From Autumn to Ashes
Album • 2001
Stare into my eyes Rake your nails Across my skin I know the reason Ambers of you scatter as you breathe (Embers of you scatter when) The life you knew Disappears In its wake (In its wake, you're standing in) With one skin As paper, I cut your life (And in paper, I cut your life) As paper, I cut your life (And in paper, I cut your life) As paper, I cut your life Follow the outline that you traced Embers of you scatter As you breathe (Embers of you scatter when) The life you knew Disappears in its wake (In its wake, you're standing in) With one skin that you do not own As these waves break There's things I'll miss Things I miss And I'm feeling fake With my whole life On your lips The sky is closed Today Here I sit Waiting For a word Hidden in clouds To take me back From here I'm hoping that this fever breaks When this smile Spites my face Take me back to a place (Take me away from here) I will not feel as you (Take me anywhere) Somewhere (Anywhere) Anywhere (Anywhere) Far away from the Outline of you (Anywhere but here)

Creation imperfect Do you defy this? Could you and your swollen ego fit Into my master plan for failure? I take the shame to heart Lock it away in a Place that sees not the Light of day I will use it When I see your face again Your head in your hands and this is my cue If three words could heal you, I'd only speak two Your eyelids grow heavy and this is my cue If three words could heal you, I'd only speak two How could you think That after all you put me through And all you put on my shoulders That I would answer Your cries for help? How could you think That after all you put me through And all you put on my shoulders That I would answer Your cries for help? Unleash the rage built up (in my throat) Show you how you hurt me And hopefully you see You have the power To destroy My will to live

The end result of so many meetings At late night diners with no one eating We sit in corners and sip burnt coffee Count the tiles up on the ceiling Skip this pretense and cut straight to dying Don't beg me to keep your eyes from crying You said so much Without ever parting your lips It's past 3 AM and I'm still far from sleep And this is a habit that I can't break You're my only company I'm skipping stones And the street lights flicker like this match in my hand The street lights flicker like this match in my hand And the street lights flicker like this match in my hand Begging to strike, begging to strike And I keep repeating but this payphone tele stopped receiving Flat out of change now, I'm sure you won't accept the charges It's all the same, 'cause by the morning, I'll be halfway to Colorado or some place like that You said so much Without ever parting your lips Past 3 AM and I'm still far from sleep And this is a habit that I can't break You're my only company I'm skipping stones down a dull suburban street And she keeps on asking, do you think it hurts much to die? It's hurting so much more to stay alive now She is going to find out how much it hurts to die She laces her perfume up with death, I feel it in my lungs So I pull in the deepest breath, and drop my head

How sad, this is what your life has been reduced to (Every breath that I exhale is a sigh) A single room apartment containing no more than a mattress How sad when the strings have been removed from the blinds and all the outlets have been painted over (Every breath that I exhale is a sigh of exhaustion) And the television screen is streaked with blood smeared from your knuckles as you were trying to punch it out (Every breath that I exhale is a sigh) But you underestimated its strength Or maybe you just weren't trying hard enough (Every breath that I exhale is a sigh of exhaustion) Startled by a knock at the door you rise for the first time in two days to answer But you can only greet the visitor with one short statement (Every breath that I exhale is a sigh) Hello my first name is distance and I really don't care if I never wake up again (Every breath that I exhale is a sigh of exhaustion) Hello my name is distance and I really don't care if I never wake up again (Every breath that I exhale is a sigh) And I really don't care if I never wake up again (Every breath that I exhale is a sigh of exhaustion) And I really don't care if I never wake up again

UGH!!!!!! The sound of my breath Flutters past your ear Tearing down fear Grasp your heart strings By their frayed ends To choke down the feeling left inside The sands of time Slide down your cheek In the form of Liquified dreams Each one stands for More than the next You give yourself To all but you Take all you had And give what's left How could you have been so blind? The shallow waters that you come upon Show you how empty your life truly is You look into the vast nothingness to see Something that Is not there You try to discern Where to go from here You try to Make sense of this confusion That you Have inside And how you Can get there This van is on a one-way trip We'll rock it straight to hell Our crue is motley and our theaters filled with pain Pain Across the creek (Across the creek) And into your home (Your home) 'Cause she don't want you (She don't want you) Any other way But by! A force! Unknown! Deep! Inside! You! Veins tied in! Knots! Bind! Your blistering! Hands to! Keep you! In this! World! Forsaken! As you! Leave your! Wilting! Soul! Behind!

[Intro: Sample From "Dawson's Creek" ] (You break my heart into a thousand pieces and you say it's because I deserve better?) (You break my heart) (You break my heart) (You break my heart) (You break my heart into a thousand pieces and you say it's because I deserve better?) Emotionless grey skies bleed somber dreams of sorrow Blackened unseen heart tears a virgin's godlike innocence From its palace, paint sarcastic smiles upon new wounds Tears of misery stain scar-filled minds Hatred new like tomorrow flows from bitter memories Purity now embraced by sinful ideals, why? Lifeless tomb rests weary with prowling peering eyes Silence falls upon deaf ears covered by night Alone in thought, shaking Biting tongues of lead at unfit moments Screaming disbelief with no faith in sight Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Yeah-eah, woo! And her disgust has no borders No limits to strive for She bends and breaks To rules set by the weak She's finally seen, she's a beautiful girl With a smile so grand she could stop all the world Stolen her skin, he sews her mouth shut Nothing to him, her screams just die out As she cries out, her voice dies out As she cries out, her voice dies out Love once inside her heart, lay in my hands Love once inside her heart, lay in my hands Love once inside her heart, lay in my hands Love! So beautiful She cries So beautiful Was it asked for, was it implied? What could have been done? Was it asked for, was it implied? What could have been done? Inside, her mind dies!

Darkness chokes my emotions Your breath numbs my soul Stand with me By my side Take my hand And lead the way Out from the shadows Into my world Show me how to live A life! Owned by! Regret My blood runs cold Lifeless in shame Now is the time To right the wrong Inside my veins Poison words lie Within a mind as Guilty as yours Take what's left inside me I've no use for it Stained with thoughts uncaring Open and let me in (It spun my head when I thought) Show your world deceit Let me live as you (You were talking to me) Need not to feel Emotions rain down (I'm such a fool for thinking) Drowned by innocence Thoughts escape me (You're thinking of me) Harsh words spit blindly And open paths of life Take all that is me (and) A lifeless somber soul (and) Curse the day you wake As solace sets in I press my fist to the pillows Wishing it was your teeth Darkness chokes my emotions Your breath numbs my soul Stand with me By my side Take my hand And lead the way Out from the shadows Into my world And my soul Is not For you To own My soul Is not For you To own My soul Is not For you To own My soul is not For you to own I will not Live life To see Your face Anymore

I felt you slip away Far away from me Further from me You seem to drift Caught myself Wishing you back As I fight To catch you Anger Wells inside me I see me Frowning In your eyes Your eyes I see my reflection (I see the fear in you) And the pain scripted (where no one should ever be) Across my face (I find myself striving to) Set in stone (catch you from) I see my reflection (I see the fear in you) And the pain scripted (where no one should ever be) Across my face (I find myself striving to) Set in stone (catch you from) This will hurt me less and less every time Until I feel nothing Anger Wells inside of me I see me Frowning In your Eyes Slip away Far away from me Further from me You seem to drift far away Caught myself Wishing you back As I strive for you Let's go She said, "It's not that I don't love you anymore But it would be So much more Accurate to say That I never loved you in the first place" Never in the first place I put the fear in you where no one should ever Be Nothing to me, everything to you Nothing to me, everything to you Nothing to me, everything to you Nothing to me, everything to you [ Sample From "Dawson's Creek" ] (I can't take it anymore) (When I'm with you I feel like I'm nothing) (I feel like I'm nothing) (That's why I flinch when you come touch me) (It's why I never touch you, why I never even think about it) (Because when I start to) (It just reminds me that I'm not good enough) You're nothing to me You're nothing to me You're nothing to me You're nothing to me

In a world of despair Our lives will end Some without warning While others die by design Under watchful eyes We tread on evil ground With jaded eyes around us Each step is scrutinized In the pouring rain We speed this car I try So hard In this life we lead (Wish) A choice will be made (I) Where we go from here (Was) When our time is done (More prepared for) At the gates of heaven (This) Angels stare at us (Time) May they lead you home to (you) Where you'll live in peace? (shouldn't have passed before me) You take without warning (I'll shut myself up and black out the windows) As we sit and wait (it's best to consider me dead as well) Breath in, take a life (I'm hoping, in time, I'll get over) Breath out, cleanse your soul (I might be fine when I get older) (No way) You took her life I gave you mine to ease the pain of my soul To show you how much she has meant to me I will fight for our lives And take them to our graves In a world of despair Our lives will end Some without warning While others die by design Under watchful eyes We tread on evil ground With jaded eyes around us Each step is scrutinized Why?! Scrutinized! Scrutinized! I will defy you The evil from above Open my mind Let you in I will not forgive The sins you've made You took her life from me

Here you stand seething with guilt Silence only justifies this act of cowardice The look stapled on your face cries out for forgiveness The one thing that I cannot give Did you ever see that one person And the way they do these things And it hurts you so much It's like choking, choking, choking I can give you freedom from your guilt With a flick of my wrist onto yours I can give you peace of mind with a forced smile I can give you death with the look upon my face This is your freedom in a life of fallacy With no last kiss and no regrets You don't deserve good bye This is your freedom in a life of fallacy With no last kiss and no good bye Here you stand seething with guilt Silence only justifies this act of cowardice With a short story, the one you add to daily You are the tragic loss No story book ending for this fairy tale of you Just the one composed with blood taken from your pen That you hold in your lifeless hand Cry for you, shed tears, mourn, wish the end Cry for you, shed tears, mourn, wish the end Mourn, wish the end Mourn, wish the end Mourn, wish the end Did you ever look, did you ever see that one person And the subtle way that they do these things And it hurts so much? So much like choking down the embers of a great blaze It's that moment when your eyes seem to spread aspersions And to scream confessions at the insipid sky parting clouds You let this one person come down for the most perfect moment And it breaks my heart to know The only reason you are here now Is a reminder of what I'll never have I'll never have, I'll never Standing so close knowing that it kills me to breathe you in Standing so close knowing that it kills me to breathe you in But this table for one has become bearable I now take comfort in this, and for this, I cherish you Did you ever look, did you ever see that one person And the subtle way that they do these things And it hurts so much? So much it's like choking down the embers of a great blaze It's that moment when your eyes seem to spread aspersions And to scream confessions at the insipid sky parting clouds And you let this one person come down, come down I cherish you, I cherish you Just say that you would do the same for me Just say you would do the same for me Just say you would do the same Just say you would do the same for me For as much as I love autumn I'm giving myself to ashes
