Emery is an American four-piece post-hardcore band from Rock Hill, South Carolina currently signed to both <span title="Unknown label" class="bbcode_unknown">Tooth &amp; Nail</span> and solid state records. Emery moved to Seattle, Washington in order to reach a more music centered scene. While the band resist being labeled a &quot;Christian band&quot;, the members are all Christian, exploring a wide variety of lyrical themes in their music.  Before signing with Tooth &amp; Nail, Emery recorded 2 EP's, The Columbus EEP Thee and The Weak's End demo that they used to attract attention from labels.

Like From Autumn to Ashes, Nora, and Hopesfall, Emery combines an alternative pop/rock foundation with elements of screamo and melodic hardcore. A Christian theme also runs throughout the band's music, which often examines the contrasts between Heaven/Hell, melody/brutality, and conventional singing/guttural screaming. Formed in South Carolina in 2001, the band originally included the talents of recent college graduates Toby Morrell (vocals, guitar), Matt Carter (guitar), Joel Green (bass), Devin Shelton (guitar), Josh Head (keyboards), and Seth Studley (drums).

Am                 F
I've noticed your design


               Dm
cause I'm not blind.


I'm like a cigarette


F                 G
Burning, burning every night.

Am                       F
But there's no ash that falls


                   Dm
There's only telephone calls

In the afternoon,

F                     G
Stretching through a thousand walls.


Am
So I'll pray


     F
For words to say


    Dm               F  G
To make these miles disappear.


        F           G
If you can't sleep alone,


           Em              Am
I'm better off, I'm better off

        F           G
If you can't sleep alone


Am                       F
If we're measuring with time,


                  Dm
In seconds or in lifetimes,

there's no difference,


        F              G
It's constantly just passing by.


Am                      F
But there's nothing at all,


               Dm
No valium or slow songs to relax my view,


      F               G
just you. Maybe your new perfume.


Am
So I'll pray


      F
For words to say


    Dm               F  G
To make these miles disappear.


        F            G
If you can't sleep alone


            Em             Am
I'm better off, I'm better off


        F              G
If you can't hear the song


              Em               Am
Then turn it off, then turn it off


        F               G
If you cast the first stone


                Em                   Am
Then throw them all, Then throw them all


    C
I start to sleep, but it's not over.


      Em                          Am
The second hand is moving slower now


                     G
I'd take it all back to start over again


C
Just between the rock and paper,


     Em
The scissors cut in so much deeper.


Am
I'd take it all back,


G             C---Em
To start over again,


C---Em C---Em C---Em
Again, again, again.

In A Win Win Situation

[Verse 1]
G#m
It's like a pencil with erasers at both ends
I want it all but we're dealing in percents
E
And these activities that you have engaged in
This is the politics of seeing you dance with him
G#m
We began with concluding remarks
Pick up the pieces and examine the parts
E
Your words always cut when they're clich?
But here's my knife because I came for the buffet

[Chorus]
G#m
This is the way it goes
With you a part of it
Nervously saying words
That oh-so-tightly fit
E
A mark beneath the chin (Uh Uh)
I've caught you once again
G#m
It's in the way you sell every word and phrase
And leaving me to know how much the meaning weighs
E
Saying that but meaning this (Uh Uh)
Using hands for emphasis
G#m           E
(Oh Ho)(Oh Ho)(Oh Ho)(Oh Ho)[repeat]

[Verse 2]
G#m
You'd like to think that you're the best part of me
         E
But I confess there is nothing left of you here (nothing left of you here)
G#m
These parallels and silly games
Hide your face and say the name
E
Say the name (say the name)

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
G#m B F#m                     G#m B F#m
      There's that smile again 
                   G#m   B        F#m
You fake it and I follow you right in
                   G#m B F#m
What a fool I've been 
To fall for it each time

[Chorus 2x]

delicately shading these grays and blues.

The Weakest

Intro Chords:Dm C G A#

Dm
Pardon me for saying so, but you look more pitiful
G
Than I had ever imagined, despite perfect fashion
Dm
And your photographs depict you so differently.
G
I always thought you would be some sort of match for me.

Dm        C      G      A#
So let's decide who can survive
Dm                C               G                 A#
Stomping feet and racing beats of hearts that don't ever slow.
Dm         C      G     A#       Dm       C
Then I'll write letters on white paper expressing,
    G          A#
My deep dissapointment. 
Dm                             G                                     Dm
Dripping where I stand from my watery hands, Hoping to get past the open bedroom door,
G                                                Dm
Where her clothes on the floor remind me of our conversation,
                       G
The feeling of slight hesitation
To turn out the light. 

Dm                                     G
Fourteen days now since we started to complicate the situation.
Dm                                  G
I'm not hiding I'm just buying some time for us to find the back door.

Dm      C       G           A#
We will come out when it's safe for us.
Dm         C
When it's safe for us..
G          A#          Dm C G A# Dm C G A#
When it's safe for us

Dm                                       G 
There's nothing left to say to excuse the way that I've behaved.
                  Dm
I still feel him gripping like a stain 
            G
To fabric, torn at every seam,
     A#      A
Then thrown away

Dm                                               C
Why should I take all the blame for my mistakes? You were there with every 
         G
promise made to break.
Dm                          
When did you become the one without regret?
C
Kill me. 
Burn me down.
          G
I swear I won't forget.
Dm       
When did you become the one without regret?
C
Kill me.
Burn me down.
           G
I swear I won't forget.

As Your Voice Fades

The Weak's End

You want to see me disappear 
          E
Well, it starts here 
B
Trying my best 
          G#m
Not to say what you don't want to hear 
C#m   E         B
But it's all right-
                                           G#m
You can cover your, cover your ears. 

               C#m
Face my fears 
                  E
Just once a year 
B
The feeling I get 
             G#m
When I want to return everything 
C#m    E        B
That's in my life 
                           G#m
I'll be busting at the seams. 

A                                F#m
It's a gamble either way 
If you play your cards 
       A                        F#m
It's another tidal wave 
                                      B
I'll be waiting with my eyes closed. 

Chorus: 
C#m                  A
No, I don't want to be 
                           F#m                          
The one who lives a lie 
                 B
But never knew it. 
                           C#m
We're just a world away from where 
           A                        F#m
I can feel like I've never felt before 
               B
So lock the door. 

You want to see me disappear 
Well, it starts here 
Trying my best 
Just to say what you don't want to hear 
But it's all right-- 
You can cover your, cover your ears. 

It's a gamble either way 
If you play your cards 
It's another tidal wave 
I'll be waiting with my eyes closed. 

Chorus: 
No, I don't want to be 
The one who lives a lie 
But never knew it. 
We're just a world away from where 
I can feel like I've never felt before 
So lock the door. 

You're the one who told me 
To pack up all my things

World Away

B      A
Take a look
 Em    
And see for yourself,


 G            A
What makes a man a man.
 B
And I
         A
I will stare
    Em
Back to the life that I loved
  G          A
Maybe you won't forget...

Who I am.

What Makes A Man A Man

Verse 1:

I'm the one who never makes it out of the cave
     Cm                Fm         A#               Cm

Baby, you come around and take it all away

It's true, I'd do anything for you

She asks if this is cool
            G#
(What'd you say?)
I played it like a fool
    Fm

It's like I said before,

I could die tonight for just one kiss more

Of a way to pull myself back to shore

          Cm           Fm
It's your face I can't take,
       A#                 Cm
And my knees are about to buckle
         (A#)    Cm

The night you walked through my door

Every time my eyes are closing there is just one word
Fm               Cm
Once it's spoken my eyes open
G#      G
And I'm yours to serve


Verse 3:

Cm              Fm       A#             Cm       (A#)
When your world tries to blow itself up from the inside
Cm     Fm    A#          G    
I will dig a foxhole for two
       Cm        Fm     A#                  Cm
So you know that I will always be there for you

And maybe you could find a love for me too

Closed Eyes Open Hands

Cadd9      Am                                     Cadd9
Time is running out as you die, die, die in this bed not making a sound.
       Am       Em       G          Dm        Em                     G
It has all come crashing down to be here, and watch you breathe your last.
   Dm          Cadd9         Em
So helpless to stop you from slipping away so fast.

                           Cadd9
Oh, God, are you listening now? 
        Am                                          Cadd9
As this cancer dances through her, and then takes a bow.
   Am         Em        G
It won't disappoint the crowd,
      Dm          Em
whose words are a curse,
     G                Dm
as I hear them one-by-one.
       Cadd9    Em
Please pull the string, and I come undone.

Am              Dm                 Cadd9             Em      Am
    I know this.   I failed to say.      I'm sinking by your side.
                  Dm            Cadd9   Em                           Am
You're worth this.   I wouldn't trade a day to not have gone through this
        Dm             Cadd9
So many days I've been blind.
          Em              Am
I want to stop and rewind.
             Dm        G                       Cadd9
Kick off our shoes and dance with the ghost of you.
          Am                                    Cadd9
Who could tease me and leave me begging for the abuse?
           Am   Em    G               Dm           Em            G
You're the only one I knew that could tame me, and make me who I am.
    Dm                Cadd9               Em                   
But now, there's self-blaming and there's nothing left of all my plans.


Am              Dm                 Cadd9             Em      Am
    I know this.   I failed to say.      I'm sinking by your side.
                  Dm            Cadd9   Em                           Am
You're worth this.   I wouldn't trade a day to not have gone through this
        Dm             Cadd9
So many days I've been blind.
          Em              Am
I want to stop and rewind.
             Dm        G                  
Kick off our shoes and dance...
             G
Let's dance again.
                  G
We'll turn up our sleeves.
            Cadd9    Am
I know just where to begin.
G                   Cadd9
Dance, let's dance again.
         Dm   Em  G     Am Dm Em   G   Am 
We could find ourselves before this happens...

      Am                Cadd9
These words of mine are trite and so cliche.
Am                       Cadd9
Still we find a place in everything.
     Am                Cadd9            Em            G
It's just to break the silence that has been crushing me.
Am            Cadd9
Half of me is dead, already gone.
Am                Cadd9
Half is screaming everyone is wrong.
Am      Cadd9  Em                         Cadd9
Finally asking now, will you just hear me out?
         Dm     Am
This was all my fault.
               Cadd9           Dm           G Em
You brought me death, and it's everything I wanted.
         Am            Dm                G
It's the wrong side of fear that kept me out.

C#5                             A#5
Your hands were warm on my face. Now they're cold, pushing away

F5     G#5
Slowly now

Pushing me away


Verse 2:

I've got this big, big hole in my heart
           G#5                   C#5
I wanted (I wanted) to put you in
             A#5                          C#5 C5
But for some reason you just wouldn't fit        You just wouldn't fit

Lust can give a man so many regrets

Ships don't sink if they have wind in their sails

But if the wind fails is there hope for me (I guess your love, was only as safe..)
C5             A#5              C5
I thought your love was safe as promise you made(..as the promise you made...)

Now I am drowning in your shallow sea; I swim
(you are the storm, the wind and the waves, you break me in two and toss me away)
F5                          D#5 C#5
You are the waves that toss me in.
(I fell apart when I fell for you)

C#5                                  A#5
How can I float above the water that fills my lungs?
(you are the water filing my lungs, killing me softly without a word)
           F5             D#5 C#5
Killing me softly without a   word.
(Without a word)

In Shallow Seas We Sail

Intro: F (fingerpick)      Am  F  Bm7

Verse 1:
Am                                         C
I fell in love with the world, she gave me everything that I deserved
        Dm                    F                G
(I had) all that I wanted and more right in my hands
      E
(but some things just never last)
Am                                       C
She ran away with the sun (I guess), the moon and the stars must have followed along
           Dm                        F             G
'Cause I'm here in the cold and the dark until she returns
E
(deny because the truth really hurts)


Chorus: 
F                         Am                                     F
The universe is crumbling tonight, and I'm not sure if we can survive
F                                 Dm       E
You left me here with nothing at all, with my back against the wall

Verse 2: (same chords as verse 1)
The church and the priests they all gather around
They tie up my hands but they won't hear me out
No, I'm not the one, I'm not the one to blame (murder me just the same)
She hung her promises (I took the bait)
She sold us out (Just for fortune and fame)
No, she's not the one, she's not the one to save
(the fool that fell into her game)

Chorus

Bridge:
F
So is this what it takes to seperate the craving from the purpose
Am
Measured by success and not the motives of the heart
           F
And we are crushed beneath the weight of all the pressure
                   E
that is put on our shoulders but
            F                   C
We could be honest, confess our weakness
            D                 A    E             Am     C    F    E
Give up our innocence for the blame, we could be saved

Finish with chorus

Crumbling

We Do What We Want

He's never gonna go away
      D#          G#
So we sit and we wait
         D#          G#
For the curtains to fall
               D#            G#
And there are words we could use
           Bb            G#
But should never say at all
        D#    G#        D#   G#
But you do, you do, you do
    D#    G#       B   Bb
You do, you do, you do

    Eb                                  
We met in the courtyard
         F#
Where no one would notice
     B
Two kids contemplating
     G#
All high school had shown us

       Eb
And I told you I loved you
       F# 
And I knew you believed it
       B
As I quited my conscience
        G#
Hoping you wouldn't see it

      Eb    F#    B G#
But I do, I do, I do
 Eb      F#   C#
I do, I do, I do

D#             F#                 B                
I just want to be with you tonight
D#                  F#                    B                       
The mood is set and we're here by candlelight
D#                 F#                  
I paid my dues so don't be rude
      B              
Stop putting up a fight
   D#                  F#          B
I just want to get with you tonight

        Eb     F#
But "No" they say
               B
What doesn't kill you 
             G#
Makes you stronger
            Eb        F#
But the questions remain
            B                 G#
Until you can't take it any longer

    B      G#        Bb  F#
But I am still so young
       B     C#          D      D#
And I didn't know I could be so dumb
     B        D       D#      A
And you your still so young
      B    C#         D        D#
But now I know that you're so dumb

He's never gonna go away
I'm never gonna go away

D#             F#             B                
I just want to be with you tonight
   D#                      F#            B                       
The mood is set and we're here by candlelight
   D#               F#                    
I paid my dues so don't be rude
B                                     
Stop putting up a fight
D#                  F#                    B
I just want to, I just want to, I do I do I, I, I, I,
 Eb     F#     B     G#
i do, i do, i do
 Eb     F#     G#
i do, i do, i do 


So what about you?
D#
Never satisfied
F#
I'm never satisfied
D#
Never satisfied
F#
So let them all fall Side by side
D#
Side by side
                       F#
One more will fall tonight
                       D#
One more to promised lies
                                   F#
The morning brings the dreadful light
       F#
So you can see you have fallen
D#
Side by side, Let them fall
F#        B
Side by side, Let them fall
D#
Side by side, Let them fall
F#        B
Side by side.

Don't Bore Us Get To The Chorus

Ten Years

VERSE:
Em                           C
 We've all got something to say,
         G                       D/F#
 when we open our mouths we have someone to blame
Em                     C
 We all have demons to face.
     G                  D/F#
 Situations evolve into something we can't explain


Fill in: Em-C-G-D/F#-

Em                        C
 It's like a thorn in my mind
          G                     D/F#
 Digging deeper and deeper and killing the love that it finds
Em                       C
 My hearts a complex machine
         G
 When it breaks it takes more
          D/F#                C
 than the doctors and technology to


CHORUS:
      G
 Fix me, can you fix me?
D                         Am
 I've been waiting so long  to feel this heartbeat
C       G                 D
 Will we  ever really believe?
                           Am                             C
 We're just caught in the thought that we're said to be free


VERSE: same chord pattern

Last night, a gift to repay
With a handful of money, and words we can say
There is no proper remark to be made that can change
and determine who we really are

CHORUS: (Em-C-G-D/F#-)

Fix me, can you fix me?
I've been waiting so long to feel this heartbeat
Will we ever really believe?
We're just caught in the thought that we're said to be free


BRIDGE:
    C
 Screaming at the top of my lungs
          Am
 Does it make me understand what you've done?
           F
 How could I ever question you?
      Bb
 How could I ever doubt what you do?
 C
 Maybe this will tear me apart
      Am
 But maybe I'll go back to the start
     F                             Bb
 And honestly I can't believe that this is really happening


CHORUS: (C-G-D-Am-)

Fix me, Jesus, fix me
I've been waiting so long to feel this heartbeat
Will we ever really believe?
We're just caught in the thought that we're said to be free
Fix me, Father, fix me
I've been waiting so long to feel this heartbeat
Will we ever really believe?
We're just caught in the thought that we're said to be free

Fix Me

A             G#        D#
    So is it courage or strength
        F            F2      F3
and is that what I'm waiting for?
A          G#          D#
If I could just kill myself
          F    F2       F3
would it also kill the remorse?
A            G#       D#
I wanted so badly to catch a break
        F     F2     F3
but I'm only breaking down.
A                    G#
I'm still here and standing
            D#
but if it's up to me
   F  F2  F3      A G#       D#
I don't think I'll be hanging around

Chorus:
    E
The drink slips down my throat
        G#
and the burn cures nice and slow.
        F                                  D#
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see
                       E
The only parts left of me
Now, here I am
        C#(h)
Just a kid without a better plan.
               G#                              F
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most.

I never got to see the west coast

A C# A C# A C# D#
A C# A C# A C# D#

A          G#               D#
Spent my nights just asking why
      F        F2          F3
Would God let me become like this.
A        G#             D#
Was it a joke from the start?
       F            F2   F3
Was I suppose to laugh more at it?
A               G#                        D#
And everyone's quoting their teachers and preachers
          F           F2   F3
but their words make me feel so alone.
A      G#                     D#
No one ever says that they've had those thoughts
        F      F2   F3
in the middle of the night.
A      G#                    D#
No one ever admits that they wanted to take their life.

Chrous

A C# A C# A C# D#

              C#(h)
But it's the life I dreamed I'd have
     C
The love I've found in my grasp
     B                        A#
The words I could share with someone.
      C#(h) 
Those thoughts keep the breath in my lungs
       C
That tomorrow my hope will become
    B                         A#
to feel a love that can't be undone.
     A       G#        D#
And save a wretch like me.

We write a thousand pages, they're torn and on the floor.
                        E                                  C#m
Headlights hammer the windows, we're locked behind these doors.
                                                Abm
And we are never leaving, this place is part of us.

When I'm nervous or when I'm healthy.

The scenery's all drawn.

They hang here from the walls dear,

Painting pictures, bleeding colors,

Blanket the windows.

You've got the map come get to me.

Let the walls have their say. [x6]

C#m                    E

C#m                E
And this television drowns the only source.
C#m                      E
Wake from these dreams of you in my arms.
C#m               E                     C#m    E    C#m  E
Go to the staircase where you hold my heart.

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

[intro x2]
A  E  D A

A                                        E
when there's no place you feel at home
              D                               A
and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

when you get yourself depressed
                      D                   A
because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot

[chorus]

E D                 A

Overreacting

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.
