Semi-Constructive Criticism lyrics - Circa Survive

Leave out the meaning this time
Let tensions evolve
Intimate groove confused
In childish tantrums
Your feelings were sacrificed
For a greater cause,
and if you forget what you saw, you'll be forgiven.
But there isn't a chance...

That I could do this on my own.
Now our perceptions have grown.
Branches and petals of paper and metal.
Amber tinfoil forest confines us...
And we disconnect like this is the end
we disconnect like this is the end

For everybody else's sake
For everybody else's sake
Set your mental alarm
You think it's safe to rely on
(Let them sleep!)
But there isn't a chance...

That I could do this on my...
We do a childish dance.
Your feelings were sacrificed
For a greater cause,
and if you forget what you saw, you'll be forgiven.
But there isn't a chance...
But there isn't a chance...

For everybody else's sake
For everybody else's sake
Let tensions evolve
Intimate groove confused
In childish tantrums of youth
Let tensions evolve
Intimate groove confused
In childish like you always do

Set your mental alarm
If you think it's safe to rely on
If you think it's safe, for everybody else's sake

Kicking Your Crosses Down lyrics - Circa Survive

In case it gets away from us
Don't pull it close
The damage revealed the cost
And it wasn't worth it
But they'll never know
To keep in mind the line that separates idols
If the world is a dream and nothing is worth it
Unless you have a god

But we won't be saved
We'll live as slaves to love
What God takes away
Let's refill all your holes with mud
"Purchase your tickets; I'm kicking your crosses down"

In case it gets away from us
Don't pull it close
The damage revealed the cost
And it wasn't worth it
We're all going to hell

But we won't be saved
We'll live as slaves to love
What God takes away
Let's refill all your holes with mud
"Purchase your tickets; I'm kicking your crosses down"

And all the voices sound just like you
I'll be there, I'll be there
Breathe in, breathe in
It's been so long, I've felt so wrong again

I fixed myself up nice but you never came
The words rolled off our backs and sound the same
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting
I hope that it's worth it but I'll never know

On Letting Go lyrics - Circa Survive

For your futures sake
I've got advice I'd advise you to take
Don't keep betting
"Well, it's gotta light me up sometime"
You lost your turn
You lost your turn

"All I wanted to be was one of your children
And all I wanted to be was one of yours"

See how clean the water is where you are
Wash off your handcuffs
And know the hidden messages you hear
They aren't real.
You tricked your mind to feel
You tricked your mind to feel
You tricked your mind...

"All I wanted to be was one of your children
And all I wanted to be was one of yours"

Are we even now, are we even now?
We are unrelated, we are unrelated
[x2]

If blood is thicker than water
Then you'll drown quicker than we intended
If blood is thicker than water
And you'll know where you can find us in the end

So we can begin again
So we can begin
[x2]

"All I wanted to be was one of your children
And all I wanted to be was one of yours"

Carry Us Away lyrics - Circa Survive

This is not a riddle
But it's meant to entertain.
I'll be your loyal Apostle
Just send me in to take the blame.

Well what would you expect to say?
It never mattered anyway

There'll be a site and an invisible light
Shown down on them and took them in
There'll be a time when maybe tonight
Temptations win and I give in

This is not a puzzle or mainframe
But it's meant to strengthen your faith
And each time the night falls upon us
We always end up the same

Well what would you expect to say?
It never mattered anyway

There'll be a site and an invisible light
Shown down on them and took them in
There'll be a time when maybe tonight
Temptations win and I give in

Were we not born into original sin?
What you ask for is what you get
And what you were given
So fold your hands and get down on your knees

There'll be a site and an invisible light
Shown down on them and took them in
There'll be a time when maybe tonight
Temptations win and I give in

Close Your Eyes To See lyrics - Circa Survive

If you pass away in the wing fortress
There's a time divider and a technical team will be
At your services for what that matters
When the mirror shatters it's harder for me to see

If there are any answers here we haven't searched for
Just type in your code and say a prayer
How could it be, we were so secure?
Cause nothing you've ever planned on
Ever turned out the way you planned

What I tried to say this couldn't feel more wrong
I can't believe its happening or lasting this long
If we know each other then why should it be so hard?
Why should it be so hard to make it stop?

If there are any answers here we haven't searched for
Just type in your code and say a prayer
How could it be, we were so secure?
Cause nothing you've ever planned on
Ever turned out the way you planned

What I tried to say this isn't real
And I feel ashamed that I don't think that I can heal

It's a shame that I would pretend
Before making amends
It's a shame that I can't
But nothing you've ever planned on
Ever turned out
But nothing you've ever planned on
Ever turned out the way you planned
You're still disappointing them
You're still disappointing
You're still disappointing them

If there are any answers here we haven't searched for
Just type in your code and say a prayer
How could it be, we were so secure?
Nothing you've ever planned on
Ever turned out the way you planned

Your Friends Are Gone lyrics - Circa Survive

(All your friends are gone)

It climbs in slowly behind
If you trust your neighbors
They'd never suspect what you're like
Welcome them into your life
No one has to know
Playback, delete, and rewind

It's getting closer than you thought it'd get
Just get inside
It's moving faster than you'd ever planned
You'll be relieved when

When you open up
You let yourself seem vulnerable
And the morning sun
Will make our bodies comfortable
In taking off your clothes
Everything hidden is suddenly exposed

Nobody wants to hear another
Story about how you couldn't write right
It climbs in slowly behind
No one has to know
Playback, delete, and rewind

Each one is louder than the one before
And the people you care for
At ten times the expense
of all that you spent
You'll be relieved when

When you open up
You let yourself seem vulnerable
And the morning sun
Will make our bodies comfortable
In taking off your clothes
Everything hidden is suddenly exposed

You'll keep it on the inside
'Cause that's the safest place
'Cause that's the safest place to hide

All of your friends are gone
And you were barely holding on
We were wrong and they fooled us once again
We are the loneliest of men, we're the loneliest

And all your friends are gone
Nobody hears you
And all your friends were wrong
Nobody cares
And all your friends are gone
Nobody is here with you
And all your friends were wrong
Nobody cares

"Juturna" (2005)




Holding Someone's Hair Back lyrics - Circa Survive

Don't say a word, don't be grateful if I ever made you laugh.
Let's make believe what's at stake here's more than just your reputation.
She's got the photos but no recollection.
He's got the motive but no transportation.
Purely courteous across my chest.
Are you cutting me out now, after crawling inside?

Turn away your head.
What do I deserve, what do I deserve instead?
It's a surprise you haven't caught on yet.
It's nothing personal, you're an embarrassment.
Don't cut me out.

We're offering nothing but the best accommodations.
Just tell us who you are, just tell us who you are.
We're offering nothing but the best accommodations.
Just tell us who you are, just tell us who you are.

Turn away your head.
What do I deserve, what do I deserve instead?
It's a surprise you haven't caught on yet.
It's nothing personal, you're an embarrassment.
Don't cut me out.

It's a surprise you haven't caught on yet.
It's nothing personal, you're an embarrassment.
Don't cut me out.

Wish Resign lyrics - Circa Survive

Alter and teach the ages.
Nothing you love lasts too long.
A marvelous calm, abandoned in the stages of
birth mother vs. the mid wife.
Who'll tell the children about her life?

That's why you never mentioned my name to them,
denying us all of the moment.
That's why you never mentioned my name to them,
denying us all of the moment.

What brought you back to this place?
I knew you'd never learn,
I knew you'd never...
Anything expected of you now,
I knew you'd never learn,
I knew you'd never...

I'd place my bet down now, you'll be the first one to sell me out

That's why you never mentioned my name to them,
denying us all of the moment.
That's why you never mentioned my name to them,
denying us all of the moment.

What brought you back to this place?
I knew you'd never learn,
I knew you'd never...
What brought you back to this place?
I knew you'd never learn, it's obvious.
What brought you back to this place?
What brought you back to this place?

The Glorious Nosebleed lyrics - Circa Survive

Forced, we forced feeding you lines, feeding you.
Look how high I'm jumping from, you'll never make it.

I know what it feels like
giving into something you don't understand

Forced, we forced feeding you lines, feeding you.
Look how high I'm jumping from, you'll never make it.

Walk into the light,
giving into something you don't understand.
This sort of thing gets you out of mind right before...
This sort of thing gets you out of mind right before impact.

Calcium waste, litter and falling like icicles.
Calcium waste, litter and falling like icicles.
Guess who's next?
You're just as guilty as them.

Forced, we forced feeding you lines, feeding you.
Look how high I'm jumping from, you'll never make it.
This sort of thing gets you out of mind right before...
This sort of thing gets you out of mind right before impact.

In Fear And Faith lyrics - Circa Survive

Can we last through the winter?
The water's starting to freeze.
The only one who remembers
Taking the wrong step, falling in front of me.
This body's already aging.
These nights are all ready long.
And if I last through the winter,
I swear to you now, I won't call.

Congratulations, go home now.

Will we last through the winter?
Will we make it to see?
I never wanted a partner and I never loved you,
Now you are free to leave.
This heart is already frozen,
I can't remember the fall.
And if I last through the winter,
I swear to you now, I won't call.

Congratulations, go home now.

It's too late, it's too late, they won't let go.
Follow five footsteps through that open door, open door.
It's too late, it's too late, they won't let go.
Follow five footsteps through that open door, open door.

It must be buried under the heart
That makes this pace consistent.
You'll find it torn, that gate's been opened?
I've been wondering if you've been real with us.

It's too late
It's too late, it's too late, they won't let go.
Follow five footsteps through that open door, open door.
It's too late, it's too late, they won't let go.
Follow five footsteps through that open door, open door.

It's start, stop and go you've been dying for, you've been dying for.

Stop The Fucking Car lyrics - Circa Survive

Don't be alarmed, I feel we're falling back to ground.
Don't be afraid, I hear in every word they say,
That even if you don't look back, be sure and find out who was there,
And what they wore, and ten more reasons.
Don't be alarmed, I feel we're falling back to ground

Your face is light and cocaine white.
Your face is light and cocaine white.

Misleading at most, I'm supposed to imposter a new you (imposter a new you).
And even if you're woken up, make contact both at once.
We've made mistakes like this.
And I'm just learning.
And I'm just learning.
Your face is white in spinning lights.

Spinning lights, don't be scared.
You have given so much more
Spinning lights, take me there.
He has risen, pull me under.

Don't stop talking to me, I haven't been listening.
Don't stop talking to me, I haven't been listening.
This operation's been abandoned once again.
This operation's been abandoned once again.

Cut me gently, cut me out of mind.
Cut me gently, cut me out...
Cut me gently, cut me out of mind.
Cut me gently, cut me out of mind.

Spinning lights, don't be scared.
You have given so much more
Spinning lights, take me there.
He has risen, pull me under.

Don't stop talking to me, I haven't been listening.
Don't stop talking to me, I haven't been listening.
This operation's been abandoned once again.
This operation's been abandoned once again.

Cut me gently, cut me out...
Cut me gently, cut me out of mind.

We're All Thieves lyrics - Circa Survive

Lost in a haunting thought, spinning me around once more.
I wake just to feel the way as the daylights comes around,
I turn with my eyes are on the backdoor.

Your face is light and cocaine white.
One message beating through.

Smoke's filled the air and I'm struggling to breathe.
Let them be calm, so I finally can sleep.
Everything you intended to say,
Don't go back on your words.
You always said you'd tell me first.

Verse after endless verse, I can't escape the echoed words.
I long to find a cure for the feeling I find in these chords.
I smile as it burns.

Your face is light and cocaine white.
One message beating through.

I've been erased.
I've been erased from the picture.
Excuse, oh no, anything goes.
Excuses, you know it doesn't work.
Excuse, oh no, anything goes.
Excuses don't work.
Excuse me, this will calls out desperate end.
Excuse me, this will calls out desperate:

Smoke's filled the air and I'm struggling to breathe.
Let them be calm, so I finally can sleep.
Everything you intended to say,
Don't go back on your words.
You always said you'd tell me first.
Smoke's filled the air and m struggling to breathe.
Let them be calm, so I finally can sleep.

Oh, Hello lyrics - Circa Survive

Didn't I know you, mystery man?
Strange as all new thoughts on impotence.

All I want are windows
It wouldn't be the first time.

Didn't I, didn't I know you?
Didn't I, didn't I know you, didn't I know you?
All along, all we've been given is the ugliest tidings.
All along, we've been a mess.
Now quick dilation is the only chance we have left.

A stranger's just someone that you've forgotten.
How will we know if we've met before or done this dance,
Mystery man?

Didn't I, didn't I know you?
Didn't I, didn't I know you, didn't I know you?
All along, all we've been given is the ugliest tidings.
All along, we've been a mess.
Now quick dilation is the only chance we have left.

Always Getting What You Want lyrics - Circa Survive

Borders that we say are policing you back to their arms.
Tension to take, pills that'll make you feel higher inside.

Do you often look back on us, feeling confidently?
Would it make any difference if I wasn't late,
Or I'd been too angry to show?

The sovereign statement's wrong.
It's a bylaw and a valiant one
To honor hopeful thoughts.
It's the talent, not the promo shots

Story has shown you all felt alone.
Story has shown you all felt alone.
Even if... if the sound it makes when it's tightening,
Sweet winding up of a mandolin hurts your fingers

And you try to hold on but it's not quite working.
This reminds me of the sound you make when we disagree.

Story has shown you all felt alone.
Story has shown you all felt alone.
Even if you've been so close you're not alone anymore,
Still we grow.
Still we grow.
Even if it reminds the sounds you always used to make.
