Marianas Trench - Alibis Lyrics
From the scrapes and bruises
To the familiar abuses
I'll kick and scream but it never changes anything
I could spill my guts out
And I almost missed it
But nobody said that this was gonna be easy
This is not the man I hoped to be
And I'm just trying to stop the bleeding
I don't know how to word it
I just started to deserve it
And all my, all my faces are alibis
And me, I'm half the man I wanted to be
I don't know the words but I'll hum along
There's nothing famillar here anymore
To anyone or anything left to feel alive
And I still taste that sickness
And it makes me crazy without it at best
But I'm in the same place I used to be
But I'm trying harder not to be
This is not the man I hoped to be
And I'm just trying to stop the bleeding
I don't know how to word it
I just started to deserve it
And all my, all my faces are alibis
And me, I'm half the man I wanted to be
So what am I? What am I? So what am I?
And all my, all my faces are alibis
This is not the man I hoped to be
And I'm just trying to stop the bleeding
I don't know how the words go
I just started not to say no
Don't want it, don't get it
I know you won't regret it
Don't surface, don't surface
And I feel so damn worthless
Another day is gone and all my faces are alibis
All my faces are alibis
And me, I'm half the man I wanted to be

Marianas Trench Alibis Comments
Relapse is a funny thing... calming and cripplingly lonely at the same time
SO HERES ANOTHER DAY I SPEND AWAY FROM YOU
I’m in a really dark place and I haven’t cut in over a year and haven’t burned in 6 months but I’m struggling not to relapse and I don’t know what to do and I feel so fucking worthless and I just want to stop feeling. Stop living.
Self harmed for 5 years. Clean for 1 year. It gets better.
Such a good song!!! First time hearing it after only listening to EmmaNoodles cover (very good much recommend)
It's not only the girls
Still on this song 🔥😢
Dissociation until you forget who you are
Does anybody know the name of the song played at the very end?
The first time I cut. I blamed it on my cat. When my mom found those messages to my friend about how it was really me cutting. Her and her abusive boyfriend held my hands down took off my black nail polish, made me remove all my black makeup and clothes, forced my hand down and painted my nails pink, took away my mp3 player because they said rock and metal music makes you cut, I was 16. Now I'm 26 going on 27 this year. Yes it's been 8 years since I last cut myself. But I've been through my parents divorce, sexual abuse, my mother's abusive boyfriend, battling addiction, and dealing with daily chronic pain that a condition I got screwed with causes me, I try so hard to not cut but when you IV inject your drugs that's a form of cutting to me.
I've been cutting myself with a razor I broke out of a small pencil sharpener for the past seven days now. I have to say, I regret it... I've become addicted to seeing myself bleed and feeling the pain. I'm in fifth grade and am eleven years old. I have told my friends not to cut for the past year now, but doing it my self? When I was nine, I told myself I would never cut and that it seemed to painful of an act to do. I wish I was still that innocent. Now I'm contemplating suicide and cutting. I just want that same feeling of confidence again...
do you have the lyrics
78% of suicides are by males. Stop saying it’s a girl problem because it’s clearly not. Start helping boys out more because they need it too
i hate it when this randomly pops into my head at school and then im liek NO NOT NOW and it continues to play in my head and i end up trying to get a different song stuck in my head an of course some random kids show theme song ends up getting stuck in my head for the rest of the day
yup
thats
my
life
I'm scared. I bit myself today. I'm really struggling with life right now. I'm alone and scared of myself
I think the hardest part of this song is that so few men are willing to realize that they are broken and wish someone would just accept that. I wish I could play this song for my highschool self and let that old version of me realize that maybe things don't get easier, but there is power in trying, and that you aren't alone in that struggle. Since I think the most common thing for emotionally vulnerable men is that we feel alone, and that we can't admit those things because no one wants to even begin to hear it.
Thank you for that. It's refreshing to see a positive reply here on youtube.
@Corey Tucker That's honestly relatable, but no problem!
Still means a lot. I'm almost 30 now. And know people who mask emotions that match this song well. Because being an adult with scars from self harm is a very different world, one that I don't think people stop and think about enough.
@Corey Tucker That's honestly true. I wish people kept that in mind a lot more.
Dark Deception I think so few people who want to judge others view how hard it is to survive your pains, but have to go to the doctor and act like you aren't covered in hundreds of scars from self harm. And hope beyond hope that they don't report you and have your freedom taken away. The most honest part of self abuse is knowing that there are latent consequences for what you've done, and figuring out how to live with them as you grow older.
the emotion in his voice made me cry
STOP CUTTING YOURSELF because your future self will remmeber what was once temperary. Yes I use to At 12 but now I'm ok at age 21 with 2 beautiful children I never thought id have.
I pray all the viewers but me have a good life and live a very long life
18 days clean 💕
Good job buddy! I've been cutting for seven days now, so good job.
If this isn't how I'm feeling then I don't know what is
IM NOT OK
"I don't know how to word it
I just started to deserve it."
Damn, relatable as hell
Lost Paige is a conceptual song about a romantic relationship between myself and a page. It’s a love story told from the perspective of myself and a pen. https://soundcloud.com/themikeophone/lost-paige-prod-by-young-belushi

Why do I just feel so damn worthless?
This song is so beautiful! It made me cry♥
Listening to this song on a sunday so loud that all my neighbours and family can hear it clearly...
My dad wont shut up until he sees me cry. Well, he gets his wish everytime.
Kyra Macdoll stay strong, i hope you're in a better situation now.
Even when I'm happy, its fake. lol
Still my favourite Mtrench song. I'm so proud of how far Josh has come, but I always come back to this one.
if you are here and are feeling low or depressed i am hoping that you feel better:)
tb to when i was emo lol
watching this exactly 6 years after it was uploaded
bunch of drama queen on these comments talking bout there cutting problems
I was going through a really toxic relationship when I found this song. Thank god I did, I don't know if I'd still be here. Now, two years after being in that relationship, I come back and listen to this song and it gives me shivers. This song has helped me through so much.
*familiar I love this song!!!!!!!
i remember being younger and looking at the comments and thinking id never make it. but here i am. i made it. and i know you will too my loves.
I'm not depressed or anything like that, but whenever I'm feeling down or alone, fix me era marianas trench songs always make me feel full and content, even when nothing is going right. they've always been very important to me <3
Recently relapsed from almost a year clean 😫
I did that only a month ago. I'm now like a week clean
Relapses are normal... nobody is perfect ❤️ you got this you can do it
fuck. this is so relatable it's sad. I love Marianas trench so much. this song is hitting me in the feels like a brick. omfg.
Well, I relate to this song too much. :')
You've been gone for months but I miss everything throughout the 6 years I had you. I still have your perfume and when I spray your sweater with it before going to sleep without a goodnight I am brought to tears immediately.
I miss you.
You fuck me up everytime the ending comes on! very annoying to have another mt song in your credits.... thought it was autoplay 😡
I freaking love MT...
This is my favorite song by them
Ugh.. Right in the feels, man...
Which part did his sister sing? Because a part of it was until by his sister
right like that's why i'm here too
love this song
I'm not depressed, I'm not really capable of feeling a whole range of emotions. Or any emotions, most often. I just do this, self injury, for the feeling, the pain, the blood, the rush, the knowledge that I am alive. That I can still bleed and I am not made of metal underneath. As someone who lived most my life as a weapon, this lets me know that I am human, I am allowed weakness, and like other humans, I need to find the will to fight through it.
Socially-Inept Ner i can relate to this
Nevermind.. Diagnosed with depression 2 days ago...
Thats bullshit
idk why but it feels good being depressed and to cut myself. i'm fucked in the head xD...
I have a whole memo in my phone that I write when I feel like just dieing or doing suicide then I read it over the next day saying to myself you should do it Noone needs you your mom takes you down to your bedroom for a reason she says she doesn't want to be your mom because of you your brother is a perfect angel and being verbally abused doesn't help then I look at a picture of my friends and I think wow I don't deserve you guys although I'm 11 I dated a boy for a year and he made me happy is was very protective and I could tell him anything we didn't kiss or anything we were really good friends but I didn't deserve him either then I looked at my baby cousin and thought you are my world I think I have depression but you can see me slap a smile right when I walk outside to the open world
Babe, you're still young. You'll be okay. So much can change in a short amount of time
I was at an acting group thing and I was just thinking a lot and broke down crying, I am stuck wondering now what did they think after I let down the fake smile that's my mask I wear through every day
I love this song so much, one of my favourite songs by them! I'm so excited to see them in November
Marco's half the man he wanted to be 😈
Stay alive, stay alive for me. You will die but now your life is free, take pride in what is sure to die |-/
Kylee Lucas I didn't cone here for top I came here for mt as did everyone else lmao
Kylee Lucas truce |-/
Clique |-/
first MT song I ever heard
What's the point on being sad?- some ppl say...
They don't know what it feels when it hits you... I'm 13 years old and I've been cutting and being depressed since I was 11. They tell me, "If you told your parents, they could help you" My mom saw me when I first cut and she cried for a minute or so and then she just got angry at me like she always does. Then she told to my dad and he didnt give a fuck about it. Since then I just cry myself to sleep thinking about how pointless and such a waste of space and oxigen I am. How I am so useless, how I was just a mistake or thats how people make me feel... I only cut when I'm really fucked up and I really need it, and then I totally regret it but not for the pain I felt but bc I knew that the next day I had to put a smile on my face and face all the critics that my friends may think, they must think like me. They must think that I am a fat, ugly, useless person... Every day I look in the mirror and say to myself "Why am I even alive? Should I be breathing right now? Beacuse I definetly dont deserve it..." I feel so broken inside, now I know how feeling dead feels like. I'm sorry for having to write this but I needed to get this out, at least once before I go back to my stupid life. Thx
The MrDoughnutGamer I have suicidal thoughts and I self harm idk what to do.. I feel like killing myself and I've attempted suicide before 24 times in 2 weeks
Why? There has to be a reason right?
Manuela Rodriguez depression doesn't always need a reason to exist. it just does. it's a burden so many people including myself have to deal with...
Sorrry bad choice of words.
I'm aware that it doesn't need a reason. I was just wondering why she (I'm assuming it's a she) has tried to kill herself.
When you get out of this phase you'll probably look back and cringe so instead of sulking and accepting being sad and depressed actually look into self help.
Some of you are so diddly darn emo jesus fuck
Excuse me? It's not fucking emo. It's called depression. It's a mental illness.
+Bored Panda hahahaha, I'm crying, you know? Most of the people those are emo, are depressed. They are many kinds of depression! They are so many kinds of depression as the people those have depression. PS sorry for my english
+Łucja “Lulu” McLeaf you can have depression and not self harm ?
Of course
I had a VERY bad week, and I was about to cut yesterday, when I searched up "songs about self harm" and I found this. It saved me from cutting in the first time in 4 months, and I appreciate him. Not only for singing this, but for giving people like me a chance to realize that we aren't all perfect, and to grasp onto our handles, and be who we wanna be. So thank you
Keep on keeping on dude. ✌🙈
Never give up man :)
you can do anything if you just believe
even if people say you cant do one thing.
Prove Them Wrong.
:)
for depression videos go and check out my Insatgram! @soul_without_purpose_
We can get through this to gether. there are millions of suicides per year and i qant to help the people beacuse i've tried to kill my self 3 times.
+Zorvix want*
instagram*
+Zorvix i hate the small keyboard
+Zorvix I'm sorry you've tried to end your life... But using it to pretty much get followers isn't really a way for help. Plus, people who are going through this and want to get better most likely don't want to watch depressing videos. They most likely want to watch happy videos to make them feel better.
+Anna Nana i also work at a suicide hitline these days as kinda of a summer job.

it's still so COOL!...."My sister, Sara, sang on the song Alibis. I had blown out my voice and we needed one snippet of vocals to complete the album. Her and I sound so similar -- my voice is high for a guy, and hers is low for a girl -- so we're in the same range. For a second it switches from my vocals to hers, but you'd never know the difference." it's true u can't!
Diana Harper when did it switch to hers?? I dont even hear it anywhere haha
"I feel so damn worthless" is my favorite line of this song because that's how I feel every damn day.
I listen to this song and pet my cat
I'm ugly and fat and stupid someone help me
+chan and skye NO YOUR NOT!!! your so beautiful!! & who ever doesn't see it is just blind and stupid
i havent saw you but i dont believe in ugly people they dont exist cuz everyone in this world is beautiful.
stay strong :) <3 and also your so smart i believe.
Go to a doctor, not the internet.
no emily roberts is
For anyone who fought through self harm, is self harm free or wants to attempt visit stophidingsmiles instagram account to spread awareness that it is possible to overcome!
I self harm to this song........
This is perfect
Everyone who has done self harm or is still cutting remember there are people out there who love and care for you, 💜
Self harm isn't only cutting I cut it is the most common But not the only kind
How would you know though..
That's not true. Nobody loves or cares for me.
What was song at the end called I think that would help more than this one did
+ellablue omahoney it's called Cross My Heart, also by Marianas Trench.
One of the best songs about bulimia out there. Almost makes me cry every time.
Everyone listening to this, you're going to make it through this...
Nah already attempted suicide 3 times and am going to soon
Chi Pi keep strong you can do this
I wish I could believe you...
I really do
Thank you :( I hope you're right
Thank you so much
I tried to kill myself yesterday...
+Priscila Esteva There is no need for suicide you can make it through this
ѕαмє
I hope you're doing better and if you're not then i want you to know that it will get better with time.You have friends and other people who love you very much and you will get through this.Stay strong and if u ever need anything just send me a message.
i am doing better
woah dude im 5 months late but i hope youre feeling better and getting the help you need
I'm a guy, and I go through this. Even if the other songs depict women it doesn't matter to me.. I relate to them.. Which isn't a good thing but it's life.
this man is made of gold. I wish I could sing as soft as him.
What's the song at the end of this song
+aj autumn9998 Cross My Heart by Marianas Trench
Can anyone please tell me what's the meaning of "Alibis"? :'(
+Alethiology Muchas gracias!
+Alethiology wtf it doesn't mean that
Damn :'(
an alibis is a cover up to something (the truth) in this case Josh's alibis is pretending that he's okay while he's broken on the inside
Finally someone who explain me the meaning with simple words. Gracias!
lol 2;32😂😄😄😆😀😆😁😂😄😉
Well im a guy 15 sled harm and yeah i agreee but people dont belove it cuz of men being "manly"
Beautiful beautiful songggggggggggggg
As anyone noticed that this is one if the very few self harm songs that directly states guys
I don't know why so many other songs depict females as the only ones that feel like this... Guys bleed, cry, and hurt to
Ashuri Hatake
Ikr
I know I cut too
Coming down by 5FDP is another example, but it applies to both genders
well most are written from personal experience so it's probably because the singer is depicting themself
Im half the man i wanted to be~
I loved marianas trench ever since 4th grade when their song 'Cross My Heart' came out... changed my life x)
Still one of my favourite songs ever, despite it being incredibly depressing
Also repping Canada!! woo i love Marianas trench and am incredibly proud of the fact they're Canadian as well hahaa
Im canadian too! OMG YOUR PROFILE PICTURE IS EVERYTHING HERE COMES THE FANS
+Melissa Pauze PHANS
Wish I would have heard this in highschool maybe I wouldn't have so many scars to be ashamed of now.
Christin Brady never be ashamed of your scars, they helped make you who you are.
Don't be ashamed of the scars they're not your fault.
I heard this at the beginning of high school and I still have scars. You wouldn't be the amazingness that (I'm assuming you are because you like MT) you are.
I'm not ashamed of my scars I'm scared of what will happen when they all fade who will I be... Who am I without them! And I'm married with a daughter and I'm 27
Sorry to be that person but this probably wouldn’t have stopped you
God, listening to this song makes me have /hella/ flashbacks to my middle school years.
Likewise.
❤ And I'm just trying to stop the bleeding ❤
In love 💕 most relatable song ever 😔 so much talent ❤️
Great. Just when I'm feeling terribly depressed this song comes along summing up my entire life in about 4 minutes....
(I love it, though.)
Been my favourite band since 2006, joshes voices is just crazy
💜 he is an inspiration
Every time I hear this song I start to gag and I can't help it.
It feels like I "shoved my fingers down my throat" and I feel like I'm dying and I just have to turn the damn thing off.
Don't get me wrong, it's a good song, but I don't like the way my throat feels when listening to it. I always start to gag and I feel like I'm gonna puke because of it. And I start shedding tears.
So....basically you can't handle the feels?
I am so glad they are Canadian. They rule out all the bad crap justin beiber dumped on Canada. WHOOP WHOOP GO MARIANAS TRENCH!! Thank god for not completely screwing up and becoming jerks!!
oh my goodness canadians are all super sweet, though. justin bieber is that one fucking canadian.
@Lauren Huster lol if they were so nice they'd take him back
Weeby Leeby Whoop Canada represent!
Also Shawn Mendes, who is the actual living embodiment of a giant 6 foot teddy bear. He's so adorable
I wanna be Canadian
They really need to be known more around everywhere josh is a beast with vocalizing! I still love him❤❤
Feel like crap ):
@Leelee Love You me to i feel like i could spill my guts out
I'm so glad I just found Mariana's Trench
