A Moment of Clarity

Why can’t you see
This path was made for me?
Here in this moment
I won’t give in

The Abstraction
04:00
|

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
|
|||
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
|
|||
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

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

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
|

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

More at Stake
02:00
|

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

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
|

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
|
|||
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
