The Acolyte Lyrics - Confessions - Alesana

[Verse 1] 

Dead and lost with tired faces 

Antiquated passion laid to rest 

Wake up! 

No smiles for the memories we have 

Rotting with the corpses of our past 

Please wake up! 

Here we stand left in the dark! Kick back! 

Here we are screaming for help! Strike back! 

Do you think that we have a fighting chance? 

Shall we dance on the wings of hope 

And together fly through the sky? 

We are not living for this! 

I will take back what is ours! 

[Pre-Chorus] 

Stand up coward! 

Dear God, scream it like you mean it! 

No time to rest for sleep beckons the weak 

[Chorus] 

Darling, please understand and listen, this is insane 

This can't be it, I don't think I am ready for goodbyes 

If you leave, if we try to finish what we began 

I don't think I can bring you back 

So kiss me before you go and whisper three sweet words 

[Verse 2] 

There must be something that I missed, pieces drift away 

I wish I could think outside of the box now, solve the riddle 

No stone will be left unturned 

With God as my witness I will find a way 

To slow, to beat the wheels of time 

I wake up beside you and we smile, oh foolishness 

[Pre-Chorus] 

[Chorus] 

[Hook] 

Shatter the hourglass 

Dissect the universe 

Tear through reality 

Rearrange the stars above 

[Bridge] 

Open your eyes 

And gaze the skies above a world that we have made 

Blood, sweat, and tears, ions and years 

We're building a utopia (a utopia) a utopia (a utopia) 

Yet I still remain in this cursed place 

So far from my dreams 

This must be hell! I will escape! 

Burn it to the ground 

Tear it brick from brick 

Till there's nothing left but a hole in the sky 

[Chorus] 

[Hook]
