As I Lay Dying
Album • 2003
94 hours of regret for me to realize what I held unfading beauty, not just a face I held its innocence within my heart Go! Now I won't let go I won't let go I won't let go Now I I won't let go Now I I won't let go The torment of your eyes has awakened my soul. The torment of your eyes has awakened my soul. The pain of a moment's time will forever beg your forgiveness Forgiveness 94 hours for me to realize I held unfading beauty I held your innocence

The sound of silent voices surveying my thoughts regularity defining perfection Neither sorrow nor contentment Whispering emptiness Whispering emptiness Frail words collapse My weight only stirs the ground How long can I hold your hand as you walk over graves You search for tears of compassion Yet find the comfort of winter You find the comfort Reassurance dead like the falling leaves Losing hope in your unchanging ways all of my strength cannot save you If you are unwilling to help yourself

Forever your eyes will hold the memory I saw your heart as it overtook me we tried so hard to understand and reason but in that one moment I gave my heart away I gave my heart away in that moment I gave my heart away in that moment I gave my heart away (I gave my heart away) What perfect breath where my mind lay beside me and all I knew was what had overtaken me with no reason I am comforted by the inability to understand Forever your eyes will hold the memory I saw your heart as it overtook me we tried so hard to understand and reason but in that one moment I gave my heart away I gave my heart away in that moment I gave my heart away in that moment I gave my heart away (I gave my heart away) Forever your eyes will hold the memory Forever your eyes will hold the memory Forever your eyes will hold the memory When I wake from this dream Will your smile still open my heart and leave me transparent When I wake from this dream Will your smile still open my heart

Can you understand my meaning hidden in the roses around my eyes I want you to know how much it means to have you in my life Your love brings me close again in this instance this single moment when our worlds collide The wire of eternity twists around us I can feel this river rising, moving up my back Some things never change Some things never go away Some things never change Some things never go away I could never forget you I will never be the same I can never forget you I will never be the same Go! Some things never change Some things never go away Some things never change Some things never go away I can never forget you I will never be the same
The contingencies of another day unravel my senses And now your distance is darkness And now your distance is darkness My hope has been beset by your absence I decay from inside From inside Pain! There is love, there is love, there is love Love! Love, there is love, there is love Underneath there is love

I wanted to bring you all that is in my heart I wanted to give you my everything but I've failed you I've failed you so many times how can I stand here how can I stand here before you how can I stand here before you when I begin to steal what only belongs to you what only belongs to you I am able to bring you Nothing that isn't already yours I am so ashamed, I'm so ashamed Of what I ever called my own Take what I have, take these broken remains What can I give to you that you don't already deserve You laid down your life when I refused to give mine

What is this world, what is it we've created In the burdens of this life I cannot rest this world means nothing Everything we hold will pass away with a void of completion comfort will ever fade I long for this wind to cease Everything we hold will pass away Everything we hold will pass away I long for this wind to cease We once held undying devotion now dead to our thoughts, undefined like our love Everything we hold will pass away Everything we hold will pass away

We climbed a thousand steps without a single imprint This drowning regret will die Forgotten like my past Forgotten like my past Moving bodies lie in rest Carried by each other

From here to eternity we begin understanding From here to eternity I see who you are and who else can compare I meant what I said, I promised to stand by your side Until the end, that's where we begin Until the end, that's where we begin From here to eternity we begin understanding It is our hearts that define what has meaning in life Some will ask how can this be But it was you who made me feel From here to eternity we begin understanding Until the end, that's where we begin Until the end, that's where we begin Until the end, that's where we begin Until the end, that's where we begin

[Whispering] One night opens wounds and words utter pain You've hid hearts and songs as long as you recall One night opens wounds and words utter pain The truth cannot breathe a one in your soul You've hid hearts and songs as long as you recall His kind words just fall near your feet With their last air, all they want done is to be heard in your sweet ears just once

How can I bear this any longer Take me away Arms stretched out only to hold separation Take me away Take me away Take me away Take me away I'm dying inside, emptied before you Take me into your arms I will fight until the day when I will see you Sight given to these blind eyes When will I be taken from this life take what is yours You deserve more than my life You deserve more than my life Take me away!

[to Stephanie for undying friendship] Did you ever see me or could you even see at all I looked at your cold white face, so still, so empty Yet I knew you were at, Knew you were at rest much more comforted than I What else could I find to replace who you were It was the carefree unrestricted love that You never meant to give You never had the choice You never had the guilt You never had the choice It was your innocence It was part of who you were It was the comfort of a friend You never meant to give you never had the choice It was your innocence It was part of who you were It was your innocence It was the comfort of a friend It was your innocence It was part of who you were It was your innocence It was the comfort of a friend
