Anatomy Of Being Alive

    "Anatomy Of Being Alive" is Thrown Away Thoughts first full-length album. Clocking in with 13 songs at just over an hour, it is a concept record about a man who has a vision in which he sees his own death, but not the time, and the thoughts that accompany that knowledge throughout his life. The mood of the album flows similarly, as it starts lightheartedly, but grows to be darker and heavier as it goes on. Musically it is a progressive post-hardcore piece that blends melody and intensity, employing strange structures that rarely have choruses, and raw production that focuses on the musicianship and not auto-tune and polished effects.

you've shared/kept a lifetime of regret i know a secret i never shared will be the end of all to come and now we will know none
2.
hello there, i would like to introduce myself i am your guiding star, your nature's mother lay with me for a moment and feel comfort its hard to find in this place in a world where children cry as pasttime did you feel guilt in taking away their happiness or was it you at all, for it is easier to blame confess, rest your sin against the sky fix your eyes directly into the sun what's done is done its far too late to come back now the crimes you committed were unforgiveable rest easy child as the blanket of dusk/sin falls upon you cover your face with your arms, tender skin don't be afraid for the stars glisten above you any light, any hope, however far away it is there for you, it is better than void tender skin splits

Mind Closed 04:14
did they hear you your fears they're flowing overboard these tides have turned and the waves have whispered you're the victim its much better if you didn't know the electromagnetic void between your mind and thoughts will the burden lessen if you shut out the fact your hanging onto a thread, the one that holds the closure between life and the other side did you feel some sort of shock as you were staring at the mountains and they turned to you and said "son you're going to die down here" you are going to be home soon

i've learned to lie and never really trust anything that i dont see with my own eyes take off our ugly faces, we dont need a disguise in making decisions to end a life i never wanted this how could i have wanted this here we are wasting our time again, feeling sorry for myself

there's something i've wanted to tell you i fear my time may be short lived there's something i need to tell you i fear my stay may be exstinguished here we are between there and where we want to be the clock's hands can be so cruel twisting our dreams, our realities like a staircase eternally spiralling the time it sleeps between our graveyard's dust its just a vision for eyes so sore the chemistry, the anatomy, the color's bleed the physics of a faded dream, falling apart you told me my life's just beginning, i'm telling you it's over you told me it's all just beginning, i'm telling you it's over it's over now the brackets, they bend, the seams split our fates are set i'll never sleep until you've met the asphalt's grit is there something i can do to make you forget the words your eyes have met, and the nothing's i've exhaled i may not be ready to let you go, so lets make hell out of the time i have left in your arms death looms on the other side of sore sleep even secrets slipping off tongues wont save us

let this observation be a glorified sacrifice to the snow to all we know, of the angel's dust that graces our ground theres a season of change once again upon us fortify your mind, don't be overcome by what we've done what you haven't done hide under the sun hide under your shadow and we'll be undone i heard it under your lisp not life but photosynthesis please dont go, please don't let me go winter said with her dying breath i've got one last chance to live so lay your head upon me we can make time and i'll show you the future when i return again and i'll show you the future if i live
9.
i'll meet you at the horizon, there we can wage our war i will agree with one thing, there was a neccesary change i'll meet you at the garden, there we can make our peace picking up eachothers pieces and keeping them so greedily it never mattered if all i wanted was nourishment, was love from you all i got is what i said i wanted all i got is what i said i wanted i, know all my knives, take care of them right, they'll stab your own side why, let them collide, make up your own mind, i'm on my own side i'm on my own side i'll meet you at the horizon, there we can wage our war i will agree with one thing, there was a neccesary change i'll meet you at the garden, there we can make our peace picking up eachothers pieces and keeping them so greedily to adapt was to grow farther from the seed escaping the dimensions of the bedroom walls
10.
by now you should know that your ignorance isn't bliss secrets never shown they will take you with them people always change but i know i never will or is it that i have already is, is it worth waking up to another day, another false inspiration?
11.
sunrays break off in starlight in iridescent trails your footsteps fade in the impact the sound crushes our ears street lights flicker, a fist fight a feud so stale you might remember this one time this one time from the city to the streets the echoes rushing to your ears in trusting nothing but deceit the child living in his fears i can't get your hair out of my mouth i can't get your thoughts out of my head ill hold you one last time, here in my arms ill sing you to sleep, this spiral leads this spiral leads down
12.
you've taken everything from me i'm left here as a soul to drift through the figments of your imagination this is our final stand our last breath our heart stopped into the abyss into our final sleep is this what i really wanted is this what i let happen what happened to me you've taken everything from me i'm left here as a soul to drift between the doors of your imagination existing only between your heart's flutter only adjacent to the chemistry, the anatomy of being alive
13.
in the after, my heart it lies in ruins statues have fallen and the towering pieces lay between my toes as i move them just to feel but feeling is imaginary in this place pain is only a fear and lust was entertainment when you move on you realize these things are only temporary i regret those secrets i shared we would have been happily ever after but in the end my cheek it only rested on the asphalts grit
