Committed To The Con lyrics - Alexisonfire
Hey you get the fuck off my lawn
You're so damn committed to the con
All standards set and all lines drawn
And there's no question which side I'm on
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Rich boy on his hoard of milk and honey
Kneeling at the altar of inherited money
And all the marks are in it to win it
But he's selling yesterday's lottery tickets
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on? (Which side are you on?)
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on? (Which side are you on?)
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Sweet Dreams Of Otherness lyrics - Alexisonfire
Flashes lit up the darkness of wartime
You can see the paleness of worn nerves
These were the places that made us
Now riddled with the ghosts of another world
Born to live again
Standing strange in a sea of beige
I'm spun and naked and reckless like a dream
Sweet dreams of otherness
In memory of mankind
I am listening but I can't hear you
Well maybe I'm losing my mind
Maybe I'm losing my mind
Soft explosions echo from the rooftops
It must be the call of youthful noise
Finally in the age that we were born
Ancient language with a modern voice
Born to live again
Standing strange in a sea of beige
I'm spun and naked and reckless like a dream
Sweet dreams of otherness
In memory of mankind
I am listening but I can't hear you
Well maybe I'm losing my mind
Sweet dreams of otherness
In memory of mankind
I am listening but I can't hear you
Maybe I'm losing my mind
Exhaust in the purple skies
Perspiration stings my eyes
Impervious from north to south
I hold the embers in my mouth (Maybe I'm losing my mind)
I'm spun and naked and reckless like a dream (Maybe I'm losing my mind)
I'm spun and naked and reckless like a dream
I am listening but I can't hear you
Sans Soleil lyrics - Alexisonfire
These days won't last
This too shall pass
The pain won't linger on
Through dust and dark
The seed, the spark
Crying in this lonely parking lot
It's easier to love someone else
Than it is to be kind to yourself
What's harder is to let someone in
You loved me when I couldn't love myself
I couldn't love myself
Where you end, I begin
Where you end, I begin
Where you end, I begin
Where you end, I begin again
I begin again
Your smell on my sheets
Haven't spoke a word in weeks
But I don't want to lie to you
It's been dark for days
Sans soleil
It's lonely in the city by myself
It's easier to love someone else
Than it is to be kind to yourself
What's harder then is to let someone in
You loved me when I couldn't love myself
I couldn't love myself
Where you end, I begin
Where you end, I begin
Where you end, I begin
Where you end, I begin again
I begin again
I'm glad you're here with me
At the end of all things
I'm glad you're here with me
At the end of all things
Where you end, I begin
Where you end, I begin
Where you end, I begin
Where you end, I begin again
I begin again
I begin again
Conditional Love lyrics - Alexisonfire
Conceived in the darkness of the deep
(Of the deep, of the deep)
Turns out that life doesn't need the rays of the sun
Born without eyes, no need to see
(Need to see, need to see)
Born with a taste for conditional love
Conditional love
Conditional love
No Hell below, no Heaven above
Worth conditional love
Love
I wanna spill some blood
For conditional love
I touch base with the morning star (morning star)
I'm not the type to sit around counting scars (counting scars)
With Roxanne in his car
And sundown in his heart, conditional love
Conditional love
Conditional love
No Hell below, no Heaven above
Worth conditional love
Love
I wanna spill some blood
For conditional love
Love
I wanna spill some blood
For conditional love
Cosmically linked with a war of attrition
I've got a love but it comes with conditions
Love
I wanna spill some blood
For conditional love
Love
I wanna spill some blood
For conditional love
Blue Spade lyrics - Alexisonfire
My sweeping lie
Is drawn and getting tight
Tender teeth will gnash
On the wings of a crashing flight
Black out silence saves
As I sink in the summer sand
That cold embrace, but now I'm saved
By the grin, the reaching hand
This mad order has many faces
My lungs are tired
And now I quake
Is this what grace is?
So numb in this carbon process (Impression dies)
Impression dies, I return to the boundless (Emerging weightless)
Emerging weightless (Impression dies)
My lungs are tired
Is this what grace is?
Unanchored, drifting in caution
I can hear the heavy gospel fade
Cast below the midnight sun
I calmly dig with my blue spade
This mad order has many faces
My lungs are tired
And now I quake
Is this what grace is?
So numb in this carbon process (Impression dies)
Impression dies, I return to the boundless (Emerging weightless)
Emerging weightless (Impression dies)
My lungs are tired
Is this what grace is?
Is this what grace is?
Is this what grace is?
Is this what grace is?
Is this what grace is?
Is this what grace is?
So numb in this carbon process (Impression dies)
Impression dies, I return to the boundless (Emerging weightless)
Emerging weightless (Impression dies)
My lungs are tired
Is this what grace is?
Dark Night Of The Soul lyrics - Alexisonfire
We are not our bodies
We are not our minds
Halls of black mirrors
Struggling to find
If we could just witness
Some truth in it all
Under the cold moon
The dark night of the soul
Mind, body and spirit are drawn to the flame
Let the light and the candle be one in the same
Finally see you aren't stuck in one place
Sit back behind it in infinite space
Trembling hands, tender embrace
Shadows merge from the fire, paint a skull on your face
Afraid of the truth, afraid of the fear
Afraid of the feelings that guided you here in the dark
In the dark
We are not our bodies
We are not our minds
Halls of black mirrors
Struggling to find
If we could just witness
Some truth in it all
Under the cold moon
The dark night of the soul
Breathe in the smoke, fell through the floor
Passed through the veil, opened the door
Seething and angry, raw energy
Another dimension has it's claws in me
Feminine venomous, I felt afraid
The caverns I entered, I never escaped
I don't believe in bad trips, there's something to glean
Came back to this world, but if felt like a dream in the dark
In the dark
We are not our bodies
We are not our minds
Halls of black mirrors
Struggling to find
If we could just witness
Some truth in it all
Under the cold moon
The dark night of the soul
We are not our bodies
We are not our minds
Halls of black mirrors
Struggling to find
If we could just witness
Some truth in it all
Under the cold moon
The dark night of the soul
The dark night of the soul
The dark night of the soul
The dark night of the soul
The dark night of the soul
Mistaken Information lyrics - Alexisonfire
You're speaking like a machine
With zeros in your eyes
You're lost in the echoes of what came before
You're speaking like a machine
And you terrify me
You've given those people what they think they need
So let me narrow my thoughts
And then I'll bury myself
And if it's devil may care
Then let me care for nothing else
Mistaken information
Mistaken information
Are we gonna make it?
Mistaken information
Mistaken information
Are we gonna make it?
Don't you rely on me
'Cause I am too afraid
Of this feeling that I can not seem to shake
So I will narrow my thoughts
And then I'll bury myself
And if it's devil may care
Then let me care for nothing else
Mistaken information
Mistaken information
Are we gonna make it?
Mistaken information
Mistaken information
Are we gonna make it?
Mistaken information
Mistaken information
Are we gonna make it?
Mistaken information
Mistaken information
Are we gonna make it?
Survivor's Guilt lyrics - Alexisonfire
Freedom is watching the thing you hate die
Says the morning star with my lips
Burning alive with a sense of calm
As the dog licks the bath water from my wrist
And there's not enough survivor's guilt
Not at the bottom of the sea
Not in the starving coyote on my lawn
Not in me, not in me, not in me, not in me
Shame from indifference
(Not enough survivor's guilt)
Praised by a choir of insolence
(Not enough survivor's guilt)
Blessed by the visionless
(Not enough survivor's guilt)
What has become of this?
(Not enough survivor's guilt)
I'm the Bengal in the tall grass
Never will I grow to my full majesty
Not without the countless links of chain
And never ending acts of wanton brutality
And there's not enough survivor's guilt
Not in the branches of the trees
Not at the top of a tower in Dubai
Not in me, not in me, not in me, not in me
Shame from indifference
(Not enough survivor's guilt)
Praised by a choir of insolence
(Not enough survivor's guilt)
Blessed by the visionless
(Not enough survivor's guilt)
What has become of this?
(Not enough survivor's guilt)
Give me the glory of the sun
Give me all the glory till I'm numb
Give me all the glory of the sun
Give me all the glory till I'm numb
Numb, numb, numb, numb
Shame from indifference
(Not enough survivor's guilt)
Praised by a choir of insolence
(Not enough survivor's guilt)
Blessed by the visionless
(Not enough survivor's guilt)
What has become of this?
(Not enough survivor's guilt)
Reverse The Curse lyrics - Alexisonfire
In the tortures of the damned
Specters crowd the den
Breath down the shadows
This was never the plan
Reverse the curse
This is the turning of the tides
This is a manageable vice
A new old habit
I've got nothing to hide
Reverse the curse
Beyond all pleasures and woes
Beyond this labour of love
We will find the world we wanted
And feel the current of life
Deep within our bones
On a bed of aging nails
Hot and cold by the turns
A fistic talk with godhood
Static through the veil
Reverse the curse
This is the meadow of the flies
Endless hum we praise
Pulling out our tongues
Secret language in disguise
Reverse the curse
Beyond all pleasures and woes
Beyond this labour of love
We will find the world we wanted
And feel the current of life
Deep within our bones
World Stops Turning lyrics - Alexisonfire
Don't just sit there and wait around
Can't you see that I'm ready now
I never meant to let you down, oh
I want your love so violently
To feel this pleasure that burns in me
Darling if you please
Set me free
'Cause if the world, the world stops turning
Our love will keep on burning
I need to feel your breath again
The way it danced across my skin
And shook my body deep within, oh
After all this time
You're there suspended in my mind
And I'm starving for your love
So set me free tonight
'Cause if the world, the world stops turning
Our love will keep on burning
And if the world, the world stops turning
Our love will keep on burning
And if the world, the world stops turning
Our love will keep on burning
Complicit lyrics - Alexisonfire
Feeling complicit in my steel toes
Take the plant and fruit without a thought
Face the law without a trace of fear
I can't see the train because I'm the engineer
Up is down
And down is further down
Follow me into the dark
Until there's no coming back
Up is down
And down is further down
Follow me into the dark
Until there's no coming back
All the clocks stop
From then on it was only night
The snow turns black before my eyes
At the end of the mighty white
From then on it was only night, the sun turned black and it was only night...
Feeling complicit with my shaved head
Wife's hand in mine without a thought
All doors are held wide open
No hand on the small of my back
Up is down
And down is further down
Follow me into the dark
Until there's no coming back
Up is down
And down is further down
Follow me into the dark
Until there's no coming back
All the clocks stop
From then on it was only night
The snow turns black before my eyes
At the end of the mighty white
From then on it was only night, the sun turned black and it was only night...
We're all complicit
In this town
We're all complicit
No one hears a sound
From then on it was only night, the sun turned black and it was only night...
Familiar Drugs lyrics - Alexisonfire
Feeling the breeze of change
Lethargy rolls over me again
Like sap over a midge
Is it real or just pretend?
It's alive in the dark
And it knows where I'm going to be
Forever returning again and again
Into the house
Into the den
Elastic stretched and strained
I know I could change
This shirt is ripped and stained
And your pushing familiar drugs again
You're pushing it
I can't resist
I feel you under my skin
Pushing familiar drugs again
Feeling the turning tides
Indifference takes hold again
Like mist over the lake
Is it real or is it fake?
I won't fight the gravity
Let the current take me where it please
Right down the fucking drain
Into my lungs
Into my veins
Elastic stretched and strained
I know I could change
This shirt is ripped and stained
And you're pushing familiar drugs again
You're pushing it
I can't resist
I feel you under my skin
Pushing familiar drugs again
You're pushing it
I can't resist
I feel you under my skin
Pushing familiar drugs again
You're pushing familiar drugs
You're pushing familiar drugs again
You keep pushing familiar drugs
You keep pushing familiar drugs again and again
Season Of The Flood lyrics - Alexisonfire
All that is will go away
But come again another day
Through turbulence on proud display
I'll walk with you into the fray
You want someone to love
You don't need somebody to hate
You want someone to love
You don't need somebody to hate
Summer shores will flow and ebb
Ice will form in gentle threat
But without fear we softly step
You're what I owe, you are my debt
You want someone to love
You don't need somebody to hate
You want someone to love
You don't need somebody to hate
Somebody to hate
(Somebody to hate)
(Somebody to hate)
(Somebody to hate)
(Somebody to hate)
I'm lost in the season of decay
And she's coming to collect again
I'm lost in the season of fire
And she's coming to collect again
I'm lost in the season of ice
And she's coming, coming to collect again
And I'm lost in the season of the flood
And she's coming to collect again
And I always, I always pay in, I always pay in full
But without fear we softly step
You're what I owe, you are my debt
Dog's Blood lyrics - Alexisonfire
Endless whispers, skies that bleed
Dogs blood falls from it like rain
Choke the rivers, flood the streets
Canine era, canine teeth
New kind of soldier, born of scars
Cut so much skin and the blood of dogs
Face my arrow here in the field
Insides will drown, drink their own tears
Howls heard for miles around
(We will all drown, we will all drown)
In dog's blood we will all drown
(We will all drown, we will all drown)
No escape, no mercy, through the ruined town
We will all bathe in the blood of hounds
They will hunt them to the last
Time of the mongrel, down to the past
Sterilize you a new scene
Wolves awake from the endless dream
Born from faith, but the ember will fall
Every new year marks who are born
They will strike with the hands of God
Marks the end of the era of dog
Howls heard for miles around
(We will all drown, we will all drown)
In dog's blood we will all drown
(We will all drown, we will all drown)
No escape, no mercy, through the ruined town
We will all bathe in the blood of hounds
Howls heard for miles around
In dog's blood we will all drown
Howls heard for miles around
In dog's blood we will all drown
Dog's blood
Dog's blood
Dog's blood
(Howls heard for miles around)
Dog's blood
(In dog's blood we will all drown)
Dog's blood
(Howls heard for miles around)
Dog's blood
(In dog's blood we will all drown)
Dogs blood falls from it like rain
Choke the rivers, flood the streets
Canine era, canine teeth
New kind of soldier, born of scars
Cut so much skin and the blood of dogs
Face my arrow here in the field
Insides will drown, drink their own tears
Howls heard for miles around
(We will all drown, we will all drown)
In dog's blood we will all drown
(We will all drown, we will all drown)
No escape, no mercy, through the ruined town
We will all bathe in the blood of hounds
They will hunt them to the last
Time of the mongrel, down to the past
Sterilize you a new scene
Wolves awake from the endless dream
Born from faith, but the ember will fall
Every new year marks who are born
They will strike with the hands of God
Marks the end of the era of dog
Howls heard for miles around
(We will all drown, we will all drown)
In dog's blood we will all drown
(We will all drown, we will all drown)
No escape, no mercy, through the ruined town
We will all bathe in the blood of hounds
Howls heard for miles around
In dog's blood we will all drown
Howls heard for miles around
In dog's blood we will all drown
Dog's blood
Dog's blood
Dog's blood
(Howls heard for miles around)
Dog's blood
(In dog's blood we will all drown)
Dog's blood
(Howls heard for miles around)
Dog's blood
(In dog's blood we will all drown)
Grey lyrics - Alexisonfire
Big black wolf, clawing at your door
Dead mans hand, is crawling 'cross the floor
Witch on the horizon is brewing up a vex
Everyone in town is wondering who is next
Toothless tramp, is crawling through the mud
Turned in to the {living} dead, by puffer fish blood
The God of the sea, is swinging his trident
We stoke our, fires with the bones of tyrants
The city trudges on
Under a sky as
Grey as the mayors heart
Meanest man alive, lives for a hundred years
Town pedophile, bathes in little girls tears
Ghosts of old love, are blowing through the pines
Nicotine babies being born with no spines
Gather up the children, and lead them to the cliffs
The anchor has been cut, and we are all adrift
New plague is rolling, through the slums of old town
And the roaches move in, as the rats have all drown
The city trudges on
Under a sky as
Grey as the mayors heart
As grey as prison bars
As grey as a border fence
As grey as a chain
As grey as the mayors heart
As grey as prison bars
As grey as a border fence
As grey as a chain
Dead mans hand, is crawling 'cross the floor
Witch on the horizon is brewing up a vex
Everyone in town is wondering who is next
Toothless tramp, is crawling through the mud
Turned in to the {living} dead, by puffer fish blood
The God of the sea, is swinging his trident
We stoke our, fires with the bones of tyrants
The city trudges on
Under a sky as
Grey as the mayors heart
Meanest man alive, lives for a hundred years
Town pedophile, bathes in little girls tears
Ghosts of old love, are blowing through the pines
Nicotine babies being born with no spines
Gather up the children, and lead them to the cliffs
The anchor has been cut, and we are all adrift
New plague is rolling, through the slums of old town
And the roaches move in, as the rats have all drown
The city trudges on
Under a sky as
Grey as the mayors heart
As grey as prison bars
As grey as a border fence
As grey as a chain
As grey as the mayors heart
As grey as prison bars
As grey as a border fence
As grey as a chain
Black As Jet lyrics - Alexisonfire
Those who would take the lives of men
Set fire to the staves as the master spoke through them
Born of wax, cast in clay
A horrible likeness that bares your name
Rip the eyes out throw them away
Scatter the ashes conjured by his slaves
As mind and body drift further apart
The candle burns down and stops your heart
Black as jet
Black as jet
Black as jet
Black as jet
Old as thunder in hundred of shapes
Eagerly suffering in his name
Carnal violence by candle mass
The days move slow and the nights won't pass
Lose the left hand dig up the grave
Succumb to the siren who lives in the flame
Soiled suspicion the towns on the take
She will meet her fate at the stake
Black as jet
Black as jet
Black as jet
Black as jet
Set fire to the staves as the master spoke through them
Born of wax, cast in clay
A horrible likeness that bares your name
Rip the eyes out throw them away
Scatter the ashes conjured by his slaves
As mind and body drift further apart
The candle burns down and stops your heart
Black as jet
Black as jet
Black as jet
Black as jet
Old as thunder in hundred of shapes
Eagerly suffering in his name
Carnal violence by candle mass
The days move slow and the nights won't pass
Lose the left hand dig up the grave
Succumb to the siren who lives in the flame
Soiled suspicion the towns on the take
She will meet her fate at the stake
Black as jet
Black as jet
Black as jet
Black as jet
I'm Stranded lyrics - Alexisonfire
(originally by The Saints)
Like a snake calling on the phone
I've got no time to be alone
there is some one coming at me all the time
babe I think I'll lose my mind
'cause I'm stranded on my own
stranded far from home
I'm riding on a midnight train
& everybody looks just the same
a subway light it's dirty reflection
I'm lost I don't have a direction
I'm stranded on my own
stranded far from home
Look at me looking at you
there ain't a thing that I can do
you are lost your mind is a whirl
baby such a stupid girl
Livin' in a world insane
they cut out some heart & some brain
'been filling it up with dirt
do you know how much it hurts...
to be...stranded on my own
stranded far from home
Stranded I'm so far from home
Stranded yeah I am on my own
Stranded why don't you leave me alone
Like a snake calling on the phone
I've got no time to be alone
there is some one coming at me all the time
babe I think I'll lose my mind
'cause I'm stranded on my own
stranded far from home
I'm riding on a midnight train
& everybody looks just the same
a subway light it's dirty reflection
I'm lost I don't have a direction
I'm stranded on my own
stranded far from home
Look at me looking at you
there ain't a thing that I can do
you are lost your mind is a whirl
baby such a stupid girl
Livin' in a world insane
they cut out some heart & some brain
'been filling it up with dirt
do you know how much it hurts...
to be...stranded on my own
stranded far from home
Stranded I'm so far from home
Stranded yeah I am on my own
Stranded why don't you leave me alone
The Dead Heart lyrics - Alexisonfire
(originally by Midnight Oil)
We don't serve your country
don't serve your king
Know your custom don't speak your tongue
White man came took everyone
We don't serve your country
Don't serve your king
White man listen to the songs we sing
White man came took everything
We carry in our hearts the true country
And that cannot be stolen
We follow in the steps of our ancestry
And that cannot be broken
We don't serve your country
We don't serve your king
Know your custom don't speak your tongue
White man came took everyone
We don't need protection

Keep your promise on where we stand
We will listen we'll understand
We carry in our hearts the true country
And that cannot be stolen
We follow in the steps of our ancestry
And that cannot be broken
We carry in our hearts the true country
And that cannot be stolen
We follow in the steps of our ancestry
And that cannot be broken
Mining companies, pastoral companies
Uranium companies
Collected companies
Got more right than people
Got more say than people
Forty thousand years can make a difference to the state of things
The dead heart lives here
We don't serve your country

Old Crows lyrics - alexisonfire
Old crows ride in the mouth of the beast
Sleep beneath its tongue, cradled by its teeth
We roam from shore to shore
From the open sky to the ocean floor
The more we move the less we are ourselves
And when we finally stop, we've changed to something else
As rapid as a river flows
As frigid as the cold wind can blow
As devious as the devil’s grin
Our blood is cold and we’ve shed our skin
Now, we are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday
We are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday
we are not the kids we used to be
Ooooh oh oh
We are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday
The crows are calling - seems the end is near
They’re spelling out their names, yet we have no fear
Oh, the damage a man can do
When ambition takes over his search for the truth
Sometimes life just gets the best of us
Some things in life will get the best of us
Now, we are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday
We are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday
We are not the kids we used to be
Ooooh oh oh (Stop wishing for yesterday)
We are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday
Every skyline beats in my chest
Somewhere between love and sadness
This is our fate, this is our test
We ride in the mouth of madness
As rapid as a river flows
As frigid as the cold wind can blow
As devious as the devil’s grin
Our blood is cold and we’ve shed our skin
Now, we are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday
We are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday
We are not the kids we used to be
Ooooh oh oh (Stop wishing for yesterday)
We are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday
Wishing for yesterday
Wishing for yesterday
Sleep beneath its tongue, cradled by its teeth
We roam from shore to shore
From the open sky to the ocean floor
The more we move the less we are ourselves
And when we finally stop, we've changed to something else
As rapid as a river flows
As frigid as the cold wind can blow
As devious as the devil’s grin
Our blood is cold and we’ve shed our skin
Now, we are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday
We are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday
we are not the kids we used to be
Ooooh oh oh
We are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday

Ooooh oh oh (Stop wishing for yesterday)
We are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday
Wishing for yesterday
Wishing for yesterday
Young Cardinals lyrics - alexisonfire
Go!
Strange things happen in the nighttime hour
Yesterday’s buds are tomorrow’s flowers
Those who speak numbers, refuse the great forgiver
And powerful men raise their hands and deliver
All the superstitions to which we all cling
While high minds in Geneva ponder e8 vs. string
The sun hides itself concealing its grin
And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again.
Oh young cardinals
Nesting in the trees
Oh hear our songs
Reign your innocence on me
One, two, three, four!
Strange things happen in the nighttime hours
White tails graze and wolves devour
Ghosts of old loves are blowing through the pines
Nicotine babies being born with no spines
The god of the sea is swinging his trident
We stoke our fires with the bones of tyrants
The sun, it retreats through the dust and the din
And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again
Oh young cardinals
Nesting in the trees
Oh hear our songs
Reign your innocence on me
Young cardinals take flight
Return to nest in the black of night
There are things you were not meant to know
Young cardinals take flight
Return to nest in the black of night
There are things you were not meant to know
Oh young cardinals
Nesting in the trees
Oh hear our songs
Reign your innocence on me
Oh young cardinals
Oh young cardinals
Oh young cardinals
Oh young cardinals
Oh
Strange things happen in the nighttime hour
Yesterday’s buds are tomorrow’s flowers
Those who speak numbers, refuse the great forgiver
And powerful men raise their hands and deliver
All the superstitions to which we all cling
While high minds in Geneva ponder e8 vs. string
The sun hides itself concealing its grin
And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again.
Oh young cardinals
Nesting in the trees
Oh hear our songs
Reign your innocence on me
One, two, three, four!
Strange things happen in the nighttime hours
White tails graze and wolves devour
Ghosts of old loves are blowing through the pines
Nicotine babies being born with no spines
The god of the sea is swinging his trident
We stoke our fires with the bones of tyrants
The sun, it retreats through the dust and the din
And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again
Oh young cardinals
Nesting in the trees
Oh hear our songs
Reign your innocence on me
Young cardinals take flight
Return to nest in the black of night
There are things you were not meant to know
Young cardinals take flight
Return to nest in the black of night
There are things you were not meant to know
Oh young cardinals
Nesting in the trees
Oh hear our songs
Reign your innocence on me
Oh young cardinals
Oh young cardinals
Oh young cardinals
Oh young cardinals
Oh
Sons Of Privilege lyrics - alexisonfire
America blearing in my ears all day
America, I don’t see the glory of your ways
The oldest money flows through a bloodline
We’ll see if your empire stands the test of time
Don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
Be a slave to the sons of privilege
Don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
Be a slave to the sons of privilege
Sweet lady liberty -
You are lost, though you are free
And what hides beneath
Can’t tell the wolves from the sheep
America, grin and bare the resentment of the world
With all your ugliness and self-worth
Desperate to grease the gears of the hideous machine
The swine, they writhe and praise the infallible regime
Don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
Be a slave to the sons of privilege
Don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
Be a slave to the sons of privilege
Sweet lady liberty -
You are lost, though you are free
And what hides beneath
Can’t tell the wolves from the sheep
Lost though you are free
In America
It’s time to justify your pride
Sweet lady liberty -
You are lost, though you are free
And what hides beneath
Can’t tell the wolves from the sheep
America, I don’t see the glory of your ways
The oldest money flows through a bloodline
We’ll see if your empire stands the test of time
Don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
Be a slave to the sons of privilege
Don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
Be a slave to the sons of privilege
Sweet lady liberty -
You are lost, though you are free
And what hides beneath
Can’t tell the wolves from the sheep
America, grin and bare the resentment of the world
With all your ugliness and self-worth
Desperate to grease the gears of the hideous machine
The swine, they writhe and praise the infallible regime
Don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
Be a slave to the sons of privilege
Don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
Be a slave to the sons of privilege
Sweet lady liberty -
You are lost, though you are free
And what hides beneath
Can’t tell the wolves from the sheep
Lost though you are free
In America
It’s time to justify your pride
Sweet lady liberty -
You are lost, though you are free
And what hides beneath
Can’t tell the wolves from the sheep
Born And Raised lyrics - alexisonfire
All blossoms die in the light of our new culture
Find your belief in that which cannot be discovered
Countless lessons lie in every fever dream
A million voices asking, what does it all mean?
I’ve lost all direction
I’ve lost all my direction
And now I wish, that I would have believed
Could have believed
Escape, escape
Nature’s indifferent hand
Retreat, retreat
To the bliss of our creation
We were born and raised
To live beyond
The heft and weight of a world undone
Like a bird from the north
Our hearts will roam in search of warmth
Two hands come together to pray for greater yields
Two poles of a compass guided by a field
In the mind of every man, two ghosts dance
Was this place made, or was it here by chance?
I’ve lost all direction
I’ve lost all my direction
And now I wish, that I would have believed
Could have believed
Escape, escape
Nature’s indifferent hand
Retreat, retreat
To the bliss of our creation
We were born and raised
To live beyond
The heft and weight of a world undone
Like a bird from the north
Our hearts will roam in search of warmth
Uncountable numbers written in new fallen snow
I can hear the claws of the beast tapping at my window
Nihilist sleeps and in dreams he sees god’s face
Realize even disbelief requires a leap of faith
From birth to death, we search for what’s yet to be known
We and hope and pray and ask, but we are never shown
Born and raised to live beyond
The heft and weight of a world undone
Like a bird from the north
Our hearts will roam in search of warmth
We were born and raised
Find your belief in that which cannot be discovered
Countless lessons lie in every fever dream
A million voices asking, what does it all mean?
I’ve lost all direction
I’ve lost all my direction
And now I wish, that I would have believed
Could have believed
Escape, escape
Nature’s indifferent hand
Retreat, retreat
To the bliss of our creation
We were born and raised
To live beyond
The heft and weight of a world undone
Like a bird from the north
Our hearts will roam in search of warmth
Two hands come together to pray for greater yields
Two poles of a compass guided by a field
In the mind of every man, two ghosts dance
Was this place made, or was it here by chance?
I’ve lost all direction
I’ve lost all my direction
And now I wish, that I would have believed
Could have believed
Escape, escape
Nature’s indifferent hand
Retreat, retreat
To the bliss of our creation
We were born and raised
To live beyond
The heft and weight of a world undone
Like a bird from the north
Our hearts will roam in search of warmth
Uncountable numbers written in new fallen snow
I can hear the claws of the beast tapping at my window
Nihilist sleeps and in dreams he sees god’s face
Realize even disbelief requires a leap of faith
From birth to death, we search for what’s yet to be known
We and hope and pray and ask, but we are never shown
Born and raised to live beyond
The heft and weight of a world undone
Like a bird from the north
Our hearts will roam in search of warmth
We were born and raised
No Rest lyrics - alexisonfire
We greet each day with bloodshot eyes
The dirt of our labor still clingin’ to our hands
Filled with our warped intentions
The tread of our shoes filled with foreign sands
The sun laughs in all our faces
It shows a world that we can’t save
So now, armed with blades in hand
We cut a path from birth to grave
We don’t know where we’re going
But we know that we’re getting there
No rest for the blessed
Long life for the wicked
We don’t think like you think
And we move like no one moves
With a song on our lips, across the land
Born to traverse
We don’t think like you think
And we move like no one moves
With a song on our lips, across the land
Born to traverse
We don’t know where we’re going
But we know, we’re getting there
No rest for the blessed
Long life for the wicked
Like a car crash
Like a landmine
Like mixing drugs, we are dangerous
Like a snake’s tooth
Like thin ice
Like mixing blood, we are dangerous
No rest for the blessed
Long life for the wicked
The dirt of our labor still clingin’ to our hands
Filled with our warped intentions
The tread of our shoes filled with foreign sands
The sun laughs in all our faces
It shows a world that we can’t save
So now, armed with blades in hand
We cut a path from birth to grave
We don’t know where we’re going
But we know that we’re getting there
No rest for the blessed
Long life for the wicked
We don’t think like you think
And we move like no one moves
With a song on our lips, across the land
Born to traverse
We don’t think like you think
And we move like no one moves
With a song on our lips, across the land
Born to traverse
We don’t know where we’re going
But we know, we’re getting there
No rest for the blessed
Long life for the wicked
Like a car crash
Like a landmine
Like mixing drugs, we are dangerous
Like a snake’s tooth
Like thin ice
Like mixing blood, we are dangerous
No rest for the blessed
Long life for the wicked

Midnight Regulations lyrics - alexisonfire
I find myself concerned
For the common man, these days
Evil are the minds
That push the divide
Forced to live a life
In fear that his future is on the wane
Midnight regulations
Midnight regulations
Burns his candle down
Working to make ends meet
But what can be done
About the way things have become
Fingers to the bone
Ready to admit defeat
Midnight regulations
Midnight
Brother! There is no charity
For the common man
When he is in need of relief
And now he’s hanging on
To his final stitch of faith
So, here’s to all the years
Of deaf ear fallen prayers
Rich men behind closed doors
Are trying to keep him in his place
Midnight regulations
Midnight regulations
Oh, all you common men
You need to fight for a new way
Old hearts, we need to mend
It’s time to start again
Palace walls dismantled
Brick by brick, you will have your day
Midnight regulations
Midnight
Brother! There is no charity
For the common man
When he is in need of relief
They say just hold onto your hope
But you know if you swallow your pride
You will choke
Brother! There is no charity
For the common man
When he is in need of relief
Midnight regulations
For the common man, these days
Evil are the minds
That push the divide
Forced to live a life
In fear that his future is on the wane
Midnight regulations
Midnight regulations
Burns his candle down
Working to make ends meet
But what can be done
About the way things have become
Fingers to the bone
Ready to admit defeat
Midnight regulations
Midnight
Brother! There is no charity

When he is in need of relief
And now he’s hanging on
To his final stitch of faith
So, here’s to all the years

Emerald Street lyrics - alexisonfire
Pregnant teens on the Barton street bus
Homeless people are living off crust
And there’s a beat-up town car - it’s starting to rust
Hard soles are kicking up dust
Half a million people living in the corpse of the brown brick 50’s
To the north, all the small town outcasts are now big city bourgeoisie
All the boys in the halfway houses
Wave to the girls of Emerald Street
Our calloused fingers, blood red on the brick - but we hold on
We’ll never falter, though they want us to slip - we hold on
The desperate, downtown stealing bikes
Drunks in the village are picking fights
So, police line the streets to read them their rights
No controlling hot summer nights
The sun goes down on the edge of town, at the end of everyday
We sit and watch the stacks, on fire, to the east across the bay
All the boys in the halfway houses
Wave to the girls of Emerald Street
Our calloused fingers, blood red on the brick - but we hold on
We’ll never falter, though they want us to slip - we hold on
There’s something in the church belfry
At the corner of Victoria and king
And it screams out into the night
It sings this city’s plight
All the boys in the halfway houses
Wave to the girls of Emerald Street
Hold on
Hold on
Our calloused fingers, blood red on the brick - but we hold on
We’ll never falter, though they want us to slip - we hold on
Homeless people are living off crust
And there’s a beat-up town car - it’s starting to rust
Hard soles are kicking up dust
Half a million people living in the corpse of the brown brick 50’s
To the north, all the small town outcasts are now big city bourgeoisie
All the boys in the halfway houses
Wave to the girls of Emerald Street
Our calloused fingers, blood red on the brick - but we hold on
We’ll never falter, though they want us to slip - we hold on
The desperate, downtown stealing bikes
Drunks in the village are picking fights
So, police line the streets to read them their rights
No controlling hot summer nights
The sun goes down on the edge of town, at the end of everyday
We sit and watch the stacks, on fire, to the east across the bay
All the boys in the halfway houses
Wave to the girls of Emerald Street
Our calloused fingers, blood red on the brick - but we hold on
We’ll never falter, though they want us to slip - we hold on
There’s something in the church belfry
At the corner of Victoria and king
And it screams out into the night
It sings this city’s plight
All the boys in the halfway houses
Wave to the girls of Emerald Street
Hold on
Hold on
Our calloused fingers, blood red on the brick - but we hold on
We’ll never falter, though they want us to slip - we hold on
Heading For The Sun lyrics - alexisonfire
They are the nameless victims of a generation lost
Searching for somewhere to exist
Held captive by our mistakes
Weak and unable to resist
Resentful minds have ruled too long
You and old, weak and strong
We will drag our hindsight through the twilight of this era
To where our freedom reigns and the old thought is laid to dust
Let the philistines wallow in their decadence
While the enlightened minds usher in the dawning of a new
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
Time will come when we are all condemned
For all the damage we have done
Held accountable for all
Battles lost, battles won
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
And the earth will coil each year, getting closer to its end
What will our lesson be, when we are all ablaze?
That our benevolence was the start of our decay
Or that we did not learn from the mistakes of the past?
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
Searching for somewhere to exist
Held captive by our mistakes
Weak and unable to resist
Resentful minds have ruled too long
You and old, weak and strong
We will drag our hindsight through the twilight of this era
To where our freedom reigns and the old thought is laid to dust
Let the philistines wallow in their decadence
While the enlightened minds usher in the dawning of a new
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
Time will come when we are all condemned
For all the damage we have done
Held accountable for all
Battles lost, battles won
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
And the earth will coil each year, getting closer to its end
What will our lesson be, when we are all ablaze?
That our benevolence was the start of our decay
Or that we did not learn from the mistakes of the past?
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
Accept Crime lyrics - alexisonfire
Everybody on the count of three
Accept crime 1-2-3
Bethlehem to Galilee
Accept crime 1-2-3
Between the sheets, the voyeur watches you
And each caress takes us one step further from his tired truth
Say, we will be free to use our bodies as we please
We will be free to use our bodies as we please
Say hey! There's no police!
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts
Hey! There's no police!
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts
Let the clergy damn our every emotion
Until every impulse is a revolution
And will we know to bring good, we'll let it carry us through
It's your chance to use your disobedience
We will say:
We will be free to use our bodies as we please
We will be free to use our bodies as we please
Say hey! There's no police!
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts
Hey! There's no police!
There's no police, no police between two beating hearts
I'll feel no guilt
I won't repent
Day to day I accept crime
And that's for me to confess
Hey! There's no police!
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts
Hey! There's no police!
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts
Between two beating hearts [x4]
I know
Accept crime 1-2-3
Bethlehem to Galilee
Accept crime 1-2-3
Between the sheets, the voyeur watches you
And each caress takes us one step further from his tired truth
Say, we will be free to use our bodies as we please
We will be free to use our bodies as we please
Say hey! There's no police!
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts
Hey! There's no police!
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts
Let the clergy damn our every emotion
Until every impulse is a revolution
And will we know to bring good, we'll let it carry us through
It's your chance to use your disobedience
We will say:
We will be free to use our bodies as we please
We will be free to use our bodies as we please
Say hey! There's no police!
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts
Hey! There's no police!
There's no police, no police between two beating hearts
I'll feel no guilt
I won't repent
Day to day I accept crime
And that's for me to confess
Hey! There's no police!
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts
Hey! There's no police!
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts
Between two beating hearts [x4]

Burial lyrics - alexisonfire
When will this winter end?
The snow’s been falling for months
The town all dressed in white
And my skin is burning from the wind
The cold sun in disguise
An assault from the morning light
My burial, I can’t succeed
Frozen and paralyzed
Oh winter [x8]
Oh no
ooooooooh [x6]
Oh winter [x8]
ooooooooh [x5]
The snow’s been falling for months
The town all dressed in white
And my skin is burning from the wind
The cold sun in disguise
An assault from the morning light
My burial, I can’t succeed
Frozen and paralyzed
Oh winter [x8]
Oh no
ooooooooh [x6]
Oh winter [x8]
ooooooooh [x5]
Two Sisters lyrics - alexisonfire
Jenny's in the basement
Burning, taking the church books
Yelling at the boys
She's mad as this crooked world
Those two sisters
Self-conscious and amused
Stand like sculptures
Growing up
In front of him
Taking his abuse
Alright, they share a secret
No loyalty awaits to seek
No fault, no shame
No rust in their hearts
She's so good to me
Our hands, our mouth, our body
Boys in the back are making fists
'Cause they don't understand
They ain't ever been in love like this
She's so good to me
Our hands, our mouth, our body
Girls on the dance floor, shake their hips
'Cause they don't understand
They ain't never been in love like this
They ain't never been in love like this
They ain't never been in love like this
They ain't never been in love like this
Burning, taking the church books
Yelling at the boys
She's mad as this crooked world
Those two sisters
Self-conscious and amused
Stand like sculptures
Growing up
In front of him
Taking his abuse
Alright, they share a secret
No loyalty awaits to seek
No fault, no shame
No rust in their hearts
She's so good to me
Our hands, our mouth, our body
Boys in the back are making fists
'Cause they don't understand
They ain't ever been in love like this
She's so good to me
Our hands, our mouth, our body
Girls on the dance floor, shake their hips
'Cause they don't understand
They ain't never been in love like this
They ain't never been in love like this
They ain't never been in love like this
They ain't never been in love like this
Wayfarer Youth lyrics - alexisonfire
Look Forward
Look forward
All you highway livers
It’s time to leave the landlord
Swinging from the highest tree
We don’t live, we flow
To every corner of the earth
Fuck your fences, fuck your borders
This tribe is taking back the map.
I’m Battened Down
With the days of young
We’ll make home in the mountains with the ones we love
I’m battened down
With the days of young
Until the day I die
I’ll always curse the sun
Look forward
Look forward
All you displaced boys and girls
We travel where we please
No mark for the stationary
Every skyline beats in my chest
Somewhere between love and sadness
Desire for something new
Leads us to everywhere.
After all that we’ve been through
VIVA THE WAYFARER YOUTH!
Just give us something new
VIVA THE WAYFARER YOUTH!
I’m Battened Down
With the days of young
We’ll make home in the mountains with the ones we love
I’m battened down

Until the day I die
I’ll always curse the sun

[George:] Alright!
[Wade:] This is from our hearts.
Sincerity over simple chords.
We made some mistakes
We made some mistakes
But it's a long time coming when you're giving it everything.
[2x]
[George:] Alright!
This is from our hearts
And it's been right from the start
There's fire in my guts you just can't put out
Alright!
This is from our hearts (From our hearts)
And there is always going to be a part
Of this crowd who don't understand
Oh, and I feel the same
I won't ever change
Not a jaded hair upon my head
Are you pretending? (That you care)
Are you even listening?
Are you pretending? (That you understand)
Are you even?
[George:] Suits to the left
Squares to the right
Cause my heart - my heart is full
And we ride to fight.
[4x]
We ride to fight.
Are you pretending? (That you care)
Are you even listening?
Are you pretending? (That you understand)
Are you even listening?
Are you pretending?
Are you, are you?
Are you even listening?
Are you pretending that your heart's in the right place?
Are you pretending?
Are you even listening?
Are you pretending?
Are you even?
There's no need to waste my time
Spending your life jumping from sinking ship to sinking ship
Well I think I'd rather drown
I know I'd rather drown
Oh, and I feel the same
I won't ever change
Not a jaded hair upon my head
[Wade:] This is from our hearts.
Sincerity over simple chords.
We made some mistakes
We made some mistakes
But it's a long time coming when you're giving it everything.
[2x]
[George:] Alright!
This is from our hearts
And it's been right from the start
There's fire in my guts you just can't put out
Alright!
This is from our hearts (From our hearts)
And there is always going to be a part
Of this crowd who don't understand
Oh, and I feel the same
I won't ever change
Not a jaded hair upon my head

Are you pretending that your heart's in the right place?
Are you pretending?

There's no need to waste my time
Spending your life jumping from sinking ship to sinking ship

This Could Be Anywhere In The World lyrics - alexisonfire
[George:] This town has its claws buried in my neck
This town, it takes lives, without mercy, without hate
[Dallas:] The streets are in distress
The sun suffocates behind darkened skies
[George:] The grass is growing on top of my feet
I'm sinking, won't be long, before I'm too deep to run
[Dallas:] The line up seems endless
Underneath the salvation signs.
[George:] We are the dead ones, we are the lost cause
We are the bend before the break. Our steps seal our fate.
[Chorus:]
Because this city, this city is haunted
By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted
And there's no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls).
[George:] Every step I take I leave a small piece
Of myself behind. Soon there will be nothing left.
[Dallas:] The cracks in the pavement,
Match the cracks in their weathered skin
[George:] The sky's a brick wall
The ground's a juggernaut
Each day they get a bit closer
Between them, I am caught.
[Dallas:] I stare in amazement,
I can't believe this is where I live.
[George:] Every breath I take I feel my lungs seal
This breeze feels more like shards of glass I'm more scars than skin
[Chorus:]
Because this city, this city is haunted
By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted
And there's no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls).
[George:] Our steps seal fate, our steps seal fate.
This is our celebration
Come join the lost souls
[x2]
[Dallas:] This city, this city is haunted.
[George:] Oh! Walk with us. Oh! Down. Walk with us.
[Chorus:]
This city, this city is haunted
By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted
And there's no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls).
This town, it takes lives, without mercy, without hate
[Dallas:] The streets are in distress
The sun suffocates behind darkened skies
[George:] The grass is growing on top of my feet

Because this city, this city is haunted
And there's no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls).
Mailbox Arson lyrics - alexisonfire
Your mail's not safe in this town. [4x]
[George:] I strike a red bird on your face
And pour the kerosene in your mouth
I watch the match fall down your throat
I burn all your precious bowels
I watch the smoke pour from every crack
And breathe in your secret lives
All your bills, pay and welfare cheques
But I don't think I can stay for long
There's lots more mail that's not yet ash
Your mail's not safe in this town. [3x]
Well, I'm taking this all back.
[Dallas:] I watch the smoke start to rise
One hundred homes, one hundred fires.
Everything you own now burns away.
This town is no longer mine.
It's fucked with me for the last time.
How I wish that I could see your face..
[George:] When the sky is streaked with plumes
Know that it's my signature
Upon this wretched fucking city.
Mailbox arson,
My sweet revenge.
Mailbox arson,
My sweet revenge.
[Dallas:] I'll strike a match and burn away -
Every tie that binds me to this place
[4x]
[George:] When the smoke clears,
You can consider us even.
Your mail's not safe in this town. [3x]
Well, I'm taking this all back.
[Dallas:] I watch the smoke start to rise
One hundred homes, one hundred fires.
Everything you own now burns away.
This town is no longer mine.
It's fucked with me for the last time.
How I wish that I could see your face..
[George:] I strike a red bird on your face
And pour the kerosene in your mouth
I watch the match fall down your throat
I burn all your precious bowels
I watch the smoke pour from every crack
And breathe in your secret lives
All your bills, pay and welfare cheques
But I don't think I can stay for long
There's lots more mail that's not yet ash
Your mail's not safe in this town. [3x]
Well, I'm taking this all back.
[Dallas:] I watch the smoke start to rise
One hundred homes, one hundred fires.
Everything you own now burns away.
This town is no longer mine.
It's fucked with me for the last time.
How I wish that I could see your face..
[George:] When the sky is streaked with plumes
Know that it's my signature
Upon this wretched fucking city.
Mailbox arson,
My sweet revenge.
Mailbox arson,
My sweet revenge.
[Dallas:] I'll strike a match and burn away -
Every tie that binds me to this place

You can consider us even.
Your mail's not safe in this town. [3x]

Boiled Frogs lyrics - alexisonfire
[George:] A man sits at his desk
One year from retirement,
And he's up for review
Not quite sure what to do.
Each passing year
The workload grows.
[Dallas:] I'm always wishing, I'm always wishing too late
For things to go my way
It always ends up the same
(Count your blessings)
I must be missing, I must be missing the point
Your signal fades away and all I'm left with is noise
(Count your blessings on one hand)
So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight.
There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life
[George:] Poor little tin man, still swinging his axe,
Even though his joints are clogged with rust.
[Wade:] My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away.
Safe in monotony, (so safe), day after day
(Count your blessings)
My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away.
Cold wind blows off the lake, and I know for sure that it's too late
(Count your blessings on one hand)
[Dallas:] So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight
There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life.
Can't help but feel betrayed, punch the clock every single day
There's no loyalty and no remorse.
Youth sold for a pension cheque
And it makes him fucking sick
He's heating up, he can't say no
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh)
So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight,
There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life.
(So wait up)
So wait up I'm not sleeping alone again tonight
Between the light and shallow waves is where I'm going to die
Wait up for me
Wait up for me
One year from retirement,
And he's up for review
Not quite sure what to do.
Each passing year
The workload grows.
[Dallas:] I'm always wishing, I'm always wishing too late
For things to go my way
It always ends up the same
(Count your blessings)
I must be missing, I must be missing the point
Your signal fades away and all I'm left with is noise
(Count your blessings on one hand)
So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight.
There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life
[George:] Poor little tin man, still swinging his axe,
Even though his joints are clogged with rust.
[Wade:] My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away.
Safe in monotony, (so safe), day after day
(Count your blessings)
My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away.
Cold wind blows off the lake, and I know for sure that it's too late
(Count your blessings on one hand)
[Dallas:] So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight
There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life.
Can't help but feel betrayed, punch the clock every single day

And it makes him fucking sick
He's heating up, he can't say no
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh)

There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life.
(So wait up)
So wait up I'm not sleeping alone again tonight
Between the light and shallow waves is where I'm going to die
Wait up for me
Wait up for me
We Are The Sound lyrics - alexisonfire
[George:] Children roam these empty streets
With lust filled eyes and jagged hearts
Narrow frames and crooked teeth,
The whole more valuable than each part.
And the grasp you have upon this group
Is as fragile as a pile of ash.
They know your lies and weakness
With each open hand you bluntly lash.
Oh, these soft legged girls
And hard faced boys.
They know no God,
They have no voice.
[Dallas:] So what is this I see?
There is nothing but anger -
Burning inside of me
Oh, these soft legged girls
(Do you wish to feel complete?)
And hard faced boys.
(Say you want it, you need it.)
They know no God,
They have no voice.
We are the sound.
We don't belong.
So raise up your hands
And sing along.
[2x]
[George:] Girls with fire in their eyes.
Boys with will and aim that's true
Living in a jilted world
Contempt spreads just like the flu.
So let's all take some solace
In one thing that we all can trust
Adults can be fucked up, too.
Sometimes even more than us.
Oh, these soft legged girls
(Do you wish to feel complete?)
And hard faced boys.
(Say you want it, you need it.)
They know no God,
They have no voice.
We are the sound.
We have no voice.
[2x]
[Dallas:] We are the sound.
We don't belong.
So raise up your hands
And sing along.
[2x]
And sing along..
With lust filled eyes and jagged hearts
Narrow frames and crooked teeth,
The whole more valuable than each part.
And the grasp you have upon this group
Is as fragile as a pile of ash.
They know your lies and weakness
With each open hand you bluntly lash.
Oh, these soft legged girls
And hard faced boys.
They know no God,
They have no voice.
[Dallas:] So what is this I see?
There is nothing but anger -
Burning inside of me
Oh, these soft legged girls
(Do you wish to feel complete?)
And hard faced boys.
(Say you want it, you need it.)
They know no God,
They have no voice.
We are the sound.
We don't belong.
So raise up your hands

You Burn First lyrics - alexisonfire
I said, "Cover me, if there is a fire
'cause I want you to burn first"
She screamed at me, "I want to be desired"
I said, "Easy girl, I know it hurts
Let's all give thanks that I am a liar
'cause I got a feeling I just might get worse
Now there's nothing wrong with you I'm just tired
And I'm in a mood for a brand new curse"
You burn first
You burn first
You burn first
"Cover me, if there is a fire
'cause I want you to burn first"
She screamed at me, "I want to be desired"
I said, "Easy girl, I know it hurts
Let's all give thanks that I am a liar
'cause I got a feeling I just might get worse
Now there's nothing wrong with you I've just grown tired
And I'm in a mood for a brand new curse"
'cause I want you to burn first"
She screamed at me, "I want to be desired"
I said, "Easy girl, I know it hurts
Let's all give thanks that I am a liar
'cause I got a feeling I just might get worse
Now there's nothing wrong with you I'm just tired
And I'm in a mood for a brand new curse"
You burn first
You burn first
You burn first
"Cover me, if there is a fire
'cause I want you to burn first"
She screamed at me, "I want to be desired"
I said, "Easy girl, I know it hurts
Let's all give thanks that I am a liar
'cause I got a feeling I just might get worse
Now there's nothing wrong with you I've just grown tired
And I'm in a mood for a brand new curse"
We Are The End lyrics - alexisonfire
[Dallas:] Look around, look around.
There's no affection, only infection.
Search yourself, search yourself.
Can I depend on you to surrender?
[George:] And we will storm their shores,
Eyes suffocating all they see.
Feet sturdy on the rubble that will soon be dust.
And there will be no ruins, no memory, no history
Only our unrelenting march side by side,
We will comb the earth and sweep it clean, hearts and feet unified.
The hand of man is no match for our warless army.
Please tell me that this is the end of the world.
(And we will strike with the arms of Gods and leave nothing in our wake)
It's time that we erase history
(And we will strike with the arms of Gods)
Without a trace or a memory
(On my word, we will seize fate)
Please tell me that this is the end of the world.
(And we will strike with the arms of Gods and leave nothing in our wake)
It's time that we erase history
(And we will strike with the arms of Gods)
Without a trace or a memory
(Destiny choked in our wage)
[George:] Steadfast soldiers with hands of Gods
And the numbers to succeed.
We will persist until all that's left is a perfect sphere.
Never a break in the chain,
Never a folly of conviction,
And may the traitors' ashes seal the barren landscape.
We are the end! [2x]
Please tell me that this is the end of the world.
(And we will strike with the arms of Gods and leave nothing in our wake)
It's time that we erase history
(And we will strike with the arms of Gods)
Without a trace or a memory
(On my word, we will seize fate)
Please tell me that this is the end of the world.
(And we will strike with the arms of Gods and leave nothing in our wake)
It's time that we erase history
(And we will strike with the arms of Gods)
Without a trace or a memory
(Destiny choked in our wage)
[Dallas:] Look around, look around.
There's no affection, only infection.
Search yourself, search yourself.
Can I depend on you to surrender?
Can I depend on you to surrender?
Please tell me that this is the end of the world.
(And we will strike with the arms of Gods and leave nothing in our wake)
It's time that we erase history
(And we will strike with the arms of Gods)
Without a trace or a memory

Please tell me that this is the end of the world.
(And we will strike with the arms of Gods and leave nothing in our wake)

Crisis lyrics - alexisonfire
[George:] Yeah, this town is going under!
The temperature's through the floor
Your fingers are turning black.
There's a crisis knocking at your door!
(One nine seven seven, one nine seven seven)
You'd better try to make it home.
The snow is getting too deep to drive.
Your car might be your coffin.
(One nine seven seven, one nine seven seven)
We're never going to see the summer
This season's coming long and hard.
Yeah, this town is going under.
This season's going to kill us all.
Count the snow flakes, little children.
Count them as they bury you alive.
Count them as they choke the road ways.
A blizzard's coming in the year punk died.
(One nine seven seven)
This season's left us all helpless.
I can't see and even God is blind
And deaf to all your prayers.
(One nine seven seven, one nine seven seven.)
There's nothing that you can do.
This weather's stronger than us all.
The sky is going to crush you.
(One nine seven seven, one nine seven seven)
[Dallas:] This season's growing cold,
I fear that this could be the end.
And there's no sign of hope.
We've got a crisis on our hands.
[George:] The junkie is trapped indoors.
Pretty soon he's going to need a fix,
But the weather's not going to let him,
And he's starting to get the itch.
This season's holding us all hostage,
Better do whatever it demands.
Carter knows that we've got a crisis
Weighing on our frost bitten hands.
(ONE!)
There's nothing that you can do.
The sky is going to crush you.
(NINE!)
There's nothing that you can do.
The sky is going to crush you.
(SEVEN!)
There's nothing that you can do.
The sky is going to crush you.
(SEVEN!)
There's nothing that you can do.
The sky is going to crush you.
[Dallas:] This season's growing cold,
I fear that this could be the end.
And there's no sign of hope.
We've got a crisis on our hands.

Keep It On Wax lyrics - alexisonfire
[Wade:] I, I guess the only thing cheap to you was your friends
[George:] You can always make new friends
[Wade:] (oh well, oh well)
[George:] But when you sell them out will they be worth as much?
[2x]
[George:] Now this bridge is ashes
It might as well have never been built
It might as well have never been built
and the river that it crossed
Looks like an ocean now
looks like an ocean now
[Wade:] Times change and people change with them
Some people love to play the victim
[Dallas:] Love to play the victim
[Wade:] You threw caution to the wind
Washed away these few last years for nothing
[Dallas:] Was it all for nothing?
[Chris:] Keep it on wax
[George:] You're not the only one
Who's had to make sacrifices
We all had to make sacrifices
And time won't heal shit
When you've got your hands in my pockets
When you've got your hands
[George:] Kick, Kick, Kick
Scream, Scream, Scream
[Wade:] It don't change a goddamn thing (It don't change)
[George:] Kick, Kick, Kick
Scream, Scream, Scream (A goddamn thing)
[2x]
[Wade:] I, I guess, the only thing cheap to you is your friends
I guess, the only thing cheap to you is your friends
I guess, the only thing cheap to you is your friends
I guess, the only thing cheap to you is your friends
[George:] Oh, what a fucking shame
Oh, that you had to mess things up this bad
[Wade:] Times change and people change with them
Some people love to play the victim
[Dallas:] Love to play the victim
[Wade:] You threw caution to the wind
Washed away these few last years for nothing
[Dallas:] Was it all for nothing?
[Wade:] It's gone, it's gone
[George:] There's nothing left
[Chris:] Keep it on wax
[2x]
[George:] You can always make new friends
[Wade:] (oh well, oh well)
[George:] But when you sell them out will they be worth as much?
[2x]
[George:] Now this bridge is ashes
It might as well have never been built
It might as well have never been built
and the river that it crossed
Looks like an ocean now
looks like an ocean now
[Wade:] Times change and people change with them
Some people love to play the victim
[Dallas:] Love to play the victim
[Wade:] You threw caution to the wind
Washed away these few last years for nothing

We all had to make sacrifices
And time won't heal shit
When you've got your hands in my pockets
When you've got your hands
[George:] Kick, Kick, Kick
Scream, Scream, Scream
[Wade:] It don't change a goddamn thing (It don't change)
[George:] Kick, Kick, Kick
Scream, Scream, Scream (A goddamn thing)
[2x]
[Wade:] I, I guess, the only thing cheap to you is your friends
I guess, the only thing cheap to you is your friends
I guess, the only thing cheap to you is your friends
I guess, the only thing cheap to you is your friends
[George:] Oh, what a fucking shame
Oh, that you had to mess things up this bad
[Wade:] Times change and people change with them
Some people love to play the victim
[Dallas:] Love to play the victim
[Wade:] You threw caution to the wind
Washed away these few last years for nothing
[Dallas:] Was it all for nothing?
[Wade:] It's gone, it's gone
[George:] There's nothing left
[Chris:] Keep it on wax
[2x]
To A Friend lyrics - alexisonfire
I think that it's time to get out
My patients are fading fast
the mind bruises just a little bit easier
in dark times and shadow's cast
What are you suffering for?
Your pride or some kind of personal war?
And will you throw it away?
For nothing more than a simple taste?
[Chorus]
I'll stay in time and watch you pass by (paranoia woven deep beneath my skin)
I draw this line and hope you'll take my side (breathe slow, breathe slow)
You shouldn't have to fight alone (you shouldn't have to fight at all)
It's nobody's battle but your own
Panic holds me like a gun
firm and steadfast bleak and cold
I think it's time to kill the drama
This life style's getting old
*Whispers behind closed doors
eyes spy from dark windows
Plotting minds seek to harm me,
or maybe not, I don't really know
There is something
Waiting for me
in the darkest part of my imagination
[Chorus]
I'll stay in time and watch you pass by (paranoia woven deep beneath my skin)
I draw this line and hope you'll take my side (breathe slow, breathe slow)
You shouldn't have to fight alone (you shouldn't have to fight at all)
It's nobody's battle but your own
This is just self-induced terror
There's more to come, this is just a glimpse
I tell myself it's all in my head
but I'm pretty hard to convince
Oh, there's no relief
Oh, this world can offer
Oh, there's no relief
Oh, this world can offer me
I'll stay in time and watch you pass by
I draw this line and hope you'll take my side
You shouldn't have to fight alone
It's nobody's battle but your own
My patients are fading fast
the mind bruises just a little bit easier
in dark times and shadow's cast
What are you suffering for?
Your pride or some kind of personal war?
And will you throw it away?
For nothing more than a simple taste?
[Chorus]
I'll stay in time and watch you pass by (paranoia woven deep beneath my skin)
I draw this line and hope you'll take my side (breathe slow, breathe slow)
You shouldn't have to fight alone (you shouldn't have to fight at all)
It's nobody's battle but your own
Panic holds me like a gun
firm and steadfast bleak and cold
I think it's time to kill the drama
This life style's getting old
*Whispers behind closed doors
eyes spy from dark windows
Plotting minds seek to harm me,
or maybe not, I don't really know
There is something
Waiting for me
in the darkest part of my imagination
[Chorus]
I'll stay in time and watch you pass by (paranoia woven deep beneath my skin)
I draw this line and hope you'll take my side (breathe slow, breathe slow)
You shouldn't have to fight alone (you shouldn't have to fight at all)
It's nobody's battle but your own
This is just self-induced terror
There's more to come, this is just a glimpse
I tell myself it's all in my head
but I'm pretty hard to convince
Oh, there's no relief
Oh, this world can offer
Oh, there's no relief
Oh, this world can offer me
I'll stay in time and watch you pass by
I draw this line and hope you'll take my side
You shouldn't have to fight alone
It's nobody's battle but your own
Rough Hands lyrics - alexisonfire
Was I left behind?
Someone tell me, tell me I survived
And don't look so surprised
that I'm home, but just for tonight
With rough hands and sore eyes
So don't speak, I am tired
Let's just live through this lie
She says I swear too much
She says a lot of things
Well I'd swear every other word if I could
For her, I'll make an attempt
Sometimes love isn't about
how much someone suits you
But how much you're willing to change
to suit them
All my bones are dust
(two people too damaged too much too late)
And my heart sealed with rust
(two people too damaged too much too late)
These hands will always be rough
(two people too damaged too much too late)
I know this won't count for much
(two people too damaged too much too late)
One day my hands were too soft
One day she said, "I'm tired"
One day her clothes were on my floor
One day, empty bottles
I'm not saying she's my last
I'm just saying that she could have been
It doesn't matter how rough these hands get
It doesn't matter 'cause I'm not her man
Rough hands, rough days
Rough hands, rough nights
Rough hands, rough season
Rough hands, rough fights...
All my bones are dust (Rough hands, rough days)
(two people too damaged too much too late)
And my heart sealed with rust (Rough hands, rough season)
(two people too damaged too much too late)
These hands will always be rough (Rough hands, rough days)
(two people too damaged too much too late)
I know this won't count for much (Rough hands, rough season)
(two people too damaged too much too late)
Someone tell me, tell me I survived
And don't look so surprised
that I'm home, but just for tonight
With rough hands and sore eyes
So don't speak, I am tired
Let's just live through this lie
She says I swear too much
She says a lot of things
Well I'd swear every other word if I could
For her, I'll make an attempt
Sometimes love isn't about
how much someone suits you
But how much you're willing to change
to suit them
All my bones are dust
(two people too damaged too much too late)
And my heart sealed with rust
(two people too damaged too much too late)
These hands will always be rough
(two people too damaged too much too late)
I know this won't count for much
(two people too damaged too much too late)
One day my hands were too soft
One day she said, "I'm tired"
One day her clothes were on my floor
One day, empty bottles
I'm not saying she's my last
I'm just saying that she could have been
It doesn't matter how rough these hands get
It doesn't matter 'cause I'm not her man
Rough hands, rough days
Rough hands, rough nights
Rough hands, rough season
Rough hands, rough fights...
All my bones are dust (Rough hands, rough days)
(two people too damaged too much too late)
And my heart sealed with rust (Rough hands, rough season)
(two people too damaged too much too late)
These hands will always be rough (Rough hands, rough days)
(two people too damaged too much too late)
I know this won't count for much (Rough hands, rough season)
(two people too damaged too much too late)
My God Is A Reasonable Man lyrics - alexisonfire
I don't care, I won't preach it
My god's a reasonable man
You preach the facts of sacred prayers
But your a terrorist of bigotry
Fueled by text that was written
In dead languages and different times
I don't care, I won't preach it
My god's a reasonable man
I don't care, I won't preach it
My god's a reasonable man
I don't care, I won't preach it
My god's a reasonable man
And your justice, and your lifestyle
My god's a reasonable man
And your faith doesn't speak for us all
'Cause my god's a reasonable man
It's time to separate faith and politics
It's time to realize that in ten-year's time
This song will be all that's left of me
And this song won't need to be sung
Your problem is that
You think it's no use
And swimming in another christian world
Now you have the balls so show the power
So why's the shit back in human rights?
Get what? get back!
My god's a reasonable man
Get what? get back!
My god's a reasonable man
Our hands again
They will get sick
All with your politics
By mixing God
This city war, you take all of your
Convictions to the morgue
Get what? get back!
Get what? get back!
My god's a reasonable man
Get what? get back!
My god's a reasonable man
My god's a reasonable man
You preach the facts of sacred prayers
But your a terrorist of bigotry
Fueled by text that was written
In dead languages and different times
I don't care, I won't preach it
My god's a reasonable man
I don't care, I won't preach it
My god's a reasonable man
I don't care, I won't preach it
My god's a reasonable man
And your justice, and your lifestyle
My god's a reasonable man
And your faith doesn't speak for us all
'Cause my god's a reasonable man
It's time to separate faith and politics
It's time to realize that in ten-year's time
This song will be all that's left of me
And this song won't need to be sung
Your problem is that
You think it's no use
And swimming in another christian world
Now you have the balls so show the power
So why's the shit back in human rights?
Get what? get back!
My god's a reasonable man
Get what? get back!
My god's a reasonable man
Our hands again
They will get sick
All with your politics
By mixing God
This city war, you take all of your
Convictions to the morgue
Get what? get back!
Get what? get back!
My god's a reasonable man
Get what? get back!
My god's a reasonable man
Thrones lyrics - alexisonfire
I don't need a generation of burning on the ledge,
Don't need your ancient wisdom,
Two things I'll live without.
[x2]
Relax,
(As children rest)
Patience people,
There's no need to react so desperately tonight.
(You don't need to know the things I know)
In fact,
(as children rest)
All of you will be sleeping with honesty intact,
(Our innocence intact)
So just give up tonight.
(If I knew then what I know now, I'd stay six years old)
If you lost everything in a moment, would you notice?
Could you rebuild something so hopeless?
Are you hopeless?
And when you wake alone, with no one left to hold,
You wont need to know all the things I know.
Paradise in every swimming pool,
Paradise in every playground slide,
Paradise, fresh baked in a cookie jar.
If I were you, I would defend my innocence visually.
I would fight all that tried to rob me of that.
Because there's some things you just don't need to know.
Tragedy in the dentist's office,
Tragedy in every skinned knee,
Tragedy spilled all over the kitchen floor.
I don't need a generation of burning on the ledge,
Don't need your ancient wisdom,
Two things I'll live without.
[x2]
When you awake alone, with no one left to hold,
You won't need to know all the things I know,
You won't need to know all the things I know,
You won't need to know all the things I know.
I don't need a generation of burning on the ledge,
Don't need your ancient wisdom,
Two things I'll live without.
[x2]
Don't need your ancient wisdom,
Two things I'll live without.
[x2]
Relax,
(As children rest)
Patience people,
There's no need to react so desperately tonight.
(You don't need to know the things I know)
In fact,
(as children rest)
All of you will be sleeping with honesty intact,
(Our innocence intact)
So just give up tonight.
(If I knew then what I know now, I'd stay six years old)
If you lost everything in a moment, would you notice?
Could you rebuild something so hopeless?
Are you hopeless?
And when you wake alone, with no one left to hold,
You wont need to know all the things I know.
Paradise in every swimming pool,
Paradise in every playground slide,
Paradise, fresh baked in a cookie jar.
If I were you, I would defend my innocence visually.
I would fight all that tried to rob me of that.
Because there's some things you just don't need to know.
Tragedy in the dentist's office,

When you awake alone, with no one left to hold,
You won't need to know all the things I know,
You won't need to know all the things I know,
You won't need to know all the things I know.
I don't need a generation of burning on the ledge,
Don't need your ancient wisdom,
Two things I'll live without.

Passing Out In America lyrics - alexisonfire
Originally by Moneen
No, I won't go, I want to stay here with you
No, I won't go, I want to stay here with you...
Now, say what you need, don't hesitate make that call.
If you need help, scream "HEY YOU", quietly one more time "hey you".
Dreams they don't help, but they do stop the hurt for now.
I guess we will have to figure this one out...
Now, say what you need, don't hesitate make that call.
If you need help, scream "HEY YOU", quietly one more time "hey you".
It's the passing of America [x20]
(trust your heart, your heart) [x4]
I wanted to cry [x5]
No, I won't go, I want to stay here with you
No, I won't go, I want to stay here with you...
Now, say what you need, don't hesitate make that call.
If you need help, scream "HEY YOU", quietly one more time "hey you".
Dreams they don't help, but they do stop the hurt for now.
I guess we will have to figure this one out...
Now, say what you need, don't hesitate make that call.
If you need help, scream "HEY YOU", quietly one more time "hey you".
It's the passing of America [x20]
(trust your heart, your heart) [x4]

Tonight I Am Going To Wash The Hippy lyrics - alexisonfire
Originally by Moneen
Too late tonight, I'm gone and your miles ahead and I'm lost.
Throughout this darkened scene, clear skies are what I need. [x2]
The light resides in lines, offset in different times.
And I'm blinded by a sea of this strange memory.
Frames change and I'm still lost.
scene stills lay still in this fog, and I try only to see straight through into you.
Your eyes become so bare, an eager and empty stare.
And I'm blinded by a sea of this strange memory.
And I am...and I see.. it's just me.
And I drift quietly through the trees.
My mind separates from my body.
Days late, I'm not around now..(am I still waiting) I don't care.
Dreams escape all my thoughts. Awake.
I dream of a fate I cannot escape, now it's too late.
Time dies in straight lines. Waiting, I can't take ANYTHING,
You try to believe EVERYTHING, but I can't, but I can't
Too late, tonight I'm gone (And I am)
Too late, tonight I'm gone (And I see)
Too late, tonight I'm gone (It's just me)
Too late, tonight I'm gone
Too late tonight, I'm gone and your miles ahead and I'm lost.
Throughout this darkened scene, clear skies are what I need. [x2]
The light resides in lines, offset in different times.
And I'm blinded by a sea of this strange memory.
Frames change and I'm still lost.
scene stills lay still in this fog, and I try only to see straight through into you.
Your eyes become so bare, an eager and empty stare.
And I'm blinded by a sea of this strange memory.
And I am...and I see.. it's just me.
And I drift quietly through the trees.
My mind separates from my body.
Days late, I'm not around now..(am I still waiting) I don't care.
Dreams escape all my thoughts. Awake.
I dream of a fate I cannot escape, now it's too late.
Time dies in straight lines. Waiting, I can't take ANYTHING,
You try to believe EVERYTHING, but I can't, but I can't
Too late, tonight I'm gone (And I am)
Too late, tonight I'm gone (And I see)
Too late, tonight I'm gone (It's just me)
Too late, tonight I'm gone
Charlie Sheen Vs. Henry Rollins lyrics - alexisonfire
There's four cruisers flashing in my rear view,
And they're not gonna take me out. I’d watch it. What'd you do now?
There's four cruisers weighing on my conscience.
There is one thing for sure, this is not a fucking love song.
My fear is gone, and still I don't know why,
I waited for so long to let you know. (I'm not goin' back!)
Now this is all your fault and there’s no one left to blame.
Did you think we’d make it out? Did you know?
Do you know?
Oh, yeah!
Somewhere out there, there’s a man on the ground who ain't livin' anymore.
And his name is written on my knuckles. Take me. Take my fuckin' burden.
There's four cruisers flashing in my rear view,
They're never gonna take me out. I'd watch it. What'd you do?
In each cruiser is a man with his gun,
And his fancy little bullets with my name on 'em.
My fear is gone, and still I don't know why,
I waited for so long to let you know. (I'm not goin' back!)
Now this was all your fault and there’s no one left to blame.
Did you even think this out? Did you know?
Hey hey, ho ho!
Wild chase to the open road.
Hey hey, ho ho!
This car is too fuckin' slow.
I don't know where I'm going but I'm not slowing down.
And I'll die before I stop this fuckin' car.
Street lights and white lines.
This is all I have left. This is all I have!
Flashing lights and racing hearts.
Will you ever just slow down?
How did we end up here?
And all those sirens are getting louder.
Flashing lights and racing hearts.
I don't think we're gonna make it out.
This won't end well. (...make it out...)
This won't end well.
And they're not gonna take me out. I’d watch it. What'd you do now?
There's four cruisers weighing on my conscience.
There is one thing for sure, this is not a fucking love song.
My fear is gone, and still I don't know why,
I waited for so long to let you know. (I'm not goin' back!)
Now this is all your fault and there’s no one left to blame.
Did you think we’d make it out? Did you know?
Do you know?
Oh, yeah!
Somewhere out there, there’s a man on the ground who ain't livin' anymore.
And his name is written on my knuckles. Take me. Take my fuckin' burden.

I'm not sure what's worse
The waiting or the waiting room
"You're next sir" becomes a cruel taunt to you
Recycled air, the smell of sleep and disinfectant
Your God is a two door elevator
Do they even cure you? (Cut me open drug me)
Or is it just to humor us before we die (Repair all my defects)
If only we could heal ourselves (Whoa whoa whoa...)
We wouldn't need to be hooked up to these machines (Whoa whoa whoa...)
Whoa whoa whoa...
Let's redefine [6x]
What it means to heal
Do they even cure you? (Cut me open drug me)
Or is it just to humor us before we die (Repair all my defects)
If only we could heal ourselves (Whoa whoa whoa...)

Control lyrics - alexisonfire
This burden's not a heavy one
But I assure you, it's present
This burden's not a heavy one
But I assure you, it is present
Say that you're in control
Say that you are
I can't think of a time
When you looked less alive
You say, "Wait until light, my dear,
just wait until light"
One more day will go by
Maybe today you should try
To look past the mirror and find
Look past the mirror
That there's something inside
Something more to your life
My words won't heal you now
My words won't heal
It is you who decides
It is you who decides
This burden's not a heavy one
But I assure you, it's present
This burden's not a heavy one
I assure you
Believe that you are just fine
Believe that you are
You'll feel so alive
You'll feel so alive
Be what you are now (be what you are)
Be what you are
Do not keep it inside
The hate will not subside
Be what you are now (be what you are)
Be what you are
Do not keep it inside
The hate will not subside
It's you, decide
It's you, decide
So alive
You'll feel so alive
This burden's not a heavy one
But I assure, I assure you
This burden's not a heavy one
Not a heavy one
Not a heavy one.
But I assure you, it's present
This burden's not a heavy one
But I assure you, it is present
Say that you're in control
Say that you are
I can't think of a time
When you looked less alive
You say, "Wait until light, my dear,
just wait until light"
One more day will go by
Maybe today you should try
To look past the mirror and find
Look past the mirror
That there's something inside
Something more to your life
My words won't heal you now
My words won't heal
It is you who decides
It is you who decides
This burden's not a heavy one
But I assure you, it's present
This burden's not a heavy one
I assure you
Believe that you are just fine
Believe that you are
You'll feel so alive
You'll feel so alive
Be what you are now (be what you are)
Be what you are
Do not keep it inside
The hate will not subside
Be what you are now (be what you are)
Be what you are
Do not keep it inside
The hate will not subside
It's you, decide
It's you, decide
So alive
You'll feel so alive
This burden's not a heavy one
But I assure, I assure you
This burden's not a heavy one
Not a heavy one
Not a heavy one.
It Was Fear Of Myself That Made Me Odd lyrics - alexisonfire
(Breathe in all the air)
Spinning, arms spread
Crushing the tops of mountains
With my hands
As I dive into the Pacific
I flood the shorelines
And I exhale
Causing the oceans' endless waves
As I emerge
Shaking the wreckage from my hair
With my hands
I want to breathe
Life into the Dead Sea
As this rainforest
Falls beneath my knees
I want to breathe
Life into the Dead Sea
Below, where is your boat?
You are slow, you are slow
I will play until the sky is black (You...)
Breathe in all the air
Exhale and choke the land with carbon (...are so slow, slow)
Burn it all
Looking down
From where I stand
I can see the curvature of the Earth
And I want to make it flat
I will play, the sky is black
I will play, the sky is black.
Spinning, arms spread
Crushing the tops of mountains
With my hands
As I dive into the Pacific
I flood the shorelines
And I exhale
Causing the oceans' endless waves
As I emerge
Shaking the wreckage from my hair
With my hands
I want to breathe
Life into the Dead Sea
As this rainforest
Falls beneath my knees
I want to breathe
Life into the Dead Sea
Below, where is your boat?
You are slow, you are slow
I will play until the sky is black (You...)
Breathe in all the air
Exhale and choke the land with carbon (...are so slow, slow)
Burn it all
Looking down
From where I stand
I can see the curvature of the Earth
And I want to make it flat
I will play, the sky is black
I will play, the sky is black.
Side Walk When She Walks lyrics - alexisonfire
Dressed to kill, you look so right
I am drunk with lust tonight
Your wounds are opening wide
And they might be just my size
Now I'm afraid of open water
But I often bathe in sin
Let's be honest, you know you shouldn't bother
'Cuz with me, it's impossible to win
Dressed to kill, you look so right
I am drunk with lust tonight
Your wounds are opening wide
And they might be just...
There was always
Warmth between us
There was always
Warmth between us
Dressed to kill, you look so right
I am drunk with lust tonight
Your wounds are opening wide
And they might be just my size
Just my size, just my size
Just my size, just my size
Just my size, just my size
Just my size, just my size
Just my size.
I am drunk with lust tonight
Your wounds are opening wide
And they might be just my size
Now I'm afraid of open water
But I often bathe in sin
Let's be honest, you know you shouldn't bother
'Cuz with me, it's impossible to win
Dressed to kill, you look so right
I am drunk with lust tonight
Your wounds are opening wide
And they might be just...
There was always
Warmth between us
There was always
Warmth between us
Dressed to kill, you look so right
I am drunk with lust tonight
Your wounds are opening wide
And they might be just my size
Just my size, just my size
Just my size, just my size
Just my size, just my size
Just my size, just my size
Just my size.
Hey, It's Your Funeral Mama lyrics - alexisonfire
The sky is blue, the grass is brown
My head is buried inside this helmet
The ever present threat of parasites
So take my hand, let's get these motors running!
So you drive red (you drive red)
And I'll drive black (I'll drive black)
(We'll see who's machine was most recently serviced)
We'll slit these rows of Goodyears like a knife
We don't fear [5x]
These machines
I got the scoop, I got the scoop
And it doesn't look so good, so good for you
So you drive red (you drive red)
And I'll drive black (I'll drive black)
(We'll see who's machine was most recently serviced)
We'll cut this row of Goodyear like a knife
Like a knife, like a knife, yeah
We'll cut this row of Goodyear like a knife
So you drive red (you drive red)
And I'll drive black (I'll drive black)
(We'll see who's machine was most recently serviced)
We'll cut this row of Goodyears like a knife.
My head is buried inside this helmet
The ever present threat of parasites
So take my hand, let's get these motors running!
So you drive red (you drive red)
And I'll drive black (I'll drive black)
(We'll see who's machine was most recently serviced)
We'll slit these rows of Goodyears like a knife
We don't fear [5x]
These machines
I got the scoop, I got the scoop
And it doesn't look so good, so good for you
So you drive red (you drive red)
And I'll drive black (I'll drive black)
(We'll see who's machine was most recently serviced)
We'll cut this row of Goodyear like a knife
Like a knife, like a knife, yeah
We'll cut this row of Goodyear like a knife
So you drive red (you drive red)
And I'll drive black (I'll drive black)
(We'll see who's machine was most recently serviced)
We'll cut this row of Goodyears like a knife.
No Transitory lyrics - alexisonfire
I'm in a constant state of getting cut
So why don't I feel anything?
This is a violation
Maybe I forgot what it was like
Before it entered me
So this is what they call
Another endless night
So tired of believing
If this is wrong or right
I think this cause is lost
I wish that I could sleep
I feel like some kind of shadow
Another slave to the week
Imagine if we lived
Under the weather
We would never be found
Never discovered
If everything goes wrong
If it's one more endless night
You'll know there's always tomorrow
And tomorrow...[to fade]
You'll know there's always tomorrow
(You'll know, you'll know) tomorrow
And this knife, this knife
This is my most, this is my most, this is my most important appendage
This is my most, this is my most, this is my most important appendage
Tomorrow [x3]
So now that your whole world
Has gone up into flames
This night is still never ending
Do you think you're still safe?
Seems everything went wrong
We were discovered
But this time there's no tomorrow
And tomorrow [x3]
Tomorrow
Tomorrow (And this knife, this knife)
So why don't I feel anything?
This is a violation
Maybe I forgot what it was like
Before it entered me
So this is what they call
Another endless night
So tired of believing
If this is wrong or right
I think this cause is lost
I wish that I could sleep
I feel like some kind of shadow
Another slave to the week
Imagine if we lived
Under the weather
We would never be found
Never discovered
If everything goes wrong
If it's one more endless night
You'll know there's always tomorrow
And tomorrow...[to fade]
You'll know there's always tomorrow
(You'll know, you'll know) tomorrow
And this knife, this knife
This is my most, this is my most, this is my most important appendage
This is my most, this is my most, this is my most important appendage
Tomorrow [x3]
So now that your whole world
Has gone up into flames
This night is still never ending
Do you think you're still safe?
Seems everything went wrong
We were discovered
But this time there's no tomorrow
And tomorrow [x3]
Tomorrow
Tomorrow (And this knife, this knife)

[Woman]
St. Catharines Psychiatric Help Line, this is Nancy.
[Man]
I'm sure this is all gonna sound really ridiculous and uh... I don't exactly expect anyone to believe all this. Uh... for the last little while I've been kinda keeping correspondance with my sanity, and uhh… I really get the feeling that I’m starting to lose interest in the letter writing process. The pieces of the letters, they just get progressively shorter and shorter until it’s not even a reply. I uhh... the whole thing makes me really nervous. I just wish I could show you what a huge problem this is.
As life hangs beside me
I gather all that I can
You were never one for confrontation
But now it lies all in your hands
Your hands...
[Man]
I kind of have this... Really terrible habit of asking myself all these stupid questions, right? Like what if uhh… what if there's a spot on my body that I can touch to keep my heart from beating? or like what if, what if theres this uhh... stray bullet out there that’s gonna come through my window and take me out? like what if uhh... what if theres this huge unstoppable comet that’s just gonna like, destroy the earth and all of us? Like what... what if that’s happening right now? How can I avoid all these questions if I don't have that? Like, who is gonna be here? Why... who is gonna be there... in the hospital? Who is gonna tell me that all this is bullshit... its a dream? Just a dream.This is not a joke. And uhh... i'll never sleep.
Who will be there to tell
Me how stupid I am? [4x]
Who will keep me from lashing out? (lashing out)
Anxiety chokes me like razor wire (razor wire)
Who will keep me from lashing out? (lashing out)
Anxiety chokes me like razor wire (razor wire)
Now it's all in your hands, in your hands [x4]
(Anxiety chokes me like razor wire)
Anxiety chokes me like razor wire, razor wire... [to fade]

That Girl Possessed lyrics - alexisonfire
We won't forget that girl possessed
We won't forget that girl possessed
Possessed
Who knew her legacy would destroy her future?
You had such promise before your rape
You had such promise before your rape
Born innocent but something had to give
Exploitation, erotica and horror
Even a spread in Oui magazine
And then your habit of getting caught
What a frightful night
Born innocent but something had to give
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't, forget you
(What a frightful night)
You painted a picture so graphic
That no one could
They can't see past it
You painted a picture so graphic
That no one could...
They can't see past it
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't, forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't, forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't forget that girl possessed
We won't forget that girl possessed
Possessed.
We won't forget that girl possessed
Possessed
Who knew her legacy would destroy her future?
You had such promise before your rape
You had such promise before your rape
Born innocent but something had to give
Exploitation, erotica and horror
Even a spread in Oui magazine
And then your habit of getting caught
What a frightful night
Born innocent but something had to give
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't, forget you
(What a frightful night)
You painted a picture so graphic
That no one could
They can't see past it
You painted a picture so graphic
That no one could...
They can't see past it
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't, forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't, we won't, we won't
We won't, forget you
(What a frightful night)
We won't forget that girl possessed
We won't forget that girl possessed
Possessed.
White Devil lyrics - alexisonfire
Hey kids, we got a new white devil
And it goes in your fucking nose
That's right, we got a new white devil
This is how the story goes
Story goes
Watch out!
Glorify, glamorize
Try to forget your sunken eyes
Your dead fad is a disaster
Your fashion is my fucking cancer
Not so fun when your nose is sore
Bloody Kleenex all over the floor
But don't worry, who gives a shit?
All your friends will think you're really hip
Your dead fad is a fucking disaster
Addiction is in, I guess addiction is in, yeah [7x]
Addiction is in, I guess addiction is in this year
Looks so good
Convulsing on the floor, ya sugar!
And the blood from your nose
Matches your lipstick shade
What a fucking nightmare
Look what you have become
White devil, white devil, white devil [3x]
White devil [8x]
And it goes in your fucking nose
That's right, we got a new white devil
This is how the story goes
Story goes
Watch out!
Glorify, glamorize
Try to forget your sunken eyes
Your dead fad is a disaster
Your fashion is my fucking cancer
Not so fun when your nose is sore
Bloody Kleenex all over the floor
But don't worry, who gives a shit?
All your friends will think you're really hip
Your dead fad is a fucking disaster
Addiction is in, I guess addiction is in, yeah [7x]
Addiction is in, I guess addiction is in this year
Looks so good
Convulsing on the floor, ya sugar!
And the blood from your nose
Matches your lipstick shade
What a fucking nightmare
Look what you have become
White devil, white devil, white devil [3x]
White devil [8x]
Get Fighted lyrics - alexisonfire
So make sure you love
Like you've never been hurt
And when you dance, dance
Like there's no one watching you
'Cuz You can waste your time
(Redefining the day that music died)
Or you can spend your life
(Guilt free and ostracized)
'Cuz all the fashion
(In the world cannot save you now)
(It's something, I'll write it down for you)
So make sure you love
Like you've never been hurt
And when you dance, dance
Like there's no one watching you
Oh, 'cuz this shit's not about pants
And this shit's not about shirts
And this shit's definitely not about hair
(This shit is 'bout having a good fucking time)
Maybe the music isn't dead
Maybe the music isn't dead
Maybe we all just forgot what it fucking sounded like
They Forgot
THEY FORGOT!
'Cuz You can waste your time
(Redefining the day that music died)
Or you can spend your life
(Guilt free and ostracized)
'Cuz all the fashion
(In the world can't save you now)
(It's something, I'll write it down for you)
My greatest gift to you
Is a dance floor
Free from insecurity
Like you've never been hurt
And when you dance, dance
Like there's no one watching you
'Cuz You can waste your time
(Redefining the day that music died)
Or you can spend your life
(Guilt free and ostracized)
'Cuz all the fashion
(In the world cannot save you now)
(It's something, I'll write it down for you)
So make sure you love
Like you've never been hurt
And when you dance, dance
Like there's no one watching you
Oh, 'cuz this shit's not about pants
And this shit's not about shirts
And this shit's definitely not about hair
(This shit is 'bout having a good fucking time)
Maybe the music isn't dead
Maybe the music isn't dead
Maybe we all just forgot what it fucking sounded like
They Forgot
THEY FORGOT!
'Cuz You can waste your time
(Redefining the day that music died)
Or you can spend your life
(Guilt free and ostracized)
'Cuz all the fashion
(In the world can't save you now)
(It's something, I'll write it down for you)
My greatest gift to you
Is a dance floor
Free from insecurity
Happiness By The Kilowatt lyrics - alexisonfire
So this is continuous happiness
You know, I always
Imagined it something more
With the right drapes, the right paints
The right frames, this could really work
What a great day to spend indoors
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
In a hail of sparks
And a tangle of wires
Everything went wrong
So where has all the day gone?
And why are my lungs aching when I breathe?
Is there something wrong with the heat?
Why am I so cold?
And my heart feels sick
And it hurts when I speak
And this is not what I hoped for
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Was this what we hoped for?
It's not what we hoped for!
It's not what, what we, we hoped for!
Was this what we hoped for?
It's not what we hoped for!
It's not!
You know, I always
Imagined it something more
With the right drapes, the right paints
The right frames, this could really work
What a great day to spend indoors
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
In a hail of sparks
And a tangle of wires
Everything went wrong
So where has all the day gone?
And why are my lungs aching when I breathe?
Is there something wrong with the heat?
Why am I so cold?
And my heart feels sick
And it hurts when I speak
And this is not what I hoped for
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
Was this what we hoped for?
It's not what we hoped for!
It's not what, what we, we hoped for!
Was this what we hoped for?
It's not what we hoped for!
It's not!

44. Caliber Love Letter lyrics - alexisonfire
Sifting through weathered photo albums
(Does it make a difference?)
Looking for gloriously aged polaroids
(This is the way it is)
(You think it really would make a difference? Would I hang on the beach in perfect black and hide?)
Of places you've never been.
(I broke through this hollow shell that once held me so tight I couldn't breathe)
A place to accept you don't exist
(Come with me, jump off the edge)
"Smile for the camera sweetheart. I really wanna immortalize the moment."
Just remember the first step in forgetting
Is destroying all the evidence.
With friends like you,
Who needs subtext?
Sub. Text. Sub. Text.
This is a .44 caliber love letter straight from my heart.
With a gun, make your shot.
Let's hope for better shit.
(Straight {straight!} from {from!} my {my!} heart {heart!})
That reason for separation.
(Straight {straight!} from {from!} my {my!} heart {heart!})
Straight from... my... heart.
Christened by your bullet.
I'm losing patience.
Well I guess...
It's my own fault.
Don't remember.
Don't remember.
Don't... remember.
Don't!

Counterparts And Number Them lyrics - alexisonfire
Jennifer,
They lied to you.
When they said you couldn't breathe underwater.
(So here it is, the end is near)
I lied, too, when I said that I was hard.
(Never would've thought that I'd be something you'd so easily discard)
Because I'm...
Softer...
(Now I see it all so clear)
Than a...
(So it seems that when you turned away, you...)
Thrift store...
(Left...)
Thrift store...
(A scar)
Thrift store...
Sweater.
Twice as worn in.
Twice as worn in.
I was cast away once,
But I will be found again.
This I promise you.
Promise you.
They lied to you.
When they said you couldn't breathe underwater.
(So here it is, the end is near)
I lied, too, when I said that I was hard.
(Never would've thought that I'd be something you'd so easily discard)
Because I'm...
Softer...
(Now I see it all so clear)
Than a...
(So it seems that when you turned away, you...)
Thrift store...
(Left...)
Thrift store...
(A scar)
Thrift store...
Sweater.
Twice as worn in.
Twice as worn in.
I was cast away once,
But I will be found again.
This I promise you.
Promise you.
