THE EMO DIARIES, Chapter 13 "Confessions Of A Broken Man" (DER-647) 01. Be Safe - Et Cetera i will take the steps to better myself tomorrow, or the next day. i will make the choice to take care of my health tomorrow, or the next day. maybe then i'll have a reason, or maybe then i'll have an out as i float through the grey. et cetera, et cetera, et cetera 02. Whitefox - Between The Ash And the Dawn (instrumental) 03. Viktoria4ever - Live For The Moment time is a thief it runs too fast. steals the moments we thought would last. a clock that laughs a silent scream. chasing shadows of a broken dream. but the night won’t wait it’s slipping through. the stars above are calling you. tomorrow won’t come back. i’m sorry it’s a fact. live for the moment make it last. hold on tight don’t let it pass. oh oh oh don’t let it pass. footsteps fade on an empty street. echoes dance where our hearts used to meet. a spark a flame a fleeting kiss. this is the now don’t let it miss. the moonlight whispers take the chance. the world spins on in a fleeting dance. tomorrow won’t come back. i’m sorry it’s a fact. live for the moment make it last. hold on tight don’t let it pass. oh oh oh don’t let it pass 04. Anthony of Archer St. - Beating in the Chest wrapped you up in my coat. so cold i could feel my chest. exploding into a rearranged mess. my heart stopped, i was almost possessed. maybe it’s something divine. that keeps speaking to me. through this cheap red wine. waiting to find something real. i took the red eye flight over the ocean. just to see if i could find the other side. and i would fight the demons in hell. if it meant five more minutes. under this spell with you. under this spell with you. caught a glimpse of you. in the cool autumn breeze. you let me see your smile. i was covered in leaves. we watched it fall and let go. it fell on us and we laid low. i could not tell if this was real. i could not tell if this was a dream. i took the red eye flight over the ocean. just to see if i could find the other side. and i would fight the demons in hell. if it meant five more minutes. under this spell with you. under this spell with you 05. Miles Of Hope - Echoes the ash falls slow, as the night begins to fade, we’re drowning in the silence, of all the words we never say. so let’s burn it all, watch the fire take control. we’re stuck in here, we’re lost again, but i’d rather burn than just pretend. we never learned to let it go. we’re fading like echoes, screaming in the dark, you said we'd make it through, but we’re falling apart. we’re fading like echoes, lost in the sound, you promised me we'd find a way, but honestly, we’re lost today. fire’s burning out, but the smoke still fills my chest, i’m choking on the words, that we never could express. so let’s burn it all, we never learned to let it go. we’re falling fast, we’re sinking slow, but that’s the only world we know. and we’re barely holding on. just to feel like we belong. every breath is counting down. we're running circles in this town. i woke up gasping, choking on the smoke of words you never said. my lungs are filled with the embers of a house that used to be home. i reach for the light switch, but all i find is the cold outline of your absence. you used to hold my hand like it was a lifeline, now it feels like a leash. we’re drowning in echoes, the past pulls us under, fading in whispers, torn asunder. we’re caught in the current, but we can't swim free. you promised me we'd find a way, but honestly, we’re lost today 06. Resignation - 20 to 25 20 years since we’ve seen one another. 20 or more since i’d seen your brother. i was listening to the lemonheads the other day. do you think he remembers “it’s a shame about ray.” the colors faded…did they go away? sunlight breaking really shows our age. the same lines are written across each of our faces-the ones time never erases. 20 years since we’ve seen one another. 20 or more since i’ve seen your brother. i was listening to the lemonheads the other day. do you think he remembers “it’s a shame about ray.” in 25 years do you feel any wiser? 25 years we’ve been in these disguises we thought we’d be wearing all the way to the end but we find ourselves right back where we began. when we walked on water, did we walk too far? it’s how we found the pain hidden inside those scars. the same lines are written across each of our faces-the ones time never erases. 25 years, another 25 more. did you ever find what you were looking for? 07. Sadstory on Sunday - Withered / Bloom (instrumental) 08. Everything In Waves - Favorite stuck in it again i'm up late in case you call. crying on the phone at 3 am. you disappear. for days and days on end. 'till out of the blue you call again. you're gone but i cannot let go. the space you leave is all i know. for a moment. you were my favorite. stuck in it again. you came crawling right back in. spinning the heads of all my friends. you'll disappear. for days but i can't pretend. that i don't want to see you again. you're gone but i cannot let go. the space you leave is all i know. for a moment. you were my favorite 09. Dayburn - Embers days the wick. and we are the flame. left uncovered. in the rain. with every drop. we're no longer the same. will we make it. to burn again? here's the part. we show our thorns. will you take me. fate and form? have i become. what i set out to be? when there's no more. left here to burn. one more drop. and i'll turn into ash. dilute my embers. wait for me to crash. take what's left. as i fall through the cracks. how many winters? i keep losing track. here's the part. we show our thorns. will you take me. fate and form? have i become. what i set out to be? when there's no more. left here to burn. and now it's your turn 10. Gus Bjorn - Maybe When We're Older i've been hanging on tonight. searching for you tonight. but now you hide the world. behind your eyes. i've been thinking. of a time. when you came to me to cry. when you came to me. to make everything alright. alright. maybe. maybe when we're older. we'll find our way home. one we've never known. and i want you to go. to the place your heart knows. though i'll miss you. i'll miss you. i know. the sun will break again. son now when you're older. everything will fall in place. he said people come and go now. don't worry you'll find your own way. on a walk through tonight. where the rain has been flooding ground. the fog has me hazy now. dark clouds cover stars. as i kick through high park. i wonder if you'll ever see this. what's in my head. i wonder if i could ever show you. how much you meant to me. before this weather ends. and i'm sleeping again 11. The Skies We Built - Slow (instrumental) 12. Chasing Redemption - Hollow all these places i remember too well. all these faces staring back at me that i put through hell. they say time heals everything but the hurt still remains. i can see behind your smile and it fills me with shame. i'm just the shell of a man that i used to be it's hollow inside of my heart. maybe there's still something there only you can see a light shining through in the dark. some days i feel like we're running in circles some days i can't move at all. i'm just a hollow excuse of a person and you pick me up when i fall. empty promises never to believe. and everything worth dying for is farther than it seems. you're faith it does remind me and helps me carry on. if i fall upon my face i'm never too far gone. i'm just the shell of a man that i used to be it's hollow inside of my heart. maybe there's still something there only you can see a light shining through in the dark. some days i feel like we're running in circles some days i can't move at all. i'm just a hollow excuse of a person and you pick me up when i fall. you're patiently waiting i'm silently fading away don't let go of my hand. my will has been taken my soul has been shaken i know this is not who i am. i'm just the shell of a man that i used to be it's hollow inside of my heart. maybe there's still something there only you can see a light shining through in the dark. some days i feel like we're running in circles some days i can't move at all. i'm just a hollow excuse of a person and you pick me up when i fall
