The Amity Affliction
Album • 2010
Seems like forever, like forever, like forever Since I tore myself apart Left my friends in the wake Of countless tears and fading life When I couldn't seem to grasp the life I lead And the lives I touch, it's one year on now One year on, one year on Still I struggle by the same demons I shed as I laid there lost in my head, lost in my head Lost in this goddamn hospital bed I'm not the same man, and I don't dare try Try to uncover all the darkness I hide It's like my demons are my lovers But I've got friends by my side I've got hope in my eyes And dreams to aspire to And the whole wide world to watch below And death won't be my lover, oh I've got so much left to give And take my life with subtle steps Instead of not wanting all that is left Instead of trying to take my own life It's one year on And I'm stronger I wanna live much longer Not grow old and bitter And not jaded and not hate what life gave me Let the fear wash away Let the demons blunt their claws On a life that's full of mistakes But always searching for much more I won't die defeated I won't die defeated I won't die defeated I won't die 'Cause I've got friends by my side I've got hope in my eyes And dreams to aspire to And the whole wide world to watch below And death won't be my lover, oh I've got so much left to give And take my life with subtle steps Instead of not wanting all that is left No, death won't be my lover, oh I've got so much left to give And take my life with subtle steps Instead of not wanting all that is left

I have so many anchors So many, so many So many anchors Far too many to be sailing on these seas They're pulling me under And I just want to be freed But I'm just drowning and clasping To the tinder and twine Not the firm planks and rope That I know to be mine, that I know to be mine I have so many anchors bound to my feet It feels like I'll forever be bound to the bottom of these seas Will you hear nothing I say? As the tide just sweeps and sways As the anchors that bind me Just rust and decay As I tear my flesh from bone As I scream out to the sky When will I find my way home? There are sirens watching me And they whisper and smile to me And I'm screaming out to them Please take these anchors from my feet Oh! I see the moon, up above! I've failed my hope, I've thrown out my love (I still) want to live! (I still) want to hope! (I still) want to give! (I still) want to grow! I was dead and gone I was cold and alone I was weighed down and buried When will I find my way home?! Will you hear nothing I say? As the tide just sweeps and sways As the anchors that bind me Just rust and decay As I tear my flesh from bone As I scream out to the sky When will I find my way home? Let's get it! When will I find my way home?! Let's get it! When will I find my way home?! Will you hear nothing I say? As the tide just sweeps and sways As the anchors that bind me Just rust and decay As I tear my flesh from bone As I scream out to the sky When will I find my way home? As I tear my flesh from bone As I scream out toward the sky! When will I find my way home?

I've been staring for weeks (At the cold rusted sheets) And the broken down pillars (Of the years that have passed by) At the cold depths of rivers (And the moons that have fallen) And risen as halves (I've been star gazing) And whispering to myself in the night (And by the river at dawn, I have discovered the light) I've been watching the tides (And i've been feeling their flow) And its a humbling experience To watch as they grow Down where the beauty of our dreams Touches the beauty of the sky And the stars in our oceans Become the stars in our eyes Where we reach out to forever For just one last grasp at hope Where the tides ebb and flow Is all our minds really know They leave in short breaths Returning to give And to hold and to steal And its calming and it heals And its softening it seems (to leave my past behind join the tide) And head out toward the seas Down where the beauty of our dreams Touches the beauty of the sky And the stars in our oceans Become the stars in our eyes Where we reach out to forever For just one last grasp at hope Where the tides ebb and flow Is all our minds really know I'm lost in the moment Where the tide embraces me Where i fall into the river And set sail toward the sea I'm lost and I'm dreaming I'm lost and I'm feeling Like this has waited forever To finally take me I'm lost in the moment Where the tide embraces me Where i fall into the river And set sail toward the seas I'm lost and I'm dreaming I'm lost and I'm feeling Like this has waited forever To finally take me Down where the beauty of our dreams Touches the beauty of the sky And the stars in our oceans Become the stars in our eyes Where we reach out to forever For just one last grasp at hope Where the tides ebb and flow Is all our minds really know

Why are we even breathing, if the only reason to exist Is to stare skyward and put my hands together? Then why am I even here, to serve a myth And carry these burdens on my chest? As it caves in and free will gives way To the guilt of lost and misinterpreted verses I can't see the logic in falling to my knees Where is the logic? There is no logic! I was blinded and inducted [Hook: Ahren Stringer & Joel Birch] Into a world that has no meaning No basis for belief And now they wonder why I'm seething I'll spit this in their faces, and burn their false pretenses! On which they stand, the pulpit burying our youth Beneath the tides of callous sands No room to breathe! No room to breathe In the chambers of your guilt Under a cross and devils' gaze While you sit and wait to die There'll be no god in the cold night sky There's no god who can hear you There's no god who understands Who understands Regrets too often haunt us, again and again Sometimes it seems so hopeless, but we cannot give in When all our best decisions prove us wrong And when, we're only waiting for goodbyes We've already given in, given in! Already given in, given in! Already given in! We've already given in, given in! Already given in, given in! Already given in But we're never giving in! There is no god who can hear you, just a sky full of stars! The same stars you will be wishing on When death comes to call on us Call on us

Have you looked up lately And seen the cold lonely skies? And looked into the mirror And seen your black lonely eyes? Well I have and I want to know Why I feel like death is round the corner I still feel so young And in my chest I've the beating of A thousand youngbloods Youngbloods run free forever Forget the death that's ever nearer Youngbloods young hearts alike Let the fires burn inside your eyes We won't give up these memories We won't go near those cemeteries And have you ever felt the breath of the midnight reaper? His whisper's deathly cold, deathly cold and nearer The sun never rises when you're in his presence Your tears run black as coal And your chest ceases its movements And your young blood runs so cold Have you felt the darkness calling? And the whispers in the skies Well so have I, so we need to run together Youngbloods, youngbloods, youngbloods run free forever Forget the death that's ever fucking nearer Light up the sky and scream fuck the reaper This life is for the keeping Youngbloods just keep on screaming Youngbloods run free forever Forget the death that's ever nearer Youngbloods young hearts alike Let the fires burn inside your eyes We won't give up these memories We won't go near those cemeteries Youngbloods, youngbloods, youngbloods just keep on screaming This life is for the keeping This song is for the dreamers Youngbloods, youngbloods, youngbloods just keep on screaming Just keep on screaming Just keep on screaming... Let's go Youngbloods... Youngbloods young hearts alike Let the fires burn inside your eyes We won't give up these memories We won't go near those cemeteries Youngbloods young hearts alike Let the fires burn inside your eyes

I know that you've been searching For me elsewhere In the cracks beneath your feet In the spaces between walls In the dark wells of the mirror In the place I used to stand I know that you've been searching For me elsewhere In the black pits of my mind Where the tar of my emotions Swirls black and ever thicker Where I retreat To hide from life I have the reaper in my heart And black tar pits for eyes I have the cold heart of the lost ones And no love to tear us apart I know that you've been searching In the spaces between words But let me tell you There's nothing there to read There to read Well I know that you've been searching And you've looked inside your heart But under oceans and in coffins Is a better place to start Place to start You can't begin to know The depths of the abyss Until you've lost it all Until you've seen yourself Cause that reflection just Ain't what it used to be It sure as hell ain't what I want to see Well I know that you've been searching And you've looked inside your heart But under oceans and in coffins Is a better place to start Heartbreak is the burden I bear And the bottle's, is the blood I smear Oh Just burdens Just guilt Just loss And just fear Well I know that you've been searching And you've looked inside your heart But under oceans and in coffins Is a better place to start Well I know that you've been searching And you've looked inside your heart But under oceans and in coffins Is a better place to start

When your aspirations crumble At the feet of your tormentors And your jaw feels like it's breaking On the cold hard tile floor And you're holding onto something That does far more harm than good Well then you've reached the pits of hell And there in hell you'll find the steel To smash your skin until it's calloused To grind your teeth down to the bone To tear your tongue out from its shelter And bleed out all alone And when we get there we'll tread heavy Through the boneyards and the filth We'll grace the presence of the vultures And spit fire of the gods We'll both sit in our skin And hate the places we have known When your back feels like it's breaking And your skin has turned to stone And you are standing in the fire And you are wishing to go back! Well then you've reached the pits of hell Well then you've reached the pits of hell! I took this journey through the mirror Took a chance to take my time Just to watch the cold hard steel of burden Come and break my heart and spine I took a blade, a glass, a noose And then I smashed my mind in two With a bottle, pills and notion that I Could drink my problems dead I reached the cold pits of hell And then I split my mind in two And dragged my cold heart through the snow And felt the coldest burn Of all the grief I've come to know Of all the grief I've come to know I took this journey through the mirror Took a chance to take my time Just to watch the cold hard steel of burden Come and break my heart and spine I've got a story here to tell you Best you listen or grow cold Cause if you choose the path I've chosen Chances are you won't grow old Won't, grow, old!...

It's never easy to face yourself Everyday, through the fog of shrouded memories It's never easy to face your past Everyday, through the haze of the aftermath Yeah It's never easy to admit That you've faltered and fallen You can't do this alone That you can't do this all alone I've felt the fear in your eyes I've slipped into that void And I've felt the cold of the morning And I know It's never easy to admit That you've faltered and fallen And you can't do this alone Down in that void buried so deep Searching for love but not for sleep Just know that nothing's set in stone And I know how some others won't The cold steel and regret The failure and remorse Just trying to tell you You're not here alone OH We're all in this together Shining bright through the fog Filling the skies with our light With our light, with our light It's never easy to admit That you've faltered and fallen And you can't do this alone Down in that void buried so deep Searching for love but not for sleep Just know that nothing's set in stone Don't be the one To bear the weight of the world While that world passes by It's never easy to admit That you've faltered That you've fallen I'm just trying to tell you That you aren't here alone It's never easy to admit That you've faltered and fallen And you can't do this alone Down in that void buried so deep Searching for love but not for sleep Just know that nothing's set in stone We're all in this together Shining bright through the fog We're all in this together

I've been trying to find the space and time To let them know just what it's like, to be feeling so alone To be feeling so alone! I know you stayed there waiting for The world to heal itself, the world we existed in The fucking world I turned to hell If only I, could fall through the earth To reach you when, the sun decides to set Take your hand and let you feel The warmth of grace's breath (of grace's breath) I am the heart that keeps on beating While you close your eyes at night Not before and not forever Will our hearts not beat together And now it's happening again I've been trying to find the space and time To let them know just what it's like, to be feeling so alone To be feeling so alone! I know you stayed there waiting for The world to heal itself, the world we existed in The fucking world I turned to hell And now it's happening again! And we are wishing things could just go back (go back) To how they used to be We've lost the innocence of youth And left our hearts by the wayside But I can tell in the years to come We'll get it back and you will breathe ever so deeply (Then let go of all the heaviness You've carried for) so many years! Throughout the pain, throughout the fear Just know that I'll be here! I've been trying to find the space and time To let them know just what it's like, to be feeling so alone To be feeling so alone! I know you stayed there waiting for The world to heal itself, the world we existed in The fucking world I turned to hell And now it's happening again Throughout the pain, throughout the fear Just know that I am here Throughout the pain, throughout the fear Just know that I am here Just know, just know Just know that I am here (I am here!)
