Chase Tremaine Okay, so yeah, I play for this band. But this album was written before I joined and I can genuinely say I am a FAN of this incredible rock album. Favorite track: Paper People.

Resurrect 02:01
how can you be dead if you were never alive you were never alive we're digging ourselves out of this grave and we're leaving you behind watch the phoenix come to life and close your eyes stay forever blind

Paper People 03:38
do you remember what it's like to feel your skin wrapped inside the sweet escape, this hole you're living in blame it on your limits and believe we'll never know find shelter in your innocence with nowhere left to go cut you out a perfect house and build it up on sand we can watch the walls bend and break as the waves crash right in foundation starts to tremble and the roof begins to blow the waves come down questioning where will you go i wouldn't break your fall if i had a thousand hands bottom's where you need to be for you to understand a lie's a lie it doesn't matter how white the darkest days and darker nights hide behind those bloodshot eyes but no, we'll never know cut you out a perfect house and build it up on sand we can watch the walls bend and break as the waves crash right in foundation starts to tremble and the roof begins to blow the waves come down questioning where will you go find your way back home, kid there's nothing left for you find your way back home, kid there's nothing left to lose cut you out a perfect house and build it up on sand we can watch the walls bend and break as the waves crash right in foundation starts to tremble and the roof begins to blow the waves come down questioning where will you go find your way back home, kid there's nothing left for you find your way back home, kid there's nothing left to lose

desire was a fire, burning bright just like the sun but i lost my way and fell apart in a war i almost won deception is the answer when your back's against the wall so i built this cage around myself designed to break my fall but so far it's for nothing, the rusting takes it's toll the man i was suppose to be was given to the world i cast my blame on no one but the me i can't forgive and i'll make no apologies, my pride outweighs my guilt and i, i've never been gone for so long and i'm alive, but only for so long i'd search the sky for answers, but i'm stuck inside my head i'd make my way back home if i could find the place i left we see what we choose to see we’re just forcing our eyes to believe it’s alright i seem to be losing my mind break all your mirrors and fake all your vows sooner or later we’ll figure you out we seem to be after the same thing (the shadow lies when you step into the light you close your eyes but your mind has even more to hide break all your mirrors, fake all your answers) i, i’ve never been gone for so long and i’m alive, but only for so long i’d search the sky for answers, but i’m stuck inside my head i’d make my way back home if i could find the place i left we search for understanding anywhere beyond ourselves we don’t trust the voice inside our head for fear it might come out we'll search the sky for answers but ignore the heart in our chest and sacrifice our memories for whatever eternity we can get i’ve been gone for so long and i can’t make any sense of this i’ve been waiting for so long to find the place i left and i, i’ve never been gone for so long and i’m alive, but only for so long

in my own way i could say this was my plan all along we grow apart inch by inch and dance all night where the devil sits hostages of our ignorance we don’t lie to one another we just accept each other’s fears so what’s the point of being honest when we can’t even save ourselves from what we really are hiding behind a mirror of lies, broken to pieces the memory dies but i’ll never let you forget that you’re alone in the spirit of understanding i am rich beyond compare but patience is a virtue of which there’s no less i could care i’ve seen my share of rebirth and i’ve played my hand in death all these things that keep me breathing will soon bring me my end so what’s the point of being honest when we can’t even save ourselves from what we really are hiding behind a mirror of lies, broken to pieces the memory dies but i’ll never let you forget that you’re alone the time has come for comfort to be taken and destroyed the atrophy is setting in and you cannot fill the void you left my body shaking and i left you out to burn in a place that i once called my home now stands a lesson learned in my own way i could say i never planned to stay at all we fell apart piece by piece i watched this house collapse and never blinked i saw what i needed to see and walked away
5.
can you see without your sight can you hide behind these failing eyes i took a stab in the dark and i found more than i wanted (am i everything i think i am) is it that i'm scared, no i don't believe i fear i'm just questioning myself to make sure that this is real write it off as falling it's easier to give myself away what if i told you i was just getting by i'm just getting by could it be you're that naive can't you see that you're just incomplete i second guessed my first consensus if i said it, i never meant it come on down join the rest of us got a spot right here for you take a seat upon your throne and you can tell us what to do write it off as falling it's easier to give myself away what if i told you i was just getting by i'm just getting by and if i never said a word would you even care at all it's darker than it seems from the outside this is my life an empty shell of mis-belief a broken record of defeat tie my hands and take my eyes prepare to fall a thousand times

in the future i see, we agree to disagree cause there's nothing left worth fighting for we stay dragging our heels through the mud passion was a game we played when we were young we started a fire we can't escape cause you were never the one i wanted whiskey from the well and cheap perfume the sand is at the bottom of the hourglass do i bother to flip it over i guess we both got what we wanted this one night stand has gone too far a little too much too close for comfort we are well i'm dancing all around what words to say sidestepping landmine analogies and i'm dodging bullets made out of "it's okay" cause it's not and i think you know it i desperately breathed in (everything you said and) and i hate to disagree (with such wisdom) cause you were never the one i wanted whiskey from the well and cheap perfume the sand is at the bottom of the hourglass do i bother to flip it over i guess we both got what we wanted this one night stand has gone too far a little too much too close for comfort we are so say goodbye to this broken home i gave up on you long ago but you gave up on yourself before i ever had the chance say goodnight to this setting moon who lives a lie of light consumed and shines upon the waves to bring them crashing down on you cause you were never the one i wanted whiskey from the well and cheap perfume the sand is at the bottom of the hourglass do i bother to flip it over i guess we both got what we wanted this one night stand has gone too far a little too much too close for comfort we are

Anathema 04:04
i could teach you a thing about comfort or settling for what you think you deserve but i'm preaching to the choir of the house that fell apart are you there, can you see did the darkness deliver it's sting is this all what it seemed we're all in over our heads tell me i'm wasting my breath on you and i'll try to believe it save me from wasting my time on you and i promise to leave it alone teach me a thing about tragedy exaggerate every detail you can we speak with the words we've been fed before but we don't understand their worth tell me i'm wasting my breath on you and i'll try to believe it save me from wasting my time on you and i promise to leave it alone if i could walk away don't you know i would but i taught you to run away don't you know i wish you would tell me i'm wasting my breath on you and i'll try to believe it save me from wasting my breath on you and i promise to leave it alone this facade is just a phase when you take it away we're just bones and our decisions the memory fades, but the truth stays the same promise me change and i promise to leave it alone

Alive 04:31
why is the end always at somebody's middle why does a friend leave a void when they're gone i see eyes lit like candles amongst all the rubble and i dream of the day they'll burn bright we were weightless for a moment in time we realized we were stuck but we taught ourselves to fly and i'm alone for a minute or two don't think i didn't think of you the whole way down i'll see you on the other side i close my eyes, i see you with your little clone i feel the air, it's just a breeze that's running through your hair my arms and legs are free, i wrap them all around you and suddenly i am standing by your side we were weightless for a moment in time we realized we were stuck but we taught ourselves to fly and i'm alone for a minute or two don't think i didn't think of you the whole way down i'll see you on the other side i sent a message through the wind and though i won't be home again the words are written in the way it moves the clouds outside our house you words fly swiftly through the air i can feel you everywhere i can hear the song we'll sing when we're together once again I'm Alive.
