Runaway 02:45
lyrics

Welcome to the part of me that you've never seen A darker alternate Stranger within the known, conscious to everything alone Unearthly compromise rends me incapable of all the things that hold me back Turn away or follow me down Hold your breath we're going under (We're going under) Close your eyes don't fall asleep (Don't fall asleep, yeah) You wanna know how life can feel so cold and empty? (You wanna know?) Descend with me into the deep I cannot help but feel that I am losing grip on my reality again It's like everything I say turns around and pushes me back down A swirl of endless torment, a botched life, existance to persist Chases me down Light dies, and I begin to drown Hold your breath we're going under (We're going under) Close your eyes don't fall asleep (Don't fall asleep, yeah) You wanna know how life can feel so cold and empty? (You wanna know?) Descend with me into the deep Run away before it's too late Run away before it's too late Before it's too late I cannot help but feel that I am losing grip on my reality again It's like everything I say turns around and pushes me back down A swirl of endless torment, a botched life, existance to persist Chases me down light dies and I begin to drown

Kiss The Ground 04:05
lyrics

Let’s see how far you'll take this Before she finally hits the ground You hypocrite You love nobody but yourself A never-ending cycle Your charming words like poison She gave you everything and you throw it in her face Does it make you smile to see the suffering you bring? Are you satisfied to see that she still wears her ring? A broken arm, consequence of whim A tortured soul, the light has burnt so dim Slowly drowning all your misery I pray it takes you long before your time Abuser, let these words take you away When you are withered you'll be begging her to stay Let’s see how far you'll make it Before you finally hit the ground You're all alone You loved nobody but yourself This never-ending cycle Brought you to where you will begin Now make amends and kiss the ground you're buried in Kiss the ground Slowly drowning all your misery I pray it takes you long before your time Abuser, let these words take you away When you are withered you'll be begging her to stay Kiss the ground You fought for nothing And now you'll bleed for it ‘Cause you fought for nothing Kiss the ground

Blood & Salt 05:02
lyrics

There's a piece of me I'm stuggling to find An explanation critical to my own peace of mind I've wondered far and wide searching every silent cave I know it's calling me, beckoning beyond the grave When will I cease to search And understand my fate When will I cease to search And understand my fate Falling to the floor, underneath it all I have earned my fall, yeah I have earned my fall This is not end, I will stand again But I have earned my fall, yeah I have earned my fall. Pleading just for one last chance To turn back time, to redefine What I've become in my defence Means cannot justify this fate Falling to the floor, underneath it all I have earned my fall, yeah I have earned my fall This is not the end, I will stand again But I have earned my fall, yeah I have earned my fall. Understated, unresolved mitigated, blood and salt So fixated, the past still haunts understated, blood and salt If it take me to hell's gate I will understand my fate Falling to the floor, underneath it all I have earned my fall, yeah I have earned my fall Falling to the floor, underneath it all (This is not end, I will stand again) I have earned my fall, yeah I have earned my fall This is not end, I will stand again But I have earned my fall, yeah I have earned my fall

Revolve 04:01
lyrics

Bring it down My eyes cry for the solice we once had before and every single day we feel the same Questions asked but never answered will be satisfied When we tear them from their bloody throats Eyes wide shut Mouth agape False sense of importance No more Raise your voice Raze these halls Surrender everything you love Revolve Hearts of gold Break the mould If now we breathe our final breath Will you stand with me, my friend? We will not be cast aside again, no never again No never again We have spent too long inside our heads, so break the mould Time to revolve We will not be cast aside again, no never again No never again Bring it down, bring it down Revolve Pull them from their shelter No mercy for their crimes No mercy for the suffering In the sun they will swelter Our time is upon us A new path will we paved Our time is upon us We will carry the torch to the grave We will not be cast aside again, no never again No never again We have spent too long inside our heads, so break the mould Time to revolve We will not be cast aside again, no never again No never again Bring it down, bring it down Revolve Bring it down

Coming Apart Again 04:05
lyrics
buy track
We’ll go down in fire and flame We never learn from our mistakes We pick up the pieces and try again It’s just a cycle of madness Damned from the start, too blind to see That we were not ever meant to be A few good tries should have been enough But we’re too stupid to give up I didn’t fight with my bare hands to end up just like them Another piece falls out of place We’re coming apart again And I didn’t struggle tooth and nail to end it just like this Too much heat, too little space We’re tearing apart this place Accusations flung like stones From your pretty fragile throne You look at me as if to say “it could have ended another way” Scratching and clawing, biting and lies Talk of how you’re victimized But after all that we’ve been through I think the problem is you I didn’t fight with my bare hands to end up just like them Another piece falls out of place We’re coming apart again And I didn’t struggle tooth and nail to end it just like this Too much heat, too little space We’re tearing apart this place

Dead In The Water 03:07
lyrics
buy track
Pick yourself up off that filthy floor Good for nothing, but you still want more Taken so long for us to put it all together Led by false example Taken to the grave Hopeless Forgotten Rejected Insane There’s weakness in your strength, a poison in your cure A solemn lack of self-denial, a reason so impure All the suffering and all the pointless loss of life Another drop in the ocean, paid from a fortune Mercy is denied Breathe the air, isn't it sweet? (We never saw what hid behind a mask of purity) Hold it in and slip away (Don't bother 'cos it's all too late) Breathe the air, isn't it sweet? (You've lost your grip of steel and brass, now fall upon your sword) Hold it in and slip away All this time, so damn blind all this time All this time, waste of life all this time
