emery - a sin to hold on to

When I saw you walking by, I could not believe my eyes.
Underneath the city lights, reflecting all your curves just right.
Can I have your attention for a moment? I just need to say something.
If you’ve got the time, then I’ve got the reason for the sin.

Have you been looking out? Have you been watching my back?
My patience is running out and I can’t seem to stay on the right track.
Your wanting eyes keep me coming back for more and more each time.
Let’s get this right, cause there is no second chance after tonight.

I know you’ve got it in you, won’t you let it out (let it out)?
Dig a little deeper and I know you’ll find strength inside.
If we could be the ones to hold on (to stay strong), then maybe we can make a difference in somebody’s life (in somebody).

I won’t be part of the riot. I won’t be part of the revolution.
You think you’re keeping us quiet. We’re not the problem, but we are the solution.

Let’s get this right, cause there are no second chances.

emery - addicted to bad decisions

I'm addicted to bad decisions.
I just can't ever help myself.
(but this is different)
It sounds so convincing...
She's good for you, so good for us as well.
You'd be the taste lingering on my lips.
It'd be my hands clinging to your hips.

I gotta get get get it out,
gotta get me out.
Find the flaws, find the switch, just shut it down.

Would it matter if you couldn't go back?
But you never even thought to ask.
So I think if you would,
then I think that you should.

Remember, remember, remember (The blameless are not honest here)
You've done this all to get her.
(If you take this slow then she won't know)
Remember the imposters and pretenders (The blameless are not modest here)
Could never have done this to get her.
So go get her.

Is it possible to forget your name?
The identity running through your veins.
Was it worth these ends to play this part?
I never thought I could get this far.
Abandon the old and bring in the new.
But a sinking ship drowns every person here,
including you.

And tell yourself you were wrong when it hurts.
But the unoriginal you would have never worked.
Oh, you're the lucky one.

It's gonna show when the stains bleed through,
she's gonna know this was never you.
Gotta get, get, get, it out, gotta get me out.
Just can't seem to shut, shut, shut, it down.
But the stains stay same and just reappear.
But I can keep this up all night for you dear.
Gotta get, get, get, me out, gotta get it out.
Find the flaws, find the switch,
just shut it down.

Remember, remember, remember (The blameless are not honest here)
You've done this all to get her.
So get her.

Is it possible to forget your name?
The identity running through your veins.
Was it worth these ends to play this part?
I never thought I could get this far.
Abandon the old and bring in the new.
But a sinking ship drowns every person here,
including you.

Tell yourself it was wrong when it hurts.
But the unoriginal you would have never worked.

Oh, you're the lucky one, you're the lucky one.
Someone would love you so much that they'd come undone.
Oh, you're the lucky one.

I'm addicted to bad decisions,
I just can't ever help myself.
Always thought I could fix the edges.
But I'm torn and there's nothing left.
I just can't stand the thought of you this way.
So I said the things I thought would make you stay.

But I was wrong.
I was wrong.
I was wrong.

Is it possible to forget your name?
The identity running through your veins.
Was it worth these ends to play this part?
I never thought I could get this far.
Abandon the old and bring in the new.
But a sinking ship drowns every person here,
including you.

And tell yourself you were wrong when it hurts.
But the unoriginal you would have never worked.
You're so unoriginal, it would have never worked.

emery - after the devil beats his wife

You wanna swim in the river
I wanna dance in the summer
You've always been the believer
I'm always left to wonder
The water is rushing so fast
I think it will take us under

Oh, what thought did you recall
That would make you say my name?

The water is so deep
A friend says "don't go"
But my mouth betrays me
And says "hold on"

And now i know

This is the pain of believing
(the danger is real)
And there's no easy way out
(how did i get here?)
You trust too much in my bravery
It's my safety you're taking

We're gonna drown in the river
I cannot swim any farther
My blood is pumping so fast
My heart and limbs underwater

And i reach and find your hand in mine
And they say you will be saved, but no
I pull and i pull and i pull
But your foot, it's anchored deep
Your face tells me you won't be free

This is the pain of believing
(the danger is real)
And there's no easy way out
(how did i get here?)
You trust too much in my bravery
It's my safety you're taking

I decided long ago
Never let your loved ones know
Who you really are, who you really are
People want the truth but never want the scars

And now i'm here
My brethren done
And i'm the one that's still lying
And you say it's gonna be okay
Over and over and over and over and over and over again...

River, wash me clean
River, wash me clean
River, wash me clean
River, wash...me...clean.

emery - all i want

Nothing's so loud
As hearing when we lie
The truth is not kind
And you've said neither am I
But the air outside so soft is saying everything
Everything

All I want is to feel this way
To be this close, to feel the same
All I want is to feel this way
The evening speaks, I feel it say...

Nothing's so cold
As closing the heart when all we need
Is to free the soul
But we wouldn't be that brave I know
And the air outside so soft, confessing everything
Everything

And it won't matter now
Whatever happens to me
Though the air speaks of all we'll never be
It won't trouble me

And it feels so close
Let it take me in
Let it hold me so
I can feel it say...

emery - as your voice fades

Emery - As Your Voice Fades

Somebody please tell me
What am I suppose to do?
You died and I'm here
Thinking that I hear your voice,
But it's somebody else
It's always somebody else

Why did you die?
Don't leave me please
I beg you God tonight bring me peace
I'll never sleep without
The dreams of you alive here with me
Alive here with me

The brightness left your eyes
As I held your face
Don't tell me it's the right time
And your last words will sustain me
Until my end... Until I see you again

White words (your life) evade me (but a moment)
I'll wait to (I'll cling to) remember you (forever)
And what you had (your words) meant to me (on my blood)
Could never be forgotten
The chains (why) of death (don't take)

Are falling (away), but my heart still bleeds
It longs for (why) the day (did you die?)
When we will be as one.

emery - bloodless

Emery - Bloodless

(take me)
far from all that's wrong and...
(let these)
fears collapse inside
(take me)
back to when i...
(believed)

and as a little boy
tries to hide his eyes
with reeds and rituals
with paper and a knife

the fire will always burn
the skin and forgery
an answer when you won't
the bloodless hands of fear

he didn't know (he didn't know)
he didn't know (he didn't know)
he didn't know
he was hungry

he didn't know (he didn't know)
he didn't know (he didn't know)
he didn't know
he was hungry

someone had a knife (someone had a knife)
took away my eyes (my eyes)

the last time is right know
this choice will take or make every thing
your face is fading out

(wash those days)
(from your eyes and let them fall away)
(drown the fear that holds you)
(wash those days)
(from your eyes and let them fall away)
(drown the fear)

he felt the wake
of torrid days
ushered through
by warm mistakes

suddenly (suddenly)
his broken feet (his broken feet)
took their rest
on bended knee

he didn't know (he didn't know)
he didn't know (he didn't know)
he didn't know
he was hungry

he didn't know (he didn't know)
he didn't know (he didn't know)
he didn't know
he was hungry
he was hungry

someone had a knife (someone had a knife)
took away my eyes (my eyes)

the last time is right know
this choice will take or make everything
your face is fading out

i won't stand here
this dance won't stop the music
your promise will help me lead
untill the end

(if this is the last time)
what words have you to say
(i won't forget you)
(exhale the last breath)
(tear down the statues)

(this scar will reamin here)
before we spill this blood
(to mark where we severed)
(my hands from your hands)
(your hands from my heart)

(if this)
this time you will be afraid
(is the last time)

(if this)
you've cost me your word now
or
you've crossed me you're done now
(is the last time)

(this is the last time)
(this is the last time)
(this is the last time)

emery - closed eyes open hands

We can make believe
We're happy and free
It's automatic when
The money is in our hands
People always try
To look beyond their own lives
But, I know that It wont last
Pride comes before our fellow man

Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh

It's a perfect day
For us to make a change
Forget about the watered down
Mistakes that we have made
And there's a way
To clear our tainted names
Just look ahead and don't be scared
We've got so many choices to make

Take a look around (Just look around)
Where is your hope found (Where is it found)
Is it the ones you love
Or just your bank account?
(We all want to be
The people we should never be
We're trying things we just don't need

It's a perfect day
For us to make a change
Forget about the watered down
Mistakes that we have made
And there's a way
To clear our tainted names
Just look ahead and don't be scared
We got so many choices to make

Paint the things we don't need
To impress those we don't know
Indebted to our own accessories
We hide behind our own lies
But the fake dreams, it can't be
The only thing we have worth living for

It's a perfect day
For us to make a change
Forget about the watered down
Mistakes that we have made
Morning breaks
into a brand new day
So look ahead and don't be scared
We've got so many choices to make

emery - disguising mistakes with goodbyes

Just take it back
They are only words
We hold the tether
We be together
We paint the night
Only to find
It's cracked and peeling
Each face revealing
What we don't say

Let's take these line and draw ourselves out of here
This shipwreck from set sail
We will map the stars tonight thay help to find a way
whan all is said, words can breath more life than death
the innocence that people share
when touching on secrets and letting down hair

Over and over let's not forget last time
I've kept the best parts and play them in my mind
This is tomorrow so take it or leave it

Empty diaries we have nothing to say
And we will take the right steps to keep these pages clean
You want the answers and i see them on your face
You need to know this is where the promise breaks

I can give you my answers

I know (i know)
If you stay (you stay)
This will be ours to take
Inside I am overwhelmed (I feel so good)
From holding back (I want you for all of my days)
But know that this won't be forever

I can't stay here
You can't ask me
Just so you would know

emery - a way for santa s sleigh

emery - the ponytail parades

Three sleepless nights
This isn't how it's supposed to be
But you're so good at taking your time
To give back to me

I will wait for you forever
If you would just ask me
I thought that i could change you
But you changed me

But it doesn't feel right
Holding someone else's hand
Together on phone lines
And living at two opposite ends

It scares me to think that you could find takers
Other than me
And better than me

But your head is elsewhere
And i'm talking enough for both of us
When will you see it's not so easy for me

you careless
And whisper
Insulting
And bruising
and i thught
That you said
Things were improving
These laces are untied
But my feet are still walking away
(i fall from your eyes. You eyes i trusted. You said forever)
Away

I never thought that you could say these words
Is this really happening?

I never thought that you could say these words
Is this really happening?
(don't say...)

I never thought that you could say these words
Is this really happening?
(don't say that we can...)

I never thought that you could say these words
Is this really happening?
(don't say that we can still be...)

I never thought that you could say these words
Is this really happening?
(don't say that we can still be friends)

Erese my name from this page
How can you take all these things
(what is inside me what have i done?)
And throw them away,
(is this the only way that you'll notice me?)
As i sit here waiting
(Dead words for closed ears all this is sung)
For you
I stay up nights
(And if you're still pretending)
Until stars leave the sky
(Why can't you look at me can you only see)

Walk away from me this night is done

emery - the weak s end

you are a smart one
saying things that can't be undone
and it shows.
you don't know what goes on here.
you don't know what happens each time
my breastplate and armor fall, they fall.
desperately abandoning
the hopes that brought you here so far.
if you think you can save just one,
you've failed them all.
why don't you just see me through this one?
it would be okay.
if you choose to be the one to release me
how could i say no?
breaking down and on your knees,
you've grasped for the things that are just out of reach.
but it's the ledge that's so far away.
the truth that you reach for the reasons to stay.
in that instance you make your choice,
drop your blanket, resound your voice.
this is God.
when all is done help me stand.

emery - under serious attack

you've taken this too far
now it has to stop
you've taken this too far

once again
the table's turned
and i'm behind
picking up the pieces from the night

my face is scarred
sometimes
i feel that i can't trust myself at all

and every time the sky
(every time the sky)
breaks open with sunshine
as streaming swords collide
(streaming swords collide)
it takes me back in time

i float away
to another place
where heaven is waiting
right outside

this is war
cannot take it anymore (cannot take it anymore)
i'm falling faster and bleeding more
than i have bled before
certain death (the pain will cause a purpose)
lingers on the other hand (and if you feel defeated)
but i will fight you
and victory will be mine in the end

circumstances mean nothing
when it's over
we will be
heroes constantly
pushing forward without any fear

if i erased the line between
forgotten names and memories
i'd never change

resolution made in vain
to face (to play out) the day
life is yours to save (save it)
or take (take it) away

emery - walls

Are you listening?

We write a thousand pages, they're torn and on the floor
Headlights hammer the windows, we're locked behind these doors
And we are never leaving, this place is part of us
And all these scenes repeating are cold to the touch

My hands seem to deceive me
When I'm nervous or when I'm healthy.
The scenery's all drawn.

They hang here from the walls dear,
Painting pictures, bleeding colors,
Blanket the windows.

Sometimes it gets so hard to breathe.
Your eyes can see right through me.

These fights with your arms left beside.
One thing and one more says goodnight.
You've got the map come get to me.
These knuckles break before they bleed.

Tear out these veins that own my heart.
This skin that wears your lasting marks.
I've built these walls come get to me, come get to me.

Is this your lesson, a slight discretion,
The lines that keep you, the lines that sweep you.
Lock the doors from the inside.

Your face is so contagious, it wears announcements,
It leaves me breathless, I won't forget this,
I won't forget...

Sometimes it gets so hard to breathe.
Your eyes can see right through me.
Let the walls have their say.

There's no conversation, words without remorse
And this television drowns the only source
Wake from these dreams of you in my arms
To the staircase where you hold my heart
This place, these walls mean everything to me.

emery - alone

Hung around here, just waiting to go home
The earth is dark and cold and I think I now know
You give yourself away, this ends alone
But I wonder, I wonder

Who gave you all your jewels
what made you sell your rights
(And you say that you have the right
to turn your back on me)
When did you know you'd forget that once you tried to fight
(And you claim that this is not your responsibility)
We grow older in this skin
We grow older in this skin

(For the ones that you placed here)
But the day you say you know your own way
(For the ones that you left here)
Is the day the blood begins to drip from our fingers
As we cling to the earth
It's pitiful
But now I know what it's like to be alone

emery - anne marie

You say that you don?t need me anymore
Well that?s just fine
You headed for the door
And you won?t hear me cryin? anymore
My Anne Marie

Anne Marie
You?re leaving me
Anne Marie
You're leaving me
And I don?t think you?re coming back this time
Anne Marie you're leaving me
And I don?t think that you can see
That I?m the man for the rest of your life

You know it?s not so hard to let you go
Remember the time at Christmas '99
When we had a snowball fight and you won
My Anne Marie

Anne Marie
You?re leaving me
Anne Marie
You're leaving me
And I don?t think you're coming back this time
Anne Marie
You're leaving me
And I don?t think that you can see
That I'm the man for the rest of your life

A dresser drawer filled with sweet love letters
And the bible you gave me
I won?t show up on your doorstep
On Sunday morning
When I pray, God hears your name
Even though things aren?t the same
And now I realize why my heart is breaking in two
?Cause you?re leaving one piece for me
And taking the rest with you
Anne Marie
