Alexisonfire – To A Friend lyrics
I'm thinking that it's time to get out
My patients are fading fast
The mind bruises just a little bit easier
Dark times and shadows cast

What are you suffering for?
Your pride or some kind of personal war?
And will you throw it away?
For nothing more than the simple taste?

[Chorus:]
I'll stay in time and watch you pass by
[paranoia woven deep beneath my skin]
And I'll draw this line (breath slow)
And hope you take my side (breath slow)
You shouldn't have to fight alone
[you shouldn't have to fight at all]
Its nobody's battle but your own

Panic holds me like a gun
Firm and steadfast bleak and cold
I think it's time to kill the drama
This life style's getting old

Faces threaten from behind closed doors
Eyes spy from dark windows
Plotting minds that seek to harm me, or maybe not
I don't really know

There is something waiting
For me
In the darkest Part of
My ima gi na-tion

[Chorus:]
I'll stay in time and watch you pass by
[paranoia woven deep beneath my skin]
And I'll draw this line (breath slow)
And hope you take my side (breath slow)
You shouldn't have to fight alone
[you shouldn't have to fight at all]
Its nobody's battle but your own

This is just self-induced terror
There's more to come
This is just a glimpse
I tell myself that it's all in my head
But I'm pretty hard to convince

Oh, there's no relief
Oh, this world can offer
Oh, there's no relief
Oh, this world can offer me

I stay in time and watch you pass by
I draw this line
And hope you'll take my side
You shouldn't have to fight alone
It's nobody's battle but your own

    I heard a voice calling me in a poem I wrote. I left the words in blood I bleed singing a love note. Left in hate the worlds made him he jumped first. The free fall set the picture he painted his own herse whats words when the amount to the nothing. If love is hate than I love nothing. And hate everything. If that makes sense to something than f*k everything because its back and forth plate I stole the bases living as a wraith I couldn't have the ending picture so I can't believe. Theres no faith left except down on your knees the only way to leave me deathless is to put the faith in someone left reckless this is the way of the neo wolf. You can't make me hope because I'm bullet proof. This is my own story if you can't drive it up your not for me. But the cell of the beast was left in stages. You can't supress what the inner heart lust's for with the 6th seal of an inner child left rages. Less than you know the story wasnt about love. He took his soul from his own heart and painted the canvas in blood. His own wishes left the world still hoping. This is what happens when the story's left unwritten or not spoken. Just in the mind of the one who painted the script ima show you how I left the scene's spliffed. Unheard soldier/poet.
