Asking Alexandria - See What's On The Inside

 
I've never wanted to be
What you want me to be
It's like I've lost myself in finding my way
I feel it creeping in
Patience is wearing thin
If I could help myself I would

But there's a part of me that roams
That belongs to the road and begs me to run

To runaway from the world
To leave it all behind
To strip it away and see what's on the inside
So I'm facing my fears
And taking my time
To strip it away and see what's on the inside

I've always tried to be
What you needed from me
And along the way forgot who I am
I'm sorry for getting cold
For pushing you away
It just feels like I'm falling and nobody's there

But there's a part of me that roams
That belongs to the road and begs me to run

To runaway from the world
To leave it all behind
To strip it away and see what's on the inside
So I'm facing my fears
And taking my time
To strip it away and see out what's on the inside

To runaway from the world
To close my eyes and leap
To take the road less travelled to the unknown
To take the long way home
And be wrong sometimes
To be like the wind and find out what's on the inside

Runaway from the world
And leave it all behind
Strip it away and see what's on the inside

(Run)
Runaway from the world
And leave it all behind
Strip it away and see what's on the inside
So I'm facing my fears
And taking my time
To strip it away and see what's on the inside

(Runaway from the world) Runaway from the world
(Runaway from the world) Leave it all behind
(Runaway from the world) Runaway from the world
(Runaway from the world) Leave it all behind

Asking Alexandria - I Won't Give In

 
Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself

I won't give in

If my heart could sing, would you stay?
Would you stay and listen?
Would you stay and listen?

If my soul was torn, would you help?
Would you try and fix me?
Would you help un-break me?

Your smile, it eats me alive
And I can't turn away any longer

Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself
I won't give in

Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself
I won't give in

I'm the ghost of what's left of me
Begging you to hear me
Can you even feel me?

I can't let you go, save me please
Will you stay here with me?
Will you ever leave me?

Your smile it eats me alive
I can't turn away any longer

Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself
I won't give in

Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself
I won't give in

I gave you everything
I never thought we would end up like this
I gave you everything
I can't let you go, save me please

I gave you everything
I won't give in
I gave you everything
I won't give in

Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself

I'll be your light in the darkness
Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself
I won't give in

I gave you everything
I never thought we would end up like this

Asking Alexandria - Into The Fire

 
Take him out back
Take him out back
Take him out back

I'm not too sure what I'm supposed to do with this
These hands, this mind, this instability
From a cage I created, to a hell that heaven made
Can't let go of the hatred cause I love the way it tastes

Take him out back

I wouldn't take back a moment
Not one miserable moment
I'll give it all 'til there's nothing
I'd walk into the fire
Into the fire
I'd walk into the fire
Into the fire
Into the fire

I've come to terms with the fact I'll never change
And that's just fine, I find solace in the pain
I don't mind the darkness, it's easy on the eyes
I'm praying for something to make me feel alive

I wouldn't take back a moment
Not one miserable moment
I'll give it all 'til there's nothing
I'd walk into the fire
Into the fire
I'd walk into the fire
Into the fire
Into the fire
The fire

I'm a paranoid, sycophant
Masochistic dilettante...
Narcissistic elephant in the room
I'm the end of the world
Thinning the herd
The all around outta my mind, fucking absurd
I am gone
I am gone

I wouldn't take back a moment
I'd walk into the fire
Into the fire
I'd walk into the fire
Into the fire
Into the fire
Fire

Take him out back

Asking Alexandria - Alone In A Room

 
I've been away, a little while
Sometimes I just can't help myself
When my mind's running wild
I seem to lose grip on reality
And I try to disregard the crazy things
The voices tell me to do but it's no use
I tried to own it, write songs about it
Believe me, I tried, in the end I needed to breathe
Find inspiration, some kind of purpose
To take a second to face the shit that makes me me

All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
Every moment, every second, every trespass
Every awful thing, every broken dream
A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage
Banging my head against the wall, tryna put words on a page
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To be alone in a room, alone in a room

I saw the world a couple times
Tried to cure the ache with absence
But that hole was still a hole
And my mind kept playing tricks on me
Feeling older every day
Took everything I had to not crash and burn
But I'm starting to learn
Sometimes I'll fall down, sometimes I'll lose hope
But those days will be few if I keep my feet on the ground
I might be lonely but I ain't alone here
So I keep pushing the limits of what makes me me

All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
Every moment, every second, every trespass
Every awful thing, every broken dream
A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage
Banging my head against the wall, tryna put words on a page
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To be alone in a room, alone in a room

I can be better than I was
I can be better than I am

All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room

All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
Every moment, every second, every trespass
Every awful thing, every broken dream
A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage
Banging my head against the wall, tryna put words on a page
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To be alone in a room, alone in a room
