It begins with a dark glowing ember...
Something black burning its way out of me
Searing the flesh
Pain is the only thing I feel, scars all I see...
Oh no the fire's burning my insides again!
What can I do to silence my desire tonight?
Flames consuming reason leaving only ashes left,
You will catch me regretting my decision
I can't keep telling myself what I want to hear (what I want to hear)
I can't just close my eyes
I know that it's killing me
And it's poisoning the best of me
What I say, I don't want to believe
So let me tell you more, tell you more
About the lies I lead
That is how I choose to douse the flames in gasoline (Whoo!)
Broken dreams replace the blackout memories in my head
Wreckage from my past, it haunts me, shakes me to the bone (to the bone)
I know it's over but I can't go home tonight
But after this I feel as empty as the night before
Feel the pain and yet I'm still begging for more
Masochistic, nihilistic, urging backward thought
My life's a mess and I can't find a way to fix it
I can't keep telling myself what I want to hear (what I want to hear)
I can't just close my eyes
(close my, close my, close my fuckin eyes)
I know that it's killing me,
And it's poisoning the best of me
What I say, I don't want to believe
So let me tell you more, tell you more
About the lies I lead
Calling, calling out
The darkest reaches of my soul are riddled with self-doubt
Crawling, crawling out
My will to fight will more than suffice when others would lay down
It's only as dark as you make it!
I know (I know) that it's killing me (it's killing me)
And it's poisoning (it's poisoning) the best of me (the best of me)
What I say (what I say), I don't want to believe (want to believe)
So let me tell you more, tell you more
About the lies I lead

Review about Slow Burn Old Atreyu | Reviewer: Jake | 10/23/09
I have to agree with Julia on this, I'm still a fan, but I miss the screaming to. Sure I like some of their songs that don't have screaming. For example, 2 really good ones are "Ex's and Oh's" and "Becoming the Bull". Nonetheless I still want the Atreyu who sang songs like "Lip Gloss and Black", Bleeding Mascara", "The Crimson", "Her Portait In Black", "This Flesh a Tomb", and so forth. but all in all their still a good band.
I've listened to atreyu for 7 or 8 yrs now.. they're my favorite band. I still digg their older stuff a hell of a lot more than their new stuff. I think he should have stayed a screamo band, in my personal opinion. I miss his brutalityy, and his voice when he screamed close to the entire album, other than a few amazing melodic catchy stuff scattered on the album.. I could go on and on about Alex's voice, when he screams.. Also Brandon's, when he sings. I do wish they would make another album, at least one more, with new music, generally like their old music.. But whatever, I still love Atreyu.. And will support them, whether I like what their deciding to do with their music, or not.
oh and I noticed someone attempting to call someone else ignorant, but spelled it ignorent, which does infact make you the ignorant one.
haha& don't bash on other people because of their own personal opinions.. it's not that big of a deal.. & just because they don't like the new stuff, does not, in fact make that person any less than you, and shouldn't make them vulnerable, for seventh grade name-calling.. haha. kind of hillarious though. kudos.
I agree 98.9%, with Julia.
Atreyu, in my mind, is not atreyu without Alex's ammmmazing scream. I would give anything for another album like their older ones. His scream was euphoric, to me.
I could go onnn and onnnn about it.
Music Change | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/26/09
i will be honest with all the screamo fans, it takes more to sing something that really can get into someones mind than blowing thoughts most of the people dont understand. So be grateful because in their last album Lead Sail (Paper Anchor) 2.0 we can hear, more exquisite melodies, and harmonies,
hello wake up people! haven't you ever heard of an "opinion" express it. don't get all fancy just say what you like or not.honestly i like it its not too strong for my taste but if i we're to go to a concrert of theirs i would like there harder older stuff. its a little weak :|
wow | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/27/09
this song is so good
the amazing lyrical harmony between alex and brandon and the mix of clean and heavy guitar works are the great mix
oh and to julia
your the ingnorent comformist people that I despise
just because the decide to change their sound you instantly don't like them
and the reason why they changed their sound cuz alex wanted to be more of a verstile band and not to be known as a scremo band
so don't jude before you know the real reason....conformist swine
love it ! | Reviewer: anonymous | 2/14/09
Wow , so this is the first song I've heard from atreyu and I love it !! I've tried some of their other songs and I don't really like them , this song is the shit !! (Oh yeah just cause thier not screaming doesn't mean its not a good song !! Dumbass )
you are all on crack | Reviewer: julia | 2/5/09
wtf. when i heard this, my respect for atreyu flew out the fkn window. this is like 9 months later and im still pissed. yes i understand they can sing and change however they please but come on how much of their fan base did they lose cuz of their sudden "change in music"? i dont want to hear alex sing, i want to hear him scream. sure some of their songs aren't bad but they are NOT atreyu! what defines a band is when you hear a song and you know right away that its them. ^^^^this is not atreyu!! i dont even try to get into the song cuz i don't want to because i'll just realize moments later..."wow its saddening that there wont be any atreyu songs coming out anymore cuz this crap has taken its place." and then people say true fans would stay with atreyu. ok, no a true fan of atreyu would be pissed because the atreyu that they new, died. if it doesn't sound like them, then its not them.
My god, this song is really amazing, first thougt about thier new album... "oh my god, is this really this useless?" ... But after hearing this and "When two are one" ... oh my! Sooo really kickass songs! This one really really... really kick ass!=)
This song is so very different, but just so... Awesome... Deep meaning, catchy chorus... Wow, this song saves the CD in my opinion.. Wow great kick-ass song!
