The Abstraction 04:00
lyrics

The rules you made The price I paid To see myself In a new way You say I'm too young to understand the world How can you see anything When you are in the dark? Inside but out of my mind I see silver streaks in the mirror A snake hid among the hares As my vision becomes clearer I see through this maze That you made for me I'm making my own way That's how it has to be The lie you made The price I paid To see the world In a new way You say I'm too young to comprehend the truth How can you know anything When you are in the dark? Inside but out of my mind I see silver streaks in the mirror A snake hid among the hares As my vision becomes clearer I see through this maze That you made for me I'm making my own way That's how it has to be

Rise from the Deep 03:15
lyrics

I sail the seas of adventure, I dream Waters of doubt and skeptics unseen I hear the thunder roar and see the lightning glow Fear not the storm but the monster below Bound by the weight of what I have become Dragged down below out of sight of the sun But I won’t drown I won't give in I feel the storm begin to brew I feel the growing doubt in you You fear I put too much into A hopeless dream destined to fail I feel the wind tear through the sails I feel the waves pounding the ship I feel the beast rise from the deep I feel the beast inside of me This is not the end So don't pretend To give up on this Every breath I take I hope for your own sake You see i'm walking away from the life you made It's not for me, I pray that you can see I'm chasing after who I am Everything everything everything everything Has been Taken away taken away From me Bound by the weight of what I have become Dragged down below out of sight of the sun But I won’t drown I won't give in I feel the storm begin to brew I feel the growing doubt in you You fear I put too much into A hopeless dream destined to fail I feel the wind tear through the sails I feel the waves pounding the ship I feel the beast rise from the deep I feel the beast inside of me This is not the end So don't pretend To give up on this This is a family, this is a team Shredding through waters, the kings of the sea We heard the siren call like a cannonball We’re pushed by the passion that burns us all

Heavy Life 02:45
lyrics

This is me Screaming to be heard I don’t believe Any lies in your words Remember back on that day It meant something to me Happy naive little heart Beating contently Don’t tell me I’m worthless While you drink away your mind I’m living out my life, can't Think of that day anymore Heavy life’s the crowd I didn’t choose this life but I guess I’ll take it Heavy life's the crowd I know I made this life So I’ll embrace it. I’ve used this apathy To hide my sadness for so long If you could prove me wrong Then prove me wrong I remember everything This is my home Remember when I said I don’t need you? Neither do I Heavy life’s the crowd I didn’t choose this life But I guess I’ll take it Heavy life's the crowd I know I made this life So I’ll embrace it Give me back my life

Ambition's Limit 05:37
lyrics
buy track
Going Through motions Wasting all my time Another wait in line In transit I might find An idle, ideal mind Wishful thoughts In vain Breathing, suffocating, barely holding my grip As I slip, I’m reaching out To grasp a hand that’s never been there Pleading for someone to count The times I’ve let myself disappear Vanish in the air. Restless, just another ghost Holding to These feelings A long lost cause I’ve seen it all You clearly saw And watched me fall Into patterns once again I can’t hold on Always knew that there was more This time I can’t do anything Drifting soul purged from my life Was it you or was it me? Throwing away the dream Just help me breathe Breathing, suffocating, barely holding my grip As I slip, I’m reaching out To grasp a hand that’s never been there Pleading for someone to count The times I’ve let myself disappear Vanish in the air. Restless, just another ghost I am still searching for meaning As I slip, I’m reaching out To grasp a hand that’s never been there Pleading for someone to count The times I’ve let myself disappear I still need more than this Another ghost that roams alone Still finding truth in the unknown

Marooned 04:04
lyrics

I am sick of this I am so sick of you acting Like you're above me I will not hold back my anger Any longer Where will you run? Where will you hide? I've waited for so long To prove that you were wrong You know vengeance comes around So don't try to fight cause you're mine You’re in my way Don't try and look for forgiveness That ship has sailed Your reign is coming to an end And you'll be nothing You are alone Nowhere to go I've waited for so long To prove that you were wrong You know vengeance comes around So don't try to fight cause you're mine Now you know what happens when you mess with my head And next time you won't because this is the end for you I've waited for so long To prove that you were wrong You know vengeance comes around And it's time now To face facts that what I said was true And I always doubted you It's over, don't cross me again Cause I won't forgive, won't forget

So much for being a friend I knew you'd leave in the end You broke what I called my home Stranded me on my own This happens every time You were gone before you even arrived And I never counted You as my own But I never got too attached Cause it’s obvious you're never coming back Life goes on without you Never stopped for you I knew you never meant to stay But that’s okay

Sinking Beneath 03:48
lyrics
buy track
I can’t suffocate in these memories Some friends come and some friends leave Gotta run, run far away Tell myself that there’s nothing I can save If I could go back to the day That I wrote those words Tell myself that it’s all gonna be okay I'll survive the end of the world Don’t fear the day your world comes crashing down Those days define us. Those days refine us Everything is falling apart Should I run? Cause if so then I better start. Where will I go? And do I have a chance? If I could go back to the day That I wrote those words Tell myself that it’s all gonna be okay I'll survive the end of the world Don’t fear the day your world comes crashing down Those days define us. Those days refine us Please know not everything comes back around But you'll never know, ‘Till you give it a chance Your taste won’t consume me I’m turning this all around I’m building up from the ground

Maybe there’s more at stake A chance I’m not willing to take There’s no way, not for me I can’t say, that I believe I don’t know, I don’t think I can see through everything

Legacy 05:41

We are rising Holding on We’re starting an uphill battle So come what may I’ll show you We will rise Stand strong Drag us through the dirt Say we have no worth Soon we will arise and we’ll take it Our dreams and destiny We are rising Holding on We’re fighting an uphill battle So come what may We’ll show you We will rise So what if you say you do not like our sound Or if you say that we will not go anywhere? We will carry ourselves far beyond your doubt You can’t leave our paradise in ruins now Make no mistake We will rise up And take our place It is our purpose It is our fate We will stake our claim We are rising Holding on We’re winning an uphill battle So come what may I’ll show you We will rise

Attack 03:54

We will not stand by We will not stay silent We will show no mercy We won’t be compliant You are the enemy Attack! Attack! I dare you to try to send a threat Attack! Attack! Your knife to their throat, your head in our sights Prepare for death Taste your last breath You’ve gone too far You can spit on our freedom You can wave your flags But when you gun down our brothers You'll sink in our body bags You’ve got nothing to stand for You’ve got nothing to lose But we’ve got hope, love, and family And liberty to hold on to Attack! Attack! I dare you to try to send a threat Attack! Attack! Your knife to their throat, your head in our sights Prepare for death Taste your last breath You’ve gone too far Oh say, can you see By the light of my muzzle flare? As it reveals your true colors You’ll only find despair And since you’ve wounded our brothers Your souls we will keep Stripped from your corpses Six feet deep Attack! Attack! I dare you to try to send a threat Attack! Attack! Your knife to their throat, your head in our sights Prepare for death Taste your last breath You’ve gone too far

Lost in Time 06:04
lyrics

The flames of all my tears Built up over years The ends did not justify The hours I passed by The soot all on my face Colors turn to grey I couldn't see through smoke I've been left here to choke I can see the fire rise Now that it's all over I've never been more sober As I watch the fire die The embers are still fading And it's not worth waiting As the fire's lost in time The ashes sting my eyes Raining from the sky It took away my strength I know it’s all in vain Out of fuel and hope Now feeling all alone The cold’s been creeping in And darkness once again I can see the fire rise Now that it's all over I've never been more sober As I watch the fire die The embers are still fading And it's not worth waiting As the fire's lost in time Fire was in my heart It took one day to start It engulfed my life On that autumn night I tried to douse the flames Each attempt ended the same The fire raged on and on Until everything was gone And now I know it's gone, know its gone A pile of black debris And now I know it's gone, know it’s gone Consumed my life and me And now I know it's gone, know it’s gone The air still thick with smoke And now I know it's gone, know it’s gone The dark night is exposed

March of the Broken 08:03
lyrics
buy track
We shared a vision And saw it to fruition Monomythic Now life diverts our paths But this time won’t last Can’t resist it March, don’t slow your pace yet as the hand Of time’s wristwatch ticks away The only thing left to lose is our Broken, misguided souls Rare time, well spent As it came and went All too quickly Found a place to stay And now we give it away Everything Carved into brimstone And forged from our toil A new manifesto To yourself be loyal Fear not the omens That whisper with the breeze For nothing will come In this world out of ease Carry your burdens And steady your heart That which can’t be destroyed Takes form from the void March, don’t slow your pace yet as the hand Of time’s wristwatch ticks away The only thing left to lose is our Broken, misguided souls March and don’t look back On your crooked past Toward the hidden path Fate fulfilled at last
