ANBERLIN LYRICS

"Never Take Friendship Personal"

There's a hatchet got a knife When I awoke there was nothing real in this life But dreams are so intoxicating, (intoxicating) When you're doing this alone Gun, rope, brick on the way But words have no meaning when its you that says I really do care, no baby I, I really do care! Innocence gone, never take friendship personal If you can't hold yourself together Why should I hold you now? In a sense gone, never take friendship personal If you can't hold yourself together Why should I hold you now? Once a skeptic, now the critic And you think that you finally found a place of your own. Amongst the cold and timid souls Where only failure knows your name Look around for the closest to blame But look no further than the hands beneath your arms and now your 6 feet down, buried with, with your passing fame fame fame fame. Innocence gone, never take friendship personal If you can't hold yourself together Why should I hold you now? In a sense gone, never take friendship personal If you can't hold yourself together Why should I hold you now? Oh, oh, oh, you lie Tell me something more than what you tried to hide If you can't find yourself, then how can I expect to find you. Oh, oh, oh, you cry Tell me something more than what you try The greatest tragedy is not your death But a life without reason, your life has no purpose

Your life has no reason, your life has no purpose Innocence gone, never take friendship personal If you can't hold yourself together Why should I hold you now? In a sense gone, never take friendship personal If you can't hold yourself together Why should I hold you now? Innocence gone, never take friendship personal If you can't hold yourself together Why should I hold you now?

"Paperthin Hymn"
When your only friends are hotel rooms Hands are distant lullabies If I could turn around I would tonight These roads never seemed so long Since your paper heart stopped beating leaving me suddenly alone Will daybreak ever come? Who's gonna call on Sunday morning? Who's gonna drive you home? I just want one more chance To put my arms in fragile hands I thought you said forever Over and over A sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion These thoughts run through my head Over and over Complaints of violins become my only friends August evenings Bring solemn warnings To remember to kiss the ones you love goodnight You never know what temporal days may bring Laugh, love, live free and sing

When life is in discord Praise ye the lord Who's gonna call on Sunday morning? Who's gonna drive you home? I just want one more chance To put my arms in fragile hands I thought you said forever Over and over The sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion These thoughts run through my head Over and over Complaints of violins become my only friends I thought you said forever over and over The sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion These thoughts run through my head over and over Complaints of violins become my only friends I thought you said forever over and over These thoughts run through my head

"Stationary Stationery"

"The Feel Good Drag"

"I'm here for you" she said and we can stay for awhile, my boyfriend's gone, we can just pretend. Lips that need no introduction Now who's the greater sin, Your drab eyes seem to invite (tell me darling) Where do we begin. Was this over before Before it ever began Your kiss Your calls Your crutch Like the devils got your hand This was over before Before it ever began Your lips

Your lies Your lust Like the devils in your hands Everyone in this town is seeing somebody else Everybody's tired of someone our eyes wander for help Prayers that need no answer now I'm tired of who I am You were my greatest mistake I fell in love with your sin Your littlest sin Was this over before Before it ever began Your kiss Your calls Your crutch Like the devils got your hand This was over before Before it ever began Your lips Your lies Your lust Like the devils in your hands Failure is your disease You want my outline drawn You are my greatest failure Discourse your saving song Was this over before Before it ever began Your kiss Your calls Your crutch Like the devils got your hand This was over before Before it ever began Your lips Your lies Your lust Like the devils in your hands Was this over before Before it ever began Your kiss Your calls Your crutch

Like the devils got your hand This was over before Before it ever began Your lips Your lies Your lust Like the devils in your hands

"Younglife"
Hey brother, do you remember when We used to play outdoors Til the light was absorbed by the night? Hey brother, it was an innocent time We used to laugh til we cry We're still boys on the inside (I want to do it again) The first time staying out all night The last that we got away with lies I can hear it in the back of my mind Over and over again (I want to do it again) Late nights and early lights Never thought it would come to a goodbye I replay it in the back of my mind Over and over again (I want to do it again) Lala la, lala la la la Lala la la la (I want to do it again) Hey lover, do you remember when We would dance in your apartment Til neighbors would knock on your door? And I remember, you remember when We had no money to speak of No where else to eat but your floor (I want to do it again) The first time staying out all night The last time you look me in the eyes I can see that in the back of my mind Over and over again (I want to do it again)

Late nights, all entwined Made a promise to never say goodbye I replay in the back of my mind Over and over again All those days gone forever Wonder if we're going to ever See all our younglife friends that we made again Have we all lost connection? The life pulls in all direction Memories bring us back to where we've been (I want to do it again) The first time staying out all night The last time that we got away with lies We can hear it in the back of our minds Over and over again (I want to do it again) Late nights and early lights Never thought it would come to a goodbye We replay it in the back of our minds Over and over and over (I want to do it again) Lala la la, lala la la la Lala la la la (I want to do it again) Lala la la, lala la la la Lala la la la (I want to do it again) Lala la la, lala la la la Lala la la la (I want to do it again) Lala la la, lala la la la Lala la la la (I want to hear you again) Lala la la...
