LYRICS: Awake

WIDE AWAKE, A GUILTY CONSCIOUS NEVER SLEEPS…
I’D LOVE TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID…
BENEATH THE TIDE OF BROKEN DREAMS,
UNEASY LIE THE MEMORIES…
A SWELL THAT SEEMS TO RISE ABOVE YOUR HEAD…

DON’T LOOK SURPRISED… TO FIND…
THE ONE TRUE LOVE YOU LEFT FOR DEAD,
WITH BULLETS FOR THE GUN HELD TO YOUR HEAD….

(CHORUS)
DON’T CLOSE YOUR EYES (DON’T EVEN BLINK AT ALL)
DON’T CLOSE YOUR EYES…IT SEEMS TO ME…
THE MORE YOU LIE AWAKE…THE TRUTH YOU CAN DENY…
DON’T CLOSE YOUR EYES….JUST…HIDE

SO BLIND, THE WINDOWS OF THE SOUL DENIED…
I’D LOVE TO SEE THE PICTURES IN YOUR HEAD…
PAINTED ON AN ANGELS FACE, DROWNING INSECURITIES…
A FINGER TO BLAME, NOTHING HAS CHANGED
TAKE A LOOK AROUND AND NOW YOUR DEAD…

DON’T CLOSE YOUR EYES (DON’T EVEN BLINK AT ALL)
DON’T CLOSE YOUR EYES…IT SEEMS TO ME…
THE MORE YOU LIE AWAKE…THE TRUTH YOU CAN DENY…
DON’T CLOSE YOUR EYES….JUST…HIDE…

CLOSE YOUR EYES… SAY GOOD NIGHT…
WHAT WOULD SAY,  AS YOUR FOLDING YOUR HANDS?
OR ARE YOU LOST IN YOUR MIND WITH NO LIGHT?

(CHORUS)
DON’T CLOSE YOUR EYES (DON’T EVEN BLINK AT ALL)
DON’T CLOSE YOUR EYES…IT SEEMS TO ME…
THE MORE YOU LIE AWAKE…THE TRUTH YOU CAN DENY…
DON’T CLOSE YOUR EYES….JUST…HIDE

LYRICS: Smile and Wave

ARE YOU READY TO EXPLODE?
AFTER THE SACRIFICE
WIPE THIS SHIT OFF MY FACE – SUCH DISGRACE
I’VE BEEN STRIPPED AND BEAT DOWN WITH A GUN TO MY HEAD
BUT WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES ANOTHER OPENS
I’LL FIND SHELTER FROM THE RAIN

(CHORUS)
NO MORE WALKING AWAY
AS THE SUN BEGINS TO FADE I’M THINKIN’
TOMORROW COMES AND THE WORLD WAS GONE
WOULD YOU REGRET WHAT YOU HAVE DONE OR WOULD YOU SMILE AND WAVE?

ON THE LEVEL OF MY LIFE
NO NEED TO JUSTIFY
HOW BLEED OR HOW I PLAY – EVERYDAY
NO METHOD TO THE MADNESS I’M IN
CROSS MY LINE AND YOU WIND UP BROKEN
TIME TO TAKE BACK EVERYTHING

(CHORUS)
NO MORE WALKING AWAY
AS THE SUN BEGINS TO FADE I’M THINKIN’
TOMORROW COMES AND THE WORLD WAS GONE
WOULD YOU REGRET WHAT YOU HAVE DONE OR WOULD YOU SMILE AND WAVE?

NO MORE SENSE OF FAILURE
I AM JUSTIFIED
NO MORE HANDS TO HOLD ME DOWN
IT’S TIME FOR ME TO FLY

(CHORUS)
NO MORE WALKING AWAY
AS THE SUN BEGINS TO FADE I’M THINKIN’
TOMORROW COMES AND THE WORLD WAS GONE
WOULD YOU REGRET WHAT YOU HAVE DONE OR WOULD YOU SMILE AND WAVE?

His Name Was Yesterday
CD: Witness to a Dying World
Released 2009
Available at:
iTunes
Amazon.com
www.hisnamewasyesterday.bigcartel.com

LYRICS:
I just can't stand what you have all become
It's sickening
I watch you go but I can't follow you 
Down that road again.
I've lost every fucking reason
To keep on driving on
I've seen so much deception 
That I trust in no one
I'm here, but I'm lost 
Within uncertainty
I stand, Undone
And trapped within despair
I just can't stand what you have all become 
It's sickening
I watch you go but I can't follow you 
Down that road again
There is no fucking reason
Not one I understand
Why you would allow this
To slip right through your hands
I stand, apart
From all the lies you breed
This need, undone 
No longer poisons me
I just can't stand  what you have all become
It's sickening
I watch you go but I can't follow you
Down that road again
I can't fucking stand 
What you have all become
I watch you go
But I won't follow 
Now I am turning
From this path of ours
Shedding this skin
Burning this world of ours
There is no fucking reason
To keep pursuing this
There is no fucking reason
To keep forgiving you

His Name Was Yesterday
CD: Witness to a Dying World
Released 2009
Available at:
iTunes
Amazon.com
www.hisnamewasyesterday.bigcartel.com

LYRICS:
Now that every Idol you've built
Has brought you nothing
And only sorrow and guilt
Are left within you
You traded us all
For a dark addiction
You buried us all
For a sick obsession
And I stood by you
I brought you through
I gave so much
For you
For what it's worth
This will be the last time I come back for you
For what it's worth
This will be the last time I save you
Now that everything we've built
Lies black and burnt
And all that we loved
Now lies in ruin
All the life we've held
Is ending here
And everything we've done
Means nothing now
I stand amongst
A dying world
Surrounded by those
Who deny it still
For what it's worth
This will be the last time I come back for you
For what it's worth
This will be the last time I save you
Why Save You
For what it's worth
This will be the last time I come back for you
For what it's worth
This will be the last time I save you
The Last Time
I save you

His Name Was Yesterday
CD: Self Titled
Released 2010
Available at:
iTunes
Amazon.com
www.hisnamewasyesterday.bigcartel.com

LYRICS:
I know that you would like to see me fail
But I am not breaking at all 
Survived this hell, survived the loss
Never surrendered I paid the cost
These are the time of giving in again and again
Through it all I carry on 
Although it never ends
This fate seems empty yet again
I climb from where I fell
I won't live in this hell
I will overcome again and again
I know that you would like to see me fail
But I will prevail
Make mistakes get up again
Live or die a means to an end
This time we won't give in again and again
Find hope in these words
To rise above or run
Where will you go
How can you gro
If you don't try
Find hope in these words
Again and again fight

His Name Was Yesterday
CD: Self Titled
Released 2010
Available at:
iTunes
Amazon.com
www.hisnamewasyesterday.bigcartel.com

LYRICS:
In the wreckage I find these pieces of life
That were once so valuable
They're just enough to believe in
To concede to, to forgive you
One more time
It's getting harder to keep on pretending
That I feel anything
But still I am haunted 
By words I did not say
And a life I gave away
It's time that I find where promises hide
Dear God they once meant everything
This heavy burden erased me
The darkness replaced me
And took control 
Don't pretend to understand
Don't pretend to know
Buried Alive by the madness inside
Silent consumed by flame
Don't pretend you understand
Don't pretend you understand
As my time slips away
I see no more tomorrow
There is only sorrow.

No More Tomorrow

Playing with rock and metal icons, getting on board with Indie Record Label ‘Catch 22 Records’, Worldwide distribution of their self titled 
full length release are all huge accomplishments regarding His Name Was Yesterday. Some artists would find such things sufficient 
enough, accomplishing dreams in their own right. Is it enough for His Name Was Yesterday?

“Absolutely not”, says vocalist John Green. “We’ve had a taste of what we can do on a big stage by performing alongside some of rocks
major acts in support of their headlining shows and on the Jagermeister stage of Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. We’re 
aiming to hit the road alongside a national headlining band or with a festival similiar to that of ‘Mayhem. Keep making progress, keep
pushing forward. That’s what HNWY has always been about, and always will be about.”

His Name Was Yesterday’s continued success throughout the national scene has gained them critical acclaim touring independently in 
support of their Self Titled full length record produced by Mike Hatalak & Judah Moses Nero at DWS Studios (It Dies Today - Lividity,
STEMM - Bloodscent).
