Descend 03:49
lyrics

When we look up at the night sky Why do we focus on the dark and not the light When we look up at the night sky We start to drift away from these white lights What is it we're running away from That we're growing older Death's hand on our shoulder The end Each day, I grow older And the nights, they grow darker I no longer see into the distance With a total lack of persistence All we wanna do Is leave this fucking nightmare What can we do Is there anybody out there Who hears the walls closing in around us Just because we're struggling Doesn't mean we're sinking Somebody wake me up and I'll swim towards The lighthouse across the sea My mind is fucking prison Leave this fucking nightmare All we wanna do Is leave this fucking nightmare What can we do Is there anybody out there Who hears the walls closing in around us

Unsustainable 04:33
lyrics

Will the violence stop Never it would seem Can you hear their voices This is not a game Each with their own name And still you make them run Worlds left broken Can't you see what we've become Why can't we understand The lives we're leading We're unsustainable We've come undone You can't pretend to comprehend when Your silence speaks volumes Weak Divided Time's come Put down your gun It's always fear and tears Can't you hear their screams Prayers left unanswered This is not a game Why can't we understand The lives we're leading We're unsustainable Why can't we understand The lives we're leading We're unsustainable We've come undone We've come undone

Fade 05:08
lyrics

(Whoah) (Whoah) (Verse) Tides shift, currents change We keep moving through eternity Time will waste us forever Clock ticks, the past decays Life goes on and then we fade away Just a fragment of a memory (Pre-Chorus) Can't change the past What's done is done Regrets made and you can never take them back Am I living or just surviving? (Chorus) Time's up in the blink of an eye All that's left is a memory World stops, all you know is gone away And time will flow without you We cease to be We're just a memory We close our eyes And look into the sky This is the choice you have made Blegh We fade away (Pre-Chorus) (Chorus) (Bridge) When all you know is gone and done Will you look back? Will you regret the things you can't change? Knowing you can never take them back We fade away We atrophy When we decay We can never stay (Chorus) (Pre-Chorus)

Disconnect 05:11
lyrics

(Intro) De-Evolution Is this the progress that we crave? Wake up and see the flames As we burn away (Verse) What have we become? What have we done? To end up in this place That we are just a face This is a world we made for ourselves (Chrous) I'm waiting and I'm praying To feel anything at all That I can hold in my hands Or I can see with my eyes I'm watching and you're saying The same fucking thing again Will this ever end? It's all pretend (Post-Chorus) Narcissistic tendencies Feed our corrosive reality Give me a sense of purpose Something to fight for Before I lose my mind (Verse) We are cold No emotion or empathy No heart no brain We're thinking the same, what is this? This is a real kind of war that we are all losing This is the final frontier we must hold Why can't we open our eyes? Why can't we open our eyes and see? (Chorus) (Intro) This is an imminent war (Chorus) Is this the end? Is this the end? Is this the end? Is this the end? This is a war you will never win This is a war you will never win

War Within 04:21
lyrics

(Verse) My mind is pressed at the seams Left to dream Burning on and on and on The lights won't fade out I'm left chasing after dreams I can't find a cure when Restless thoughts cling to me My mind's burden, I can hardly breathe (Chorus) You'll never hear my screams, don't leave Don't turn your back on the war inside me My thoughts are the casualties, can't breathe Help me overcome this army (Verse 2) How can you pretend that I'm not here suffering I'm not the one to blame There's no escape Swear I'm not going insane Swear I'm not going insane (Chorus) (Bridge) I can't see, I can't see the end This can't be real trapped inside my head I don't expect you to understand Is it cause I'm not good enough Fighting a war that can't be won But still this battle is far from Done

Hold Me Down 03:54
lyrics

(Verse) I can you see you lying through your teeth when you talk to me So shut the fuck up and admit defeat Nothing but a leech I'm disgusted by the fucking bull shit that you preach This time you won't get the best of me Cause you're tripping over every word you never said And everything you never did (Chorus) Should have thought before you lied to me You played the victim while you ripped me apart at the seams Should have left you long ago Now it's clear to me I am more than you'll ever know Ever know (Verse 2) How does it feel to be the one who lost at their own game Bear your cross and hold your head in shame You're never willing to take the blame I see you leeching and talking shit All the while you walk with pride But you're just a fucking parasite Fuck your lies, fuck everything you stand for Got no time for your bullshit anymore So sit the fuck down and wake the fuck up cause this is where it ends So just admit it you lost You're a long way from the top So just admit it you're done You lost your way, lead me astray So just admit it you're fucked After all the shit I did for you You'll never be the victim and you'll never hold me down (Chorus) You'll never watch me burn You'll never watch me burn I will never fall Fuck you, I won't let you hold me down Don't you try to bring me down, I'll fucking bury you Never again will you get the best of me (Last Chrous) I should have known you'd never change Eventually, you'd lose your way I should have known you'd never change Eventually, you'd lose your way Fuck you, I won't let you hold me down Fuck!

Falling 05:02
lyrics

Control and self belief Withers away Cause I'm done Enabling this life I lead I've tried to rid this curse inside of me But this sickness it'll never let me go I tried my best it wasn't good enough Believed in an answer but there never was Will I ever find my way out of this place? I've been drowning my demons But you're giving them air Been fighting my battles While you're pretending to care Is there anybody who can save me from myself? I'm falling down into the deep This emptiness it swallows me Longing for peace and clarity Now the life I knew is out of reach And my vice is my release I've been drowning my demons But you're giving them air Been fighting my battles While you're pretending to care And now I clearly see not once did you look out for me Again and again you pull the strings Distorting my grasp on reality For too long you've denied The man I was before this disease I'm falling down I've lost control I'm falling apart I could see this coming from the start Barely surviving for the longest time I'm Falling I'm Falling Down Vice Is my release Fuck this Disease

Tempus Aeterna 04:50
lyrics
buy track
(Verse) When you're left alone And no ones home And the missions to find ambition Is coming to close (Chorus) The clock on the wall The greatest darkness of all Ticking each day until I fall Ticking time bomb on the wall In the silence I forget it all (Post-Chorus) No matter what the destination It seems I keep getting off at the wrong station I still can't find the light (Verse 2) No matter how hard I try I still can't seem to find the light The value, the cost, the time I feel I've lost my fucking mind Reaching for the light that lies to me I ask the question are we ever free? (Chorus) (Bridge) Now I hold the past dear to my chest As the future continues to fill me with unrest It's all lights and sounds We're left fighting the crowd For a moment in time Following the white line (Chorus) The greatest darkness of all I forget it all
