I've wasted days and days,
Threw my creations away,
For a box of distractions and booze,
All my instruments scare me,
The world outside sets me a jitter,
A quivering fool,
At night I dream I'm murdered in a deep city brawl,
And that I'm resurrected in hell,
To find a world been broken,
The ones I love choking,
On oppression, addiction and cruelty.
In everything these days I feel the hate,
Every breath and word we can exchange,
Are you hurting?
Cause I'm hurting,
So come and hurt with me.
Cause everything these days ain't meant for us we're aliens in oceans of disgust,
And you're hurting like I'm hurting,
So come and hurt with me,
I owe a debt to my childhood,
To the person I was,
To the bright eyed boy with big dreams,
If he could see the shadow,
Of a man he'd grow into,
The shame would reduce him to tears,
And the vitality we seek,
Is just a mirage in the deep,
Cause there's no magic here,
And these broken homes breed broke individuals,
Carbon clones of those irresponsible,
Lost, misguided people who gave life to us to fix their mistakes.
If everything these days is fading fast,
If everything I'm thinking has been said,
Where do I go next?
Do I fall and lay my head,
If everything they say is true of us,
Then best we part and save ourselves the fuss.
Where do I go next?
Where do I go next?

In the blackest night,
In the city heights,
Where the longings of hearts come unbound,
When the dive bars close their doors,
But it's too late to get home,
And the back alley shortcuts are found,
And there i'll find my hunting ground,
Climbing castles in the black,
Forbidding darkness of those dank,
Forgotten hours of the morning,
It didn't have to be, the way it ended up for me,
But you couldn't let go of the lie,
Back when we were 17,
Who would have thought you'd banish me,
Could've easily turned a blind eye,
And for my sins, you'll watch me die,
Climbing castles in the night,
My foster family on my mind,
Their cold dismissle forced the monster out of me,
They hung me from the church steeple,
Where god might choke my demons out,
I laughed how foolish were these people?
Come night broke my bonds and fled,
Climbing castles in the night,
The windows open in I slide,
Embracing those once were my family,
All hurt dispelled,
We'll meet in death,
Embrace of pain,
We'll meet in death,

The End (ASBTL Remaster)

It's the end. Or is it? It's not. But is it though? I don't think so. Stop lying to yourself. Nah...
lyrics
I can’t leave here but I can’t stay,
A Static shadow fading away,
And if I die today I won’t complain,
‘Cos nothing changes ‘til nothing remains.
I won’t be saved.
No, I won’t be saved by you…
‘Cos if it feels like the end,
Don’t pretend,
That if it feels like the end,
You’ll start again.
Sleepless dreamer wake up and see,
Comfort’s careless and faith is deceit,
And I’m too tired to mend broken beliefs.
Oh I won’t be saved, no,
‘Cos I don’t want to let you down again
‘Cos if it feels like the end,
Don’t pretend,
That if it feels like the end,
You’ll start again.
If I could say that I need help,
If I could save me from myself,
It only needs to feel like the end.
I wish I could say that I believe,
That I deserve relief,
That one day I’ll be free…
La la la,
La la la,
La la la la la, la la
La la la laa laa laa laa
‘Cos if it feels like the end,
Don’t pretend,
That if it feels like the end,
Just start again…

If I Fall

I wound up a herald, for those who'd do greater things,
My imagination suffocated me,
Drove me on through hate and jealousy,
Down a road that was wrong, and now I'm done.
And if I fall, would you raise me up to grace, and I'll be safe and in your arms.
And if I fall, would you raise me up to grace, and I'll be saved from what's to come.
Watching life walk by me,
Like a statue in a park,
My eyes were open, now they're shuttered and black,
So self absorbed it's crazy people still bear me, let alone live beside me,
What could they see in a decaying fool like me?
And if I fall, would you raise me up to grace, and I'll be safe and in your arms.
And if I fall, would you raise me up to grace, and I'll be saved from what's to come.
There's a void that keeps us apart,
One wrong move we fall and this dies,
And my sorrow you suffered for love,
But can you suffer a sorrow built to last,
Or am I on my own?
And if I fall, would you raise me up to grace, and I'll be safe and in your arms.
And if I fall, would you raise me up to grace, and I'll be saved from what's to come.
