Atlas Dying (live musicians) (Taken with instagram)

Staring at the ceiling
The world keeps on spinning
Medicaded into apathy
The candle burns to the ground

We try to live our daily lives
Despite setbacks we still strive
To make the best within our means
The cycle spiraling down

Not much to say, not much to do
The sky is grey and I’m feeling blue
All they things they say are true
My life is empty without you

Cynical means I think too much
I handle situations as such
Passively I stand by
My world crumbled before my eyes

I’ll close my eyes once again
In my dreams ill find a friend
Well dance and sing and run away
Only to wake where I began.

Trying to find a savior
Swallowed it in a glass of wine
Floated off to sleep
There she was all the time

This angel in my bed
Comatose like me
Again we fall asleep
Only now I can see

Feel like coming apart
Not sure how I haven’t yet
Then I look at her and find
Not an ounce of regret

The pills swim happily inside me
They’ll keep me quiet for a while
Yet shes there all the time,
Through the good, through the trials

And I cannot deserve her
How she’s here, I cannot tell
Yet I’ve somehow kept her
Perhaps under my spell

Drowning in a world of bullshit and deception
So few are those that are worth the time
Shallow and vain are the friends all around me
Friends till the end, yeah we’ve all heard that line

100 days in the desert can change you
Yet you’ve been the same all these years
Stood by me when the night was the darkest
Together through the blood sweat and tears

(chorus)

Now you know I’d take a bullet for you
My true definition of friend
Blood runs thicker than water
For my sister you’ve always been

(repeat verse one or two if necessary).

Got me down again,
same old dillema as before,
so much to me,
yet so much ignored

Pretty little girl,
pretty little life,
the life you’d have live,
the life that isn’t mine

Simple little girl,
simple little hopes,
a life spent alone,
I just couldn’t cope

And now I hear you say am I gonna look your way,

Once upon a time,
We shed our skin as the clock struck 9
We never slept and we didn’t mind,
We left our worries far behind

And i know,
You picked me up when i was feeling low
And i know,
Dancing in the lunar glow

So many nights,
Felt like a vampire bite,
Music pounding with the lights,
Feeling you holding me tight

And i know,
You picked me up when i was feeling low
And i know,
Dancing in the lunar glow

:Distortion:

Once you were my only friend,
I hoped that it would never end,

I saw you once, in a dream,
I longed for how real it seemed

Once you were my only friend
Im still yours till the end,

I saw you once, in a dream,
And i still longed for how real it seemed

And i know,
You picked me up when i was feeling low

Sometimes Id like to save the world
Others, Id like to destroy it
Sometimes id like to destroy you
Can’t say I wouldn’t enjoy it

Do you suppose there’s more to this world
Than the carnal pleasures you seek
Youd like us to believe you’re strong
Your love of self makes you weak

And I can’t blame myself
No I won’t blame my self
And I can’t blame myself
You’re dead inside, anyway

You found yourself the victim once,
And now you play the villain
And some have tried to save your soul
But cannot while you’re unwilling

But I can’t blame myself
No I won’t blame myself
You know I can’t blame myself
You were dead inside anyway

And you’re dead
And your dead
And you’re dead inside anyway
And you’re dead
And you’re dead
And you’re dead inside anyway

(Lyrics: Jacob Willey)

Once you ran to me
 
Into open arms
 
A smile on my face
 
A love so warm

Now there’s nothing
 
What was, no more
 
Wasted time spent
 
Such a useless whore

Now run girl, run run run
 
But not to me, I’m done

Yet all is not wasted,
 
As you move on, so do I
 
So you see, all is not lost
 
Just a little wasted time

Now run girl, fast as you can.

(lyrics: Jacob Willey)

A Smile

Saw you in a picture

Such a pretty face

Just like you were years ago

I always felt out of place

Once you had the world

Or so it may have seemed

I never quite made the grade

Never fit in your dreams

Looking back now

At the past I’ve left behind

I forgot you once mattered,

Not worth pressing rewind

And it’s not worth it now

Just a photo on the screen

Made me think of what has been

Then forget it again

I saw your pretty smile,

I saw your perfect hair,

I saw your pathetic face,

I smiled, because I don’t care

(Lyrics: Jacob Willey)

Being Followed

when the clock came around to say that I die I didn’t comply and I said that i’ll stay

and I’ll say it again if it ever comes back to take me away to a place in the yard

but it’s always right there behind me again and it followed me here i will never be free

(Lyrics: John Goebel)
