Where the words came from, Pt ???

Greetings,

This is James, vocals, and I am going to totally rip off Eric and tell a little story about some of the lyrics to our songs. I can be a bit wordy, but I'm going to do my best to really get inside my own mind and relate the places where these words came from. First up: Porcelain Face, Never Coming Back, and Seeing In The Darkness. After my ramblings, the lyrics will be posted. If there is any request for lyrics, songs, etc...leave a comment or let us know on Twitter, which is www.Twitter.com/BlameOwen. So, Grab a beer and enjoy!


Porcelain Face
The lyrics for this song came about from one word, ossuary. I was in a religion class and the prof., a Jesuit priest, was explaining how in Jesus' time, there was only one burial place. It was a slab of stone for the dead body, and a box to place the bones in when someone else died. So the chorus is about seeing someone shatter and then placing their bones in a box. The verses are about slowly going insane, and seeing that the person who is shattering is yourself.

Never Coming Back
This song is about a plane crash! Yes, it really is. When I wrote the lyrics I was just starting to get sucked into the mythology of Lost, and that was the basis of the direction I was going in. Then, I was stuck on a line from a song, "Rusty casket, empty funeral." That's where the second verse came from. The other verses come from feeling the despair of the reality that they were never coming back.

Seeing In the Darkness
The current lyrics are acutally the second version of this song. The original lyrics were kind of cool with a realllly lame chorus. I was obssesed with contraditions at the time and it was about the living die no more, and the blind see no more, not good. So I changed the chorus, and then just rewrote the whole thing.
This song actually ties into the first song I ever wrote, back when I was 15. It was called "Kill Me If I Say Please?" The song is fucked up, basically me seeing my own death, but I really liked the idea of someone saying kill me, please. That line became the basis of the chorus. The verses came from me listening to Mudvayne's "World So Cold" a lot, and writing down what I felt after.

So, there are the first three of the songs, many more to come! As promised, here are the lyircs:


Porcelain Face
Staring at your porcelain face
So pristine and beautiful
But this is really not your place
Bow down and be dutytiful
Watching as your porcelain face
Shatters it's not that scary
Now its time to know your place
Put you in the ossuary

You try so hard to be perfect
But you failed and now I am right

Staring at your porcelain face
So pristine and beautiful
But this is really not your place
Bow down and be dutytiful
Watching as your porcelain face
Shatters it's not that scary
Now its time to know your place
Put you in the ossuary

It's so easy to end it all
Slit your wrists and take the fall

Staring at your porcelain face
So pristine and beautiful
But this is really not your place
Bow down and be dutytiful
Watching as your porcelain face
Shatters it's not that scary
Now its time to know your place
Put you in the ossuary

I Am not sane My heads not right
No jail, no locks, two words: bone box
　
Staring at my porcelain face
So pristine and beautiful
But this is really not my place to
Bow down and be dutytiful
Watching as my porcelain face
Shatters it's Oh so scary
Now its time to know my place
Put me in the ossuary
There is a war inside my head

Who will win it won't be pretty
Now I am stone cold dead
Man, it feels pretty shitty
No more pain my fucked up head
No more chains, no more locks
No more feeling in my life
My life is the bone box



Never Coming Back

727 plane went down
1300 hours it hit the ground
Bones broken, blood splattered
But still we live on

Please help us we’re not faking
Please help us, we want to live
We’ve given all we have to give

They buried empty coffins
Tears now flow more often
We’ve All but been forgotten
But We’re still alive!

Why did this happen to us?
Please help us we survived
Please help us we’re alive

Never coming back (x4)

Take this life
I don’t need it anyway
It’s fucked up
Can you please make it go away
We’ve lost the will to live
Now we know the chilling fact
We’re never coming back



Seeing In The Darkness

Don’t run and hide
Face the knowledge inside
Safe, calm and lightless
Seeing the Darkness

Would you kill me if I said Please?
Will you put me down on my knees
Blow my brains, out the back of my head
Make me lifeless, Make me dead
Send me to that place so calm and lifeless
Send me home, Seeing in the Darkness

The dream is dead
Blood pours from my head
There is no silence
There’s only violence

Would you kill me if I said Please?
Will you put me down on my knees
Blow my brains, out the back of my head
Make me lifeless, Make me dead
Send me to that place so calm and lifeless
Send me home, Seeing in the Darkness

Please use the gun
Please use just one
Please make it quick
PLEASE!

Would you kill me if I said Please?
Will you put me down on my knees
Blow my brains, out the back of my head
Make me lifeless, Make me dead
Send me to that place so calm and lifeless
Send me home, Seeing in the Darkness
