Go see Billy Talent or Death From Above 1979, they're both better, they have actual lyrics, and variation.

I've always wondered; is it Alex Is On Fire or is it Alexis On Fire?

(I've never heard anything by the band but I'm well aware that it's commonly written as ONE WORD, but that's not the point of this post.)

i saw Alexisonfire a few weeks ago... I thought they were pretty awesome, but that's just my opinion. :roll: :thumbs:

...and this is me hanging on / i'd burn our initials in the sun if it would shine / anxiety chokes me like razor wire / if hate's in your heart man, you'll take what you're given / wake up / i'm not the only one / it's never goodbye / go ahead and play dead / if everyone's a casualty, then take your time, there ain't no trouble / these wounds they will not heal / ambition can be a tricky thing / what the hell do i know about rape anyway? / this is not what i hoped for / ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon / who will be there to tell me how stupid i am? / those living for death will die by their own hand / and it's me that I am spying on / pick up the pieces and live with the stars / hurry up and wait / things have never been so swell / they're always the ones who slowly drift / be great / ...and this is my world.

Once you figure out what they are and listen to the song many-a-time you can actually pick out what they're saying sooo well.

And if anyone has actually listened to 'Watch Out!' you would know that a majority of the CD is Dallas singing.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

Actually Death From Above have an awesome song metioning waterwings as well.

seriously, if you do love Alexisonfire, then check out Death From Above too, same vein of music, just easier to understand screaming. Oh and there's no guitarist.
