Asking Alexandria - Stand Up And Scream LYRICS

IF BRING ME THE HORIZON, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, AND ENTER SHIKARI ALL SLEPT TOGETHER THE RESULT WOULD BE ASKING ALEXANDRIA!

----------------------------------------------------

OK so as you all know Asking Alexandria's new album Stand Up And Scream ended up leaking on Tuesday, this isn't that bad because the album comes out September 15th. Good job on Sumerian Records for keeping it on lock for so long. These guys are constantly being compared to the likes of The Devil Wears Prada, Miss May I, Bring Me the Horizon, I See Stars, and Attack Attack! (when Austin Carlile was front man, not now.) To me being compared to those bands shouldn't be a problem but so many people seem to feel that is a terrible thing. Are you fucking stupid? Those bands listed all have an amazing track record not too mention some of the best music in their genre's. The band recorded 13 tracks 6 of them which were already released as demos, Don't worry they completely changed the way the songs sound in pretty much all aspects. So anyway, I took the time and snagged the lyrics to all the demos that Asking Alexandria posted on their Myspace before they were signed. I took my time and listened to each track and fix the lyrics because some of them had things added, as well as taken out. Here are the lyrics I GOT MY RETAIL TODAY (9*11*09)

ALBUM REVIEW POSTED ON THEiNTERLUDE: http://www.theinterlude.com/index.php?section=reviews&id=172

ALL LYRICS ARE PERFECT, ACCORDING TO MY BOOKLET!

1. Alerion (Intro)

FUCK THIS! /

CROSS MY HEART I HOPE YOU DIE /

LEFT BY THE ROADSIDE /

KARMAS A BITCH, RIGHT?

2. Final Episode (Let's Change the Channel)

OH MY GOD /

IF ONLY HE KNEW /

IF ONLY HE KNEW ABOUT THE WORLD WITHOUT THE BULLSHIT AND THE LIES /

WE COULD'VE SAVED HIM /

THEY COULD'VE SAVED ME /

BUT INSTEAD I'M HERE DROWNING IN MY OWN FUCKING MIND /

AND I'LL BE DAMNED IF YOU'RE THE DEATH OF ME /

BLOOD AND INK STAIN THE WALLS /

SILENTLY WITH BLOODIED KNUCKLES I CARRY ON /

HOPING IT'S NOT TOO WRONG /

YOU SAID THE NIGHTS WERE FAR TOO LONG /

Honey it's just the start of it /

OH MY GOD /

IF ONLY HE KNEW /

Just stand up and scream /

The tainted clock is counting down /

You gave in to me /

Would you say the nights are far too long now /

THE TEARS THAT STAIN MY CHEEK MUST MAKE ME LOOK WEAK /

I WEAR THEM PROUDLY /

Just stand up and scream /

The tainted clock is counting down /

You gave in to me /

Would you say the nights are far too long now /

YOUR KNIFE, MY BACK, MY GUN, YOUR HEAD /

YOU NEED A DOCTOR? BABY?

3. A Candlelit Dinner With Inamorta

THIS ISN'T OVER BABY DON'T BELIEVE A WORD THEY SAID /

BUT THEN /

SHE TAKES A MOMENT TO PONDER /

TO WONDER WHAT COULD'VE BEEN GIVEN ANOTHER CHANCE /

TO FIND THE LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS AND WAY OUT OF THIS /

IF ONLY SHE SAW WHAT I COULD SEE /

She takes a moment to stumble to her feet /

If only I was there to hold her hand /

IF ONLY SHE SAW WHAT I SAW /

SHE'D GET OUT OF THIS ONE /

SHE'D GET OUT OF HERE /

WHAT BURNS THE MOST IS THAT YOU LIED RIGHT TO MY FACE /

And still I hold your hand to set you FREE /

With eyes closed /

Her heart breaks /

And through it all she brought this on herself /

For me, for you, the fallen, save her /

For us, for them, for good, save her /

SHE FALLS BESIDE ME /

This song's for YOU! /

With eyes closed /

Her heart breaks /

And through it all she brought this on herself

4. Nobody Don't Dance No More

I'M ALIVE /

WATCH YOURSELF I'M TAKING OVER /

THE CRACKS IN THE PAVEMENT WON'T BREAK MY STRIDE /

I TREAD LIGHTLY /

I'M ALIVE /

I can't believe what I've become /

I Won't stop breathing /

Your world is falling at your feet /

I won't stop breathing /

OH MY GOD /

I can't believe what I've become /

I won't stop breathing /

Your world is falling at your feet /

I won't stop breathing /

JUST 'CAUSE YOU'RE BREATHING DON'T MEAN /

YOU'RE ALIVE /

EXCUSES ARE USELESS WHEN YOUR MOUTH'S STAPLED SHUT /

YOU'RE DROWNING IN THE BACK ROOM /

SO THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS TO WALTZ ? /

I MUST BE DREAMING /

DEMISE SO SURREAL

5. Hey There, Mr. Brooks (Featuring Shawn Milke of Alesana)

OH, YOU'RE BACK TO ME AND THE HUNGER RETURNS /

I TOLD MYSELF I WAS DONE FOR GOOD /

ALL THE MEMORIES OF ALL THE PICTURES BURNED /

I SEE THEM DANCING /

MY HEART BEGINS TO POUND /

I didn't make a sound /

They didn't SEE ME COMING /

THE LIGHTS ARE LEFT ON /

THE CURTAINS LEFT WIDE /

One scream it's over /

I LAY THEM SIDE BY SIDE /

Holding each other /

(Shawn Milke of Alesana)

I'll be there in the morning with a smile on my face /

I'll be there in the morning to start it all again /

BOY YOU CAUGHT ME RED HANDED /

YOU'VE GOT NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT YOU JUST GOT YOURSELF INTO /

PANIC RUNS DOWN YOUR LEG, SEEING ME KILL AGAIN /

YOU JUST GOT YOURSELF CAUGHT AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IT /

ON THE DRIVE YOU GET THE RUSH AND PULL THE GUN ON ME /

WE MAKE THE STOP, IT'S TIME TO BE SET FREE /

OH, THE BULLETS GONE /

I TAKE THE SPADE I SLIT YOUR THROAT /

YOU FALL INTO YOUR GRAVE I COVER UP MY TRACKS I'M DONE /

I WON'T KILL AGAIN /

I SAID THAT'S IT I'M DONE /

(Shawn Milke of Alesana)

I'll be there in the morning with a smile on my face /

I'll be there in the morning to start it all again /

NO SHE'S DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL /

SHE WASN'T MEANT TO BE ANOTHER ME /

BUT IT'S THE SCISSORS TO MY THROAT /

TO MY FUCKING THROAT

6. Hiatus (Instrumental)

Interlude

7. If You Can't Ride Two Horses At Once, You Should Get Out Of the Circus

I CAN'T SEE THROUGH THE TEARS IN MY EYES /

I CAN'T BREATHE /

I FEEL I FAILED /

I WAS MEANT TO MAKE YOU SMILE /

I WAS MEANT TO MAKE YOU SHINE /

THEY SAID THIS COULD NEVER HAPPEN /

THEY SAID WE COULD NEVER BE /

ARE YOU TELLING ME, YOU LISTENED ? /

So there's no you and me? /

And we can't live this way forever /

You said you'd run away with me /

THAT WE'D ESCAPE FROM THE ORDINARY /

THAT WE'D ESCAPE FROM THE WORLD THAT TIED US DOWN /

THAT WE'D ESCAPE FROM THE ORDINARY /

THAT WE'D ESCAPE FROM THE WORLD THAT KEPT US APART /

So now this is over and the world falls upon me /

I never expected to be here alone /

The shadows are forming as we burst into flames /

Why does this end this way?

8. A Single Moment Of Sincerity

FALSE TALES, LIES OF A WASHED UP PROM QUEEN /

WHY'D YOU TELL ME EVERYTHING WAS FINE, EVERYTHING WAS OKAY? /

GET ON YOUR KNEES, OH /

OH WHY? TEAR ME UP /

NO WHY? EVERYTHING'S DEAD INSIDE /

OH, YOU COULD'VE TOLD ME /

AT LEAST I WOULD'VE KNOWN /

NO, YOU SHOULD'VE TOLD ME /

AND CARVED IT IN MY BONES /

TEAR OUT MY EYES /

REMOVE THE GIFT OF SIGHT /

PROVES EVER CURSING /

THE LIGHT WON'T FIND US HERE /

PAINTED RED MY EYES ARE BURNING /

AND STILL YOU HIDE BEHIND THE WAVES /

YOUR SILENCE IS HAUNTING /

YOUR WORDS RELENTLESS, BURYING IN /

MY HEART BETRAYS ME FOR A LAST, FIRST KISS GOODBYE /

FALL ASLEEP, JAR ONE EYE /

Spilling every lie you spilled before /

Still I'm not forgiving you /

What happened between us? /

What can I give to save us? /

BEING RIGHTEOUS ISN'T RIGHT ENOUGH /

What happened between us? /

What can I give to save me? /

These oceans are far between our hearts /

The breathing has got too hard /

SCREAM WITH THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL /

LIE IN THE NAME OF THE GOSPEL /

SMILE IN THE FACE OF YOUR VICTIMS /

SMILE TO ME /

THIS IS MY LAST REQUEST TO YOU /

"Hold my breath" /

I WAS CLUTCHING ONTO DISASTER /

"HOLD MY BREATH"

9. Not the American Average

ONE TWO THREE FOUR /

ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU SAID WAS IT ALL IN MY HEAD? /

Come on baby /

Keep it down /

Honey hush your lips /

Clothes trailing from the backdoor to the bedroom /

And I don’t even know your name /

(Woo) Give me all you’ve got /

Make this night worth my time /

OH, WHAT I WOULD GIVE TO LIVE THIS NIGHT AGAIN /

I KNEW WHEN I FIRST SAW YOU /

YOU'D FUCK LIKE A WHORE /

Hope they hear you scream for more /

Your thighs were made for cheeks to graze /

My lips, your poison they bring you to your knees /

GIRL GET DOWN IT'S ALMOST OVER /

TAKE IT ALL THE WAY /

You stupid fucking WHORE /

AND AFTER ALL OF MY DREAMING BEING ONLY YOU /

YOU'RE STANDING THERE BABY, OH THE THINGS THAT I COULD DO /

Back to the wall with a drink in my hand /

BACK IT UP BABY RIDE /

One step too late, and I never told you /

That I can't take another disappointment /

Breathing and grasping all leads to another messing ending /

WITH YOUR BACK AGAINST THE WALLS /

WITH YOUR FACE BURIED IN THE PILLOW /

I SEE COLD /

I FEEL YOU HEARTLESS /

YOU STUPID FUCKING BITCH

10. I Used To Have A Best Friend (But Then He Gave Me An STD)

You said you cried a thousand times /

But I don't believe a word of it /

You loved it when my heart stopped /

So you start to listen /

JUST SIT AND LISTEN /

DON'T TEST MY WORDS /

JUST BELIEVE /

LIKE I DID BELIEVE /

WHO AM I TO SAY I MISS YOU /

Fall Amy fly /

You can't lie your way out of this one /

PUT FAITH ASIDE /

WE HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW SHORT OUR TIE IS /

BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOUR DEAD /

THERE WILL BE BLOOD /

NOW YOU KNOW EXACTLY HOW I FEEL /

Fall Amy fly /

You can't lie your way out of this one /

Oh baby, just maybe you're not the one /

YOU NEVER WERE /

IT WAS ALL SYMPATHY AND SIMPLE WORDS OF NOTHINGNESS

11. A Prophecy

HOW STUBBORN ARE THE SCARS WHEN THEY WON'T FADE AWAY? /

OR JUST A GENTLE REMINDER THAT NOW ARE BETTER DAYS? /

We'll be home soon, so dry your eyes /

You'll be okay /

OH MY GOD /

THE WATER IS RISING /

YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE IN ME /

FAILING THAT I'LL RIDE THIS STORM ALONE /

WE CAN STILL MAKE IT OUT /

"Fuck" /

I CAN HELP YOU THROUGH THIS /

BUT YOU HAVE TO TAKE MY HAND /

I CAN TAKE YOU HOME /

TAKE MY HAND

I should've known the tides were getting higher /

We can still survive /

They think we're drowning but our heads are still above the waves /

YOU NEVER SAID GOODBYE /

AND NOW YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN /

12. I Was Once, Possibly, Maybe, Perhaps, A Cowboy King

I see myself there waiting by the roadside /

Laid came to nothing but a black bag and the attire I stand in /

No name, no history /

Just a target on my temple and a hole in my head /

I could’ve been one of the kings /

The shell of a boy of the man that I used to be /

A MONKEY IN A MAN SUIT /

I stand here as nothing to you /

Wind me up and watch me go /

LAY DOWN YOUR GUNS /

CUT ME FROM EAR TO EAR /

EYE FOR AN EYE /

The glass is long gone broken /

LAY DOWN YOUR GUNS /

CUT ME FROM EAR TO EAR /

EYE FOR AN EYE /

The glass is long gone broken /

I walk this road alone /

No thanks to you /

LOAD UP YOUR SIX-SHOT BABY /

PUT IT TO MY HEAD /

PULL THE TRIGGER, BLANK I'D FIGURED /

PUT IT TO ME, DEAD /

LAY YOUR GUNS DOWN LET ME DIE /

(WHY WON'T YOU JUST LET ME DIE) /

SCARS DON'T HEAL WHEN YOU KEEP CUTTING /

ALWAYS CUTTING /

CUTTING DEEPER /

ALWAYS DEEPER /

"YEEHA" /

SCARS DON'T HEAL WHEN YOU KEEP CUTTING

13. When Everyday's the Weekend

ANOTHER SUNSET /

WHAT A WAY TO START ANOTHER MESSY NIGHT /

ANOTHER DRINK, ANOTHER BAR /

ANOTHER GIRL INSIDE OF MY ARMS /

I CAN'T SEE STRAIGHT ANYMORE /

JUST GOT KICKED OUT THE FUCKING DOOR /

IT'S ALL EASY /

That's how we fucking ROLL /

Tonight's our night, like every night night before /

Until we fall /

WE'LL DRINK YOU UNDER THE FUCKING TABLE /

RACK 'EM UP /

PUT 'EM DOWN /

I LIKE TO PARTY /

YOU LIKE TO PARTY /

WE LIKE TO PARTY /

ALL FUCKING YEAR
