Atreyu

Atreyu is an American metalcore band from Orange County, California, formed in 1998. The band consists of vocalist/lyricist Alex Varkatzas, guitarists Dan Jacobs and Travis Miguel, bassist Marc McKnight and drummer/vocalist Brandon Saller. Originally named Retribution, they changed their name to "Atreyu" (after the character of the same name from the fantasy book/movie The Neverending Story), when they found out that another band from Hemet, California had already been using Retribution. They have released five studio albums: Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses, The Curse, A Death-Grip on Yesterday, Lead Sails Paper Anchor, and Congregation of the Damned. more »

He bends and he breaks 
If you kiss it will take away
His passion, his pain, his brain

he excels
A thousand black flowers explode 
Into butterflies as they're away

Rip them, I'll take them
Burn to coals as they crush 
And leave nothing that
Resembles a soul of a man

See him numb, see him crushed 
See him numb, see him crushed
Rip them, I'll take them
Burn to coals as they crush 

And leave nothing that
Resembles a soul of a man
Leave him numb, leave him crushed 
Leave him numb, leave him crushed

Just a fire inside one too many times
He's burning over and out now he fails 
Up against the raging tides 
No more fights 
Everything you ever wanted to see 
I see it in his eyes 
One more time, one more time

My time to test the waters 
My hands feel like they're rusting away 
So obvious, so numb, I can leave before the slaughter 
I'll stay here, as long as you let me

Decisions, then, made obvious, and while they're in tune
Where I started, I'll stay there 
When I'm finished 
I'll wither away

Rip them, I'll take them
Burn to coals as they crush 
And leave nothing that
Resembles a soul of a man

See him numb, see him crushed 
See him numb, see him crushed
Rip them, I'll take them
Burn to coals as they crush 

And leave nothing that
Resembles a soul of a man
Leave him numb, leave him crushed 
Leave him numb, leave him crushed
