rock and roll living a life we can only dream of
I am rock and roll at its fucking finest

"Another Bottle Down"

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 pill just do what I do and make the most of it

I won't fall down again
Me 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 so 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
Me 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
If not you've only got yourself to blame

"Bitter Revenge, Sweet Tragedy"

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
Gunshot
