1.
Appease 01:19
I’ve got to find a balance between keeping others happy and retaining my sanity Won’t compromise anything I believe, won’t appease anyone but me.
2.
Blind 02:02
The truth is that you never saw the good in me And honestly there were times when I’d agree But something in the back of my head wouldn’t let me forget that I have worth I was made for more Blind to my dreams and passions, My efforts written off as worthless. How can you predict what I’ll amount to? Insecure and bitter, your words lay waste No support, so alone, Left wondering if I’m to blame Your mark on me was one of shame Can’t believe I let myself get so low sometimes Pressing on and upward, hoping I’ll never return Your views and mine, they’ll never agree I’ll be the man I want myself to be Potential you couldn’t see in me, But I know I’ve got a purpose and that’s all I need. New found sense of direction. Negativity, hopelessness, I’ve got to shed it all You can watch me rise, and I can watch you fall.
3.
Roots 03:10
Such beauty surrounds me This is where I find my peace In the stillness, in the quiet moments I can feel the life in the air So much to learn from the earth How to bend and not break, How to shed the dead weight and regrow new life When you’ve seemed dead for some time Draw close to warmth, draw close to light Always grow but never abandon your roots Cycles, we bloom and die out But after winter comes the spring So be like the trees, patient and strong Remain at ease you’re only here for so long Make the most of life before you wither away From the dust we are born and to the dust we’ll return someday We will return Cycles, we bloom and die out But after winter comes the spring again.
4.
Blank 02:38
What good is a life that won’t even flash before your eyes, Unable to reflect on passing time What good is it if you forget all those you’ve loved? I never got to say goodbye, And if I had I’m not sure if I would have already slipped your mind Would you remember my name? Would you remember the days we’d spend in the backyard sitting in the sun? I don’t know. Mental decay, all that you’ve loved and learned thrown away What’s the point if at the end you can’t see how far you’ve come? An old book that ends with nothing more than a few blank pages And scattered thoughts of the life you knew I know I’ll see you again, And you’ll remember my face I don’t want to live a life where each passing day crumbles and ends up slipping away Blank.
5.
Catching myself slipping into the darkness Wondering why I feel so disheartened Sometimes it feels like I’m just wasting my time Contentment could be anyone’s, anyone’s but mine Won’t believe this lie But when it feels like, Happiness is an asymptote Something you’ll never reach but always approach Know you don’t need anyone’s approval I know firsthand that the fear of judgment can make you feel so small Look inward and make a change, Can’t live in this hell every single day I know there’s good and bad in me, Constant battle they say it’s the wolf that you feed that wins And the contrast between the two is one that I could never conceive I’ll be damned if I succumb to this Just remember that life moves on.

about

We wrote and recorded these songs over a 2 month period in the winter of 2015. Inspired by early 2000's melodic hardcore in the vein of Verse, Final Fight, Miles Away and Another Breath. We just want to play shows, make new friends and write fun music.
