Текст песни:

I′ve watched them build
Upon these empty hearts

I′ve watched them build
Upon these empty hearts
False hopes of lossless paradise
Gathering together

The dead hearts beat as one
Stillborn comfort feeding lies
Through answers of self denial
Divided between a dissolute self
And the sorrow of sincere devotion
Devotion

What is it that you find peace in now?
Where is your hope in this dark night?

What is it that you find peace in now?
Where is your hope in this dark night?

@ As I Lay Dying

Текст песни:

Now this is who we are
I am no one′s hero
For we are not the giant men
That some may think
You are faithful when we are not
So I′d like to tell this story
The way it is meant to be
Without the burden that′s in our hearts
None of us would have ever found You
For You are faithful when we are not
You began a work
That only you can complete

Now this is who we are
I′ll never know the answers
And I′ll always wonder why

...Why we′re given grace we′ll never deserve
And a second chance that we will never earn
For there is nothing I can do to save myself

Now this is who we are
I′ll never know the answers
And I′ll always wonder why
But You have let me start again
I′d rather be called weak
Than die thinking I was strong

@ As I Lay Dying

Текст песни:

I′ve looked straight into your eyes
And turned my head for the last time
Because I was scared to leave these walls in ruin
Like the fate of those who trust in themselves
We are alone and afraid

I know you are the one we left behind
Yet somehow we are the ones who feel alone

I will no longer turn my head
I will never forget you
You are the one we left behind
You are the forsaken

We′ve built our confidence
On broken dreams now left for dead
Yet we′ve been condemned
To chase these dreams that never end

Our selfishness consumes us
Until the whole world is not enough
Forgive the day that I erased your name
For it′s the memory of me that will decay

@ As I Lay Dying

Текст песни:

The sound of silent voices surveying my thoughts
regularity defining perfection
Neither sorrow nor contentment
Whispering emptiness
Whispering emptiness
Frail words collapse

My weight only stirs the ground
How long can I hold your hand as you walk over graves
You search for tears of compassion
Yet find the comfort of winter
You find the comfort
Reassurance dead like the falling leaves
Losing hope in your unchanging ways
all of my strength cannot save you
If you are unwilling to help yourself

@ As I Lay Dying

Текст песни:

Through this pain I refine
Tearing me from within
Screaming to be released but held fast by Your love
Hold me here
Break me until my face breathes upon this ground
Outstretched with my head to the floor
Spent of all my strength
Relying on Yours

@ As I Lay Dying

Текст песни:

Can you understand my meaning hidden in the roses around my eyes
I want you to know how much it means to have you in my life
Your love brings me close again in this instance this single moment
when our worlds collide
The wire of eternity twists around us
I can feel this river rising, moving up my back
Some things never change
Some things never go away
Some things never change
Some things never go away

I could never forget you
and I will never be the same
I can never forget you
and I will never be the same

Some things never change
Some things never go away
Some things never change
Some things never go away

I could never forget you
and I will never be the same

@ As I Lay Dying

Текст песни:

Exhausted beyond repair
Stripped of all I had
Forced to die inside
Now I breathe a renewed Life
It is now I see without my eyes
If this is what it takes
To bring me to my knees
Then feed me pain until
I realize I am but a slave
Remind me of my need for You
Remind me of who I am

@ As I Lay Dying

Текст песни:

You meant the world to me
All I have now is memories
Your love brought joy to my heart
You meant the world to me
Tears of sorrow stream from my broken soul
But I will see you again
When this world fades away
I will see you again

@ As I Lay Dying

Текст песни:

I laid the night before me
Unraveled the tangles of my heart
All I felt was stale hollow air

These streams of uncertainty
They are collapsing upon my mind
Upon my mind

Yeah

Torrents fill my veins until I burst
With mistaken guilt and shame

My battered bones
Try to keep fighting
Against the endless ocean of self defeat

As time goes on
Some months are yet to pass
As time goes on
Some months are yet to pass
As time goes on
Some months are yet to pass
Are yet to pass
Let′s go

Puddle puddles of ink
Surround this tired chair
All of my sorrow has been spilled
(Yeah)
Into into my reflection
Reflection

@ As I Lay Dying

Текст песни:

I wanted to bring you all that is in my heart
I wanted to give you my everything
but I′ve failed you
I′ve failed you so many times
how can I stand here
how can I stand here before you

how can I stand here before you
when I begin to steal
what only belongs to you
what only belongs to you

I am able to bring you
Nothing that isn′t already yours

I am so ashamed, I′m so ashamed
Of what I ever called my own
Take what I have, take these broken remains
What can I give to you that you don′t already deserve

You laid down your life when I refused to give mine

@ As I Lay Dying

Текст песни:

[Verse]
If music is
A mirror revealing
The depths of my heart
Then I will write
The darkest song
For without
Forgiveness
My soul is lost

[Chorus (2x):]
All that is hope
Within destruction
Comes from you
For I have fallen

Fallen

[Verse (Quiet)]
If music is
A mirror revealing
The depths of my heart
Then I will write
The darkest song
For without
Forgiveness
My soul is lost

All that is hope
Within destruction
Comes from you

[Break]

For I have fallen
And there is nothing good
Within me yet I′ve
Been given life
I will
I will never
Deserve
For without
Forgiveness
Without forgiveness my soul is lost

[Outro (4x)]
All that is hope
Within destruction

[4x]
All that is hope

@ As I Lay Dying

Текст песни:

94 hours of regret for me to realize what I held
unfading beauty, not just a face
I held its innocence within my heart
Go!
Now I won′t let go
I won′t let go
I won′t let go
I won′t
I won′t let go
I won′t
I won′t let go
The torment of your eyes has awakened my soul.
The torment of your eyes has awakened my soul.
The pain of a moment′s time will forever beg your forgiveness
Forgiveness
94 hours for me to realize
I held unfailing beauty
I your innocence

@ As I Lay Dying

Текст песни:

Yeah

How could I ever go back (ever go back)
Back to the life
Where I live amongst the dead (dead)

How could I go back
To live amongst the dead

Those who have forgotten how to feel (how to feel)
And have become slaves (become slaves) to memory
And wishful thinking

But Your love has set me free
As You′ve awakened every star
That has been sleeping
In the constellation of my soul

[x2]
How could I go back
How could I go back
To live amongst the dead
Amongst the dead

[x2]
How could I go back
To live amongst the dead

Those who imprisoned beauty
I never want to leave Your arms
So I wait in hope for Your embrace
For Your embrace
I wait in hope for Your embrace
I wait in hope for Your embrace

Yeah

Illusions of what I thought was love
Illusions of what I thought was love
Now I have clear sight
To see I′ve left nothing behind

@ As I Lay Dying

Текст песни:

I can only imagine that wrath is being held out
So there will be time for us to be redeemed
But surely wrath is not being held out
So that we may redeem ourselves
For I′ve seen the madness
Of those who died trying
But is regret only a word that the living possess?
I long to see their faces
Regardless of the decay
For in the eyes of the deceased...

We would see hope in our last day
Inside this dying world
For there is still beauty
Inside this dying world

@ As I Lay Dying

Текст песни:

How many years have we waited
for a ship that never set sail?
And how many days have we wasted
chasing a love that was not our own?
I sat ashore and watched
as one hopeless wave crashed upon another
while my thoughts ran to the hills
my heart never reached the sea
with only delusions of an endless journey
I am left with an ocean between you and me

Is this your salvation?
Is this all you can give?
I will not stand in reflection
of someone else’s dream

The gate to my heart has been weld shut
with the splendor of my aspirations closed in
how many years have we waited
for a ship that never set sail?
And how many days have we wasted
chasing a love that was not our own?

Is this your salvation?
Is this all you can give?
I will not stand in reflection
of someone else’s dream

@ As I Lay Dying

Текст песни:

Yeah

I have traveled so far to find so little
Meaning in tragedy or tragedy
In the search for meaning
Dark clouds have lead me here

Yeah

Confined freedom
Guides us to security
What if everything (yeah)
I have been taught is a lie
And all of my teachers
Have been wrong this whole time

Compelling us to fight
The battles they would not
They have already won
And we have already lost
If we do not learn from their mistakes
We have already lost

Yeah

If we do not learn to change
