Heartless Without You - Alexisonfire Lyrics

44 Caliber Love Letter

Sifting through weathered photo albums
(Does it make a difference?)
Looking for gloriously aged polaroids
(This is the way it is)
(You think it really would make a difference? Would I hang on
the beach in perfect black and hide?)
Of places you've never been.
(I broke through this hollow shell that once held me so tight I
couldn't breathe)
A place to accept you don't exist
(Come with me, jump off the edge)

"Smile for the camera sweetheart. I really wanna immortalize the
moment."
Just remember the first step in forgetting
Is destroying all the evidence.
With friends like you,
Who needs subtext?
Sub. Text. Sub. Text.

This is a .44 caliber love letter straight from my heart.

With a gun, make your shot.
Let's hope for better shit.
(Straight {straight!} from {from!} my {my!} heart {heart!})
That reason for separation.
(Straight {straight!} from {from!} my {my!} heart {heart!})
Straight from... my... heart.
Christened by your bullet.
I'm losing patience.
Well I guess...
It's my own fault.

Don't remember.
Don't remember.
Don't... remember.
Don't!

Sifting through weathered photo albums
(Does it make a difference?)
Looking for gloriously aged polaroids
(This is the way it is)
(You think it really would make a difference? Would I hang on
the beach in perfect black and hide?)
Of places you've never been.
(I broke through this hollow shell that once held me so tight I
couldn't breathe)
A place to accept you don't exist
(Come with me, jump off the edge)

This is a .44 caliber love letter straight from my heart.

Don't re..
Don't re..
Don't... remember
Don't! remember
Don't!

Accidents

I'm not sure what's worse
The waiting or the waiting room
"You're next sir" becomes a cruel taunt to you
recycled air, the smell of sleep and disinfectant
Your god is a two door elavator

Do they even cure you
(CUT ME OPEN DRUG ME)
Or is it just to humour us before we die
(REPAIR ALL MY DEFECTS)
If Only we could heal ourselves
We wouldn't need to be hooked up to these machines

Whoa whoa whoa...

Let's redefine (6x)
What it means to heal

Do they even cure you
(CUT ME OPEN DRUG ME)
Or is it just to humour us before we die
(REPAIR ALL MY DEFECTS)
If Only we could heal ourselves
We wouldn't need to be hooked up to these machines

Whao whoa whoa...

Boiled Frogs

Waiting for retirement
Let himself overview
The question what to do, there's nothing there
The workload grows

I’m always wishing, I’m always wishing too late
For things to come my way
It always ends up the same
Count your blessings
I must be missing, I must be missing the point
Your signal fades away and all I’m left with is noise
Count your blessings on one hand

So wait up I’m not sleeping alone again tonight
There’s so much to dream about, there must be more to my life

Poor little tin man, still swinging his axe
Even though his joints are clogged with rust

My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away
Safe in monotony, so safe, day after day
Count your blessings
My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away
cold wind blows off the lake and I know for sure that its too late
Count your blessings on one hand

So wait up I’m not sleeping alone again tonight
There’s so much to dream about, there must be more to my life

Can’t help but feel betrayed, punch the clock every single day
There’s no loyalty and no remorse
You spoke for present check
That makes me fucking sick
He's sick of, he can’t say no

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

So wait up I’m not sleeping alone again tonight
There’s so much to dream about, there must be more to my life
So wait up
So wait up I’m not sleeping alone again tonight
Between the light and shallow waves is where I’m going to die
Wait up for me
Wait up for me
Wait up for me

Counter Parts and Number Them

Jennifer, they lied to you when they said you couldn't breath underwater.
I lied to when I said I was hard,
because I'm softer than a thrift store sweater and twice as worn in.
I was cast away once but I will be found again. This I promise you.

Back up vocals:
So here it is the end is near
Never would have that I'd be something to be easily discard
Now I see it all so clear
So it seems when you turned away it left a scar

To A Friend

I think that its time to get out
My ... are fading fast
My ... just a little bit easier
Dark times these shadows cast

What are you suffering for
You're proud of some kind of personal war
And will you throw it away
For nothing more than the simple taste

[Chorus]
I'll stay in time and once you pass by (your ... will only take beneath my skin)
I'll draw this line and hope you'll take my side (breathe slow, breathe slow)
You shouldn't have to fight alone (you shouldn't have to fight alone)
It's nobody's medal but your own

There goes...again
...as we get cold
I think its time to kill the drama
This life style's getting old
This bursts behind cold sores
I smile from dark windows
Bloody lies that seem to haunt me
Or maybe I don't really know

Feel this, so big
Waiting for me in the darkest
Part of my imagination

This is all ...
Wake up this is just a glimpse
Until I self explode in my head
But ... I do confess

Oh, there's no relief
Oh, this won't get off of
Oh, there's no relief
Oh, this won't get off of me

I'll stay in time and once you pass by
I'll draw this line and hope you'll take my side
You shouldn't have to fight alone
It's nobody's medal but your own
