Up To Us 01:18
I'm fed up with all the hate and ignorance 'cause still we say It's supposed to be judgement free. So looking around why do I see so much intolerance, so much close mindedness? Elitists who take offense at anyone thinking different. But we're all just lonely kids, looking for somewhere to fit in. It doesn't have to be like this. It's all up to us. The hate will be erased We'll make this a better place.

Ebb & Flow 02:21
The melodies give way to dissonance, and all the souls you've met you realize you will one day miss (You will one day miss) Ebb and flow, the come and go All the faces I used to know, they flicker and fade They get lost in the passing days and I'll never be sure how some paths can converge only to drift apart, As if to weave some complex work of art Uncertain I press on boldly, and pray that time might move more slowly Forever entangled in past tense, the better times, and where they went and the innocence lost at our expense. So moving forward don't forget all the people who once meant the world to you, who helped you push through the troubled times and stayed true But with every passing day, people change, and I just wish some things would stay the same Trying to hold onto every day Blurred and gray, they all just slip away
3.
Becoming a victim to my own mind. Trying to pick myself up, when will I finally get a grip on this life? But I'll act like I've got a lot to tell about a state of contentment that I've still yet to find for myself. 'Cause I've been made to believe it can't be mine - and deep down, oh somewhere deep down, I know this is a lie. And I'm just waiting for something, Waiting for anything to genuinely convince me otherwise The truth is, I'm still slipping Into a constant state of uncertainty about who I can be when fear and helplessness are looming over me. And they say confidence is key, and it's right in front of me But that self doubt is still all that I can see It's the hole that I fall in, it's the rut that I crawl in and I'm still looking for my way out

Haze 02:08
I've been hanging my head and dragging my feet to no end A reality without clarity, blurred consciousness and apathy And I know, I know how I should feel, I just don't I don't know what is real or just habit or routine I need something to move me. Walking in circles, over and over Fleeting hopes of feeling Will it ever get any closer When will I wake Dull dreaming far from lucid, like I'm shrouded in a haze And the only thing that makes it clear is what I'm doing here. This is passion and expression, a release from my mind's oppression A ship out at sea, waiting for a breeze to send me in the direction that I need to be The weight of apathy could kill ten of me But I've been set free 'Cause in these notes I find remedy 'Cause in these notes I find remedy
5.
I can tell you that it's never been about doing this to pay the rent, 'cause going broke just playing shows is worth it in the end when anybody screams back at me or tells me that they can relate to the words I put down on a page - I wouldn't have it any other way. Remedy doesn't come easy but doing this, it all becomes clear to me 'Cause all my anger and all my fears depart from me when I stand here Pouring out to people I don't know, all the things that I never show Even if we never make it I'd never say that my time was wasted. I'd take this life over anything 'Cause we're not in this to get paid Or so that they know our faces or our names This is the only thing that cuts through the numbness The only thing that makes any sense When all else crumbles around me, this is what I know best. This is our remedy This is our clarity This is our remedy, this is our clarity I'll take this life over anything they tell me I should be.

Vicarious 03:25
Detached from reality, distracted constantly Undoubtedly because we can't be alone with our own insecurities Instant gratification. It's all been seen and said and done. Does life lose its luster when shared with everyone? Bonds empty and fleeting No passion, no meaning Social butterflies, or social parasites We are sucking the life out of life. We've lost our way We've strayed Cause we live vicariously, our heads hurting, our eyes burning while we stare downward endlessly into our own voids our hands shaking, ears aching from the white noise and we've become blind to what matters most, and we've been wandering aimlessly through the dark as ghosts of what we could be- loving, and living, and free. We live vicariously, and we've been living absently. I swear I'll be (I swear I'll be) Loving, and living, and free

about

This record is a collection of songs written during the summer of 2015 through winter 2016 as a means to cope with a wide range of emotions. These songs are our way of getting by, our way of letting go, our way of expressing ourselves in ways we couldn't do on our own.

This is our remedy.
This is our clarity.
