Senses Fail for more than 10 years already , my favorite release of one of my favorite bands of all time.

I simply love the perfect synergy of Alesana's talent for beautiful melodies, heart-filled lyrics and energetic heaviness they've shown their whole career.

Call it what you want, but in my already 12 years long lasting emo heart,this release, like all releases from Alesana, will allways have a special place in my heart like it's always have ever been since I was 16 back in 2008 Favorite track: Not A Single Word About This.

Apology 04:09
Sweat drips in my eyes Screams of lust we cry Tonight you are everything You're everything You're everything to me No more as I wake from this perfect dream I'll escape from Edens walls I can not stay and live this lie For I must think only of myself And to think that you would not be scared or surprised If I had severed all these ties This is the end I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight Help me get over you I feel so numb to see this bitter end of beautiful illusions Broken pieces will not mend to save our past now It has come to this one last kiss I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight Help me get over you One last false apology Help me get over you Now we must let go Urgency overwhelms me as I must restrain my flood of tears I refuse to be slave to your false beauty again I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight Help me get over you One last false apology Help me get over you In my mind Blood drips from your eyes A beautiful last goodbye

this time I die our love ruined by your malignance broken shards of feelings are now just tainted memories left beautiful dreams that I cherished now are so disgusting as I strangle the light from you I watched the smile fading from your face you bled till there was nothing in your veins blood stains my hands so I won't forget you its all over now so dry your eyes there is no forgiveness, be afraid to die blood stains my hands so I won't forget you tears fall as your screams of anguish rage throughout the heavens amidst the penance you must pay caress this bullet as eyes close to the painful memories you left consume the rest of me my vision of you has now turned to dust, your porcelain smile gone I watched the smile fading from your face you bled till there was nothing in your veins blood stains my hands so I won't forget you its all over now so dry your eyes... there is no forgiveness, be afraid to die blood stains my hands so I won't forget you you let me go you let me go too soon I love you are meaningless words that slip away as I slit your throat and I will slit your throat

You make me sick I'll tear out those diamond eyes i can't bear to see Crimson spills on paper skin They call this tragedy Remembering the nights when you'd whisper to me soft "Forever more my heart is yours" Realize those words have died As the life fades from your eyes All that i can say is it may not be too late Try again, make it perfect, make me worth it Or else die for all i care If I can not be loved then none shall be Think of this as i softly kiss your blood glazed lips once more On this night this thing you call love dies Your face disgusts me, smile and bear your lies This broken trust will become your demise As the life fades from your eyes All that i can say is it may not be too late Try again, make it perfect, make me worth it Or else die for all i care After today silence will haunt you Expect no forgiveness for your life will end tonight Now i grit my teeth and finish what i know must be done To kill the memory of you,and you said this would be forever As the life fades from your eyes All that i can say is it may not be too late Try again, make it perfect, make me worth it Or else die for all i care

I'd push you away but you are the only thing I know I can't help believing in you... the idea of beauty leaves me enslaved say you'll stay for tonight and I promise you this will be the last I'd push you away but you are the only thing I know at your feet I now lay for you are the only thing I know I stare blindly into my reflection a piece of me lost... I am terrified that I cannot breathe without you I am nothing in my eyes if not lost I can't see past your eyes, without them I would die Shackles cut my wrists as I fight the chains None can hold me I'd push you away but you are the only thing I know at your feet I now lay for you are the only thing I know in a room where I once told you everything, I am alone once beholden to nothing and no one how is it that I am slave to these eyes which glisten with untold secrets that I crave so wildly to understand? I must steel my heart to your warm gaze I'll claw out my eyes and see you no more its because of you I sometimes wish that I would die sometimes I wish I would die leaving you behind enraptured by my ignorance, I now deserve sympathy

you've taken the last of me the god's of your innocence shall not protect you from the hate of my wrath you've taken the last of me... blame the end on yourself you deserve each tear that falls scratch out your eyes the blood will drown in red and I will leave you for dead a lovely evening draped in regret the shadow of justice now engulfs you as cold hands reap the pain they've sewn you've taken the last of me blame the end on yourself you deserve each tear that falls scratch out your eyes the blood will drown in red and I will leave you for dead a lovely evening draped in regret Forever gone the taste of your death replaced the smell of your breath a lovely evening draped in regret suffocate your will to live with my pain you were so easily seduced by greed you could never feel my calloused hands closing around your throat taste your loss wake into the nightmare that has become our love may your screams never cease you've taken the last of me

No one ever said that life was fair And I'm not saying that it should be So knowing that you are what you want to be and I'm not Comes as no surprise But dont expect me to be happy for you And dont smile at me and tell me things will work out for me too I dont want your pity I hate your pity Taste your vanity and its sweet bitterness As you hide behind your veil of my stolen hopes and lost dreams You took them all I watched you steal my thoughts and had to see you smile As you build your dreams on my shattered hopes I'll look back on a day once loved and fantasize for tragedy Swallow your pride Beg me to make this easier And listen to my hopeless cries Suffer alone in emptiness I lust to see you swallowed by the mess that you left in your wake Disgust lies deep within your empty gaze Beg me to make this easier And listen as my hopeless cries Send stares into your meaningless eyes My envy can't describe how I loathe you for having all the stars Leaving my eyes to marvel the sky knowing it should be mine Yet its you I see wasting the dream that only I deserve I'll tear off your face to see your smile As you build your dreams on my shattered hopes I'll look back on a day once loved And fantasize for tragedy Beg me to make this easier And listen as my hopeless cries Send stares into your meaningless eyes

Last night I forgot How the sound your voice whispered sweet Goodbyes, your eyes left to die Unable to Understand why Why not one more night One last kiss good bye My sweet love tonight I hope the stars still spell out your name where you are Kiss my closings eyes Help me sleep without you I'm so lost And tonight I cry Tell me why I can't live without your warm embrace Why not one more night one last kiss good bye my sweet love tonight I hope the stars still spell out your name where you are I close my eyes and you are everything I see Goodbye Goodbye to you my love I won't forget you I'll see you soon Goodbye my love Goodbye to you my love I won't forget you Bye, bye, love

Jealousy rears its ugly head I won't forget the things you said before Goodbye, goodnight, for good...remember my face when you feel the pain Help me to sleep... Help me to sleep... Now I'll fight with my eyes closed (with my eyes closed) for the things I've let go Sweet breath escapes... choke on the lies that were your last goodbye Hear my voice as you sleep... Sleep tight, goodnight... choke on the lies that were your last goodbye Helps me to sleep without your memory And my shattered dreams collect dust on what used to be a lie It haunts me no more and now you're gone, you've left me alone I wasn't wrong to feel this way inside so goodbye, goodnight, for good Now I'll fight with my eyes closed (with my eyes closed) for the things I've let go Sweet breath escapes... choke on the lies that were your last goodbye Hear my voice as you sleep... Sleep tight, goodnight... choke on the lies that were your last... I find pleasure in the taste of your decay I anxiously watch you fade away I can't explain what's happening inside of me I refuse to fight you anymore All I know is I have to make sure...make sure you never wake up again Soft flesh gives way to trembling hand... Beautiful eyes are sewn shut Searing thread suffocates the light (the light) Beautiful eyes are sewn shut Searing thread suffocates the light (light)

Silence screams, "you're just so beautiful in blue" Breathless stares escape your undying eyes Are you blind to my sorrow and sympathy? A piece of me will die with your last breath... This will all be over soon for you are so lost inside Glazed eyes long for the waves' embrace Drawn to an end so near... Far away are days when you smiled just to hear my voice Why are you trying to run away? My love, I can't find the words to tell you... Drown all of your fantasies Silent angel crashes through the sky With your final broken promise Having lost sight of the stars Regail me with your tales of lonely, bittersweet loss Giving up comes too easy when hope is gone I'll walk away so you can choke on your dying breath But if you side against me, to hell with you... Far away are days when you smiled just to hear my voice Why are you trying to run away? My love, I can't find the words to tell you... The fear has stolen her heart as she wakes from her dream Treacherous ink finds her lungs, seizing her screams Numb hands now reach too late to take back the light Far away are days when you smiled just to hear my voice Why are you trying to run away? My love, I can't find the words to tell you... Far away are days when you smiled... Seas cry out butchering this tragic soul without hope Their frailty is broken and now fades into the blue...
