There was once a moment When I was defined As less of a person And more of an archetype Genuine Well defined I dare you to find Who I really am Beyond Your blinded sight There was once a party Where the room at large Pegged me for amusement It nearly broke my heart Genuine Well defined I dare you to find Who I really am Beyond Your blinded sight I awoke on the floor Was asked to leave through the back door Sunlight Pierces my bloodshot eyes I won't drink again Ignite The bridge's dynamite We won't speak again Nightlife Inebriate my mind Hypocrites again Genuine Well defined I dare you to find Who I really am Beyond Your blinded sight

Aren't you such a perfect specimen Aren't you the model of good health While you rely on your indifference Not to offend Not to condemn Don't you just pen such catchy melodies Don't you just work that crowd so good You're so consumable, digestible Like sugar-free Ovaltine We watched you light the fuse Now we will watch the clock until The detonator's boom We can't wait We watched you light the fuse Countdown until oblivion The detonator's boom We can't wait You climbed that ladder straight to the top You bathe in limelight, yes you do But you've forgotten how to get unclean You're so pristine Such vanity You make me sick like delirium tremors You make me sick just being you Find some lye 409 Drink it up Put yourself down We watched you light the fuse Now we will watch the clock until The detonator's boom We can't wait We watched you light the fuse Countdown until oblivion The detonator's boom We can't wait Another single made So soon forgotten Vacancy of content So misbegotten Another album dropped Leave me disgusted 12 tracks with nothing said So damn repugnant The detonator's set Set to blow Shelf life, expired It's time for you to go We watched you light the fuse We watched the detonator's boom Who will remember you? We can't wait

Baby, come outside We can take a ride I've got a feeling I can't stand here A broken valentine A perfect alibi I've got a reason it's called you She sent signals I ignored I should've listened to her more This one's down the hatch A toast to new romance This fleeting love can be enduring But something isn't right My head is feeling light Through the leaves I see her scowling She sent signals I ignored I should've listened to her more Baby, give me time Chance to apologize I'm sure the view was unappealing AA broken valentine A perfect alibi I've got a reason it's called you She sent signals I ignored I should've listened to her more Now I'm dying on this kitchen floor I should've listened to her more

Fragile Mind 04:09
I can't contain What I contain Inside of my fragile mind It all comes out Pours out my mouth Without concern for intent And I'm going much more faster As I'm losing all my friends Like a natural disaster I cannot make this end Ease my fragile mind Keep my thoughts confined Place the pieces in line Ease my fragile mind I death defy Release my spine Put the glass to my face Burnt at both ends Gone to my head Breathe the smoke from the blaze And I'm going much more faster As I'm losing all control Like a chemical reaction I'm volatile, ready to explode Ease my fragile mind Keep my thoughts confined Place the pieces in line Ease my fragile mind I have become Unable to run Fated to banish everyone Put me in a room Put me in a bed Put me under Put one in my head Would you put me down Could you put me down Would you put me down Ease my fragile mind Keep my thoughts confined Place the pieces in line Ease my fragile mind And I'm going much more faster As I'm losing all my friends Like a natural disaster I cannot make this end

Though I know you're wrong I will bite my tongue To avoid you breaking down cause the truth is just too much You would call it mean Moral apathy I prefer to refer to it as silent decency I feel nothing I feel nothing I feel nothing for you When you shout at me Speak to you serene But underneath are a thousand screams that I buried with my teeth Patient by design Swallowed all your crimes Boiling up as the axe comes down we're dancing on landmines I feel nothing I feel nothing I feel nothing for you Resignation to a fate of mutual genocide A war of who cares more made by our pride Our decline from valentine to foe was lost in time All that matters now is who's more right Though I know we're doomed To suffer absolute I refuse to cut the noose if it means I'm saving you I feel nothing I feel nothing I feel nothing for you

Gone Cold 05:17
It slipped away We watched it all fall right through the cracks It faded away You left me nothing but the crows on my back And you used to say That I was always to blame for your mistakes And it's such a shame What we made with our time It seems it all just a waste I'm floating down this river Nothing to take hold When will I discover That the water's gone cold I slowly start to shiver I can feel it in my soul Where's my rescue boat There's no other way To explain this divide That I find As it kills me inside I'll show you the way Still you sway to the side You're blind With the absence of light I'm floating down this river Nothing to take hold When will I discover That the water's gone cold I slowly start to shiver I can feel it in my soul Where's my rescue boat To feel has become a burden And I pray for you to change You slowly switched your face The one I knew has been erased When did it fade And did you always have that blade Tucked away Tucked away Ready to make your escape I've been betrayed Overthrown Desperate attempts To stay afloat These icy waters Swallow me whole My thought an epitaph Where's my rescue boat

I Contend 04:00
Under the midnight sun I see constellations I hear electric hum And liquid conversations But there's no evidence You've returned my calls When I review my success You're not there at all I contend I contend I contend there's no room for you (here) Beneath a starless sky I make observations About your role in life And all your contradictions And there's no other way But to sever all ties From such arcane diction Those benevolent lies I contend I contend I contend there's no room for you (here) Under the midnight sun I see constellations die I see that I'm free I contend I contend I contend there's no room for you (here)

Get Away 05:00
Penetrating conflicts echo through my mind Calculated comments aimed at my demise All your stony gazes leave me petrified So you start to chisel at what's left of my pride I'm forgetting everything I can All that remains I will put down Underground, out of sight Like a disarmed landmine If you try to stay tonight You better think twice Get away Go back to where you came Keep your distance I've been set free Untethered from your chain You're far behind me I've replaced you I've evolved in stride Still you return Still equipped with your Dirty looks, lips so tight Judgmental eyes If you try to stay tonight You better think twice Get away Go back to where you came Keep your distance Your need to demean To make yourself feel more supreme It's unsympathetic It's so god damn pathetic Doesn't matter how How you try and change You will always be Be that petty flame The one that flickers at the slightest breeze, the faintest breath The one that needs to burn to feel alive Doesn't matter who survives Get away Go back to where you came Keep your distance Untethered from your chain You're far behind me

Teenage Baby 03:02
Plant your tongue in your cheek Bite down hard, spit your blood in the street Don't weep for yourself You won't get far if you won't ask for help I hear you speak in demands Like language was delivered to the palm of your hand You leave me guessing like it's a souvenir Teenage baby, let me see those tears So you came for a cause Just cause you came, doesn't earn it applause With a bottle of white Stop that spinning, just leave on the light Put your shame on display Sulk in the sun, celebrate in the shade You leave me guessing like it's a souvenir Teenage baby, let me see those tears One day you will have to deal with yourself You leave me guessing like it's a souvenir Teenage baby, let me see those tears Terrify me please Validate my stress with the greatest of ease

Shadow 04:11
Can't stop, don't stop, it's catching up No strolling, I gotta run It's grasping at my shirt Take a breath and rest It could be your last escape from death It's everything you dread There's a shadow lurking Right behind me No this can't be I don't know how it found me My pockets lined with grams of white I will provide provided That you cut me in And from behind, my past is nigh Disguised as a bloody scythe It's everything you dread There's a shadow lurking Right behind me No this can't be I don't know how it found me I'll be waiting (for you) There's no escaping (next time I'm coming for you) There's a shadow lurking Right behind me No this can't be I don't know how it found me I don't know How I was found Like a ghost I will haunt this town

Holy words Never heard Home is where the bleeding heart is Haggard hope Hung from a rope Home is where the bleeding heart is Your fear's in the palm of his hand He grips tight to instill his Domination Your submission He sees you as a commodity Dressings for his vanity Egotistic It's sadistic Girl You'd be justified Nobody would find out You're so burnt out You'd be free now Holy words Never heard Home is where the bleeding heart is Haggard hope Hung from a rope Home is where the bleeding heart is You've been trained to bottle up the pain Every day, another melee It's no secret We all see it He's got you by the neck He's got you by the neck He's got you by the neck Screaming home is where the bleeding heart is With your breath Sink your teeth in Girl You'd be justified Nobody would find out You would be revived Like a phoenix fire From the ash you'll spring out You won't burn out You'd be free now Hope for a day When you feel safe It turns gray So gray It's gone Search the room What's in sight Fingers wrap 'Round a knife Blindly stab Lands its mark Buried deep and stopped his bleeding heart Girl You were justified Nobody has found out Don't you feel revived? Like a phoenix fire From the ash your sprung out You won't burn out Raise your hands up high You finally smile A sign of hope Spelled out in demise Your former love Has bled out Gave out He's been put down

about

Our debut album. It was a fucking process and a half to get this made, which survived a studio break in, a meth head posing as a cancer victim, a ghost in the studio, a disappearing engineer, poverty, and 700 liters of coffee. If there's a running theme, it's probably demonstrating infallibility in gray scenarios. Between tracking the instruments and getting the album mastered, our guitarist quit and our bassist opted to focus on his other band. We still love you guys though! There were a couple songs that we wrote but didn't record that will be on the next album, which are called Captive and Feel Better. We did however completely record all the music to a song, but it didn't make it on the album because Keith didn't write lyrics and vocals in time. Shame on you, Keith.
