Anaka : Rust and Jade
Lyrics
1. WITHER ON THE VINE
Time chips away at the stone
What once was young now grows old
Cracks in the earth are like cracks in my bones
Soul's not what it was
I'm questioning what I've done
What once was cold now it seems so frozen
Wither
Wither on the vine
Wither
Now I'm next in line
Wither
Wither on the vine
Wither
Now I'm out of time
All things grow towards the end
Forget those meanings again
Love it all it just seems so rotten
Love withers too give it time
It withers on that vine
What once was real now its seems so temporary
Wither
Wither on the vine
Wither
Now I'm next in line
Wither
Wither on the vine
Wither
Now I'm out of time
Savior where have you gone
I'm made of sand not of stone
Watch it all just fade away
Fading dust blows away
To cleans the earth of its past
Leave ourselves, now all that's left are memories
Wither
Wither on the vine
Wither
Now I'm next in line
Wither
Wither on the vine
Wither
Now I'm out of time
2. ALL I'VE KNOWN
YAhhh Yahhh (3)
Yahhh yaoohh
Now my child remember
Where my will my heart may go
As this wonder fills me
What may be I'll never know...
Yahhh Yahhh (3)
Yahhh yaooh
Yeah Yeah
When I see my way back home
Once again I find that wall
Will I find my way now?
Will I find my way out?
When I see my way I seal my fate I know
And when I seal my fate I feel that sting I've known... Yea-yeah
Why do I do this to myself?
Yeah When I see my way back
(When I see )
All I've known I know is there
(All I've known )
When I see my way I fall inside this pain I found Yeah
When I see my way yeah
(When I see )
All I've known I know is there
(All I've known )
When I see my way I fall inside this pain unbound yeah
Yahhh Yahhh (3)
Yahhh yaoohhh
3. RUST AND JADE
Sometimes you just wanna give up...(Dont Give Up!)
Sometimes you just wanna give in (Don't Give In!)
Sometimes you just wanna let go...(Never Let Go!)
But this is where you make your fucken stand...(Always Make Your Stand!)
This is where you pick yourself up...(Just Pick Yourself Up!)
This is where you dust yourself off...(And Dust Yourself Off!)
This is where you find who you are...(Ahhh!)
It seems that times have changed...
The days have rearranged...
When one good thing goes wrong
It seems the rest may follow.
It's weighing on my mind...
How could I loose this time...
I guess in time things fade...
They tend to rust and jade.
How can it be like this...
My life I'll surely miss...
I knew that I'd feel this way...
Just wish that you'd go away.
The days they don't seem real...
Can't hide this pain I feel...
It seems they've had there way...
Can't let them see me wallow.
Can't fight the memories...
In life we pay our deeds...
And as you walk away...
There's nothing I can say.
How can it be like this...
My life I'll surely miss...
I knew that I'd feel this way...
Just wish that you'd go away.
They say what doesn't kill you...
They say it makes you stronger...
I say what doesn't kill you...
I say it beats you longer.
It seems I find an ending...
An upside down beginning...
And with the new day pending...
A story never ending.
How can it be like this...
My life I'll surely miss...
I knew that I'd feel this way...
Just wish that you'd go away.
How can it be like this...
My life I'll surely miss...
I knew that I'd feel this way...
Just wish that you'd go away.
4. NEVERMORE
Look around
And tell me what you see
Settle down
And Tell Me What You Seek
I never felt like this before
I never should have shut that door
Why must I feel this way?
Bleed my soul nevermore
Nevermore (3)
Look inside
And tell me what you feel
Chances shine
Please Tell Me Is This Truly Real?
(Make It Real !)
I never lost like this before
I never meant to lock that door
Why must it be this way?
Bleed my soul nevermore
Nevermore (3)
I can't deny
The reasons why I feel this way
It's in your eyes
So Sad To See My Weak This Way
(I'm Not Weak !)
I never died like this before
I never shoulda locked that door
Why must it end this way?
Bleed my soul nevermore
Nevermore
(Let It Go!)
Nevermore.. .
(Watch It Die !)
Nevermore ..
(Leave It Lay!)
Nevermore
(Fuck'n Bitch!)
You lied, you lied, you lied...
5. MISERY'S CHILD
Never
No never
It's always forever
The fire
The liar
I'm misery's child
The taker
The breaker
The misery maker
The darker
The crueler
I'm misery's child
Lo how I wait how bleed for you
Lo in this phase on my knees what to do
Lo how I hate how I seethe over you
Lost in this place forever times two
The needer
The bleeder
The agoney breeder
The blinder
Reminder
I'm misery's child
The master
The caster
The heartache I'm after
The joker
The choker
I'm misery's child
Lo how I wait how bleed for you
Lo in this phase on my knees what to do
Lo how I hate how I seethe over you
Lost in this place forever times two
Never
No never
It's always forever
The fire
The liar
I'm misery's child
The taker
The breaker
The misery maker
The darker
The crueler
I'm misery's child
I'm misery's child!
I'm misery's child!
I'm misery's child!
6. SHINE?
Why won't it shine?
Obsessing about you is all that I know
Locked in your cage and you wont let me go
Losing myself now I'm fading away
You'll know my name when I'm gone
And still it won't shine
Buried by heartache, I'm living in shame
Living without you, it drives me insane
Can't be myself, without you by my side
You'll Know My Name When I'm Gone
Heartache divine
I can't understand why you treat me this way
Secrets surround you I live in dismay
In orbit around you, is all I can be
You'll know my name when I'm gone
Play with my mind
There's something about you that I just can't find
Deep down inside, I know I'm to blame
Each time I've fallen, I've fallen the same
You'll Know My Name When I'm Gone
Shine No never shine
you never shine no never
shine you'll never shine!
(I hate you, I love you, I loath you, Why won't it shine?)
Why won't it shine?
Still I keep hoping that you might hold me
Just like the others you might help me be
Sucker for heartbreak, that's swallowing me
You'll Know My Name When I'm Gone
When I'm Gone When I'm Gone
When I'm Gone
7. THE DAYS WENT SOUTH
The days went south, oh cant you see
How loss brings on reality
A broken wish, still broken bare
Suffer through, oh sweet despair
Live thy own, and face thy pain
Cast the stone and face the shame
A kneeling man, his soul worn ill
He stands his ground at bottom hill
The days went south, oh cant you see
How this world has corrupted me
It left me cold and bled me dry
It left me here to lie and die
As all burns all and all burns me
An act of hateful misery
The walls cry out and scream his name
Help me lord I'm not to blame!
Tell me what do we do?
Hear the hero's screaming
Tell me where do we go?
When the days go south now
Tell me how can this be?
See the pillars burning down
Tell me what do we do?
Tell me what do we do?
Hear the hero's screaming
Tell me where do we go?
When the days go south now
Tell me why must this be?
See the pillars falling down
Tell me what do we do?
When days go south
Below ground zero
The days went south
Below ground zero!
What Do We Do Upon This Hill Of Pain?
What Do We Do Upon This Hill Of Shame?
8. WITH PASSING TIME
These wars I fear I've fought before
It seems that times will change no more for me not for me
I see the storm has come once more
Aint nothing I aint never seen before well before
Yet still I find with passing time
The cuts skin deep have pushed beyond the bone beyond the bone
What once was strong it still may last as time does turn a shadow is cast on me LET ME BE!
Fading, I'm fading away
Fading, I'm fading away
Fading, I'm fading away
Fading, Lord I'm fading away
(With passing time )
The hours pass and ravage all Yet I refuse to bend n' fall, I won't fall,
I just cant fall
Yes once I stood above it all, today it seems I just can't stand as tall no not as tall
My body wanes, this soldier sighs, I feel I'm holding up the sky again OVER ME !
Fading, I'm fading away
(With passing time )
Fading, I'm fading away
Fading, I'm fading away
(I've passed my time)
Fading, Lord I'm fading away
(With passing time )
I know that life won't last with all
Yet I can't seem to let it go today no not today
Cuz in my head a memory, a vision of what used to be for me that I can't see
There's so much left unsaid, undone
Don't let there be a setting sun today No Not Today !
Fading, I'm fading away
Fading, I'm fading away
Fading, I'm fading away
Fading, Lord I'm fading away
(With passing time )
9. ALONE
Alone here waiting
With these suffering beaten brains
With no escape
You left me worse than you found me
How could this be ?
You went, you left, you've gone away
But now that it's over
You said you hate but never told me why
Look at me a shell of a man
Look at you how tall you stand
Watch my pain with laughing eyes
All alone, alone I stand
These bitter pills
That I've swallowed again and again and again
I'm reaching out
I'm reaching out to denying hands
This lifeless prison
I've died twice, so why am I breathing?
Just make it over
I lost the plan and forgot the reason why
Look at me a shell of a man
Look at you how tall you stand
Watch my pain with laughing eyes
All alone, alone I stand
All Alone, All Alone, All Alone
I'm Alone
Look at me a shell of a man
Look at you how tall you stand
Watch my pain with laughing eyes
All alone, alone I stand
10. GATHER THE ASH
You say that I'm done...
You said that I'm done
That I've nothing left
My best days are gone
I'm living what's left
The burning that you smell
Comes from deep inside
I'm reeking of hope
I'm stinking of pride
Boo...Boo!
Do I scare you?
Boo...Boo!
I'm not like you!
Don't say that I'm done
I know my own heart
I'm living the role
Watch me play the part
Boo...Boo!
Do I scare you?
Boo...Boo!
I'm not like you!
If in the end they go down in flames...
Gather the ash and spread it like rain
If in the end I go down in flames...
Gather the ash and spread it like rain
Time chips away at the stone
What once was young now grows old
Cracks in the earth are like cracks in my bones
Soul's not what it was
I'm questioning what I've done
What once was cold now it seems so frozen
Wither
Wither on the vine
Wither
Now I'm next in line
Wither
Wither on the vine
Wither
Now I'm out of time
All things grow towards the end
Forget those meanings again
Love it all it just seems so rotten
Love withers too give it time
It withers on that vine
What once was real now its seems so temporary
Wither
Wither on the vine
Wither
Now I'm next in line
Wither
Wither on the vine
Wither
Now I'm out of time
Savior where have you gone
I'm made of sand not of stone
Watch it all just fade away
Fading dust blows away
To cleans the earth of its past
Leave ourselves, now all that's left are memories
Wither
Wither on the vine
Wither
Now I'm next in line
Wither
Wither on the vine
Wither
Now I'm out of time
2. ALL I'VE KNOWN

Where my will my heart may go
As this wonder fills me
What may be I'll never know...
Yahhh Yahhh (3)
Yahhh yaooh

Once again I find that wall
Will I find my way now?
Will I find my way out?
When I see my way I seal my fate I know
And when I seal my fate I feel that sting I've known... Yea-yeah
Why do I do this to myself?
Yeah When I see my way back
(When I see )
All I've known I know is there
(All I've known )
When I see my way I fall inside this pain I found Yeah
When I see my way yeah
(When I see )
All I've known I know is there
(All I've known )
When I see my way I fall inside this pain unbound yeah
Yahhh Yahhh (3)
Yahhh yaoohhh

Gather the ash and spread it like rain
