The Amity Affliction
Album • 2014
I've been searching for an exit But I'm lost inside my head Where I spend every waking moment Wishing I was dead For a few minutes Get me away from here For a few minutes (Wipe away) Wipe away my tears For I am lost right now as the ocean deep I am low, my friend, and how my heart does sink Yeah, I am lost right now as the ocean deep I am low, my friend, and how my heart does sink It's like there's cancer in my blood It's like there's water in my lungs And I can't take another step Please tell me I am not undone It's like there's fire in my skin And I'm drowning from within I can't take another breath Please tell me I am not undone I've been searching for an exit But I'm lost inside my head Where I spend every waking moment Wishing this would end I can't take another step I cannot live inside my mind I can't face another day I am so fucking tired For I am lost right now as the ocean deep I am low, my friend, and how my heart does sink Yeah, I am lost right now as the ocean deep I am low, my friend, and how my heart does sink It's like there's cancer in my blood It's like there's water in my lungs And I can't take another step Please tell me I am not undone It's like there's fire in my skin And I'm drowning from within I can't take another breath Please tell me I am not undone I've been searching for an exit But I'm lost inside my head Where I spend every waking moment Wishing I was dead I'll take another step for you I'll shed my tears until I drown Or until I am underground I'll take another breath for you Will you still be there when I'm home Out from the great unknown? It's like there's cancer in my blood It's like there's water in my lungs And I can't take another step Please tell me I am not undone It's like there's fire in my skin And I'm drowning from within I can't take another breath Please tell me I am not undone It's like there's cancer in my blood It's like there's water in my lungs And I can't take another step Please tell me I am not undone It's like there's fire in my skin And I'm drowning from within I can't take another breath Please tell me I am not undone

So young, heartbroken Daydreaming, lost focus Weaker than you've ever been Counting on a fading dream The ocean gleaming, emerald green The saddest thing you've ever seen Your feet stuck in the sinking sand (Your mind) Your mind is reeling, shaky hands Tears are streaming, sorrow calls With no one there to break your fall I'm lost and fading, life ain't great My heart is breaking and life won't wait There's no one there, no one around There's not a soul and not a sound So fucking young, heartbroken Daydreaming, lost focus A weary soul, no truth to find They were so lost, where was your goodbye? Your feet stuck in the sinking sand (Your mind) Your mind is reeling, shaky hands Tears are streaming, sorrow calls With no one there to break your fall I'm lost and fading, life ain't great My heart is breaking and life won't wait There's no one there, no one around There's not a soul and not a sound You've searched your soul for far too long Your friend was lost, you carry on You bear the burden of sorrow's past But you were built, you were built to fucking last You were built, you were built to last I'm fading fast, out in the cold unknown All sorrow here, so far from home So far from home I'm lost and fading, life ain't great My heart is breaking and life won't wait There's no one there, no one around There's not a soul and not a sound I'm lost and fading, life ain't great My heart is breaking and life won't wait There's no one there, no one around There's not a soul and not a sound No one around and not a sound No one around and not a sound

Weighed down Weighed down on the way down I've lived behind a mask So long so few know who I am They know other sides of me That hide behind a haunted man And though my hands are made of stone And I break everything I see They've saved me from myself And they stand by me Weighed down on the way down I need someone to take my hand It feels like I can't breathe And I might drown on the way down I'm sick of all the comedowns Don't tell me that there's nothing wrong I'm weighed down, way down I'll fight fatigue, I'll fight for you For everything that we've been through I'll take your hand, I'll carry on I've been weighed down for far too long And though my hands are made of stone And I break everything I see They've saved me from myself And they stand by me, stand by me Weighed down on the way down I need someone to take my hand It feels like I can't breathe And I might drown on the way down I'm sick of all the comedowns Don't tell me that there's nothing wrong I'm weighed down, way down I won't be weighed down There's too much resting on this Never be weighed down I'll fucking stand and resist Weighed down on the way down I need someone to take my hand It feels like I can't breathe And I might drown on the way down I'm sick of all the comedowns Don't tell me that there's nothing wrong I'm weighed down on the way down I need someone to take my hand I feel like I can't breathe And I might drown on the way down I'm sick of all the comedowns Don't tell me that there's nothing wrong I'm weighed down, way down

We struggle to our feet We all yearn to be free We fight, yet we're weak We all call out our grief This goddamn life is our disease But we can't always fucking weep We can always turn the tide We can all stand up and sing: "Never alone" We fight together, not alone We fight together, not alone No matter where our bodies roam This place is now what we call home, never alone Never alone, never apart We found each other in the dark We shed our tears and fight our fears As we are one, the lonely hearts Never alone, never apart We found each other in the dark We shed our tears and fight our fears As we are one, the lonely hearts We sink or we swim (Still swim) When we're drowning in our grief But we can't ever lose hope We have to stay afloat We struggle to breathe We can win if we stand and believe We are lost on our own But we'll find our way home We can always turn the tide And we can all stand up and fight, never alone We fight together, not alone We fight together, not alone No matter where our bodies roam This place is now what we call home We are never, ever alone Never alone, never apart We found each other in the dark We shed our tears and fight our fears As we are one, the lonely hearts Never alone, never apart We found each other in the dark We shed our tears and fight our fears As we are one, the lonely hearts We are not lost here together We are not lost anymore We'll turn the tide, we'll calm the storm We are ready for war We are ready for war We are ready for war We are not lost here together We are not lost anymore Never alone, never apart 'Cause we're the lonely hearts Three, two, one, go Never alone, never apart We found each other in the dark We shed our tears and fight our fears As we are one, the lonely hearts Never alone, never apart We found each other in the dark We shed our tears and fight our fears As we are one, the lonely hearts (Message received on April 12th at 3:16 am) "Hello? Are you there? Listening? I'm just trying to get in touch, man I've been so fucking, so fucking down lately, like I don't know what's happening, I'm just so tired all the time I'm trying to sleep, I just, I just lay there quiet Can't speak 'cause everyone around me is passed out And my fucking mind is raging Uh, hello? I don't even know why I called I think it, I think it might be time for me to leave Just call it quits, I'm sick of this It's the same fucking day, every day I think I sleep, I can't be sure though, it's all the same now Drink, drink, drink again, I'm tired, man I think it, you don't wanna hear this, I'm a mess I'm sorry, man, I just don't know who to turn to No one really hears me, you know?

I held Death's hand this evening Can't keep my heart from beating Can't keep my throat from screaming There has to be another way for me to keep on living I held Death's hand this evening Closed my eyes, now I'm dreaming I promise I won't leave here "Don't let me die," I'm fucking screaming 'Cause I've got more life left to liveGot some promises to keep To all the hearts that carried meOut from the ocean deep I've had to do some searching To understand the reasons For every selfish feeling... I held Death's hand this evening Now my lungs are failing, and my heart is fading My mind is taking me so far away I'm dreaming For every selfish reason, I tipped the bottle drowning I'll pour my heart out to stop you from leaving I held Death's hand this evening Closed my eyes, now I'm dreaming I promise I won't leave here "Don't let me die," I'm fucking screaming 'Cause I've got more life left to live Got some promises to keep To all the hearts that carried me Out from the ocean deep I've had to do some searching To understand the reasons For every selfish feeling... I held Death's hand this evening You're the ones that kept me going I owe you this much You gave me the strength to say "Hey, Death, get fucked" You're the ones that kept me going I owe you this much You gave me the strength to say "Hey, Death, get fucked" Now my lungs are failing, and my heart is fading My mind is taking me so far away I'm dreaming Now my lungs are failing, and my heart is fading My mind is taking me

There are parts of me that have been lost at sea I feel like I'm sinking into eternity Walk with my head hung low into calamity With arms outstretched, for someone, someone to save me I am a sinking ship, I am the anchors deep Set to the ocean floor in an eternal sleep My heart is heavy stone, my body: brittle bones My mind: an endless storm out in the cold unknown 'Cause I've got to find my light again My heart is beating fast, when will this ever end? Can I find my way back home again? This road I travel on, it never seems to end I ain't a hollow shell no more I've left the ocean floor, I've left the ocean floor My heart's a heavy hitter now, oh My lungs, they're screaming out My heart's a heavy hitter now I am a sinking ship, I am the anchors deep Set to the ocean floor in an eternal sleep My heart is heavy stone, my body: brittle bones My mind: an endless storm out in the cold unknown 'Cause I've got to find my light again My heart is beating fast, when will this ever end? Can I find my way back home again? This road I travel on, it never seems to end And once again, you came back, and you rescued me And I promise you that, I promise you that I'm out I promise you that I'm out My heart's a heavy hitter now, oh My fists are firmly clenched again And this is thanks to you, my friend... 'Cause I've got to find my light again My heart is beating fast, when will this ever end? Can I find my way back home again? This road I travel on, it never seems to end 'Cause I've got to find my light again My heart is beating fast, when will this ever end? Can I find my way back home again? This road I travel on, it never seems to end

I am my father's son, I am my father's mistakes I'm easily undone, and I'm no stranger to rage I am no stranger to rage I am no stranger to rage I built the bars out of bottles Drowned myself just to escape I am my father's son I am my father's mistakes And I'm ashamed of myself I just want out of this place This fucking hell I created I can't seem to escape I had to learn for myself The fastest way to my death So I could follow his footsteps To my hospital bed All my life, I have been Trying to understand myself It seems like my own reflection Is just somebody else It's taken years to know my father Courses through my veins And though I never knew him It turns out we're the same I am no stranger to rage I am my father's son Won't be my father's mistakes I've crept through shadows and alleys Found my home on the streets I've felt the cold glare of strangers As they passed over me I never figured I'd turn out To be such a disgrace But I'm my father's son The sum of all his mistakes I had to learn from myself The fastest way to my death So I could follow his footsteps To my hospital bed All my life, I have been Trying to understand myself It seems like my own reflection Is just somebody else It's taken years to know my father Courses through my veins And though I never knew him It turns out we're the same I am no stranger to rage And though I never knew him Though I never knew him, it turns out we're the same And though I never knew him Though I never knew him, it turns out we're the same I am my father's son, I am my father's son I am my father's son, won't be my father's mistakes I am my father's son, I am my father's son I am my father's son, I am my father's son

I'm standing by the riverside Dreaming: "Hope, come save me now" I'm feeling like I can't escape Screaming: "Love, come pull me out" All this darkness inside me? Well, I'm the creator All this loneliness I feel? I'm the creator The Earth heaves inside of me And there's a forest set to light So this passion can burn, burn like a forest fire It burns, burns like a forest fire Lost in a winter's storm like wolves With no stars to use as guides But we're still breathing And we're the lucky ones The weeping willows on the banks Where the rivers used to run So, still sway with the breeze But don't fall down to your knees Hope, come save me now I'm standing by the riverside And I'm dreaming: "Hope, come save me now" I'm feeling like I can't escape And I'm screaming: "Love, come pull me out" We have lived in the shadows now For far too fucking long Pull the wool from your eyes Tear the darkness away We won't exist underground For the rest of our days But we're still breathing And we're the lucky ones The weeping willows on the banks Where the rivers used to run So, still sway with the breeze But don't fall down to your knees Hope, come save me now I'm standing by the riverside And I'm dreaming: "Hope come save me now" I'm feeling like I can't escape And I'm screaming: "Love, come pull me out" I'm standing by the riverside And I'm dreaming: "Hope come save me now" I'm feeling like I can't escape And I'm screaming: "Love, come pull me out" All this darkness inside me? Well, I'm the creator All this loneliness I feel? I'm the creator The Earth heaves inside of me And there's a forest set to light So this passion can burn, burn like a forest fire It burns, burns like a forest fire It burn, burn like a forest fire It burns, burns like a forest fire

Just take it all: my heart, my mind My every word from out my lungs My every breath and every thought Take every word I've ever sung Although I'm glad to help you out And get your feet back on the ground Please, understand I'm just a man You understand? I'm just a man And I feel helpless when I stumble And my anxiety escapes I lose all hope, and I'm afraid that Once again, I've lost my place I give it all, and when I fall I get up and give some more Until there's nothing left of me Just some bones stacked on the floor But every song's a two-way street: I give to you, you give to me And as long as that remains I will still haul my heavy feet Because you're all worth every word And, yeah, you're all here in my heart And I know we can sing together To avoid falling apart I give it all, and when I fall I get up and give some more Until there's nothing left of me Just some bones stacked on the floor I give it all, and when I fall I get up and give some more Until there's nothing left of me Just some bones stacked on the floor At the end of everything This is for you, this is for me Your fight to overcome defeat Has set the skies alight for me I give it all, and when I fallI get up and give some more Until there's nothing left of me Just some bones stacked on the floor I give it all, and when I fall I get up and give some more Until there's nothing left of me Just some bones stacked on the floor I give it all, and when I fall I get up and give some more Until there's nothing left of me Just some bones stacked on the floor I give it all, and when I fall I get up and give some more Until there's nothing left of me Just some bones stacked on the floor
