"NEW HORIZONS" (2015)

SKYLINES / As we hide away in this everlasting hope / Take in the action, through this refraction / As we’re out of place / 
In this devastating prose  / Fake a reaction, but in this refrain / Drift away, we’re miles from here / In our minds we falter /
Never look back to this future / Drift away, we’re miles from here / Through our self made madness / Just can’t let this fade to grey / As they live to play in this fading decadence / You can see the cracks show In the lives we let go / Over complicate, underestimate and dream  / We save distractions to relieve the pain / No-one ever knows, You can’t see everything ahead / No-one ever knows, You can’t see everything / Finally fight through breakdown / Under the past from dark to light / After the rest we lose ourselves tonight / Drift away. 

THE BLINDSIDE / Straight out the blindside just to claim us all / Distract attention from the real issues / A blank reflection starts to give and grow / Just can’t live to count on, Just can’t count to live for / From the inside, still in decline / Through darkest times we fall for it / Intensified and criticised / lay justified we fall for this / Nothing, out of the broke faith / How do we change this? / To make this and something worth living / Into the blank space left by the graceless / Can we make this something again? (Make us worth something again) /Feels out of left field to the first unknown / We knew the pressures underneath the cause / Dressed up in wise words to convince us all / We see through the stained glass, to the first and last stance /And now that they promise the world when all we can reach is the sky / To admit to deceive and conspire / On the last debt to keep us alive. 

FRACTURES / Our time is running out / Backs against the wall holding on to bricks and pieces / Slowing down, break into a crawl / Last to face us all / Descend into default / The day will come to take away your fate / It’s not late to change the way / It’s down to us and we sleep in silence Mouths closed with last reactions / No information, too far to feel the fractures / Our time is running out / Backs against the wall holding on to bricks and pieces / Slowing down, break into a crawl / Last to face us all / This future’s killing us and you / This future’s killing us and you.

DAMAGE CONTROL / Confide to change their minds with honesty / Can’t lie to live your life in vacancy / We choose to take this path, it’s not your way / High, turning cycles in your mind Hide in safety of this / One by One, with damage done say we can’t fix this on our own / All that we have is broken in / We built this without you / We can kill this without you / ’Til the last breath to come through / We built this without you / We can kill this without you / We’re the first blade to cut through / Decline to reconcile /Emergencies concede and set to please Your selfish breed / You chose to take your place and liberties.

ONE MORE ENEMY / Every time we call you out / Shatters all this confidence / Everything’s just better when you’re gone Anytime they play you down /And settle for no residence /That never calls and never fades away / And as this constant falls to show us who you are / Through these blackened eyes, We see these cracks through light / One more enemy / Every time you can’t back down, covers this with evidence / Always less than perfect than it seems / Anytime you fight this out, soaked in your irrelevance / It’s never safe and never faultless / Too late the angers grown into hate and set to burn you / Last call for second chances thrown away / One more enemy. 

LOST ON YOU / Paint this picture of all that you want to be / Time past this, closing these doors on me / See right through this / Know what you want and more / Just lost in not holding out for you / You’re the only one that knows / But it’s come to this / You’re the only one that shows / If we’re giving in / You’re fading out of view tonight / Can we begin / Before this always goes to waste / Lost in fiction / All that you want to feel / Just ask to cast off these lights on me / Fight affliction / Crave what you can’t ignore / This past is present and future’s cold /All is lost on you.

SMOKE AND MIRRORS / All they see is blind fascination our way / All they know is procrastinating out of this / Still there’s one thing certain here / How we come to call this ours / All we see is one path or nothing out of this / As time goes by against the grain / It’s never been too good enough for you / As it’s adding up, it’s not enough / To stay right here and out of touch / This time goes by against the grain / All this means is mind lacerations can’t heal yet / Can’t conceive that there’s more to this than surfaces / All the questions still remain / Of the answers built on our pain / What they see is through smoke and mirrors blind again / As time goes by against the grain / It’s never been too good enough for you / As it’s adding up, it’s not enough / To stay right here and out of touch / This time goes by against the grain / From the black holes and dark rays in sunsets / To the oceans that take us away / Against the grain / Against us.

BROKEN LINES / Guilt will catch you when you’re slowing down / A gut reaction to destroy your crown / Like losing a saint /Built on bridges that are still torn down / A conversation to dissolve this sound / We’re losing a saint / Feel close to breaking / So close to face your soul / Still elevating, we’re not the same / Break what you can take from this / You’ll never be a part / All that we can take from this is everything you’re not / Drown the conscience of a best laid plan / The unravelling and underhand Of losing a saint / A forced hand backwards like a cross to bear / With no religion left to take us there, Just losing a saint / Still first to fake it / Too far to gain control / Through all the waiting, we’re not the same / Too hard to walk on broken lines / We count these blessings in disguise / Can’t take it all.

HEAD COUNT / This time you feel so satisfied with yourself / In this instance playing with their minds / Through all this time we set aside / For what becomes a digress, just a fake mess / Got no guts left / Can’t control all these thoughts that come in / You don’t know how long it’s been / And never long to fall / We’ve all been on the letter / Heart too hard, a place to bury denial / You’ll never learn if you don’t hurt / (Even here still standing) / As we crash and burn through another turn / (As the lights go down here) / If we’re not immune, have ourselves to prove / We close the skin on this open wound / You’ll never learn if you don’t hurt / Outside the need to just confide with yourself / From this distance, set to falsify / Add all this guilt you built inside / Remorse becomes your resort / Just a mind wreck, got no luck left / Face down in the sound, all our fears they come alive / We’re still standing one by one / Head count, we found all these things they come around / Still standing on the line / Blast to the past as the blame shifts / To detract from the facts makes us jaded / Safe from the Kings with two faces /Hand that were tied now are left alone.

LAST SALUTE / Words, wasted all the time / Our lives are few and far between us / Can’t relate the lies / Fighting all the time / Sides are blurred on times too late / Our mistakes are too blind to comply / Our lives, no more blind faith in the night / As we stare too close to proof / Collide with our hope that never died / And we save the last salute / Words, left us all the time / Our graves are far too high to take yet / Bodies ache and burn / Run far and learn, stay down and die / All we were ever asking is too wrong to reply / Awake, along, enough / We bleed out ’til dry again / Tonight we’re told this before /The trust inside /As we agonise, crown the allies / Decline, no more fate un-satisfied / Save the last salute.

THE GREAT DIVIDE / As the days seem darker / Are we just before the dawn? / Do the nights burn brighter / Can you wait for dusk to fall / The space between us / The chaos in the air / You can taste the sweet salt of separation here / On our own way out here / Wrong way down from out this / If this catalyst survives / These dead ends start to feel alive / Inside ourselves are we too close to know / Outside us all, as far as we can reach / The false divide / Our dead ends start to feel alive / If the hours seem longer / They catch you killing time / Can we count these seconds / As we sync ourselves tonight / Our thoughts come closer / Somewhere down the line / In the distance as the signal dies / Are we the ones that know / We blame this on ourselves enough / To break the sense out of us / Inside ourselves are we too close to know / Outside us all, as far as we can reach the false divide / These dead ends start to feel alive again.

 

"SIGNS" (2013) 

WHO WE ARE / Next Time I'll believe when I see things / Nothing's set in stone / Too tight is the grip that we're feeling / Still we can't let go / Take us all in the form of falling / Make the call to ignore the warnings / As you scream like you know what's coming / Don't believe war they say they think they know / Take time to justify our hearts can run our minds / Afraid of what they'll find / And now we can't change the fact we never attacked, always defended / Too late to even look back / Now you know who we are / Next time I won't leave this to reason / Nothing's sealed to fate / This luck's made from guts, sweat and bleeding / While they deliberate / Too late to even look back / The past that we had, what we never became / If we are faces in vain / Too lost to blame, too gone to look for / We keep this lost feeling back / Cut from the fact / Now you know who we are.

TRIAL & ERROR / As we're facing the fear and corruption / And they know that we're gaining control / Through disorder and in contradiction / They're replacing the new for the old / And they'll never see things coming our way / For the ones that have given and fallen / Left to watch as we break away / I can't hide away from what they say / When everything is clearer now / And we break away from all this / Live for the sound and answer the calling / Pick out the fights to save when we're strong / Take back the rights and hit the ground running now / And we're under the night we light up the system / Into the fold to save what we own / Chase down the town and kill to keep calling out / They're defacing the world through disruption / To admit that the games set to change  / Forced our hands to accept this affliction / No resolve from the world we became / And they'll never see things coming our way / We're the ones that have given and fallen / Count the cost as we break away.

BARRIERS / Time Waits for no man / Sent here to break you down / Can't wait for closure / Sick of it all / These tracks we trace, they never lead home / Just let go while the memories cold / They’re fast asleep while we’re stained with thoughts / Of all we know is we’ll never resort to their way of feeling disdain / Feeding the game again / We’re feeling the way / Free from the pain again / I believe in, chase this feeling I will get this out / Time will take this, from this clenched fist / I will get you out these barriers / There’s just disgrace where there’s your mass distraction / Too far away, out of reach, call to action / Wide awake we collide with your recall / Never thought you’d be bought / Now it’s come to this.

DIFFERENCE / Take out, break down and face this / Heads down, hands up and claim this / All out, making the calls for you / Close up, fade in and hold out / Low down, called in and played out / Lay down taking this one for you / Calling back from something / We said it all we're different / Set in our indifference / Take aim, recoil / Just to save yourself / Reset, reclaim everything / I'm not about to fail it now / Just to feel something / We said it all we're different / Set in our indifference / Bow now to the sound / Is all this heaven sent then? / The difference is we know now, nothing's certain / Lay low in this comedown / We know that something's coming / Watch this time just slow down / Reaching out, reaching out.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR / Break through the lines / While we all take to the skies / Know that we can't stray from the lights / We watch wide awake we head out to this fight with nothing more than what we came with / Nothing more than what we have / All of the times that we waited for / Built up the chance to define us / Wait for the time to align and slow down for nothing / Close to the wires / So close that this desires in disguise / And while the fire it rips through inside / Watch wide awake, we head out to this fight with nothing more than what we came with /Nothing more than what we had / All of the times that we waited for / Look to the skies for a sign and Wait for the call to collide and slow down for nothing / It's time to bend or break now / To chase this, is to crave this / It’s more than the call as the pain hits home / Won’t let these beggars choose our fate / As they waste it, we embrace this / It’s more than us all as the pain hits home / Can’t let these beggars choose our fate.

LEFT TO FADE / Another line, another way to waste away / And now it won't be long / When all the passion and the angers left to fade / We know they'll never know / Kill the aggravation and we'll take it all away / I know they won't let go / Ride the elevation / As we're waiting for the pain to come / And if we just find the meaning / Then we know that we can't be wrong / We all have our reasons / We've come way too far / You're out of sight, so out of mind / Too hard to say / And now we're too far gone / Cut to the wire, in denial, left with grace / And now we're calling out for something / Why should we justify ourselves to you? / When there's no more time or point to prove / Have our say and walk away / Another face, another day too soon / We've come way too far.

WAKE ME UP / Waste the best you never had in slow motion / Raise the wall and self destruct on these faultiness / Crawl from cracks we never made, where's your lifeline / The The shaking hands and broken skin of this all / Can you please wake me up when this is over / Before the skies burn / Can you please wake me up when this is over / Before the skies burn out / Face the hunger to feel alive as this thirst craves / Abandon hope in another glass and watch the lights fade / Sick to death that you're still awake, I'll keep this one line / Breathing out just to clear this taste, it's all that's left / When everything is gone and defaulted / Lost where we belong and faded / This future is closing your hope is draining faster / This future is closing in.

SIGNS / You can smell the fear in here / As they try to cut you down / Can’t get away from this / They will try to shut this out  / Are we abandoned yet? / They will never know / When the signs are crystal clear / You can hear it calling out / If there’s nothing left to lose / If the future feels so far from here / Did we burnout far too soon? / Burn Away / As these voices break and tear / And the words come screaming out / Can’t throw the blame at this / They will try and run you out / Are we abandoned here? / They will never know / When the signs are crystal clear /   You can hear it calling now / If there’s nothing left to lose / If the future feels so far from here / Did we burnout far too soon? / Did you see this coming miles away? / Did we fail this like you knew? / Can we just stop falling? / Can we hold this line forever? / Or burn out like before? / If we face this end we never fall. 

ALIVE (PROMISE IS SAFETY) / To mend this makeshift we all disappear / To end the madness of these side effects / The change is timeless you can't live in fear / Unless we own this we are the infected / Caught in the crossfire of over repair / Forgot who they are / Forgot what they came from / Crave what we wanted and fail to compare / Don't let this in / Don't let this come to this / And if promise is safety / Then can we return? / Before this is empty take me alive / Deflect the ignorance, they all interfere / We clear the gearshift / They miss the direction / Blissfull collision, divisions are clear / Stuck in the mindset / They try to dissect us / When all you thoughts resolve it ends here / Then all that's left is all this noise & sound.

ECHOES / Can't sit here fighting everything / Can't wait for this to slide from view / These echo calls are setting in / Your witness is your weakness / Can we just save the suffering / Won't stand for this to fall apart / These fragile thought stare negative / Waiting here for rhyme or reason / Taking down the saints that they've become / Saving all the lines we mean and / Living off our thoughts to breathe again / Can't sit here watching everything / Not holding out for something new / These words ring out in resonance / This sickness is our weakness / Can't hide from all these elements / Can't wait for this to just break through / Can't keep inside the evidence / Waiting here, breaking down / Saving all the lines and / Waiting here, breaking down, saving all.

SLOW BURN / Don't wait for hate to decipher these messages / Just look for signs that will guide you and I know that / all along, alone we fall / Wait for the moment to fade into nothing / All along alone we fall / Wait for the moment to fade into nothing / Will we ever learn? / Still the fires slow burn / Will we ever Know? / Still the fire's slow burn / Hold this embrace in the face of these enemies / Just hold this line and defy them / Now you know that all along, alone we fall / Wait for the moment to fade into nothing / All along alone we fall wait for the moment to fade into nothing / Will we ever learn? / Still the fires slow burn / Will we ever Know? / Still the fire's slow burn/  Lies burn from ashes are just blown away / Next time we'll come home with nothing / Except ourselves to blame / When the embers die / The more that meets the eye / Lose grip of what you hold / Will we ever learn?
