Story Of The Year

The stars will cry
The blackest tears tonight
And this is the moment that I live for
I can smell the ocean air
And here I am
Pouring my heart onto these rooftops
Just a ghost to the world
That's exactly
Exactly what I need

[Chorus]
From up here the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day

For a second I wish the tide
Would swallow every inch of this city
As you gasp for air tonight
I'd scream this song right in your face
If you were here
I swear I won't miss a beat
Cause I never
Never have before

[Chorus: x3]

Our dying day
Of our dying!

We are alive for a moment
One second in the great abyss of time
All the bleedin', all the hate
Just one blink of an eye
All the conflicts, it visits dire pain on human life
Are we missing what it is to be alive?

One by one the pieces fall
Until our pride defeats us all
We learn to live without it

[Chorus]
Wake up!
To the sound of this time bomb
Wake up!
To it's deafening song
Wake up!
Cause you don't what you've got until it's gone
Until it's gone

Our innocence is a virtue
But our arrogance will only leave us blind
Unattended without anyone to save our idle lives
Will we find out that everything we know exists inside of a fraction
Of a fraction

One by one the pieces fall again

[Chorus: x2]

One by one the pieces fall
Until our pride defeats us all
Yeah!

One by one the pieces fall (one by one the pieces fall)
Until our pride defeats us all
Defeats us all!
Yeah!

Oh!

[Chorus: x2]

It's gone away
Yeah

Yeah do you need this as bad as I do? (Until the day I die)
Yeah do you need this as bad as I do, as I do? (Until the day I die)

Now I can't taste
The war that I've been fighting
Start to fall
But I'm still standing here
Behind the wall of dying flame

I can't forget

The fight is growing stronger
Face to face
With hopes of longer days
To feel something we should save

I stand alone I'm on my own
My hands will bleed
I'm holding on to what is gone
What's left of me?

I'm falling down

But I should find my strength in this
A light
The push to reconnect my heart
For what it's meant to give

I stand alone
I'm on my own
My hands will bleed
I'm holding on
To what is gone
What's left of me?

Walk
Fall
Stand again so I can
Walk
Fall
Stand again so I can
Walk
Fall
Stand again so I can

Fall

I stand alone
I'm on my own
My hands will bleed
I'm holding on
To what is gone
What's left of me?

Yeah, yeah
Walking example of you
Wait for the silence
Talking backwards to you
It meant nothing to me
Watching the world fall on you
I'm keeping my eyes closed
Now I can see what this means to you
It meant nothing to me

This wasted so many nights and again
I've wasted so much time on a friend
Too young, too proud to understand
So this is the end

Perfect timing for you
You'll run 'til your legs break
So here's my reminder of you
It meant nothing to me

This wasted so many nights and again
I've wasted so much time on a friend
Too young, too proud to understand
So this is the end, go!

We should've seen this coming
We should've seen this
Yeah! Yeah!

This wasted so many nights and again
I've wasted so much time on a friend
Too young, too proud to understand
So this is the end

This wasted so many nights and again
I've wasted so much time on a friend
Too young, too proud to understand
So this is the end

Yeah! This is the end!

Does the shadow live forever?
Will this graveyard be the dance floor
For these corpses? Will they be the first to fall
And dance the night away?

Why do we do this to ourselves?
We're buying every word they sell

Starving loved ones, carry our guns
Take a look at what we've become
Hungry nations standing in the
Ashes of our enemies remains

Why do we do this to ourselves?
We're buying every word they sell
Why do we do this to ourselves?
We're buying every word that they sell
They sell

So we dance the night away
So we dance the night away
So we dance the night away
So we dance the night away
The night away

Why do we do this to ourselves?
We're buying every word they sell
Why do we do this to ourselves?
We're buying every word that they sell

Every word they sell
Every word they sell
Every word they sell

The bridges are crumpled,
The water soaks into rocks,
That fell at the bottom of the road. (At the end the town)
The town that we lived in.
The memories shakin apart from the weeds that grow.
Over the sidewalks,
Running away from the streets we knew,
Sidewalks,
Like the time we thought was made for you.
Or
Out on the front porch,
watching the cars as they go by,
Eighteen blue, twenty one grey,
Looking ahead for the first time that we could drive,
Out on our own,
To speed away
From the sidewalks,
Running away from the streets we knew,
Sidewalks,
Like the time we thought was made for you.
Or
All of days that past us by,
All of the sun is gone...
Away
Sidewalks,
Running away from the streets we knew,
Sidewalks,
Running away from the streets we knew,
Sidewalks,
Like the time we thought was made for you.
(Sidewalks)
The bridges are crumpled,
(Sidewalks)
The water soaks into rocks,
That fell at the bottom of the road

I still recall every summer night
Like it was yesterday
The time would never end
And my friends were family
Nothing mattered more
Than the loyalty we had
Now I'm a world away from everything we shared

I had something better
Waiting ahead
I try to take control of my heart
I had something better
But I'll tear it down and I'll tape it up
By my own design I fall

Bring back the days
Three story parking lot
The air is never dry
As the city falls asleep, days bleed into the night

The tables set the stage
For a life of memories
But I'm a world away from everything

I had something better
Waiting ahead
I try to take control of my heart
I had something better
But I'll tear it down and I'll tape it up
By my own design I fall
Apart as time passes by
I fall apart but the memories never die

And I still recall every summer night
It seems like yesterday but I'm still a world away

I had something better
Waiting ahead
I try to take control of my heart
I had something better
But I'll tear it down and I'll tape it up
By my own design I fall

It's not what you have said, its what you have done
To let this come between us
Your right, without a fight,
This might be worth it to you and in the process gotten to me

I think that nothing can fly
With this broken wing
There's so much to hold on to now

Nothing can fly, with this broken wing
So here's a gift, in this feather

You've gone to far
Left standing alone
Lets sort this out together
Your right, without a fight,
This might be worth it to you and in the process gotten to me

I think that nothing can fly
With this broken wing
There's so much to hold on to now

Nothing can fly, with this broken wing
So here's a gift, in this feather

From this house of our friendship shut the door
Light the match, throw behind you and walk away

These ashes
These ashes
These ashes

I think that nothing can fly
With this broken wing
There's so much to hold on to now

Nothing can fly, with this broken wing
So here's a gift, in this feather

Nothing can fly, with this broken wing
So here's a gift, in this feather

So our open wounds will bleed
Until our veins run dry
Now we have to take this thorn
And tear it from our side
Agitated at the fault line
Still agreed to disagree
Your connected to the heart
But tonight we'll set you free

So swallow the knife
Carve the way for your pride
Now our hands are tied
The problems lie within
So we pray for night
To start over again

Even now as i write this down
All pretensions disappear
Now our impulses will bite
At the ankles of our fear

So swallow the knife
Carve the way for your pride
Now our hands are tied
The problems lie within
So we pray for night
To start over again

Now our hands are tied
The problems lie within
So we pray for night
To start over again

Words are spoken
Words are broken down

So lets make this night be our best mistake
So lets take the time to wipe the blood away
Now our hands are tied
And our world is caving in

Now our hands are tied
The problems lie within
So we pray for night
To start over again

Now our hands are tied
And the problems lie within
Words are spoken
Words are broken
Broken Down

So here i go
I'll dive right in
Break through the waves
Straight to the ocean floor

And although my hands are shaking
I lie perfectly still
'Cause I'm determined to let myself sink down

And I know I'm buried too far down
To feel the warmth from the sun again

I could wave my arms and swim away
But never reach the shore
But for now I will lay face first in the sand
With the wreckage from ships that lost their way

And I know I'm buried too far down
To feel the warmth from the sun again

And I know I'm buried too far down
To feel the warmth from the sun again

And although my hands are shaking
I lie perfectly still
'Cause I'm determined to let myself sink down

And I know I'm buried too far down
To feel the warmth from the sun again

We both take the hardest punches
And collect black eyes just to prove it
Still we pass by just like strangers
And we speak just like the closest enemies


Woah - in the shadows of our life
We can fall into the night unscarred
Woah - in the shadows of our life
We can never let it go this far


Somehow my words are rendered useless
Still I pull my lip down to my chest
Just to show you how my jaw is
Tired from waiting to say the things that you should hear


Woah - in the shadows of our life
We can fall into the night unscarred
Woah - in the shadows of our life
We can never let it go this far


After all we're still the same
These empty promises seem to never change
There's a smile on my face and it's 2:55 AM
And this cramp in my wrist puts me
Back to sleep till it all comes around again


With the closeness
With the closeness
With the closeness
With the closeness


WOAH - in the shadows of our life
We can fall into the night unscarred
Woah - in the shadows of our life

The bridges all crumbled
The water soaks into rocks
That fell at the bottom of the road
(At the end of town)
The town that we lived in
The memories shaken apart
From the weeds that grow

Over the sidewalks
Running away from the streets we knew
Sidewalks
Like the time we thought was made for you, oh

Out on the front porch
Watching the cars as they go by
(Eighteen blue, twenty-one gray)
Looking ahead
For the first time that we could drive
Out on our own
To speed away

From the sidewalks
Running away from the streets we knew
Sidewalks
Like the time we thought was made for you, oh

All of the days have passed us by
And all of the sun is gone away

Sidewalks
Running away from
The streets we knew

Sidewalks
Running away from the streets we knew
Sidewalks
Like the time we thought was made for you
(Sidewalks) [3x]
The bridges all crumbled
The water soaks into rocks
That fell at the bottom of the road

Until the day I die

내가 죽는 그 날까지

I'll spill my heart for you (for you)

나는 너를 위해 내 마음을 쏟을거야

Until the day I die

내가 죽는 그 날까지

I'll spill my heart for you

나는 너에게 내 마음을 쏟을거야



As years go by

시간이 지나감과 함께

I race the clock with you

나는 너와 함께 시간과 경주를 하지

But if you died right now

하지만 만약 네가 지금 죽는다면

You know that I'd die to

나도 같이 죽을거라는걸 알잖아

I'd die too

나도 죽을거야

You remind me of the times

When I knew who I was

(When I knew who I was)

넌 내가 나 자신을 알고 있을 때를

떠오르게 해줘

But still the second hand will catch us

하지만 그래도 초침은 역시 우리를 따라잡겠지

Like it always does.

언제나 그러는 것처럼.



We'll make the same mistakes

우리는 똑같은 실수를 하게 될 테고

I'll take the fall for you

내가 너 대신 무너질게

I hope you need this now

지금 네가 이걸 필요로 하길 바라

Cuz I know I still do.

난 여전히 그렇다는걸 알기 때문에.



Until the day I die (Until the day I die)

내가 죽는 그 날까지

I'll spill my heart for you

난 내 마음을 너에게 쏟을거야

Until the day I die(Until the day I die)

내가 죽는 그 날까지

I'll spill my heart for you

난 너를 위해 내 마음을 쏟겠어



Should I bite my tongue Until blood soaks my shirt?

내 셔츠가 피로 흥건해질 때까지 혀를 깨물어야 할까?

We'll never fall apart

우리는 절대 헤어지지 않을거야

So tell me why this hurts so much

그런데 왜 이렇게 아픈건지 말해줘

My hands are at your throat

내 손은 니 목에 가 있고

And I think I hate you

난 네가 싫은거 같아

But still We'll say, "remember when"

하지만 그래도 우린 그 때를 기억하라고 말하겠지

Just like we always do, just like we always do

우리가 언제나 그러는 것처럼



Until the day I die (until the day I die)

내가 죽는 그 날까지

I'll spill my heart for you

난 너를 위해 내 마음을 쏟을게

Until the day I die(Until the day I die)

내가 죽을 때까지

I'll spill my heart for you

너에게 내 마음을 쏟을거야

Yeah I'd spill my heart!!!!

그래, 내 마음을 쏟을게!!!

Yeah I'd spill my heart, for you!!!

그래, 널 위해 내 마음을 쏟겠다고!!!



My hands are at your throat

내 손은 네 목에 가 있고

And I think I hate you

난 네가 싫은 것 같아

We made the same mistakes

우린 똑같은 실수를 저질렀지

mistakes like friends do

친구들이 범하는 것과 가은 실수를



My hands are at your throat

내 손은 네 목에 가 있고

And I think I hate you

난 네가 싫은 것 같아

We made the same mistakes.

우린 똑같은 실수를 해버렸어



Until the day I die

내가 죽는 그 날까지

I'll spill my heart for you, for you

나는 널 위해 내 마음을 쏟을거야

Until the day I die (Until the day I die)

내가 죽는 그 날까지

I'll spill my heart for you, for you

난 내 마음을 너에게 쏟을거야

Until the day I die(Until the day I die)

내가 죽는 그 날까지

The night will come
And rip away,
Her wings of innocence through every word we say
Maybe it's time,
To spit out the core of our rotting union
Hopefully before it chokes
Us to our senses.

Guess it's too bad,
That everything we have
Is taken away.

Swim in the smoke
The hero will drown
Intoxicating beauty tears everything down
But still our hands are
Bound at the wrist
This romantic tragedy is suffocating from your fist,
In a sea of fire.

Guess its to bad,
That everything we have
Is taken away.

Hero, hero, this word you'll never know

Guess it's to bad
That everything we have
Is taken away.
Away, away, away. They're taking it away

I've swallowed every hook
Fallen for their disguise
Lived by the book
Felt the blade of the knife
As it pressed against my neck

We're taught to imitate
Segregate and divide
Do what we're told
Rise and fall with the time
If we refuse to play the part
Then they will hear us screamin'

Wake up the voiceless
Wake up the revolution
Whoa, we are alive tonight

Wake up the voiceless
Wake up the revolution
Whoa, we are alive tonight

They advertise your life
Through a blanket of lies
Expand the truth
So their profits will rise
Ignore the sacrifice

Wires cast in stones
At the gods that create
We're amplified
To provide what they take
If we refuse to play the role
Then they will hear us screamin'

Wake up the voiceless
Wake up the revolution
Whoa, we are alive tonight

Wake up the voiceless
Wake up the revolution
Whoa, we are alive tonight

Go

There's a reason for defiance
We can't ignore
With the promise of a new day
This is a war

The blood will spill
The voices will be heard
And tonight we are alive

I swallowed every hook
Falling for their disguise
Lived by the book
Felt the blade of the knife
But I refuse to play the role
And they will hear me screamin'

Wake up the voiceless
Wake up the revolution
Whoa, we are alive tonight

Wake up the voiceless
Wake up the revolution
Whoa, we are alive tonight

Wake up the voiceless
Wake up the revolution
Whoa, we are alive tonight

Wake up the voiceless
Wake up the revolution
Whoa, we are alive tonight
Whoa, we are alive tonight

We are alive tonight
We are alive tonight
We are alive tonight
We are alive tonight
