congratulations , i hate you !!!!

No one ever said that life was fair and I'm not saying that it should be
so knowing that you are what you want to be and I'm not comes as no surprise
but don't expect me to be happy for you
and don't smile at me and tell me things will work out for me too
I don't want your pity...I hate your pity

taste your vanity and its sweet bitterness
as you hide behind your veil of my stolen hopes and lost dreams
...you took them all...
I watched you steal my thoughts and had to see you smile

as you build your dreams on my shattered hopes
I'll look back on a day once loved and fantasize for tragedy

swallow your pride

beg me to make this easier and listen to my hopeless cries

suffer alone in emptiness
I lust to see you swallowed by the mess that you left in your wake
disgust lies deep within your empty gaze...

beg me to make this easier and listen as my hopeless cries
send stares into your meaningless eyes

my envy can't describe how I loathe you for having all the stars
leaving my eyes to marvel the sky knowing it should be mine
yet it's you I see wasting the dream that only I deserve
I'll tear off your face to see your smile.

as you build your dreams on my shattered hopes
I'll look back on a day once loved and fantasize for tragedy

swallow your pride

beg me to make this easier and listen as my hopeless cries
send stares into your meaningless eyes

this conversation is over

Artist: Alesana lyrics Album: On Frail Wings Of Vanity And Wax Year: 2006 Title: This Conversation Is Over lyrics

take everything away from me silent angel...

apathy cries out from your lungs, indifference reeks of fiction
time will tell how far you will go
I can't see why you'd run and hide excluding such complacence
as tears rain from bloodshot eyes

take everything away from me silent angel
leave me nothing to remind me of this time now lost

the air now reeks with the presence of your vile voice
as your smile masks the advance you keep
...I am not your trophy...
the air now reeks with the presence of your vile voice
as your smile masks the advance you keep
...I am not your trophy...

please try to say more carefully that you no longer need me
this back and forth is killing me
the only eyes you'll look into are those in your reflection
you are the means to my end

this conversation is over, it's over...
your truth is a deception meant to poison me

take everything away from me silent angel
leave me nothing to remind me of this time now lost

I can't seem to believe that you ever cared for me
...this conversation is over...
your empty words now drift away as fragile whispers
I saw the day when the fire left your eyes, your tongue fell still
your treason is silence...
take everything away from me silent angel
leave me nothing to remind me of this time now lost

early morning

Artist: Alesana Album: Try This With Your Eyes Closed Year: 2005 Title: Early Morning

Last night I forgot how the sound your voice whispered sweet
Goodbyes, your eyes left to die
I'm alone too understand why

Why not one more night
one last kiss good bye
my sweet love tonight
I hope the stars still spell out your name where you are...

Kiss my closings eyes
Help me sleep without you I'm so lost
Tonight I cry
Tell me why
I can't live without your warm embrace

Why not one more night
one last kiss good bye
my sweet love tonight
I hope the stars still spell out your name where you are...

I close my eyes and you are everything I see
Goodbye

Goodbye to you my love
I will forget you
I'll see you soon
Goodbye my love
Goodbye to you my love
I will forget you
Let me live

apology

Sweat drips in my eyes
screams of lust we cry
tonight you are everything
you're everything...
you're everything to me no more
as I wake from this perfect dream
I'll escape from Eden's walls
can I not stay and live this lie?
go away and I'll think only of myself

And to think that you would not be scared
or surprised if I'd severed all these ties
this is the end...

I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
help me get over you

I feel so numb to see this bitter end of beautiful illusions...
would this be the same?
broken pieces will not mend to save our past now...go away...

I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
help me get over you
one last false apology
help me get over you

Now we must let go
urgency overwhelms me as I must restrain my flood of tears
I refuse to be slave to your false beauty again

I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
help me get over you
one last false apology
help me get over you

In my mind blood drips from your eyes
a beautiful last goodbye

history of ALESANA

Although the band's members first began playing together in Baltimore, Maryland, the band officially formed in October 2004 in Raleigh, North Carolina. The name of the band was directly derived from Alice-anna St. which they lived on when playing in Baltimore, MD. Alice-anna St.(Alesana) is located in Fells Point, a neighborhood in Baltimore. Alesana was the first band to join Tragic Hero Records in 2005, and released their debut EP, Try This With Your Closed in June of that year. They toured in the United States, including an appearance at the Cornerstone Festival, in 2006, and added a new drummer and an additional guitarist/vocalist to their lineup.^[1] They followed with a full-length, On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax, in the summer of 2006. Many of the songs on the album take inspiration from Greek mythology.^{[citation needed]} In late 2006, they signed on to Fearless Records, which re-released their LP in March 2007 to mixed reviews.^{[2][3][4][5][6]}2007 saw the group play the entire Warped Tour. They are now set to play the whole Warped Tour 2008.^[7] In early 2008, On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax charted on the Billboard Heatseekers chart, peaking at #44.^[8] Alesana is done recording their new record titled, "Where Myth Fades To Legend". The album was released on June 3, 2008. Where Myth Fades To Legend is also the title of their headlining tour with Sky Eats Airplane, Our Last Night, Lovehatehero, and The Chariot. Shane Crump was recently revealed in the intro to Alesana's 4th video blog on purevolume to be a vocalist on the new album. Their new album, 'Where Myth Fades To Legend' was leaked on popular torrent sites on May 25, 2008 and released officially on June 3, 2008. All the female vocals done on the bands albums are done by guitarist Shawn Milke's sister. Alesana is touring as of November, and will head to the east side which includes New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. They will be performing at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey, December 3, 2008. Alesana will be performing with A Static Lullaby, Greeley Estates, Jamies Elsewhere, and many more.^{[citation needed]}

As with their previous album, the majority of the songs are related to fables and the members’ “Favorite Stories” compiled from The Brother’s Grimm. Except for “As You Wish”, that is based on the story The Princess Bride. The only song that isn’t based on anything is “All Night Dance Parties In The Underground Palace.” It was written by Shawn Milke, for his fiance, Naima. The album was produced by Steve Evetts and recorded in Los Angeles, California. The song “Seduction” is said to be the first single from Where Myth Fades To Legend, as well as the music video, which was recorded late summer ‘08. The track “A Most Profound Quiet” has been released on their MySpace page. The Single “Seduction” was leaked onto the internet with the title “Subscription” on the Warped Tour 2008 compilation. According to guitarist/vocalist Shawn Milke, “This is the Part Where People Scream” is influenced by the television show Heroes. “Obsession is Such an Ugly Word” features vocals from the entire band.

Since the release of the album, the band has gone through several line-up changes. On the 2008 Warped Tour, Shane Crump left, and the band was forced to play without bass. They were a bit off for a few days, until Jake Campbell (Twelve Gauge Valentine guitarist) became a temporary fill in. Just recently, they have announced Shane has come back, but Adam has left, and Jake is now the permanent rhythm guitarist.

Alesana headed out with Escape the Fate and A Skylit Drive in support of Chiodos and Silverstein starting on the 10th October. They have also been named along with Nine Inch Nails, Alice in Chains and The Bloodhound Gang to tour Australia with the Soundwave 2009 festival.

This spring in 2009 Alesana heads out with Drop Dead Gorgeous, Fear Before, I Set My Friends On Fire, and Fall From Grace.

On January 20, 2009 the music video for Seduction was officially released.
