To A Friend Lyrics


I'm thinking that it's time to get out
My patients are fading fast
The mind bruises just a little bit easier
Dark times and shadows castWhat are you suffering for?
Your pride or some kind of personal war?
And will you throw it away?
For nothing more than the simple taste?I'll stay in time and watch you pass by
(Paranoia woven deep beneath my skin)
And I'll draw this line and hope you take my side
(Breath slow, breath slow)You shouldn't have to fight alone
(You shouldn't have to fight at all)
It's nobody's battle but your ownPanic holds me like a gun
Firm and steadfast bleak and cold
I think it's time to kill the drama
This life style's getting oldFaces threaten from behind closed doors
Eyes spy from dark windows
Plotting minds that seek to harm me
Or maybe not I don't really knowThere is something waiting for me

In the darkest part of my imaginationI'll stay in time and watch you pass by
(Paranoia woven deep beneath my skin)
And I'll draw this line and hope you take my side
(Breath slow, breath slow)You shouldn't have to fight alone
(You shouldn't have to fight at all)
It's nobody's battle but your ownThis is just self-induced terror
There's more to come, this is just a glimpse
I tell myself that it's all in my head
But I'm pretty hard to convinceOh, there's no relief
Oh, this world can offer
Oh, there's no relief
Oh, this world can offer meI stay in time and watch you pass by
I draw this line and hope you'll take my side
You shouldn't have to fight alone
It's nobody's battle but your own

Alexisonfire (pronounced 'alexis-on-fire') was a band from St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. Their music was characterized by turbulent and explosive dynamics with intricate guitar melodies. Consisting of five friends, they formed in late 2001 as the result of a three-band break up. In August 2011, it was announced on their website that they had broken up as members expressed interests in other projects.

The band’s name is inspired by a lactating contortionist stripper named Alexis Fire. This caused problems when she discovered that they were using her website name (alexisonfire.com) as their band name, and threatened to sue. However, since she had never trademarked the title nothing became of these threats. In the end, the band decided to change their website’s URL in spite to theonlybandever.com

Alexisonfire’s lyrical topics range from relationship troubles to go-karting. They have two primary vocalists, screaming duties carried out by George Pettit, and singing by Dallas Green, with support from Wade MacNeil.

While their largest fanbase was in their home country of Canada, they also became more popular in other parts of the world, including Japan, Australia, Europe and the US. In the second half of 2010, they toured Australia with Break Even, Europe with Chickenhawk and The Computers and then Canada with Norma Jean and La Dispute.

The band was nominated for "ugliest rock band ever" at the CASBY awards (held by local Toronto radio station) but lost out to another Canadian born band, Sum 41. In 2010 they then won the "Best New Single" Award for their track The Northern.
