ASKING ALEXANDRIA LYRICS

1. Welcome

We're back again
Let's make a toast, come raise your glasses high
To every one of you who doubted us.

We're back again
Let's make a toast, come raise your glasses high
To every one of us since "karma's a bitch right".

2. Dear Insanity

Oh sweet insanity
You take my hand and walk me out into the dark
We walk this road for hours and hours
To the white hills, and the oceans

On a collision course, to hell we march
We're doomed to this now
Oh the irony
If I'm going down I won't go down alone
You're doomed to this one
You're doomed to this now
Hold your breath my dear
We're going under

I've walked this road for hours
To the white hills, and the oceans
I search for solace in this toxic land of sin
Just let me in
Don't wake me up, their songs are soothing
Their wine subdues me
Hold your breath my dear
We're going under

Dreams, my mind won't me lift from my dreams
And thought I try I can't escape my mind
Dreams, my mind won't lift me from my dreams
And though you try you can't escape me

Now you've seen what I've become
Now you've seen what I can do
Now you've seen what I'm capable of

I've walked this road for hours to the white hills, and the oceans
I search for solace in this toxic land of sin
Just let me in
Don't wake me up, their songs are soothing
Their wine subdues me

Welcome to the diary of a man that lost his mind so long ago
Welcome to the shell of a man with a heart so black and cold

Over and over in my head

3. Closure

We're back again, you know we're not fucking around
Got a bottle of jack in our hands, you tryna' keep up kid?
Let's see who hits the ground
We've drank the drinks, we've done the drugs, clearly we don't remember
We've come so far, we've shown them all, without us you'd fall and fade away

They say it all breaks down to keeping your feet on the ground
My sole intention is keeping my head in the clouds
They say that I can't last a day in the real world
I say you wouldn't survive one night in mine

Notorious and shit I wouldn't change it for the world
I'm infamous but damn you can't help but love this shit

I'm everything we need make this scene what it should have been
Remember platinum albums, sold out stadiums, leave it to me
Let's tell the truth, not to be rude but we're all irrelevant
This music's dead with a bullet in it's head
Let's wake it up

It's so insane, I'm so insane
Going insane, I'm so insane
Leave it to me from here

4. A Lesson Never Learned

Please, you have to help me
This is not my true face
If you could see my soul
As I have seen my soul
I could show it to you
It's rotten
It's poison
Help me please

Please give me a fucking excuse
I beg for just one reason to give you regret

Are you with me or are you on your own?
It’s time to choose your side, so choose your side
Are you with me or are you on your own?
It’s time to choose your side, so choose your fucking side

Could be the end of the world
I'd still be laid here on my own wasting my life away
Could be the end of the world
I'd still be laid here on my own wasting my life away

Hear me now
Get off your knees
Nothing changes when you pray
I'm the closest thing to a god you'll ever know
Get off your knees

Open your eyes
I'll regret never again
And I stand above you

And I can’t feel this pain anymore
And I can’t carry on this way
I’m hiding behind false eyes

Could be the end of the world
I'd still be laid here on my own wasting my life away
Could be the end of the world
I'd still be laid here on my own wasting my life away

Over and over
Over and over

5. To The Stage

I'm out the door, I'm on my ass again like every night before
I'm off the wall, out of my fucking mind, I'm out of control
I'll be the end of her, I'm in her head and in control
She's let me in, now take a sip and let the show begin
The floor's all yours, the house is full
You've made the slip now take the fall
I pull your strings, you're too deep in
So will she sink or swim

Ladies and Gentlemen place your fucking bets,
Here we come

Oh she's down, how very spectacular
What a work of art I've spawned
Man am I proud of myself on this one
She's such a fucking masterpiece
Self destruction in such a pretty little thing

I know that I should walk away
But I can't bring myself to quit this game
She's just a beautiful girl with the weight of the world on her shoulders
I'm just a kick in the teeth from a world that's painted gold

She's out the door, she's on her ass again like every night before
She's off the wall, out of her fucking mind, she's out of control
I was the end of her
In her head, in control

Just like before
I should've told you again
That I'm sorry
I'm so sorry

6. Dedication

You never really find those perfect words.
Something more than just "Goodbye."

It's hard to remember the good times when there's just so much heartache, but they deserve more than that.
They deserve more than just one single moment of sadness.

So just remember,
That when there's enough love in that heart to burst like a fucking supernova,
Then there sure as hell is enough love in that heart to spark that famous smile.

We all lose someone at some point in our lives, but don't ever let go of that smile.
Hold on forever.

Because that's a fine dedication.

7. Someone, Somewhere

Even though I'm on my own, I know I'm not alone
Because I know there's someone, somewhere praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart
My life right from the start
I need a home sweet home to call my own

It was you
That told me I could do this
You put the music in my heart

And how you sang with the band in Memphis
It's hard just to be strong not knowing if I've done you proud
I like to imagine
You smile when you hear my songs

Even though I'm on my own, I know I'm not alone

Because I know there's someone, somewhere praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart
My life right from the start
I need a home sweet home to call my own

A letter home and I know we don't speak much
And we both know I'm not keen too
But I think there's things I've left unsaid
I'm ok don't worry
I wish I'd been a better kid
I'm trying to slow down
I'm sorry for letting you down

Even though I'm on my own
I know I'm not alone
Cause I know there's someone, somewhere
Praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart
My life right from the start
I need a home sweet home
To call my own

Yeah!

You know it's just rock and roll
I know you're by my side through it all
My terror twin and I
Let's take over the world

Even though I'm on my own
I know I'm not alone
Cause I know there's someone, somewhere
Praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart
My life right from the start
I need a home sweet home
To call my own

Even though I'm on my own
I know I'm not alone
Cause I know there's someone, somewhere
Praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart
My life right from the start
I need a home sweet home
To call my own

8. Breathless

Get the fuck away from me

I know that I have done wrong and continue to do so but without remorse
I know that I am on a fast track to the grave and I'm headed there alone
I struggle to find myself this time
Save yourself for a man with a conscience
I fight to find myself this time
Save yourself for a man that isn't me

I spend my days looking through pages
Trying to find a way to get away from me
With love to give that leaves you breathless
Now all I need to find a way back inside my mind

I don't want to leave you breathless
When will you realize
I don't want to leave you breathless
When will you realize
I don't want to leave you breathless
When will you save yourself

Yeah!

I spend my days looking through pages
Trying to find a way to get away from me
With love to give that leaves you breathless
Now all I need to find... a way back inside my mind

I need to find
A way back inside my mind [x2]

This is not the end
This is the end of [x3]
This is not the end

Every mistake I've made leaves a scar that burns every day
Yet still I carry on
Without regret
Without remorse
I'm gone
You're better off to walk away
I am corruption, I am sin

Forget my name
Forget my face
Forget my name
Forget my face

9. The Match

Gather round my friends
I need a match and only one match
I think it's time I make my own way
I'm turning my back on this city and I'm not looking back
You'll never hear my name without your chest in flames

I'll make my own mistakes
Even though I never learn
I'm running from myself
If only you could see behind my eyes

Run
Get up, get up
Get on your fucking feet

I'll make my own mistakes
Even though I never learn
I'm running from myself
If only you could see behind my eyes

Follow me now I could use some company
Bring your friends and we'll burn the city to the ground
Burn their temples

The fires fill the skies as the smoke fills my lungs
What a beautiful notion
A single action brings this city to motion

10. Another Bottle Down

I'm so done with it I won't go back again and
I'm okay with this, that I'll be on my own
Until the day I die which shouldn't be that long
So pill just do what I do and make the most of it

I won't fall down again
Me heart's now dead and gone
And I'm still breathing
I made it out alive

Oh fuck this is fun I just can't believe I didn't find this before
To just indulge even if it kills me
Who gives a fuck if we die
Another bottle down
You should really try it sometime
Cos it feels so good

Without a care if a heart gets broken
You'll all learn in the end that there's a better way
Baby move in closer, you couldn't hurt me if you tried

I won't fall down again
Me heart's now dead and gone
And I'm still breathing
I made it out alive

Take a seat my dear
Make yourself comfortable this could take a while
Crack another, dear
I can't see now and I wouldn't change a thing
Life should burn with such a fucking flame
If not you've only got yourself to blame

11. Reckless And Relentless

They said that self destruction I stopped below and for along,
My only home is the bottom of the bottle and a rolled up bill and I'm ready to go!
I let the scent die in and out and I dont care how long I last,
On the constant drink and drugs and dont get me wrong I'm having a fucking blast.

I am rock and roll, living a life we can only dream of,
I am rock and roll at its fucking finest

Just like the cigarettes hurt,
Just like the whiskey burns, whoa wohoa
I guess I'm never gonna learn

Just like the cigarettes hurt,
Just like the whiskey burns, whoa wohoa
I guess I'm never gonna learn

You cannot stop me till my insides bleeding,
You cannot stop me till my last breathe comes,
I'm gonna go until I hit the floor
Cant find a way back to my feet
Anymore

Pass me a glass and lets destroy everything in this fucking place
Like a billion miles an hour you pussys cant keep up with this fucking pace

I am rock and roll, living a life we can only dream of,
I am rock and roll at its fucking finest

Just like the cigarettes hurt,
Just like the whiskey burns, wohoa wohoa
I guess I'm never gonna learn

Just like the cigarettes hurt,
Just like the whiskey burns, whoa wohoa
I guess I'm never gonna learn

Ive drunk the last time you stood here, your by my side,
You thought that it should be just like the good old days of rock and roll
Without a drink, without regret without a second thought
You look below on the end of the back of your fucking throat

I am rock and roll living a life we can only dream of
I am rock and roll at its fucking finest

12. Morte Et Dabo

So he came forth and said onto me
Son, you are forsaken
Condemned for the sins that you live
I offer you forgiveness [x2]

Bow down before me
I will never bow to he who claims to be divine
I'll tear down your gates with my bare fucking hands
And burn the world that you rule over
No matter how convinced you are, you're not a god of mine
You're not a fucking god of mine

I never believed in you
From what I see it was justified
I never believed in you,
In you

This power over the masses is a gift you don't deserve
When your blood spills, we'll drink from your fucking skull
You can run, you can hide

Bitch
I'll fucking find you
I'll tear your eyes out of your self-righteous face
Lord
I'll fucking find you
I'll tear your tongue out of your rancid fucking mouth

Heaven will, burn to the fucking ground
Your world will crumble, and fall from the skies
Blood will spill, and rain upon the earth
Your reign is over, and I'll wear your crown

This is your demise
I know you feel it in your chest
This is your demise
It's getting closer
This is your demise
I'm creeping from the depths of hell
This is your demise
I know where you sleep

I never believed in you
From what I can see it was justified
I never believed in you,
In you

What a way to end the world
With false hope in a false god
What a way to end the world
With false hope in you.
