Song: BENEATH A CRYING SKY CD: Scarred For Life
Track: 2 Music: From These Ashes Lyrics: Aaron brown & Jason Potter
When all this comes down tell me you're not gonna go
Don't leave me here, leave me all alone - I'm not safe here on my own
A sudden loss of words and feelings of emptiness wash over me like standing beneath a crying sky
CHORUS
JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER TIME, I FIND THERE'S NOTHING FOR ME
IF MY PROBLEMS WERE PICTURES, THEY'D SURELY BE BADLY DRAWN
Words of disbelief echo in my mind - through all of this
Reaching out feels just like shaking hands with the wind
Quick progression the beginning felt just like the end
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Everything's okay, everything's okay - nothing's right
Images and words, images and words locked in tight
When you can't have what you want and the feeling still exists
Through the pain I find that nothing fills the emptiness and I'm still hollow inside
CHORUS
Everything's okay, everything's okay - nothing's right
Images and words, images and words locked in tight

Song: DEAD TO ME CD: Scarred For Life
Track: 3 Music: From These Ashes Lyrics: Jason Potter
Showed your true colors and now you're on my bad side
Can't believe I cared for you all those times that you cried
CHORUS
YOU, YOU'RE SO PATHETIC, GET IT? NO! YOU JUST DON'T GET IT, GET IT?
YOU, YOU'RE SO PATHETIC, GET IT? YOU'RE DEAD TO ME
No one believes in you you've told so many lies
Getting rich off tragedy it's you that I despise
CHORUS
BRIDGE
The damage is done, you use in trying - There's nothing you can say or do
Get one thing straight, you better listen - There's no room in my life for you or your drama
CHORUS
You're dead to me

Song: YOUR TRANSGRESSION CD: Scarred For Life
Track: 4 Music: From These Ashes Lyrics: Jason Potter
My heart feels so empty, I've played the fool once again
Promises were broken - Numb, disbelief - what you did
I let you in, I gave my all but - Not good enough for you, no - you slut
Be counting your lucky stars I didn't find out before cause I would have killed you
CHORUS
FROM WHERE I STAND I STILL SEE TOMORROW
BEEN DOWN BEFORE I'VE BEGGED AND BORROWED
A BROKEN SOUL LEADS TO DEPRESSION
I'VE LEARNED FROM YOU AND YOUR TRANSGRESSION
I let you in, I gave my all but - Not good enough for you, no - you slut
Be counting your lucky stars I didn't find out before cause I would have killed you
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Breaking the mold again feels like the first time
Been left alone again this is the last time
CHORUS
My heart feels so empty, I've played the fool once again - never again

Song: FAMILY TRAGEDY CD: Scarred For Life
Track: 5 Music: From These Ashes Lyrics: Jason Potter
I can't take this abuse in my mind no, it's just no use
Incomplete since you've gone away, everyday I still see your face
And you're smiling looking at me as the tears flow, roll down my face
I can hear you calling for me are you still there? Are you watching?
This tragedy still fresh in my mind and in my soul
Feelings of depression are struggling for control
CHORUS
YOU'RE GONE BUT YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
YOU'LL ALWAYS BE A PART OF ME
They say time heals all wounds but that just isn't the way
It's been 10 years this month and still seems like yesterday
CHORUS
YOU'RE GONE BUT YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
YOU'LL ALWAYS BE A PART OF ME
DEEP IN MY HEART THAT'S WHERE I CAN FIND YOU
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU GAVE TO ME
BRIDGE
Nothing can erase these memories - Nothing can erase this pain in me
Nothing can erase these memories - Nothing can erase this pain inside of me
Nothing can erase this pain in me
Are you still there watching over me?

Song: A BETRAYAL OF FRIENDSHIP CD: Scarred For Life
Track: 6 Music: From These Ashes Lyrics: Jason Potter
Sometimes we open our mouths and then we say the wrong thing
Without even thinking, My past got the best of me
But what's been done cannot be undone, Don't even fathom it
I will not cave in when you have done the same thing
You - you're doing the same thing - I tried to be your best friend
CHORUS
ICE WATER RUNNING THROUGH YOUR VEINS
AN EMPTY SHELL ALL THAT REMAINS
IN SPITE OF ALL THAT I HAVE DONE
YOU ARE STILL THE BITTER ONE
IN SPITE OF ALL THE DAMAGE DONE
I AM NOT THE BITTER ONE
But what's been done cannot be undone, Don't even fathom it
I will not cave in when you have done the same thing
You - you're doing the same thing - I tried to be your best friend - never again
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Looking back through time I can't help but think
All those times we shared - Did they even mean anything?
CHORUS
But what's been done cannot be undone, Don't even fathom it
I will not cry for yesterday - Maybe we're better of this way

Song: THE BIRTH OF RAGE CD: Scarred For Life
Track: 7 Music: From These Ashes Lyrics: Jason Potter
I keep telling myself there’s a better way
Desolation’s turned my world a thousand shades of grey
I can’t figure out what I've done so wrong
Feel I’ve lost my faith ‘cause it’s been so long
I’ve become so numb from all of the pain
And I ask why have you forsaken me again
I can’t figure out what I've done so wrong
Feel I’ve lost my faith ‘cause it’s been so long
I keep losing my loved ones to the cold, cruel hand of death
I’m a regular at funerals – a constant fear of “who’s next?”
I lost my brother when I was only 8 years of age
That was the death of my innocence and the birth of my rage
CHORUS
MY MIND GROWS TIRED – MY SOUL’S WORN THROUGH
I CAN’T GO ON BECAUSE OF YOU
MY MIND GROWS TIRED – MY SOUL’S WORN THROUGH
I CAN’T GO ON – BECAUSE OF YOU
I’ve been reaching for it all but getting nothing in return
I’d rather die with my pride than crawl – someday will I burn?
I lost my brother when I was only 8 years of age
That was the death of my innocence and the birth of my rage
CHORUS
BRIDGE
You, you, yeah you - It's all because of you
You, you , yeah you - It's all because of you
You're the one who did this to me, and I hope one day you pay
I’m still telling myself there’s a better day
Wondering if I'll ever find that day, someday - maybe someday
Won’t you tell me what I did that was so wrong?
My faith is lost forever it’s been too long...too long…so long

No time for wrong solutions, only the winner stays
Tomorrow starts anew and we're left to count the days

BROKEN DOWN 'TILL THERE'S NO TRACE

Song: BRIDGES TO BURN CD: Depending On A False Tomorrow
Track: 2 Music: From These Ashes Lyrics: Jason Potter
So here I am once again - guess it just goes to show
The only one I can trust is me I've come to know
Looking back I can see the way I should've turned
Could've, would've, didn't - The past can f***ing burn
Looking back I can see the way I should've turned
Could've, would've, f**k that! I've got some bridges to burn
CHORUS
YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT WAS TAKEN FROM ME
ALL THE THINGS THAT I FACED, THAT I FACED
BUT I ALWAYS FOUND A WAY
A WAY TO MAKE IT THROUGH - WHAT ELSE COULD I DO?
ALL THE THINGS THAT I FACED, THAT I FACED
PUT ME WHERE I AM TODAY

Song: RIPPING MY HEART OUT CD: Depending On A False Tomorrow
Track: 3 Music: From These Ashes Lyrics: Jason Potter
My pulse quickens and my palms begin to sweat
Nauseated aren’t you finished with me yet?
Thought it was over guess I just don’t understand
You’re saying “I love you” but my blood is on your hands
CHORUS:
NOW THAT IT’S COME DOWN TO PUSH AND SHOVE
YOU SAY YOU WANNA SAVE OUR DYING LOVE
YOU’VE KILLED ME ONCE AND NOW YOU’RE BACK AGAIN
TO RIP OUT MY HEART AND I AM DYING AGAIN
Tears of anguish filled with pain roll down your face
Bloodstains soaked with love paint this once sacred place
Yes I feel sorrow but I can’t admit regret
Nauseated aren’t you finished with me yet?
CHORUS x 2
BRIDGE
Dying again - You’re ripping my heart out
Dying again - You’re ripping my heart out - and I am dying again

Song: NOTHING WITHOUT YOU CD: Depending On A False Tomorrow
Track: 4 Music: From These Ashes Lyrics: Jason Potter
There was a time when I wanted to die but now that’s all in the past
Forced into something that left me with nothing - Now I’m free at last
And all of the time…
CHORUS:
YOU WERE THERE RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME
SO INVISIBLE I COULDN’T SEE
A MAN ALONE UNTIL YOU FOUND ME
NOW THAT YOU’VE MADE ME FEEL COMPLETE
I WANNA GIVE YOU EVERYTHING
MY LIFE WITHOUT YOU WOULD BE NOTHING
Broken promises, love gone wrong betrayed - Left me with a jaded mind
Swore I’d never fall in love again but the heart can be so blind
And all of the time...
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Nothing without you - Nothing without you
And all of the time...
CHORUS
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing without you
Nothing, you, nothing, you, nothing, nothing without you

Song: THE GATES OF SLEEP CD: Depending On A False Tomorrow
Track: 5 Music: From These Ashes Lyrics: Jason Potter
The gates of sleep open for me
I never thought that my life would turn out this way
So many wrong turns, bad decisions and mistakes
If I could turn the time back to a better day
There are so many things I'd say and do but that will never change
CHORUS
TIME IS SLOWLY SLIPPING AWAY, WHAT HAPPENED TO MY YESTERDAY?
AS COLOR SLOWLY FADES TO GREY - THE GATES OF SLEEP OPEN FOR ME
I took so much for granted and the price I've paid
So many wrong turns, bad decisions and mistakes
I'd give anything to see my loved ones again if there was a way
The scars run so deep but they will never fade
CHORUS
BRIDGE
The gates of sleep open for me
I feel it slipping away, what happened to yesterday?
I feel it slipping away, the gates of sleep open for me

Song: SHE SAW THE DEVIL CD: Depending On A False Tomorrow
Track: 6 Music: From These Ashes Lyrics: Jason Potter
Feeling frustrated and worn from the fight
My mind is flooded with anger tonight
It just won't stop though I've tried to control
My imperfection keeps tormenting my soul
CHORUS
OVER AND OVER IT PLAYS WITHIN
MY SANITY IS WEARING THIN
SHE SAW THE DEVIL I MUST ADMIT
THAT I HAVE FAILED AGAIN
The blood pressure's rising and clouding my sight
How many times before I get it right?
So sick with weakness from painful mistakes
I must control this no matter what it takes
CHORUS

I've failed again - I've failed again

Song: WHATEVER IT TAKES CD: Depending On A False Tomorrow
Track: 7 Music: From These Ashes Lyrics: Aaron Brown & Jason Potter
Still think about you - wish everything, everything was fine
Like we didn’t fall apart, like you, you never left me behind
I still don’t understand how things have brought us to this day
And I want you to come back home, feel I’ve lost my way
CHORUS
WHEN WILL I FEEL THE TOUCH I USED TO FEEL?
AND WHEN WILL YOU MAKE ALL OF YOUR PROMISES REAL?
DOES IT HURT YOU AT ALL TO KNOW WHAT YOU’VE DONE TO ME?
WHATEVER IT TAKES I NEED YOU - I NEED YOU CAN’T YOU SEE?
I’ll never forget laying with you and staring at the skies
Watching as the stars sparkled inside of your beautiful eyes
Or all of the countless hours that we spent talking on the phone
Now we hardly even speak, and it makes me feel so alone
CHORUS
I know you’re never coming back, but I'm still tryin all the while
To fool my heart and everyone by painting on a smile
It’s so hard to forget, why won’t this all just let me go?
Did you ever really love me? I’d give up everything to know
CHORUS x 2

Track: 8 Music: From These Ashes Lyrics: Jason Potter
Lowlife - lowlife - feel so low - feel so low

A life so low - Just can't take it, feel so low - Gotta break it

WHAT'S THIS FOR? LIFE BRINGS ME DOWN EVERY SINGLE DAY

Now it lives inside of me

Walkin through my soul, feel the damage from all your control
A life brought down to size by you, a life so low

Track: 9 Music: From These Ashes Lyrics: Jason Potter
Sometimes when I’m talking to you the things I mean just won’t come through
My words, my thoughts, vanish before me and get so twisted yeah
Sometimes when you’re talking to me the things you mean I cannot see
Your words, your thoughts, vanish before you and get so twisted yeah
CHORUS:
THE THINGS WE SHOULD HAVE SAID

Things we should have said…things I should have said…
Things you should have said…

Song: BLEED MYSELF CLEAN CD: Severed Wings
Track: 1 Music: From These Ashes Lyrics: Jason Potter
Pain is weakness leaving the body
Stick in the knife twist it slowly, pull it out then do it again
Pick the scabs and make me bleed, you left a scar come on do it again
Yeah you scarred me – come on do it again
I’ve been at too many funerals, the tears I’ve cried overfill my cup
Hating life not wanting to live, 'cause I lost my father and my brother
Yeah you took ‘em both – I lost my loved ones
CHORUS:
I GOTTA BLEED MYSELF CLEAN, WASH OUT ALL THE IMPURITIES
EVERYTHING YOU DID TO ME - ERASE ALL THE MEMORIES
I GOTTA BLEED MYSELF CLEAN, WASH OUT ALL THE IMPURITIES
FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID TO ME - ERASE ALL THE MEMORIES

Song: FLESH WOUND CD: Severed Wings
Track: 2 Music: From These Ashes Lyrics: Aaron Brown & Jason Potter
The pain won’t end when her eyes go shut,dreams fade away and she’s so fed up
Of being rejected every time she turned around, feeling alone nowhere to go but down
CHORUS:
SO SHE JUST SLIT HER WRIST
LET LIFE FLOW OUT AND DEATH FLOW IN
SHE JUST SLIT HER WRIST
LET LIFE FLOW OUT AND DEATH FLOW IN
Kept to herself until the very end, heart cold inside felt she had no friends
You all thought it was the perfect life until her arm felt the cold steel knife
CHORUS x 2
BRIDGE
Death flows in, death flows in, death flows in
Now that you have noticed all her pain, you try but you’ll never reach her again
Time’s run out and she’s too far gone, life leaking from her veins it won’t be long
And you all thought it was the perfect life until her skin felt the cold steel knife – now she’s dying

Song: PURITY IN DEATH CD: Severed Wings
Track: 3 Music: From These Ashes Lyrics: Jason Potter
Do you remember we were best of friends?
Had a special bond thought it would never end
But as the time passed by and all the hell you went through
I didn’t know that you were changing too
CHORUS:
I’M NOT THE ONE WHO TOOK YOUR LIFE AWAY
I STOOD THERE WATCHING WHILE YOU WASTED IT AWAY
I'M NOT THE ONE WHO TOOK YOUR LIFE AWAY
I STOOD THERE WATCHING WHILE YOU WASTED IT AWAY
Now looking back it is so easy to see
That we just grew apart - you meant the world to me
But as you began to die and all the life left you
I didn’t know that I was changing too
CHORUS
The death of you friend has left me frozen inside
Felt my own life fading since the day you died
Now beyond the grave I hope you’re finally free
May your tortured soul find PURITY
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I’m not the one and I won’t be, I’m not the one and I won’t be
I’m not the one and I’ll never be - I’m not the one!

I’m not the one and I’ll never be - I’m not the one!
I’m not the one

Song: TAKE A WALK CD: Severed Wings
Track: 4 Music: From These Ashes Lyrics: Jason Potter
Take a walk – take a walk
In this world of suffering we've become numb to pain
On our knees since the day of birth, we’ve lived a life of shame
Empty eyes tell of scars untold - we can’t live with our past
We can’t live with the past
CHORUS:
I KNOW THAT YOU THINK THAT WE ARE INSANE, CRAZY
IT’S NO WONDER WHY IT’S JUST LIKE THIS MAYBE
YOU SHOULD WALK WITHIN OUR WORLD FOR JUST ONE DAY
THEN YOU COULD SEE EXACTLY WHERE WE’RE COMING FROM
Take a walk – take a walk
Our youth has been taken from us we’ve grown up too fast
Soldier toys fight with ball & chain - there’s no way we’re gonna last
Empty eyes tell of scars untold -we can’t remember our past
Man there’s no way we can remember the past
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I know – I know – (you think I don’t but) I know – I know

Take a walk

The truth of emotions lies behind my eyes, as I begin - come crashing down from the sky
Where can I go what do I hold on to here? When all that’s left for me to hold is…fear
PRE-CHORUS:
I won’t keep looking for what I can’t find
'Cause all I ever wanted just got left behind
It’s like a dream comes crashing down on me
Covers my eyes makes me blind so I can't see
CHORUS:
THE BLOOD BOILS BLACK AND IT FUELS MY AGGRESSION
FEASTING ON YOUR FLESH YOU ARE MY OBSESSION
BLOOD BOILS BLACK AND IT FUELS MY AGGRESSION

All that I need but I’m afraid of this - You started it all with just a little kiss

Song: JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE CD: Severed Wings
Track: 6 Music: From These Ashes Lyrics: Jason Potter
It’s time to stand up for yourself now
You've been stabbed in the back – kicked in the face, labeled your family’s disgrace
Lied to, stole from – the taunts & the laughs - there’s no escaping from all the past
Accused, abused – knocked to the floor, no longer safe behind your bedroom door
Threatened with death and even more, you walk out of the handgun store
Cock the hammer – pull the trigger
CHORUS:
IT’S JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE
IT'S JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE
BRIDGE
Go, kill, go, kill
Time to stand up for yourself
Don’t let them push you around
