Deadweight 03:17
lyrics

So much hell for a demon like me The air is too hot and foggy to breathe When will it take? Will it take, take to shed this deadweight How long will I wait? How long will I wait? How long for the tables to turn Always heading in the wrong direction Always heading in the wrong direction You say that I’m the one to blame when after all assumption is the mother of all mistakes As I begin to unfold the very veil of lies that I now behold Hanging over my shoulder, well it just don’t wear away When will it take? Will it take, take to shed this deadweight How long will I wait? How long will I wait? How long for the tables to turn Always heading in the wrong direction Always heading in the wrong direction As I begin to unfold the very veil of lies that I now behold Hanging over my shoulder, well it just don’t wear away So much hell for a demon like me The air is too hot and foggy to breathe Give it time, to shake off this deadweight Just give it time, to shake off this deadweight Just give it time, to shake off this deadweight Just give it time, to shake off the deadweight

Swimming With Sharks 03:14

if you wanted to be the person you wanted to be what’s holding you back? the other you, probably that other person analysing every move you make the voice that tortures you inside over every mistake if you never wake up, you will never see what a beautiful world this could fucking be if you choose to live so selfishly never expect a handout from them or me this is a world where you earn what you get and If you can’t fucking handle it then it won’t mean shit you see, the world will wait and see if you prove yourself but they can see through the bullshit, your masquerade won’t help the truth will set you free and when it hurts the most, that’s when you know it’s making you stronger when it hurts the most, that’s when you know that it’s making you stronger take your bullshit, and fuck off somewhere else, bitch I’ve spent my time amongst the best and worst the long road to heaven or shortcuts to my hearse stupidity can not be fixed and I won’t waste my time on scumbag pieces of shit

Frozen Land 03:27
lyrics

Can’t we be comfortable with simply learning our own lessons? Without change, you are all none-the-wiser You can’t wait for happiness to find you Mountains will not move themselves Demons will not drown themselves Take a step and let go of my hand of my hand If you look, this is the wreckage of your life Without change, you are all none-the-wiser We only live to feel higher Focus is lost, lost to distractions Time stops, no one is spared Spared Frozen in time Don’t forget the words you have written And what you have accomplished In the darkest of days, don’t ever be afraid Nothing is clear, and nothing is ever what it seems When I hide under water, I can barely hear the waves Mountains will not move themselves Demons will not drown themselves Take a step and let go of my hand of my hand GO Frozen in time If you look, this is the wreckage of your life Without change, you are all none-the-wiser We only live to feel higher Without change, you are all none-the-wiser You can’t wait for happiness to find you We only live to feel higher no one is spared OH FROZEN IN TIME

Breathing Fire 04:59
lyrics

these straying thoughts cast a cycle of selfish intuition unaware, I am the author that chants these words existing in isolation I give a part of me for an unknown level of uncertainty knowing when to place every emotion on hold, grasping at who I am as a matter of urgency heavy rain, feel the pain, endure all the same I feel their hold, every ounce of pain cruel shadows dance in the dark, bounding to leave their mark the truth can’t be told, it has to be realised I feel no connection to anything at all Something’s holding me back from the person I’ve become 
I’m breathing fire, by this point, it’s barely hurting these altercations are far beyond deserving every bridge built is destined for burning you’ll never know the truth when distracted from learning I feel no connection to anything at all Something’s holding me back from the person I’ve become As I lose Direction, there’s no sign of emotional connection Something’s killing every piece of me, I lose reality for the first time, I stare into the sky the stars align, I know it’s not my time Time ticks on and is takes a hold, I feel release as I break the mould What you have found can never be told, you’ll live your life out in the cold I feel no connection to anything at all Something’s holding me back from the person I’ve become As I lose Direction, there’s no sign of emotional connection Something’s killing every piece of me, I lose reality for the first time, I stare into the sky the stars align, I know it’s not my time

Down To My Level 03:20
lyrics

broken bonds from a miscommunication, we settle for the distraction of ego suppress it, forget what you never suspect retired attachments of two bitter introverts, scale the gravity of execution kill my connection to emotion Surely the point of no return would be clearly sign-posted It’s complicated when you don’t understand It’s fun and games for you until there’s my blood on my hands It’s complicated when you don’t understand In time, I’ll forget the ghosts that used to haunt me If you had it, still have it, you want it then give it a chance never place your health into somebody else’s hands coz you had it, you loved it but drained it and threw it away regrets are all that’s left at the end of the day despite everything I’ve ever said I relinquish everything I have to someone who doesn’t care change me, make me how you want me to be how do you want me to be? brainwash me to a life I never wanted force me against my will I’m giving in I’m giving in I’m down to your level

Alive, Unwell 03:18
lyrics

emotions fluctuate, the undying power to devastate all we needed was to return to an open state of mind in hope we see the light

Stay put, not where you want to be, but where you’re meant to be that’s when you learn the hardest of lessons emotions fluctuate, the power to devastate I wait patiently in the darkness *chorus* patiently wait in the darkness the presence I’ve been living in all my life But if I survive it all, it could spread its disease and I lose everything everything emotions fluctuate, the power to devastate I wait patiently in the darkness tormented by the same frustrations lost in a cycle of dangerous contemplations all the walls that you’ve ever built, burn from every complication and now I focus on what I seem to have left when I should be manifesting the life that comes next hope can be a familiar feeling to trust in the outcome outstretched, I am reaching so when I focus on what I seem to have left I know I should be manifesting the life that comes next
