Alter Bridge Lyrics - One Day Remains
Open Your Eyes
Looking back I clearly see
What it is that’s killing me
Through the eyes of one I know
I see a vision once let go
I had it all
Constantly it burdens me
Hard to trust and can’t believe
Lost the faith and lost the love
When the day is done
Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
On and on we stand alone
Until our day has come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one
I love the way I feel today
But how I know the sun will fade
Darker days seem to be
What will always live in me
But still I run
It’s hard to walk this path alone
Hard to know which way to go
Will I ever save this day
Will it ever change
Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
Still today we carry on
I know our day will come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one
Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
It’s hard to walk this path alone
Hard to know which way to go
Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
Lost the faith and lost the love
When the day is done
Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
Find the Real
Stuck in the middle I burrow inside
Back to the cradle
Away from the burdens of all my crimes
Before it’s fatal
My past has found me the truth’s come out
All is remembered
With no place to fall but straight down
I must surrender
Well it seems I’ve
Finally thought of everything
I wanna love
I wanna feel
Find peace
Find the real
There’s a face I put on all my life
The face of an angel
But I look in the mirror only to find
The face of a stranger
And with all I’ve taken I hunger for more
'Cause I’m selfish
And all I’m left with is a crown of thorns
And I’m helpless
Well it seems I’ve
Finally thought of everything
I wanna love
I wanna feel
Find peace
Find the real
I’ll trade these lies for something right
I’ll kill what hurts with something pure
I will be redeemed so I can breathe again
Well it seems I’ve
Finally thought of everything
I wanna love
I wanna feel
Find peace
Find the real
Well it seems I’ve
Finally thought of everything
I wanna love
I wanna feel
Find peace
Find the real
One Day Remains
And as your will is bent and broken
And every vision has been cast into the wind
As your courage crashes down before your eyes
Don’t lay down and die
'Cause I see in you
More than you’ll ever know
And I ask you why
You question the strength inside
And you need to know
How it feels to be alive
When every wound has been reopened
And in this world of give and take you must have faith
And the distance to your dreams stretch beyond reach
Don’t lay down and die
'Cause I see in you
More than you’ll ever know
And I ask you why
You question the strength inside
And you need to know
How it feels to be alive
How it feels
How it feels to be alive
How it feels
How it feels to be alive
How it feels
How it feels to be alive
'Cause I see in you
More than you’ll ever know
And I ask you why
You question the strength inside
And you need to know
How it feels to be alive
How it feels to be alive
Burn it Down
Drank so much last night
I think that I drowned
But now my cup is empty
No one has seen my will around
Now my heart is aching
Sometimes I fall asleep for days
But my bed is empty
I know I’m too set in my ways
Tell ‘em all I’m okay
So burn it down
Discover the dusk
Of your day has reached it’s dawn
So burn it down
Remember to find a new way
To carry on
Flew so high last night
I think that I fell
To the ground so heavy
Woke up to find this living hell
It used to be so easy
Hard to tell my nights
Now from my days
The curtains hide my feelings
Don’t feel I have any right to pray
And will they find me someday
Someday
So burn it down
Discover the dusk
Of your day has reached it’s dawn
So burn it down
Remember to find a new way
To carry on
So burn it down
Discover the dusk
Of your day has reached it’s dawn
So burn it down
Remember to find a new way
To carry on
And whatever takes us away
Will be the same to drive us on
And whatever takes us away
Will be the same to drive us on
Remember to find a new way
A way to see it all
It’s finally slipping away
Soon it will be gone
Remember to find a new day
Remember to carry on
So burn it down
Discover the dusk
Of your day has reached it’s dawn
So burn it down
Remember to find a new way
To carry on
So burn it down
Discover the dusk
Of your day has reached it’s dawn
So burn it down
Remember to find a new way
To carry on
Metalingus
I’ve been defeated and brought down
Dropped to my knees when hope ran out
The time has come to change my ways
On this day
I see clearly
Everything has come to life
A bitter place and a broken dream
And we’ll leave it all
Leave it all behind
I’ll never long for what might have been
Regret won’t waste my life again
I won’t look back I’ll fight to remain
On this day
I see clearly
Everything has come to life
A bitter place and a broken dream
And we’ll leave it all behind
On this day
It’s so real to me
Everything has come to life
Another chance to chase a dream
Another chance to feel
Chance to feel alive
Fear will kill me
All I could be
Lift these sorrows
Let me breathe
Could you set me free
Could you set me free
On this day
I see clearly
Everything has come to life
A bitter place and a broken dream
We’ll leave it all behind
On this day
It’s so real to me
Everything has come to life
Another chance to chase a dream
Another chance to feel
Chance to feel alive
Broken Wings
Fight the fight alone
When the world is full of victims
Dims a fading light
In our souls
Leave the peace alone
How we all are slowly changing
Dims a fading light
In our souls
In my opinion seeing is to know
The things we hold
Are always first to go
And who’s to say
We won’t end up alone
On broken wings I’m falling
And it won’t be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees I’m bleeding
And it won’t be long
I’ve got to find that meaning
I’ll search for so long
Cry ourselves to sleep
We will sleep alone forever
Will you lay me down
In the same place with all I love
Mend the broken homes
Care for them
They are our brothers
Save the fading light in our souls
In my opinion seeing is to know
What you give
Will always carry you
And who’s to say
We won’t survive it too
On broken wings I’m falling
And it won’t be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees I’m bleeding
And it won’t be long
I’ve got to find that meaning
I’ll search for so long
Set a
Free all
Relying on their will
To make me all that I am
And all that I’ll be
Set a
Free all
Will fall between the cracks
With memories of all that I am
And all that I’ll be
On broken wings I’m falling
And it won’t be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees I’m bleeding
And it won’t be long
I’ve got to find that meaning I’ll search for so long
In Loving Memory
Thanks for all you've done
I've missed you for so long
I can't believe you're gone
You still live in me
I feel in the wind
You guide me constantly
I never knew what it was to be alone, no
'Cause you were always there for me
You were always home waiting
But now I come home
And I miss your face so
Smiling down on me
I close my eyes to see
And I know
You’re a part of me
And it’s your song
That sets me free
I sing it while
I feel I can’t hold on
I sing tonight
'Cause it comforts me
I carry the things
That remind me of you
In loving memory of
The one that was so true
You were as kind as you could be
And even though you’re gone
You still mean the world to me
I never knew what it was to be alone, no
'Cause you were always there for me
You were always home waiting
But now I come home and it’s not the same, no
It feels empty and alone
I just can’t believe you’re gone
And I know
You’re a part of me
And it’s your song
That sets me free
I sing it while
I feel I can’t hold on
I sing tonight
'Cause it comforts me
I’m glad He set you free from sorrow
But I’ll still love you more tomorrow
And you’ll be here
With me still
All you did you did with feeling
And you always found a meaning
And you always will
And you always will
And you always will
And I know
You’re a part of me
And it’s your song
That sets me free
I sing it while
I feel I can’t hold on
I sing tonight
'Cause it comforts me
Down to My Last
To the ones in which we sing
We are honored you let us in
I remember the thoughts of many things
Of the glory that you bring
I was never the right one
To dare to dream
It’s funny what this life has done to me now
You were always the only
To help me see that was a road I must find
A road that was mine
But I’m down to my last
I’m standing here alone
Looking back on it all
I’m down to my last
I’m ready but I’m wrong and
I’m blind to it all
And to the ones in which we sing
Ones who tried to do us in
I remember your name and I know your face
I can’t forgive and can’t erase
I was never the right one
To bear the weight
Of something fueled by words I learned to hate
You were always the only
To help me see that to love is to shine
In your world I’m blind
But I’m down to my last
I’m standing here alone
Looking back on it all
But I’m down to my last
I’m ready but I’m wrong and
I’m blind to it all
But I’m down to my last
I’m ready but I’m wrong
And I’m scared of it all
But I’m down to my last
I’m ready but I’m wrong
And I’m blind to it all
But I’m down to my last
I’m ready but I’m wrong
And I’m blind to it all
Watch Your Words
Watch your words
Or your words might drown you
And cure my wounds
And the light will blind you
To truly see well
You must have faith
Oh the righteous they can’t wait
A saving grace
That we all know
Let us pray
Let us hold on
I can’t breathe
I prefer to find a ceiling
To this hate of mine
I can’t win
I can fight no more
I’m drowning
And I’m sick inside
Push no more
And the day will find you
Speak no truth
And your ways will end you
It’s alright
And you must move on
Though the damage
Has been done
Cherish the life
And the ones you hold
Can you change
Can you go on
I can’t breathe
I prefer to find a ceiling
To this hate of mine
I can’t win
I can fight no more
I’m drowning
And I’m sick inside
To truly see well
You must have faith
Oh the righteous
They can’t wait
A saving grace
That we all know
Let us pray
Let us hold on
I can’t breathe
I prefer to find a ceiling
To this hate of mine
I can’t win
I can fight no more
I’m drowning
And I’m sick inside
Shed My Skin
I am not alone
I live with the memories
Regret is my home
This is my true freedom
Express all the feelings of what I’ve become
I watch the rising sun
I hope I find some peace today
It seems I’ve gone away
It seems I’ve lost my self
It seems I’ve really lost my way
It seems I’ve lost myself-It seems I’ve…
Shed my skin
Are you ready for me
Or purge my love
Are you ready for me
A bitter sinking feeling
Awake to the fact there’s no going back
To the world in which I was living
I’m searching for something but found less than nothing
I watch the rising sun
I hope I find some peace today
It seems I’ve gone away
It seems I’ve lost myself
It seems I’ve really lost my way
It seems I’ve lost myself
It seems I’ve
Shed my skin
Are you ready for me
Or purge my love
Are you ready for me
Oh 'cause I’m dying to feel
What I have lost
Oh and what I was
All my life I’ve waited
Endless days have taken
Taken what made me free
Years have gone
I’m broken
Left the past unspoken
Those years…
Oh they haunt me still
Shed my skin
Are you ready for me
Or purge my love
Are you ready for me
And shed my skin
The End is Here
Endless days
We search for what we hold inside
So hard to find
Luck turns
Will the fallen ever reach within
And rise again
For the rest of my life
I will find the answers
That were always here
I will find the meaning this time
I will fight the end
Till the end is here
Wasted time
With words that seem to break our will
They bind us still
Without a care
They tarnish what we hold so dear
What was once so clear
For the rest of my life
I will find the answers
That were always here
I will find the meaning this time
I will fight the end
Till the end is here
The end is here
The end is here
The end is here
The end is here
For the rest of my life
I will find the answers
That were always here
I will find the meaning this time
I will fight the end
Till the end is here
