I Felt Free lyrics - Circa Survive

Nothing new to say
Nothing to report 'cause the future happened yesterday

If I could tell the truth
I could make you stay
But forever seems so far away

I fell apart in your arms
For the last time
And I felt free to do what I want
Because of the things you told me,
Because of the things you told me, you told me
I felt free

You could be the end of me
Too many shades of gray
It's just another pointless game that we play

I couldn't tell the truth
I'll never make you stay
Because tomorrow always happens yesterday

I fell apart in your arms
For the last time
And I felt free to do what I want
Because of the things you told me
Because of the things you told me, you told me
I felt free

I felt free

I will learn to live again for now I'm breaking
All the things I couldn't mend without escaping
I will learn to love again
I will learn to love
I will learn

Imaginary Enemy lyrics - Circa Survive

You're so careless, careless
How did you get so ungrateful?
You treat me like I'm a disease,
Oh, and it's been killing me
Chances are, you never even cared at all
I'm sure that you had your reasons
But I'll never get to hear the truth
Disguised in all your alibis
It's a tradition, practiced,
every time you say goodbye

I've tried so hard
to be what you needed
Your imaginary enemy
I've tried for so long
to make you believe it
That I am not the enemy

Slipshod cavalier,
I can't stand to see those things that
You have taken for granted
Thrown away everything you've been handed
Too much all at once that's how you got so ungrateful
All you saw was the burden
Standing beside all your blessed truths
Disguised in all your alibis
It's a tradition, practiced,
every time you say goodbye

I've tried so hard
to be what you needed
Your imaginary enemy
I've tried for so long
to make you believe it
That I am not the enemy
Imaginary enemy

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Alright, yeah

I've tried so hard
to be what you needed
Your imaginary enemy
I've tried for so long
to make you believe it
That I am not the enemy
Imaginary enemy

Through The Desert Alone lyrics - Circa Survive

Sadly, I walk around this place on the shells of eggs
My shoulders are cold
I put it off for so long, I put it off
And know I've got to live with what I made
Forever

What was stolen from us
Now is forever lost
Just because we'll never pay the ransom
What was taken from me
I will never regain just because
We'll never pay the ransom

I'll become like the desert wind
And I'll drink all the gin
Shriveled up under desert lights
Eaten up in the night
I can't keep this up much longer without
Needing more from you
I need more

Wasted with the rhythm
Angry at the melody
How did you stay so sweet?
Cause you were my ally once
You were my confidante
I need somebody close
To be close to
Forever

What was stolen from us
Now is forever lost
Just because we'll never pay the ransom
What was taken from me
I will never regain
Just because we'll never pay the ransom
Just because we'll never pay the ransom

Frozen Creek lyrics - Circa Survive

Upon a pebble driveway
There sits a house
And it's the loneliest place
I haven't spent much time there,
It wasn't allowed,
It just didn't feel right

'Cause it's all built upon a burial ground,
It just doesn't feel right,
It just doesn't feel right

On top the frozen creek,
I would love to take you there
I swear it flows through me
On top the frozen creek

If I open both of my eyes,
I still see an empty space, so empty
But if I keep them closed
Then there's still a chance that something is out there

'Cause it's all built upon a burial ground,
It just doesn't feel right
It just doesn't feel right

On top the frozen creek,
I would love to take you there
I swear it flows through me
On top the frozen creek

I made a promise to you long ago
I'd do the best that I can
I'd try and keep it
I made a promise to you long ago
That I'd do anything to keep this home

On top the frozen creek,
I would love to take you there
I swear it flows through me
On top of the frozen creek

I would love to take you there

Fever Dreams lyrics - Circa Sirvive

Sinking into my awareness
Realizing what's been done
I've taken a life and mine for granted
Neither planned or in passion
Riddled with guilt and crazy panic
My body tells my mind to run
Into the forest towards the mother
Though I've destroyed her favorite son

All the things I should have done,
All the things I should have done

Execution style in the courtyard
Where everyone awake can witness
The cowardly shot into the temple
All because I lost my temper
Burn the evidence, flee the scene
Always keep those fingers clean
Devil eyes stare into mine
They say there is no place I can hide

Now I must compare the consequence
End my life or just confess
I won't last a minute in confinement
Either way I'm going to hell

All the things I should've done
Oh, oh, oh
All the things I should have done
Oh, oh, oh
Either way I'm going to hell
Either way I'm going to hell

All my life
Passing
Before my eyes
All the time
I was awake

You were alive and just arriving
I couldn't see your eyes
All that is love is ever lasting
I didn't realize

I was awake

Spirit Of The Stairwell lyrics - Circa Survive

Scratched out a note I wrote for you
To wake and read
To know that I was there once
I knew that there was nothing that I could write to assure you
Of my return
But all the paper said when I was done is
'do you still want me?'
Because I'd be terrified if I had to leave this place today
We haven't saved the baby

As I said
My darling
Spring is constantly calling me
And there's no place that I'd rather be

I won't be angry
If you have to leave,
But I won't be waiting
For that day
So don't say you're sorry because
I won't believe you

Didn't see a sticker on the door when we walked in
But I know it's going to cost us
The same amount of love it takes to get you through
But it never moves you
I'd be terrified if I had to leave this place today
It's where I threw my love away
Then we saw a different side of "Annie" nobody saw
She tried to kill the baby

And the earth and its skin will open up
And birth out a perfect mirror
That makes all our reflections clear

I won't be angry
If you have to leave,
But I won't be waiting
For that day
So don't say you're sorry because
I won't believe you

The Longest Mile lyrics - Circa Survive

You'll retire with some
Well deserved space that you needed years ago
It's not the same as if you pushed it away
Unescorted through the longest mile
Now that it's over

I have some regrets
But I can just forget them

I must admit now going down within this ship
I couldn't have a better crew to travel with
If I make it in one piece back to land
I will never sail again
Never

Peace and quiet
Start to interrupt,
Your life is not the same as you had hoped
Living up to all the things that you played down
If you don't get a hold of it, I wont be around
Now that it's over

I've made mistakes
It's all I have to learn from

I must admit now going down within this ship
I couldn't have a better crew to travel with
If I make it in one piece back to land
I will never sail again,
Never

Now that it's over

I can't help
But think that
We're coming to the end
If that is
The case then
I know we can't pretend
To never make a sound again
Never make a sound

Dyed In The Wool lyrics - Circa Survive

It's so sad for us
When we find ourselves
Giving away
And it's a shame for us
When we find ourselves
Going to waste
So throw away the love that we made.

(I know I know)
And nothing's going to change that hopeless feeling
I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't

There's no reason to be here
We should pack up and leave
I have never felt that way before totally alone
There's no reason to leave
I have never seen you act that way before
Totally exposed.
As you throw away the love that we made

(I know I know)
And nothing's going to change that hopeless feeling
I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't

The longer it takes the more it goes to waste
I want to believe you but I can't feel a thing
The more that you get the less you are

And nothing's going to change that helpless feeling
I get when you say you'll understand and I know you can't

"On Letting Go" (2007)

Living Together lyrics - Circa Survive

It starts out like a season in reverse
A way to set your mind above and over words
Attached means identity
Erases things so how can we record?

Distress call code-word is I wanna live
He makes it up as it goes, it goes away
To places he can only hide in other peoples minds
He makes it up as it goes
It goes away

Your rational mind's insane
Taste the sound you make
When the light from the sun
It's the story that never gets sold
When the light from the sun, it is your mother

Attached means identity
Erases things so why should we...

Distress call code-word is I wanna live
He makes it up as it goes, it goes away
To places he can only hide in other peoples minds
Uh, he makes it up as it goes

With an effortless smile you pervade to be
And in-between aisles
They would say you stare to see
With an effortless smile you pervade to be
Always in-between aisles
Optimistic daring me
would you trade your soul for gold?
Would you trade your soul?
Would you trade...

In The Morning And Amazing... lyrics - Circa Survive

Infinite silence
flowing right in with the dawn
This is wrong, this is wrong
And I cannot sleep without the radio on

And how could anyone
You are in my dreams
Half human, half machine
You with someone else that I have felt and seen
I cannot rest, or my consciousness contest
Looking right through the lens
From winter brings the spring again

Infinite silence
flowing right in with the dawn
This is wrong, this is wrong
And I cannot sleep without the radio on

And we fall asleep again with ties to mend
So please let the cleaning begin with evolution

Hold my breath 'til communication is
Only just a test
Hold my breath 'til communication is
Only just a test
Hold my breath 'til communication is
Only just a test

You are in my dreams
Half human, half machine
Looking right through the lens
From winter brings the spring again

Infinite silence
flowing right in with the dawn
This is wrong, this is wrong
And I cannot sleep without the radio on

Infinite silence
flowing right in with the dawn
This is wrong, this is wrong
And I cannot sleep without the radio

The Greatest Lie lyrics - Circa Survive

This building smelled so familiar
Well I had thought the sense was lost
And in a day dream I imagined my house
Where all my father's sense of strength was lost

It's all we have
It's all we have
So find me a place to begin

If I could get this feeling to end
Trembling idle hands holding me there
We laugh in the face of love
Cause nobody's really there
Nobody's real

Desire, I would try it either way
We believe in something invisible
The sense of smell that you use all your life
Well now you know your father lied

It's all we have
So find me a place to begin

If I could get this feeling to end
With trembling idle hands holding me there
We laugh in the face of love
Cause nobody's really there
Nobody's real

And I could never find my way without
But you're already there
And we, we've come a long long way without
Without maps in our hands

It's all we have
So find me a place to begin

If I could get this feeling to end
Trembling idle hands holding me there
We laugh in the face of love
Cause nobody's really there
Nobody's real

The Difference Between Medicine And Poison Is In The Dose lyrics - Circa Survive

Move one inch at a time.
Don't make shit rhyme.
Would it be easy to repeat the first line?
My mind's not a well;
It won't run dry.
Just keep drinking water and you'll be alright.
This is paralysis with no time at all to let go.

Well don't call me by my full name,
And all this is temporary.
It feels much better to know that you won't feel a thing.
Well don't talk about it;
Write it down but don't ask for help.
I can't be honest with even myself.
Did you ever wish you were somebody else?

Accomplishments are transient.
They pulled me in unremittingly.
Just lasting this long,
I feel relieved to let repetition save me.

Well don't call me by my full name,
And all this is temporary.
It feels much better to know that you won't feel a thing.
Well don't talk about it;
Write it down but don't ask for help.
I can't be honest with even myself.
Did you ever wish you were somebody else?

Move one inch at a time.
You'll be just fine.
Move one inch at a time.
You'll find...
They pulled me in but accomplishments are transient.
They pulled me in but accomplishments are transient.

Well don't call me by my full name,
And all this is temporary.
It feels much better to know that you won't feel a thing.
Well don't talk about it;
Write it down but don't ask for help.
I can't be honest with even myself.
Did you ever wish you were...
Did you ever wish you were...
Did you ever wish you were somebody else?

Mandala lyrics - Circa Survive

Dance with me for I'll be leaving soon.
Afterbirth on the keypads overwhelm
"Did he who make the lamb make thee?"
Help me find its origin.

In a cartoon house, in a cartoon car.
There are cities buried underneath our cities
"Let the people be free...let the people be free"
It's all around us.

Dance with me for I'll be leaving soon
Afterbirth on the keypads overwhelm
"Did he who make the lamb make thee?"
Help me find its origin.

In a cartoon house, in a cartoon car.
There are cities buried underneath our cities
"Let the people be free...let the people be free"
It's all around us, it's all around...
"Let the people be free...let the people see"

We so obviously had another hand and oh so separated
How do I act like I've made this when I... when I...
When I so obviously had another hand.

Dance with me for I'll be leaving soon
Afterbirth on the keypads overwhelm
"Did he who make the lamb make thee?"
What happens when we reach for each other?

Travel Hymn lyrics - Circa Survive

It came across like you were mad
Holding in your breath with everything you had
Until your face began to turn red
"This is why I turn and walk away from everything"
I need to feel it closer now.
"This is why I turn and walk away from everything"
I never thought it'd be like this

Between the seal a church is revealed.
And I would rather be...

Lonely along the way
Something set us off into the wrong direction
but within this particular space,
Time goes to waste.
Time goes to waste...
Time goes to waste...
Time goes...

It came across like you were mad,
Holding in your breath with everything you had...
Until your face began to turn red.

Between the seal a church is revealed
And I would rather be...

Lonely along the way
Something set us off into the wrong direction
but within this particular space...

Time starts to slow down
and all of these patterns never change.
So slow down,
'cause nobody looks at life the same.
And no one was like this 'til you came along
and reset our dials all wrong.

Lonely along the way
Something set us off into the wrong direction
but within this particular space,
Time goes to waste.

Lonely along the way
Something set us off into the wrong direction
but within this particular space,
Time goes to waste.
