ALESANA LYRICS

Best Ex-Friend

Pretty words roll off of your tongue
Come out of your mouth heard by everyone
So convincing I believed it
For so long I still can't figure out
Why many wont last, why many wont last
With the blink of your eye it's all gone away
... please give me one more stay, I guess that's why I feel I'm loosing again...

Miles we've walked the moons we've seen
Leave it all behind and start a new beginning.
I won't keep you searching when there's nothing left to find

[Chorus:]
'cause I'm not ready for this life... ready for this life
But I'm ready for tonight, I'm still wondering why
... days convincing me once we'd never be strong, this is goodbye...

Tears fall down like the mourning rain
A taste of strain does
Something's getting compromised
Fall in or fallen the damage is done
And there's no convincing with these words you've spoken

[Chorus]

Pretty words roll off of your tongue
Come out of your mouth heard by everyone
So convincing I believed it for so long
Still I can't figure out when you were wrong
... everything you ever said would ever make this right or guilty
Now you say you wonder why you're my best ex-friend...

Pretty words roll off of your tongue
Come out of your mouth heard by everyone
So convincing I believed it for so long
Still I can't figure out why
... everything you ever said would ever make this right or guilty
Now you say you wonder why you're my best ex-friend...

[Chorus]

'cause I'm not ready for this life
But I'm ready for tonight, I'm still wondering why
... days convincing me once we'd never be strong, this is goodbye...
Days convince...

Fatima Rusalka

[feat. Josh Grosscup]

Born out of nothingness, defined by beauty and patience.
A tortured existence which leaves behind no answers.
Destined to suffer the struggle, cursed to be one of them, to be both of them. Fatima. Rusalka.
Somewhere between the chaos and the void in a desert that predates time itself, bereft of stars and untouched by the Gods of man.
There was only one. There was only her.

Black echoes deafening silence
Spat upon the tortured earth
She is born all alone
Cursed to never live, cursed to never die
Scarlet fiend condemned to breathe eternally
Thirsting for an answer, starving for her purpose
But the sky holds his tongue as she waits for the end
And it's not looking good at all

An anguished melody reveals to me a memory of love once lost
A quiet affliction, a moment of weakness
Breathe and shut your eyes
Finally, it all makes sense so naturally I am lost
When angels and devils make sense of the wreckage
Unsung heroine, death won't set you free

Cautiously I softly fake a smile, it's cold here at night I'm trying to hide, dying to find myself
I should stop praying to no one
I can't stop searching for someone
Please just stop, sweetheart, it gets better than this I wish I could go, wish I could find a way
I just want to see your face
But now I'm starting to see how it all ends
And it's not looking good at all

An anguished melody reveals to me a memory of love once lost
A quiet affliction, a moment of weakness
Breathe and shut your eyes
Finally, it all makes sense so naturally I am lost
When angels and devils make sense of the wreckage
Unsung heroine, death won't set you free
Immortality is your curse, an orphan by God, and lost
Breakdown
You're an orphan by God, and lost
An orphan by God
So now it seems the sky has failed me
This has been a terrible mistake
If I had just one more chance...

If you're looking for an answer
Hold tight and never let me go
And the lies we said we'll bury with the rest
Oh, the senselessness of all this suffering
Feel it again and over again
Let it begin

Ageless warrior left to destroy mankind and reap the earth
We have to believe, trust that there is hope
Useless prayers will be left to unveil the truth that all is lost
We have to believe, trust that there is hope
It was never just a dream.

What Goes Around...Comes Around

[originally by Justin Timberlake]
[from "Punk Goes Pop 2" Compilation]

Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man?
You know I gave you the world
You had me in the palm of your hand
So why your love went away
I just can't seem to understand
Thought it was me and you babe
Me and you until the end
But I guess I was wrong

Don't want to talk about it
Don't want to think about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Tell me is this fair?

Is this the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around
That you were gonna make me cry
It's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're living a lie
That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find...

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around

Now girl, I remember everything that you claimed
You said that you were moving on now
And maybe I should do the same
Funny thing about that is
I was ready to give you my name
Thought it was me and you, babe
And now, it's all just a shame
And I guess I was wrong

Don't want to talk about it
Don't want to think about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Can you tell me is this fair?

Is this the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around
That you were going to make me cry
Now it's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're living a lie
That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around

And now you want somebody
To cure the lonely nights
You wish you had somebody
That could come and make it right
But girl I ain't somebody with a lot of sympathy
You'll see

(What goes around comes back around)
(What goes around comes back around)
(What goes around comes back around)
(What goes around comes back around)

You spend your nights alone
And he never comes home
And every time you call him
All you get's a busy tone
I heard you found out
That he's doing to you
What you did to me
Ain't that the way it goes

When you cheated girl
My heart bleeded girl
So it goes without saying that you left me feeling hurt
Just a classic case
A scenario
Tale as old as time
Girl you got what you deserved

I thought I told you, baby
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told you, baby
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told you, baby
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told you, baby
