If I gave you pretty enough words.
Could you pain a picture of us that works.
An emphasis on function rather than design.
Aren't you tired cause I will carry you, on a broken back 
And blown out knees, I have been where you are for a while 
Aren't you tired of being weak?
Such rage that you could scream. the stars right out of the sky 
And destroy the prettiest starry night. every evening that I die.
I am exhumed just a little less human and a lot more bitter and cold. 
I am exhumed just a little less human and a lot more bitter and cold.
I am exhumed just a little less human and a lot more bitter and cold.
I am exhumed just a little less human
So much more bitter and cold
After all these images of pain, have cut right through you,
I will kiss every scar, and weep you are not alone
Then I'll show you that place in my chest where my heart still tries to beat. 
Aren't you tired of being weak?
Such rage that you could scream. the stars right out of the sky 
And destroy the prettiest starry night. every evening that I die 
Live love burn die

Atreyu

Atreyu is an American metalcore band from Orange County, California, formed in 1998. The band consists of vocalist/lyricist Alex Varkatzas, guitarists Dan Jacobs and Travis Miguel, bassist Marc McKnight and drummer/vocalist Brandon Saller. Originally named Retribution, they changed their name to "Atreyu" (after the character of the same name from the fantasy book/movie The Neverending Story), when they found out that another band from Hemet, California had already been using Retribution. They have released five studio albums: Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses, The Curse, A Death-Grip on Yesterday, Lead Sails Paper Anchor, and Congregation of the Damned. more »
