Blessthefall - To Those Left Behind Album Lyrics

Decayer

Sever the ties or it's all for nothing

Without a warning out of site
All these thoughts keep plaguing my mind
You saw this coming, you're out of time
So you can rot with the ones left behind

Nowhere to run, had this feeling
Right from the start
Another lie that I could not forgive
And now the rope's around your neck
Well it never was, yeah it never was
Well I hope you're good at starting over
Yeah it never was
And it never is going be

You act like nobody knows
If you're not at fault
Then who is in control?
Don't try to put this on me
Burn your bridges
Buried beneath
This can't be all for nothing
Sever the ties or it's all for nothing

Nowhere to run, had this feeling
Right from the start
Another lie that I could not forgive
And now the rope's around your neck
Well it never was, yeah it never was
Well I hope you're good at starting over
Yeah it never was
And it never is going be

One by one
You reap what you sew
The thought of revenge is all that I know
One by one
You reap what you sew
I'm calling you out
Just to watch you choke

One by one
The thought of revenge is all that I know
One by one
I'm calling you out
Just to watch you choke

Nowhere to run
Had this feeling
Right from the start
Another lie that I could not forgive
And now the rope's around your neck
Well it never was, yeah it never was
Well I hope you're good at starting over
Yeah it never was
And it never is going be
Well it never was, yeah it never was
Well I hope you're good at starting over
Yeah it never was
And it never is going be

This can't be all for nothing!

Walk On Water

We're reading psalms to the dead
Lighting candles to make amends
For a voice never to speak again
Six feet under for what never should've been

Stop living like you walk on water
Looking down on all those left to drown
Stop living like you walk on water
Looking down on all those left to drown

And you know I couldn't find the words before
Only if I had another day left here
I'd tell you, I'd tell you
If I had another day to try to take away your pain
Now you're so far out of reach
It's a lesson you can't teach

You love and you lose
I wish that you know
That it's just a lesson you can't teach
You love and you lose
I wish that you know
That it's just a lesson you can't teach

I've seen the scars you've tried to hide
Searching for answers when you look to the sky
Say I'm liar, say I'm a fake
I'm far from a saint
So I'll live with my mistakes

If I'm a liar, if I'm a fake
I'll take all these sins
And you can burn me at the stake
I'll take all these sins
And you can burn me at the stake

And you know I couldn't find the words before
Only if I had another day left here
I'd tell you, I'd tell you
If I had another day to try to take away your pain
Now you're so far out of reach
It's a lesson you can't teach

You love and you lose
I wish that you know
That it's just a lesson you can't teach
You love and you lose
I wish that you know
That it's just a lesson you can't teach

Son of God, are you listening?
Son of God, can you hear my cry?
We put our faith into you
How could you just watch them die?
Son of God, are you listening?
Son of God, can you hear my cry?
We put our faith into you
How could you just watch us die?

Dead Air

So long, this is harder than you know
But we'll remember everything
It's tough to let it go

Think of the nights we spent when we were not alone
They remember everything
It's tough to let it go

Here we are again, falling for it
Here we are again and we're falling for it

You won't find me there
Cause I'm already gone
Looking for what's left to hang on
Where did we go...

Now all that we have left are cemetery sights
Monuments of memories to those we left behind

Here we are again and we're falling for it

You won't find me there
Cause I'm already gone
Looking for what's left to hang on
Where did we go wrong
You won't find me there
Cause I'm already gone
Looking for what's left to hang on
Where did we go wrong

So long, this is harder than we know
But we'll remember everything
It's tough to let it go
Here we are again, again

You won't find me there
Cause I'm already gone
Looking for what's left to hang on
Where did we go wrong
You won't find me there
Cause I'm already gone
Looking for what's left to hang on
Where did we go wrong

Up In Flames

You always took me for granted
And never gave me a reason why
You left me stranded feeling worthless
Now all I see is death in your eyes
All I see is death in your eyes!

If you're counting all my sins
Hope they all add up so pull the pin
Watch it all go up in flames
Watch it all go up in flames

Don't drag me through your nightmare
Don't tear apart what I am
You've got your demons, they parallel mine
You're not the victim, you're my parasite (you're my parasite!)

You're not the only one
How could you be so selfish?
You never lie, you'll never see the truth
Your body's rising from ashes

If you want to point the blame
Hope you marked your words, you're not a saint
Watch it all go up in flames
Watch you all go up in flames

Don't drag me through your nightmare
Don't tear apart what I am
You've got your demons, they parallel mine
You're not the victim, you're my parasite
Don't drag me through your nightmare
Don't tear apart what I am
You've got your demons, they parallel mine (parallel mine!)
You're not the victim, you're my parasite (you're my parasite!)

If it makes sense
When you can see through clearer eyes (see through clearer eyes!)
If we can't learn
If we can't learn to put the past behind
So
If it makes sense
When you can read between the lines (read between the lines!)
Why can't you learn
We'll never find what we lost inside

Don't drag me through your nightmare
Don't tear apart what I am
You've got your demons, they parallel mine
You're not the victim, you're my parasite

Parasite
You've got your demons, they parallel mine (parallel mine!)
You're not the victim, you're my parasite (you're my parasite!)
You're my parasite!
We'll never find what we lost inside!

Against The Waves

How will I find the strength?
To make it out when you're pulling me under
How can I make them see?
You're so worthless to me
Recognize what lies before me
I will stare death in the face
Recognize what lies before me
I'll stand against the waves

So talk all you want
You can't see us
But we're at the top now
Never lost our way
Can't break our stride
You don't have what it takes

We hold our own
On our own
Still undefeated

I know it's hard to stay true
With vultures pulling at you
But if it's all the same
They'll find the worst in you
If we can take what we know
And give them somewhere to go
So if it's all the same
They'll find the worst in you

I won't be used
I refuse to be
I refuse to be misled
All the bullshit I've been fed
You're worthless to me

Don't count us out
The more you push only fuels the fire
We've paid the price
We're taking back
What you took away

We hold our own
On our own
Still undefeated

I know it's hard to stay true
With vultures pulling at you
But if it's all the same
They'll find the worst in you
If we can take what we know
And give them somewhere to go
So if it's all the same
They'll find the worst in you

Nothing can last forever
I won't let you tell me how to live my life
You can't control me
I won't let you tell me how to live my life
You'll never bring me down

I know it's hard to stay true
With vultures pulling at you
But if it's all the same
They'll find the worst in you
I know it's hard to stay true
With vultures pulling at you
But if it's all the same
They'll find the worst in you
If we can take what we know
And give them somewhere to go
So if it's all the same
They'll find the worst in you

So if it's all the same
They'll find the worst in you

Looking Down From The Edge

Wake up
Do I need these things that I'm asking for
So I'll give up
And turn in the dreams that I've been sold
You'll never know
The lines that were crossed
Just to make it home
So I'll cover up
The fear that I'm not there for anybody

Wish I was getting used to this
Every chance I get I let it go
Every moment spent is not enough
Wish I was getting used to all of this

I'm looking down from the edge
And would I do it again?
Would I trade the world that I know now
For a day that I don't miss you
I'm looking down from the edge
And would I do it again?
But it's getting hard to understand
Why I'm wide awake but barely breathing

I've spent all my energy
Justifying my failures at close range
Every chance I get I let it go
Every moment spent is not enough
Pull the trigger, I've been such a waste
Neglecting life and love it's one in the same thing
Every chance I get I let it go
Every moment spent is not enough

Wish I was getting used to all of this

I'm looking down from the edge
And would I do it again?
Would I trade the world that I know now
For a day that I don't miss you
I'm looking down from the edge
And would I do it again?
But it's getting hard to understand
Why I'm wide awake but barely breathing

I know I've got too much to lose
For me to turn my back on you
The writings on the wall
We were meant to fall
Don't regret the life we chose

Looking down from the edge
Would I do it again?
I'm looking down from the edge

I'm looking down from the edge
And would I do it again?
Would I trade the world that I know now
For a day that I don't miss you
I'm looking down from the edge
And would I do it again?
But it's getting hard to understand
Why I'm wide awake but barely breathing

Keep What We Love & Burn The Rest

I hear your voice inside my head
Like a ghost returning
Got you on my mind
Well my eyes are not the same
When you're nowhere near me
Always on my mind

I try to tell myself
That I'll see you again
Try to understand
Why I still pretend
So I lie awake
Waiting for the day
You'll need me

The times we had
The moment's passed

I try to tell myself
That I'll see you again
Try to understand
Why I still pretend

I try to tell myself
That I'll see you again
Try to understand
Why I still pretend
So I lie awake
Waiting for the day
You'll need me

I try to tell myself
That I'll see you again
Try to understand
Why I still pretend
So I lie awake
Waiting for the day
You'll need me

Condition // Comatose

Angels keep coming after me
Chalk outlines they captivate
Comatose concrete
Stole my hopes and dreams
It's getting hard to sink
When you're six feet deep

Am I dying?
Floating above my body
Armageddon running through my veins
I never wanted it to end this way
Dying
Floating above my body
I wish that I could numb this pain
We live and then we medicate

Hold me so close
Don't let me drift away
My whole world slips
Right out from under me

Comatose concrete
Stole my hopes and dreams
It's getting hard to sink
When you're six feet deep

Am I dying?
Floating above my body
Armageddon running through my veins
I never wanted it to end this way
Dying
Floating above my body
I wish that I could numb this pain
We live and then we medicate

Clarity
Is missing from everything
The fear that's inside of me
Pulling like tidal waves
Clarity
Is missing from everything
The fear that's inside of me
Pulling like tidal waves

Angels keep coming after me
Chalk outlines they captivate

Am I dying?
Floating above my body
Armageddon running through my veins
I never wanted it to end this way
Dying
Floating above my body
I wish that I could numb this pain
We live and then we medicate

Oathbreaker

Take back all the years that we've wasted
Your face hasn't changed
But you've become what we hated
What happened to us versus them?
Our worlds are divided
I'll never give in

It's too it late to turn it around
How can you live with yourself?
Your loyalty can't be found
How can you live with yourself?

In time
Their thoughts will fade
Their words won't mean
What we want them to say
Inside we watched them be
The enemy
That I thought that they'd never be

I took the fall for all your decisions
You call this love?
I call it blind ambition
You've turned all your diamonds to dust
I've tried so hard
But it wasn't enough

It's too it late to turn it around
How can you live with yourself?
Your loyalty can't be found
How can you live with yourself?

In time
Their thoughts will fade
Their words won't mean
What we want them to say
Inside we watched them be
The enemy
That I thought that they'd never be
Fighting in cycles
Living in shadows
Inside we watched them be
The enemy
That I thought that they'd never be

I would have given my life for you
But the path that you've chosen
Has f*cked everything
You f*cked everything

Take back all the years that we've wasted
Your face hasn't changed
But you've become what we hated
Take back all the time that we've lost
I've tried so hard
But it was never enough

In time
Their thoughts will fade
Their words won't mean
What we want them to say
Inside we watched them be
The enemy
That I thought that they'd never be
Fighting in cycles
Living in shadows
Inside we watched them be
The enemy
That I thought that they'd never be

To Those Left Behind

Where is the life within us?
Buried inside
Where is the light that blinds us?
Buried alive not ready to die
Go!

You found me at my worst
When I was far too weak to grow
Speaking all your shallow words
And always casting the first stone
In spite of all my fears
And how I may have lost my way
Only now I know the truth
You tried to suffocate me
Suffocate me
Look at what we've become
Suffocate me
Buried alive not ready to die

Awake and coming clean

If you can't sleep
It's your conscience
That's eating away
At the mess you made
So let's end this
Sew this last stitch
Lift this weight off my chest
I'll put you to rest
The past should stay dead

How did we find ourselves here?
Haunted by our own design
With everything that's come to pass
Makes it harder to confine
Reach up with open hands
Nobody left to pull me through
And if I lose my grief
Still better off without you

If you can't sleep
It's your conscience
That's eating away
At the mess you made
So let's end this
Sew this last stitch
Lift this weight off my chest
I'll put you to rest

If you can't sleep
It's your conscience
That's eating away
At the mess you made
The past should stay dead

You're like a cancer living inside of me
I feel the pressure it's getting harder to breathe
You're like a cancer living inside of me
I feel the pressure it's getting harder to breathe

You're like a cancer living inside of me
If you can't sleep
It's your conscience
You're like a cancer living inside of me
So let's end this
Sew this last stitch
You're like a cancer living inside of me
The past should stay dead

Departures

Father, don't cry
It's not so bad here
I'm doing this all on my own
Everyone else keeps passing me by
I float through this place all alone

I know it doesn't seem like you'll recover
Suffering that never goes away
But I'm here with you
So carry me through
Use me as a light to guide your way

Revisiting this old familiar place
Just to see if you could find a trace
It's time to say goodbye
At least you have to try
For me

Waiting
Wasting
Away without you here
I'll come around just give me a reason
Drifting
Sinking
Searching for a way
To reach out and pull you close

I know it doesn't seem like you'll recover
Suffering that never goes away
But I'm here with you
So carry me through
Use me as a light to guide your way

I know it doesn't seem like you'll recover
Suffering that never goes away
But I'm here with you
So carry me through
Use me as a light to guide your way

Don't you cry now
Go to sleep
Dry your eyes
Don't wait for me

Don't you cry now
Go to sleep
Dry your eyes
Don't wait for me

Don't you cry now
Go to sleep
Dry your eyes
Don't wait for me

Don't you cry now
Go to sleep
Dry your eyes
Don't wait
Don't wait for me

Don't you cry now
Go to sleep
Dry your eyes
Don't wait for me

Don't you cry now
Go to sleep
Dry your eyes
Don't wait for me

I know it doesn't seem like you'll recover
Suffering that never goes away
But I'm here with you
So carry me through
Use me as a light to guide your way

I know it doesn't seem like you'll recover
Suffering that never goes away
But I'm here with you
So carry me through
Use me as a light to guide your way
