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
