Apology
Alesana · Punk Goes Acoustic 2 [2007]
Sweat drips in my eyes
Screams of lust we cry
Tonight you are everything
You're everything
You're everything to me
No more as I wake from this perfect dream
I'll escape from Edens walls
I can not stay and live this lie
For I must think only of myself
And to think that you would not be scared or surprised
If I had severed all these ties
This is the end
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
Help me get over you
I feel so numb to see this bitter end of beautiful illusions
Broken pieces will not mend to save our past now
It has come to this one last kiss
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
Help me get over you
One last false apology
Help me get over you
Now we must let go
Urgency overwhelms me as I must restrain my flood of tears
I refuse to be slave to your false beauty again
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
Help me get over you
One last false apology
Help me get over you
In my mind
Blood drips from your eyes
A beautiful last goodbye
Screams of lust we cry
Tonight you are everything
You're everything
You're everything to me
No more as I wake from this perfect dream
I'll escape from Edens walls
I can not stay and live this lie
For I must think only of myself
And to think that you would not be scared or surprised
If I had severed all these ties
This is the end
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
Help me get over you
I feel so numb to see this bitter end of beautiful illusions
Broken pieces will not mend to save our past now
It has come to this one last kiss
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
Help me get over you
One last false apology
Help me get over you
Now we must let go
Urgency overwhelms me as I must restrain my flood of tears
I refuse to be slave to your false beauty again
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
Help me get over you
One last false apology
Help me get over you
In my mind
Blood drips from your eyes
A beautiful last goodbye

Released on the 2007 compilation Punk Goes Acoustic 2, 'Apology' is a stripped-down acoustic rendition of Alesana's signature power pop anthem. The track showcases the band's signature blend of melodic hooks and energetic vocals, reimagined without the heavy distortion of their studio recordings. As part of the punk rock compilation series, the version highlights the song's underlying energy and emotional core, serving as a bridge between their earlier punk-influenced work and their subsequent pop-rock evolution. The recording remains a staple of their discography, often cited by fans for its catchy chorus and the band's dynamic vocal delivery.
