ASKING ALEXANDRIA - A SINGLE MOMENT OF SINCERITY

False tales lies of a washed up prom queen
Why'd you tell me everything was fine?
Everything was okay?

Get on your knees
Oh, why you tore me up?
No, why everything's dead inside
Oh, you could've told me, at least I would've known
No, you should've told me and carved it in my bones

Tear out my eyes to remove the gift of sight
Proves ever cursing still, the light can't find us here
Painted red my eyes are burning
And still you hide behind the waves

Your silence is so haunting
Your words relentless, burying in
My heart betrays me for a last first kiss goodbye
Fall asleep and jar one eye

Spilling every lie you've spilled before
But I'm not forgiving you
What happened between us, what can I give to save us
Being righteous isn't quite enough
What happened between us, what can I give to save me

These oceans are far between our hearts (these oceans are)
The breathing has got too hard

Scream with the voice of an angel
Lie in the name of the gospel
Smile in the face of your victims, smile for me
This is my last request to you
Hold my breath
I was clutching on to disaster
Hold my breath

ASKING ALEXANDRIA - 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

Oh!

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

ASKING ALEXANDRIA - "To The Stage"

ASKING ALEXANDRIA

"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 they come

Oh she's drown, 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 is 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 so sorry
I'm so sorry

ASKING ALEXANDRIA - The Final Episode (Let's Change the channel)

Oh my God, 

oh my God, 

if only he knew,

if only he knew,

if only he knew about the world 

without the bullshit and the lies.
We could've saved him, 

they could've saved me. 

But instead I'm here drowningin my own fucking mind, 

and I'll be damned if you're the death of me.
Blood and ink stain the walls, 

silently with bloodied knuckles,

carry on,

hoping it's not too wrong.

You said the nights were far too long. 

Honey, it's just the start of it. 

Oh my God,

if he only knew.

Oh my God, 

if only he knew,

if only he knew, 

if only he knew.

Just stand up and scream,

the tainted clock is counting down

You gave in to me,

would you say the nights are far too long now?
Oh my God,

(oh my fucking God) 

The tears that stain my cheekmust me look weak,

I wear them proudly, 

I wear them proud.
Just stand up and scream,  

the tainted clock is counting down.

You gave in to me,

would you say the nights are far too long now?
Your knife,my back.My gun,your head.
Your knife,my back.My gun,your head.
You need a doctor baby,you scared?You need a doctor baby,you scared?
You need a doctor baby,you scared?You need a doctor baby,you scared, you scared,you scared, you?
You need a doctor baby,you scared?
You need a doctor baby,you scared?You need a doctor baby,you need a doctor baby,you scared?
