LYRICS
"YOU LEAD A LIFE NOT WORTH LIVING"
Lyrics by: Alexander Falvey (2008)
You lead a life not worth living at all
But if you leave
We won't fall
No we won't fall
And you're beginning to
Follow in the footsteps of the father who
Suddenly pushed who cared away
And focused on himself
But how can I see
How you blame me?
If I were to end my life tonight
Would you notice?
Or would I waste
A perfectly good suicide on you
Oh, through these eyes
You lead a life not worth living at all
You're a stumbling fall
But we won't fall
No we won't fall
And you're beginning to
Follow in the footsteps of the father who
Suddenly pushed who cared away
And focused on himself
But how can I see
How you blame me?
If I were to end my life tonight
Would you notice?
Or would I waste
A perfectly good suicide on you
Oh, through these eyes
If I were to waste my life tonight
Would you notice?
Or would I waste
A perfectly good suicide on you
Oh, through these eyes
These eyes have seen me through
All the pain
Caused by you
It's not going away
And we've come too far
To have you give it all away
To someone better
If I were to end my life
I'd end my life tonight
A perfectly good suicide on you
Oh, through these eyes
"ON OUR OWN" Lyrics by: Alexander Falvey (2008)
Here I am
Open road and sunshine ahead
Although it's summer time
It feels like it's dead
Out here we're all dead
And under lights burning bright
And burning for life
We're giving everything we've got
Still no one tonight
Oh there's got to be
Someone out there listening
But you with your good looks
And over-produced jokes
I doubt you would gain from it at all
And I feel so sorry for you and your ways
But I'm here to stay
And when I get to where
I'm going from here
No you won't have much to say
Here I am
Southern west with palms in a row
So much money
Yet so many in the cold
Just sifting and drifting
Trying to make it out on their own
We'll make it on our own
Oh there's got to be
Someone understanding me
But you with your good looks
And over-produced jokes
I doubt you would gain from it at all
And I feel so sorry for you and your ways
But I'm here to stay
And when I get to where
I'm going from here
No you won't have much to say
"A CRAFTED DEATH" Lyrics by: Alexander Falvey (2008)
I've walked these streets
But I've walked alone
So alone
And I've filled these seats
But I sing alone
So alone
Forsaken I've become
Spit and spat upon
From you
And if Karma is proven true
You're running out of time
I used to know this guy
Who would weasle his way through life
He tried to sell himself as a trustful guy
But he lied
Taking all he could
From the blind and the offering
When he died
It was a crafted death of his own design
Now they're on to you
And they've watched you move
And your actions prove
They'll come back for you
You're running out of time
I knew this girl
Sixteen and on the verge of
Dropping out of high school
A coked up girl with alot to prove
And she knew
All the ways to get
Every little thing she'd want
Sex sold
And killed that little girl's once sweet heart
Now they're on to you
And they've watched you move
And your actions prove
They'll come back for you
You're running out of time
"SING ME A STORY" Lyrics by: Alexander Falvey (2008)
This is the time
Where we need you
We need you the most
We've traveled through
Miles and miles of homes
Just to find that there's nowhere to go
We are all lost
In lives that are meaning less everyday
In every way
And it seems to me
That we've become content
With these fruitless lives that we lead
Tell me something tonight
To help me to sleep
Sing me a story
With the happiest ending
One that is better and purer than this
Sing me a song
With no right or wrong
So we live happily
But after all this
Now we're walking and talking alone
Looking back at all the years
But how much have we grown?
We're still missing something
Something close to home
But we need you
We need you the most
We've traveled through
Miles and miles of hope
Just to find that there's nowhere to go
Sing me a story
With the happiest ending
One that is better and purer than this
Sing me a song
With no right or wrong
So we live happily
But after all this
Sing to me...
Sing to me...
Sing to me...
Sing me to sleep...
"SLEEP TIGHT" Lyrics by: Alexander Falvey (2008)
If you would look into my eyes
I'll tell you what you'd see
You would see a reflection
You would not see me
And this conversation is growing old
And I'm feeling older
And such weight on shoulders
Puts me right over
That fine line
Between reality and my mind
Where my nightmares come alive
All while you sleep tight
These days I ain't got much to say
Keep to myself and keep away
For my mind it tends to stray
Puts me right over
That fine line
Between reality and my mind
Where my nightmares come alive
All while you sleep tight
"ALIVE BEAUTIFUL & PATIENTLY" Lyrics by: Alexander Falvey (2008)
In a world of hate
In a world of regret
I am standing on what seems to be
Faulty foundation
Built on all of these conspirices
And who do I turn to?
And exactly who am I supposed to be?
And who do I turn to?
And exactly who am I supposed to be?
But somehow you're always there
Standing and waiting for me
In a world of hate
In a world of regret
I am standing on what seems to be
Faulty foundation
Built on all of these conspiracies
And who do I turn to?
And exactly who am I supposed to be?
And who do I turn to?
And exactly who am I supposed to be?
But somehow you're always there
Standing and waiting
Alive, beautiful, and patiently
For me
And you pick me up
When I've fallen down
When I've drank too much
When I'm down, down, down
Honey it's you and me
And that's all I need to see
And we'll be walking
And we're walking
Down that long road
Honey it's you and me
And this love that we'll forever hold
Faulty foundation
Built on all of your conspiracies
And who do I turn to?
And exactly who am I supposed to be?
And who do I turn to?
And exactly who am I supposed to be?
But somehow you're always there
Standing and waiting
Alive, beautiful, and patiently
For me
And you pick me up
When I've fallen down
When I've drank too much
When I'm down, down, down
Honey it's you and me
And that's all I need to see
And we'll be walking
And we're walking
Down that long road
Honey it's you and me
And this love that we'll forever hold
"THE RAIN" Lyrics by: Alexander Falvey (2008)
Oh girl you've got me shakin'
Knees weak and I'm contimplating love
Is this momentary?
Or simply a lack there of?
Because recently I've felt so hollow
And no I don't do well alone
With this hopelessness I'm forced to swallow whole
And where is the rain?
So he may wash away my sins at stake
Just to make them again
Just to end up alone again
And again
Oh girl your touch is makin'
It hard for me to fake anything at all
You've got me holding on
Just whisper lies so soothing
And you'll have my body movin' right
You've got me holding on
And where is the rain?
So he may wash away my sins at stake
Just to make them again
Just to wake up alone again
And again
"BRING BACK THE PARTY" Lyrics by: Alexander Falvey (2008)
My friends heard of this party
And I feel like makin' noise
So I packed up my guitar
In your car
We're heading out
We gotta get feeling alright
Cause latley I've been thinking
About growing up
And moving up
But I'm going down
I'm going down
Six whole feet into this ground
And as for this town and their ideals
Well I ain't signing no deals
Just turn the radio up
I only got one life
I'm gonna live it up
We're gonna crash that big party
We're gonna bring back the party
Now it's a quarter past ten
We're late again
But then again
We always like to make
A fashionably late entrance
Just to add a little mystery
To this town, my friends, and me
They don't know us
But we'll soon meet
And we'll sing some of our stories
And maybe drink away our worries
And spark some sort of conversation
Now I'm having fun
I'm gonna drink this night up until it's gone
Oh yeah
We're gonna party
We're gonna bring back the party
Now as I walk throughout the house
Through the double doors
But now there's four
I see familiar faces
Within familiar relations
As they often brew
We let the booze make all the rules
And we did what we came to do
Made an escape for tonight
Made and escape from our lives
Back to real life
Through that sweet sunrise
"IT'S ORDINARY" Lyrics by: Alexander Falvey (2008)
Follow me
Into a world of misery
You'll find
The blackest of all hearts down here
You're in good company
It always rains
It never shines
The overcast clouding your mind
But don't look so suprised
It's ordinary
Sometimes we fall
Into a darkness
Sometimes we stay
Longer than promised
Always my friend
Yet so dishonest
For the ones that hide it
And the ones that deny it
It's ordinary
Follow me
Into a world of misery
You'll find
The blackest of all hearts down here
You're in good company
It always rains
It never shines
The overcast clouding your mind
But don't look so suprised
It's ordinary
It's hard to breathe
When the world surrounds you
And tells you how to live
And what to look like too
So many lost
Living with no clue
Struggling with such standards
That are set by me and you
It's ordinary
Follow me
Into a world of misery
You'll find
The blackest of all hearts down here
You're in good company
It always rains
It never shines
The overcast clouding your mind
But don't look so suprised
It's ordinary

"DAY DREAM GIRL" Lyrics by: Alexander Falvey (2008)
God knows
I've searched for someone true
But everytime I find love
I lose
From red to black
My heart left discolored
Since I met her
I've found no other
It's funny how my eyes
They give away
All the things that my lips
They refuse to say
It's funny how a smile from you tonight
Could save my whole life
I've been starving for someone like you
Peel away my skies of grey
And paint them blue
Even if you'll never know it
Never get the clue
You'll always have my heart in whole
All my daydreams are kept for you
For you
Day Dream Girl

"I'LL BE THERE" Lyrics by: Alexander Falvey (2009)
Make it or break it
You don't have to like it
Just don't try to fight it
Don't be your own worst enemy
Tonight
Take it or leave it
You don't have to see it
To believe it's true
Don't lose all faith
That is left in you
Friends give friends good advice
They hold onto
With all their might
So live your life
Without a care
But when in doubt
Know that I'll be there
It's complicated
We celebrate with poisioning
The very thing
We wish to keep in tact
Intoxicated
A memory per spoken line
This one's for you
Friends give friends good advice
They hold onto
With all their might
So live your life
Without a care
But when in doubt
Know that I'll be there
"SAD SONG" Lyrics by: Alexander Falvey (2009)
I have loved
I have cried
I have slowly died
But I don't regret a thing from my life
Through the darkest of trials
And a mountain of compromise
Don't you love it how
We've got nothing but time
Yet can't find
How deep the rabbit hole really goes
Don't you love the sound
Of that sad voice
He's singing your song
On the broken down radio
Sad song
It was the saddest song to ever be sung
And I hope you all sing along
And find comfort in knowing
That you're not alone at all
In a sad song
The days feel they're getting much longer
It's getting much harder to relate
These days
Keep it all bottled inside
But you're running out of room to hide
Don't you love it how
The whole world seems it's changing
Yet you seem you're staying the same
Don't you love the sound
Of that sad voice
He's singing your song
On the broken down radio
Sad song
It was the saddest song to ever be sung
And I hope you all sing along
And find comfort in knowing
That you're not alone at all
In a sad song
We are all singing a sad song
Of our own
Out of tune
Deaf of tone
You have all sung along
We are all singing a sad song
Of our own
Out of tune
Deaf of tone
Won't you come sing along
Sad song
It was the saddest song to ever be sung
And I hope you all sing along
And find comfort in knowing
That you're not alone at all
In a sad song

Haha, thanks man! Believe it or not, I've been spending less time on my bass so that I can get better at film scoring. I'm real into writing now, (for films and T.V.). I haven't done any big works but I'm hoping one day I can make a living off of it. If all else fails I'll go back to my bass. haha What's new with you guys?
