THE AMITY AFFLICTION LYRICS

1. Ivy (Doomsday)

I will cover you like ivy,
And choke out all the light
Baby I could be your doomsday
Let you know "we'll be alright"

'Cause I've got heaven in my veins
But heaven doesn't numb the pain

I could be your doomsday
I could be your worst ever nightmare

It feels like I could sink forever,
And I am anchored in your heart
So down to hell we go together
I was your doomsday from the start

We can watch the world burn
We can watch the world burn
Smoke will choke out all the light

Baby I could be your doomsday

2. Feels Like I'm Dying

Dying

Most nights can't close my eyes,
If you leave, let me down gently
Got devils on my back,
Telling me, I should end it

I've been living in a haze,
You help me find some freedom
If you leave I'm begging please,
You've gotta let me down gently

'Cause there's hell to pay,
And I'm drowning in debt
Yeah it feels like I'm dying

Feels like I'm
Dying

Feels like I'm dying

I've got a heart set to attack,
Set to attack, but you disarm me
You placed heaven in my arms,
Stormy eyes that shock like lightning

3. Holier Than Heaven

I'm still sick with my depression,
Trapped inside my fragile shell
Is your god holier than heaven?
My heart's heavier than hell

The Devil's God, and God's a liar
The Devil's God, and God's a lie
The Devil's God, and God's a liar
The Devil's God, and he is lying

Holier than heaven,
Heavier than hell
I've seen the Devil,
At the bottom of the well

Holier than heaven
Heavier than hell
I've seen the Devil,
And he's dragging me,
Dragging me to Hell

My hands are chained and I am sinking
To the bottom of the well
I can feel the water rising,
My soul is too worthless to sell

I'm sick of chasing heaven
I'm going straight to Hell
I'm chained down to my past so I give up

I don't believe in God. No
I've got no time for that
Chained down to my convictions. I give up

4. Burn Alive

I'll burn alive for you,
Burn alive it's true

Yeah!

I'll burn alive for you,
Burn alive it's true
And you can all dance in my ashes, it's my
Parting gift to you

I'm haunted by memories, I—
I'm terrified

If I burn for you,
I'll burn alive
I'll burn alive

I've been living on the outside,
Trying hard to let it go
But how I'm feeling on the inside's
The only life I've ever known. Yeah!

Let's start a fire
I'm terrified
I'm terrified

5. Misery

I've seen the future where I,
Don't wanna die;
Sorrow wrapped around my heart,
Like an unwanted vine

I've seen the future
It breaks the burden of my past
Painted black and all forgotten;
You lit the fire in my heart

Sorrow floats where my dreams won't,
Yeah sorrow floats where my dreams won't

Misery loves company?
(Loves company, loves company)
That don't mean a thing to me
(Nothing to me, nothing to me)

I've seen the future and I
Wanted to live
Gotta think of that life,
Each time I'm crossing a bridge.

If hope floats and sorrow too,
I guess I'll just hold onto you:
The only one who really knows what I've been through.

"I just want to die!"

Black out the sun when I'm feeling low,
Pull back the hammer when it's time to go

(Loves company, loves company)
(Nothing to me, nothing to me)

6. Kick Rocks

There's subtle voices on the wind,
Asking me the same old things
They don't wanna be there for the come down,
But they sure do wanna see it

Caught me feeling so damn empty,
But you never will admit it;
You like me better on the outside,
So you don't have to deal with it

You're casting stones in my direction,
Gotta check on what I do
I'm surrounded by glass houses,
Just trying to see what I've been through

Just kick rocks, kick rocks,
'Til your heart stops beating
Chew glass, chew glass,
'Til your mouth stops bleeding

I can tell you stories
I can open up my scars
I can tell you why I had to do it
Had to fill my head with stars

I am fighting believe me,
But you want me down on my knees
I feel you look down on me,
Take it all, take the air that I breathe

I know, I should know better,
But when you're under the weather
It's hard to pull it together
If not now, maybe never

So just
Kick rocks, kick rocks,
'Til your heart stops beating
Chew glass, chew glass,
'Til your mouth stops bleeding

7. Black Cloud

While this black cloud follows me,
Open my chest, and feel me weep
The world opens its crust for me,
Rain down on me, God swallow me

Through caverns wide,
And oceans deep,
I drag my weary head and feet
Rain down on me,
God swallow me,
The black dog will not let me be

While this black cloud
Follows me
and forces me down to my knees
Open your crust Earth,
And swallow me
While this black cloud follows me

While this black cloud follows me

I followed you,
Got on my knees,
Rain down on me
Please let me sleep

Open the earth
And swallow me
I'm begging you,
Let me be free

They said you died to set us free,
So I chained myself down on my knees

Down on my knees

8. D.I.E.

If I pray to the open sky,
One more time before I close my eyes
My shadow self will get another life?

I don't think so, and hell is empty,
The devils here are vast and plenty
I've had a few, I'm friends with many
The devil's here

The devils here (the devils here)
The devils here (the devils here)
The devils here are vast and plenty;

The devils here (the devils here)
The devils here (the devils here)
The devils here
And we're all gonna

D.I.E.
We're all gonna die, we're all gonna die,
We're all gonna

D.I.E.
D.I.E. M.Y. D.A.R.L.I.N.G.
Tell me what comes next when I D.I.E.?
Will the sky give way?
Will life let me be?

9. Drag the Lake

Kick it!

Drag the lake,
You won't find me
I've been tempting fate
With my heart beside me

I am the stone below the water,
Cold and hard to touch
Just when you think I can't get lower,
I turn my back and fuck it up

You can drag the lake,
But you won't find me

So come and drag the lake,
You'll see I've done some diving
I had some extra weight,
With no one to untie me

I'll stare into the sun,
To burn out what I've done
I'll tear myself apart,
To see what I've become

Nothing wrong with my depression
My sick and miserable obsession
If I could only get some space
If I could only learn my lesson

10. Beltsville Blues

Can you feel me on the outside waiting?
Can you feel me on the outside waiting?
Can you feel the weight taking me away?
Can you see me on the inside fading?
Inside fading?

Ooh, look at the mess I made
Take me down, down, down
Carry me away
Oh baby (ooh) look at the mess I made
Let me drown, drown, drown,
In the water babe, yeah

Down the river make my heart stop beating
Down the river make my heart stop beating
Can you hear the sound,
Of them underground?
All my hurt is on the inside wailing
Inside wailing
Inside wailing
Inside wailing!

Just let me drown, oh!

Get up, get up!

Take me down
This time I'm done
Into the river and out of the sun (out of the sun)

Under the water it's all out of love
I'll drown alone
Who gives a fuck

11. Set Me Free

I've been waiting for sunlight
I've been searching for love inside
I've been wanting a new life but you are the one,
Who holds it all

I've been waiting for sunlight (sunlight, oh!)
I've been searching for love inside (love inside)
I've been wanting a new life but you are the one,
Who holds it all

Oh God!

Oh God I'm alone again
On my knees
I hate the way I'm feeling
Heaven take me now (heaven take me now)

Oh God I'm a broken man,
Nothing left for me
And I am pleading
Heaven take me now (heaven take me now)

Set me free, yeah!

Let me bathe in your sunlight (sunlight, oh!)
Take my hand and we'll take flight (take flight)
I've been feeling your love
I know you are the one,
Who holds it all

Now everything is golden
And this world feels brand new to me
Golden

"Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the Earth.
I've been given a bad break, but I've got an awful lot to live for."

12. The Gifthorse

Stuck on the dark side of the moon
Stuck on the dark side (dark side)

Our sadness was,
Like two ships in the night (ships in the night)

(Passing)

Both needing a lighthouse
We were yearning for light (yearning for light)

Fill the ocean with tears;
Only I came aground
And if I close my eyes now
I can still hear the sound (I can still hear the sound)

There's a message at the bottom of this bottle,
And it's calling out to me
There's a message at the bottom of this bottle,
Singing I can set you free

My friend I'll forever have you on repeat
Stuck on the dark side of the moon
Your sadness I hear echoing in the ether
You were the light in every room

If I close my eyes I can hear you
Like you're singing next to me (you're next to me)

(Oh)

Oh, brother, I hear you (I still hear you calling)
I have finally found some peace

Brother, I still hear you calling
Never been so aware that I'm falling
Brother, I still hear you calling
Never been so aware that I'm falling
Stuck here I'm forever mourning on the dark side of the moon
