I feel eyelashes on my cheek
They lacerate my flesh
Ripping so good
So put your hand in mine
Never let go
Never wake up
Cause Im done with promises

Im taking blood oaths.
And it feels like you could kiss
My imperfections,
My imperfections away.
And I will stand
Stand by your side
Until the sun turns the sky
All the colors I see in your eyes

And Ill never need to see the sun again
Theres enough light in your eyes
To light up our little world
So take me
Take me away
Kill me slowly
Ill never be the same

I swear to you
On everything I am
And I dedicate to you
All that I am
And I promise you
That Ill stand right by your side
Forever and always
Until the day I die

The bite marks on my neck
Never felt so good
Im losing control
And its all that I can do
Not to black out
Fall into lust with you
Your kisses infect me
The dark gift is lost in you

And Ill never need to see the sun again
Theres enough light in your eyes
To light up our little world
So take me
Take me away
Kill me slowly
Ill never be the same

And I feel immortal
And I want to make you feel the same
So stand by me
As we immolate
We can burn in each other's arms.
The Curse

I agree. I kinda see The Remembrance Ballad as softer than this song though. Still an amazing song.

In an interview Alex explained how he doesnt take his anti depressents when writting because it affects his ability.... He is my biggest inspiration as a writter.... just simply amazing.... great song

He still is my biggest inspiration as a writter... but sadly its not from this album... His lyrics have changed drasticly... He still has talent but he tunes his lyrics in a diffrent angle now.... This song has some of the better lyrics on this album

atreyu changed their style of music for the new album so it wouldn't be the same as the first one, what's the point of putting out the same album with different lyrics??? their still experimenting with styles, i personnaly love the new album, and i gaurentee there's more people that like this style than the old style, yes his got probably the best hardcore scream going around, but shit, his a fucken awesome singer as well!! and more people like singing, especially with the hard rock style of music these guys produce, so if u don't like atreyu why are you listening to them and hanging shit on them?? go post good comments about bands you like instead of wasting time dropping crap on ones you don't, your not music gods, you have your taste like everyone else, and if this comment of mine starts fights and arguments well fuck me you guys need lives, c'mon!!

Jester, you probably don't get enough from a woman to know what "deprived" really is.

this song is absolutely beautiful. it deffinately shows progression in all musical aspects of the band. and the chorus, oh man that chorus. this is good to dedicate to a significant other.

my band is going to cover it someday. except the brandon's vocals will be traded in for female vocals and a keyboard to go along with it.

Give me a break.. I wouldn't care if this band didn't have the talent to play better music. The first album was beautiful and meant somthing. This album was made so that they would attract a bigger fan base. I'm sorry, but I can't respect a band who lessons thier talent and music for money. It great if you like them now, enjoy it. I just hope nobody ascoiciates them with hardcore anymore.

Ughh...the "hardcore" scene...more like the 'tardcore' scene if you ask me. I care more about what I listen to and how I actually am than making an impression. I don't conform to non-conforming so that I don't conform.
