Holding Pattern 04:40
lyrics
The weight bears on me to this day (I gave up searching for a way) Held out all reason No one left to blame A life’s existence Faded in time Days of decay Everything pulling away Nothing Left to say Lost All My sense Hopeless Nights Wrong again Dead Ends Wasted Time Wake from this sleep Sever this dream We left ourselves And drowned our hearts Falling hostage To a holding pattern Sinking below The surface A loss for words A loss for life A loss for words A loss for fucking life Obtain Convey Reclaim What a sight to see when the streets are still and cold What a sight to see when the sun is dead and fucking gone No will to be had No will to the end Resist and revive A world turned old Thrown away Renew the pulse For life unknown Empathy brings A second chance To find a way out We let it come to this We Couldn’t make the most of it Further from a premiss We no longer serve a purpose We no longer serve a purpose There’s not a thing that could save We will always end these days the same

Swell 03:21
lyrics
Reaching out Inconsistent No Time For Me No Place For You Nothing For You Everything That Kept Me Focused All Drifts Further Away Dead Weight Clinging To Me Dragging Me Under Today Waking Up Another Dark Sky These Days Passing Me By When Will I Learn From This? After All I Won't Forget The Person I've Become Nothing Within The Person I've Become Suffocating These Thoughts They Swell It Never Fails I Gave My All To This World I Gave My All To This Hell Pushed Away Pushed Away Pushed Away Everything To Keep Ahold Of This Pain That I've Carried Turning Into Shame A Promise Given Just To Watch It Fade A Failure Waiting On Something To Claim Why Didn't You End Me Sooner? Why'd You Wait Until I Was Okay? Why'd You Wait? Why'd You Wait? Disintegrate Contemplate Forever Wrong In This Life Who Am I To Question Things That I Cannot Decide? I'm So Tired Of Living These YEars Blind Swell Take This Away Why'd You Wait Until I Was Okay? Can I Have The Strength To Know What It Takes To Get Through This Alone? My Sympathy Has Grown Cold These Thoughts Swell and Unfold Killing Me To No End They Take Hold I Will Make It Out On My Own

Left To Shed 03:40
lyrics
The words caught in my throat I can’t remember what they said Left here to shed to the end I can't stand here knowing that this fucking day goes on I can't remember a time when there was something more than this blank page in my mind I am nothing more than a routine carried out to survive My days end fall to the weight of a pattern I cant move on from The loss of my love for something better than I am worth Than I am worth An exit from You’re useless embrace I feel it stabbing through me To this day Hopeless we’ve tried Fell next to nothin Reside Why do you deserve what I can't have? Left to shed to the end I can’t stand here knowing that everything is gone Why do you deserve to live a life like that? You don’t deserve it You don’t deserve it To live a live like that You don’t deserve You don’t deserve Stabbing through me To this day Fell next to nothin Already dug this grave The words caught Can’t remember what they said Why do you deserve to have What I can’t?

Relive 03:39
lyrics
I've taken too much life, to let go of all i've done Tear me down, throw me away remind me of the things of a time when my name meant something What brought me to this broken state? Why can't I get away from this place? We leave behind those who give everything that they have from within I've been living a life so faithless don't even know how i've made it hours away from caving why weren't you here? To this day those words lay still Felldead to your grace and I expect nothing more than this I expect nothing more than this It's been so long and I wish you had the strength It's been so long and I wish that I could erase this hate Could you find the strength? Could you find it? Could you find it? Could you find the strength? Could you find it? Could you find it? Could you find the strength? Could you find it? Could you find it? You keep me here These thoughts unclear You keep me here for nothing Take my time again You keep me here to wait for nothing Nothing No place to persist Taken away from this A day where I can forget (and I'll always) A day where I won't look back (that I'd want to) and relive Where I won't look back again

A Decade Of False Hope 04:15
lyrics
In this life I have bled Never looking ahead I held onto these words and hopelessly pled All the hours I spent beating myself to death as I slowly descend I remember back when you said to me This will all soon pass Why can't there just come a day that doesn't feel just like the last? I Look back Was it really much different then? My Lungs Lack A breath that’s worth something That’s worth something Worth something That’s worth something more God left me when I left myself Stuck in life feeling nothing but guilt Torn from the life we’ve built Wash away mistakes i’ve made Drifting away from the path I have paved Set course for a better life I don't know the difference between wrong or right And still I feel the world judging me All i want is to lead a life being free Answers bring more questions I’ll never learn my lesson Beat me down Give me more I live life I never Fucking asked for And despite the guilt I feel you’ll never get the best of me In this life we face decisions that change everything A life distant fallen from your Memory And I never thought I could feel this low Waiting for a reason To not let go And I never thought (I never thought) It would feel like this (Feel like this) And I never thought (I never thought) This is the life id live The life i’d live This is The life i’d live Hold it back forget that night I never asked for this life A decade of false hope Now I can barely cope Haunted motions of our past Thinking this day could be the last You gave to me I take it away Left in regret my life all played The life i’d live

Aquaintance 02:29
lyrics
My old friend how long has it been? Since the days that gave us faith now they’re gone with the rest There is no substance that could take these scars away We gave up on all of the better days We have grown a new face Losing focus of the things that held something Held something Life goes on but it's not the same All promises were left to break Do you remember those times? Do you remember anything? When the motivation wasn’t so far out of reach So far out of reach Old habits drag you under Now we are nothing more than strangers We are nothing more We are nothing more None of this was real to begin with All the hours spent I just wish you had more to give All the things i'll miss were never real to begin with All the hours spent I just wish you had more to give We lost those better days We lost everything

Dead To Heaven 03:24
lyrics
You always cloud my judgment I know there is nothing More All those things you wished away I won’t forget All those years not knowing just how to begin All the things that I wish I could change And I know I will always see The same mistakes The same old ways Whatever it takes to throw it away The same old kid Who had no faith In any of this For all of these days All of these days I never had a chance to think about this way I’ve chose to live A chance to think about all the things that I have missed I just feel I’ve gone away I’m left here thinking of the things that make weak I will never be free from these mistakes Look down on me take this away now Take this away, just pretend that you won't forget I’m left to take the blame I’m left to take the blame Always I’m left to take the blame I’m left to take the blame I’m dead to heaven This day brings a new lie and I'll ignore it this time I’ve spent too much time Wasting the chances i’ve been given For things I could have made Hung up on those old ways Those old ways Why should I wait On something that see's nothing in me? Something to bring me out of this To be alive again Something to bring me out of this End Nothing could Give me faith that This will go away I am dead to heaven and that is how it stays Now How it will stay Now Left to decay

Deceit 03:50
lyrics
Perception Take it all You take it phase after phase Left home to find another Left home to find peace Left home to find another Left home to find me I always held on to all these doubts No closer to being found Nothing left worth saving Nothing left to give We fell Silent No return No more deceit to be heard Lost control Searching years ago We left hope Deserted We’ve seen the worst in us We’ve wished the worst to come We fall further as we choke We left hope Tearing apart We’ve lost the heart Exposed failing to exist for more than this To exist For more than this No more deceit To be heard Take something perfect We always learn to hate Perception Take it phase by phase

Praise 02:55
lyrics
I saw the sun again beating down on your frail skin I watched the end begin in this dream Once again What’s it like to be proud of yourself and not have to plea? What am I to think of a world turned away? Gone to me Gone to myself We are left to be betrayed Days turn to waste Stay in your past Return my name Gone Gone to me Been gone to you Repressing this hate Return my name I’ve been gone to you I’ve been gone to me I’ve been gone to you I’ve been gone to me Dread for all the days ahead Welcome to your world Stay low Give into hell Every prayer will fail Stuck in the past to dwell Welcome to your world Stay low Give into hell Every prayer will fail Suffer in your past and dwell Dread For every day ahead I saw the sun again beating down on your frail skin I watched the end begin in this dream Once again I saw the end The end All I want is to see you beg An end to all your days We are left to be betrayed Nothing to praise (God doesn't make the world this way, we do) All I want is to see you beg An end to all your days We are left to be betrayed Return my name

Home 04:06
lyrics
I remember thinking if you had made it home I’ve been lost in my head lately for things I wish I’d known So many nights i had tried To push all of this aside I won’t think twice I will not pretend I won’t let this set in I won’t live that life again Everything has grown so distant I feel the time begin to drain Keeping calm with losing interest for the ones who hesitate Stuck with this mind bled dry We keep pretending that these things are fine Why can’t I forget all the things I took for granted? So much Has come to pass We weren’t thinking it could go so fast And I have witnessed everyone turn back turn back on their words They turn back The sympathy they all lack I’ve been waiting on those lungs to speak up and tell me if there is something more All my patience is wearing so thin I drown in doubt wishing that you would come around I wait for that evening The sun is going down I don’t know why I still think about the things that you never will The thought still never leaves my mind All I wanted to know was if you made it home that night I’ve sustained so much time in that place We always swore that we could escape Would you look for that memory? It’s been so long since those eyes saw a life in me I’m sick of looking back And I never want to hear that voice from the past The one that keeps me empty The one that kills me slow The one that wants to know If you made it home If you made it home I can’t explain I’m letting go today I won’t let myself think if you made it home okay I can’t explain why everything has changed I won’t let myself think if you made it home okay If you made it home If you made it home
