[Chorus]
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
That's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
That's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

[Verse 1]
I can't tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
(And right now there's a steel knife in my windpipe)
I can't breathe
But I still fight while I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right
It's like I'm in flight
(High off a love
Drunk from the hate
It's like I'm huffin' paint
And I love it the more I suffer)
I suffocate
And right before I'm about to drown
(She resuscitates me)
She fucking hates me
And I love it
Wait
Where you going
I'm leaving you
No you ain't come back
We're running right back
(Here we go again
It's so insane
'Cause when it's going good
It's going great
I'm Superman with the wind at his back
She's Lois Lane)
But when it's bad it's awful
I feel so ashamed
I snap
Who's that dude
I don't even know his name
I laid hands on her
I'll never stoop so low again
I guess I don't know my own strength

[Chorus]
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
That's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
That's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

[Verse 2]
You ever love somebody so much
You can barely breathe
When you're with them
(You meet
And neither one of you
Even know what hit 'em)
Got that warm fuzzy feeling
Yeah them chills
Used to get 'em
Now you're getting fucking sick of looking at 'em
(You swore you've never hit 'em
Never do nothing to hurt 'em
Now you're in each other's face
Spewing venom
In your words
When you spit 'em)
You push
Pull each other's hair
Scratch, claw, bit 'em
Throw 'em down, pin 'em
(So lost in the moments when you're in 'em)
It's the rage that took over
It controls you both
So they say it's best to go your separate ways
Guess that they don't know ya
'Cause today that was yesterday
Yesterday is over
It's a different day
Sound like broken records
Playing' over
But you promised her
Next time you'll show restraint
You don't get another chance
Life is no Nintendo game
But you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave
Out the window
Guess that's why they call it window pane

[Chorus]
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
That's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
That's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

[Verse 3]
Now I know we said things
Did things
That we didn't mean
And we fall back
Into the same patterns
Same routine
But your temper's just as bad as mine is
You're the same as me
But when it comes to love
You're just as blinded
Baby please come back
It wasn't you
Baby it was me
Maybe our relationship
Isn't as crazy as it seems
Maybe that's what happens
When a tornado meets a volcano
All I know is I love you too much
To walk away though
Come inside
Pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Don't you hear sincerity
In my voice when I talk
Told you this is my fault
Look me in the eyeball
Next time I'm pissed
I'll aim my fist
At the dry wall
Next time
There will be no next time
I apologize
Even though I know it's lies
I'm tired of the games
I just want her back
I know I'm a liar
If she ever tries to fuckin' leave again
I'mma tie her to the bed
And set this house on fire

[Chorus]
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
That's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
That's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

A Skylit Drive

Formed in 2006 while all of its bandmembers were attending high school in Lodi, California, A Skylit Drive quickly established a familiar post-hardcore sound, combining the aggression of screamo with the pop-leaning aspects of emo. The sextet released its debut EP, She Watched the Sky, in 2007 on Tragic Hero Records. By the end of that year, A Skylit Drive had endured numerous lineup changes, a situation that lent itself well to 2008’s tense, angst-fueled full-length debut, Wires…And the Concept of Breathing. The album broke into the Billboard Top 200 and helped to establish the group outside of its West Coast confines.

The band kept busy throughout the year, touring with similar-minded outfits like Chiodos, Greeley Estates, August Burns Red, and Sky Eats Airplane, as well as releasing the live DVD Let Go of the Wires in December. The following June, A Skylit Drive released their sophomore effort, Adelphia, which marked their first release for Fearless Records. As usual, the guys supported its release by hitting the road, joining up with the Warped Tour that summer before traveling across America, the U.K., and Europe in early 2010. By February, they’d begun working on another album, Identity on Fire, which was released 12 months later in 2011, and would be the last LP to feature lead guitarist Joey Wilson, who’d left the band the following year. A Skylit Drive’s fourth studio long player, Rise, was issued in 2013 via Tragic Hero Records and peaked at the number 41 slot on the Billboard Top 200. The following year saw the departures of bassist/scream vocalist Brian White and drummer Cory La Quay, and in January 2015, the band released an all-acoustic version of Rise called Ascension. March saw the arrival of new members Michael Labelle (Ex Reverie) on guitars and Brandon Richter (Motionless in White) on drums, with the new full-length ASD dropping later that October. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
