Bottled Up 04:09
Can't find the truth in the moment anymore And I'm fucking sick of all my lies I'm face to face with a choice I've faced before Don't know if I should run or fight Every time I wanna find a reason for it all I lose the meaning in my songs Even though I recognize the climb before the fall Still don't know where I belong I'll burn up from both ends Until all that's left is a flame And I'll dissolve into descent Until no one remembers my name Can't bottle up all the things I don't want to feel They're piling up with nowhere to go I'm suffocating on the words that I don't spill Gotta spit em out before I choke But they're filling up and over flowing out of me Spilling out like a riot in the streets Can't let it all keep building up inside Gotta let it out before I die I'll burn up from both ends Until all that's left is a flame And I'll dissolve into descent Until no one remembers my name As my face loses it's shape I can't see my reflection as me My sense of self begins to fade And I'm forgotten like a dream

Homestretch 02:34
I've found my place But I somehow knew it all along I found my way Followed the light guiding me home Without a trace I'll vanish swiftly into thin air No saving grace I'll be gone without a care Forget about me Cause I'm moving down the line Letting go of yesterday Soon will come my time It's not thatfar away and I will take No weight With me to the end I've fallen again And I'm not trying to get up Giving in Staying stuck here in this rut Until I'm born again Maybe next time I won't fuck it up But until then Leave my bones buried in the mud Forget about me Cause I'm moving down the line Letting go of yesterday Soon will come my time It's not too far away and I will take No weight With me to the end

Hold Fast 01:27
My hands are rubbed raw trying to keep a grip And they're covered in blood and they're covered in shit And it never seems to wash off no matter how hot this water gets And my eyes are so red that it's all I see This voice in my head is fucking screaming at me And it never seems to ever fucking sleep I don't know I don't know Where I'll be tomorrow I don't know, I don't know
4.
In The Wake 03:09
I've been down before But not like this Though I know it's nothing more Then what it's always been A fleeting Moment in time Just passing by As the seconds die And when it goes No shape is shown And when it's done It's fucking done No Holding out, no holding on No waiting round' for that time to come But don't let it go without asking You'll never know if you were right or wrong And if you hope that you're passed it Then it wasn't there all along And now I'm up Like I've never been before Though I know the time will come When I'm left wanting more Cause it'll go In a matter of time Like it did before Just passing by And when it goes No shape is shown And when it's done It's fucking done No Holding out, no holding on No waiting round' for that time to come I never noticed it passing Until it was already gone And in the wake of it's absence I learned to carry on One by one they slipped away Seconds into minutes into days As they fade and wash away I question all the choices that I made But the answers that I seek Are never that easy to reach So I won't hold out I won't hold on I found my balance but still I know I could fall unless I take it slow So I'll take my time with me And use it wisely as I go
5.
Until Now 03:29
Until now I wanted a way out But when I found one I turned away I thought there was nothing That could save me But it ain't too late To start again And until now I was waiting For the worst of things To drag me down But when they found me I faced them They challenged me And I cut them down I don't know how Things got this way But what I know is things are bound to change Things gotta change I don't know how I got this far But I'm here to stay and I ain't goin away At least not today Until now I thought I made it Had the world within Within my reach But when I grabbed it It started fading And my clenched fist Is what was left And until now Didn't think I'd make it But then I found What it took So I will carry on I will stay strong Even after all My strength is gone I don't know how Things got this way But what I know is things just gotta change Things are bound to change I don't know how I got this far But I'm here to stay and I ain't goin away At least not today Until now I didn't think I had it I let myself believe It wasn't there But when I saw it I reached out and grabbed it And It changed me and I held it close And Until now I fought my way out When I felt surrounded And I felt defeated But then I realized I was winning And it a lot felt like Being young

Four Walls 03:22
These four walls look just like hell Another moment and I'm screaming in this cell Another cog stuck in the wheel And this machine Keeps on turning It's another wasted day Another moment slips away We're doing time In these prisons of our mind And now you'll never get out alive I wanna burn this world to the ground Strike the match And we'll leave without a sound Cause you know it'll never change Crooks and politicians still playing the same game It's another wasted day Another moment slips away We're doing time In these prisons of our mind And now you'll never get out alive It's just a fucking wasted day Just another wasted day We're doing time In these prisons of our minds Now you'll never get out alive

Wasteland 03:23
This life I lead Won't get the best of me Not before I've said my piece And had my fill Cause there's a fire in me Burning deep It grows violently Keeps me from feeling weak I'm failing to see (now I'm failing to see) What grows from the seeds of deceit (that hope grows from deceit) Or am I just to blind to see (now I'm too blind to see) It's time that weighs on me The suffering in me Hasn't got me beat I tries and tries to keep Me from being free But the hope in me Won't let me taste defeat It grows endlessly Keeps me off my knees I'm failing to see (now I'm failing to see) What grows from the seeds of deceit (that hope grows from deceit) Or am I just to blind to see (now I'm too blind to see) It's time that weighs on me
8.
Focus 03:23
You never really know where it's coming from until it's already here The feeling like you've been beat into the ground and everything you think you know disappears But will I let it break me down? Can I stand up from the ground? And in this moment I will know it and I can Can't take my life from me If it was all I had to give And if it I lost anyway Then it wasn't my time to live But ya know I'd come back and try it all again And on my second time around I'd put it all on the line Make sure to take it all Leave nothing out to dry Cause you know Time is just one more thing we waste All I ever I thought I would amount to be was nothing more then an empty dream But I chased it down until I found it wasn't the dream for me If I let it die right here Is it still alive somewhere? And in this moment I will know it And I can And I know I lost my way But it'll find me again When the time is right when the world is wrong When the worst thoughts settle in Then I'll know All I am is what I'll always be And then I'll never need to wonder again Whats the worst that could happen to me Self doubt finding it's way in Is as bad as bad can be But ya know I don't want to let me down again Now that I've been down every road I know wasn't paved for me I find comfort living in this moment of clarity But what will happen when it fades? Will a new one come my way? And this moment Is golden And I can Focus

Level Out 03:08
Crash ready now as I embrace the day I keep my hands held steady and my head on straight And I wander through the streets in the the city at night Until it seems to me all in the world is right Then I fall through the cracks that split my mind And separate me from the city that I'm leaving behind As I look back now at what it did to me I see it set aside the worst of what was soon to be But it's a long way to go before we break through the atmosphere But we're off and when the end of the journey is near We'll greet death with a gift of smiles and tears But it's still a long way to go Running now with the speed of a bullet Can't slow down caught in the movement Firing on all cylinders now The speed is catching up to me I'm burning out As the trail I left goes up in smoke I know the only thing that to stop me is if throttle chokes And it's a long way to go before we crash through the atmospehere But our descent has begun and the end of the journey I fear In time will come and we'll greet it with smiles and tears But it's still a long way to go We'll level out
10.
Sun went down Too slow tonight To let the moon shine in Still I walked On All throughout the night And I Will hold This blinding light as it glows But if it fades And retreats Can I beat my greatest enemy Once I found What It was I was looking For I swore To Never let it go and In this moment I felt relief But knew it wouldn't last Fell victim to Signs of grief As the moment passed And so Unfolds It's been hiding all along In a place Unseen On a road that leads to no true victory So I Will go Down this winding road alone And I will take With me Nothing but my broken memory Words unspoke I silently made it through the night alone My fate unknown Bonds unbroke Slipping into distant misery And left to fight it on my own
11.
Restless 03:13
A new day hits Just like a punch right to the face It's another 24 and it's a brand new bitter taste I'm feeling restless now I'm bored again Gotta find a new place That I ain't ever been I'm wearing out I'm wearing thin I'm throwing caution To the wind I've seen every inch of this town There's nothing new Locked in this cage again And I'm coming unglued Gotta find a new path Gotta pave a new road Cause I'll spend my dying breath Digging out of this fucking hole I'm wearing out I'm wearing thin I'm throwing caution To the wind I'm breaking out I'm breaking in Been feeling restless All over again
12.
Can't remember what was said So I'll make it up instead Let the good fight begin And maybe soon we'll see it's end Make a last stand for the truth Cause it's all I ever knew It's never black and white to me I see the colors in between Yea I'll go Even if I go alone Once more into the fray Into the last good fight I'll ever know Live and die on this day Live or die on this day There's a time and a place But I can't wait and I don't know where it is I'll live or die either way Live or die either way Yea I'll go Even if I go alone And I know These wars are never won But I'll go Even if I go alone And I hope you know I'll carry on
