Welcome, again.

Hello and let me apologize, It's been quite a while. First of all, i went ahead and deleted a ton of posts from about 2 years ago when i initially started this blog, I had initially hoped to document the writing process for "Is This Goodbye?" but i never kept up with it, and all that was left were references to songs that didn't make the cut. It's funny how irrelevant documenting an album process becomes over time if you dont keep up with it. If i left them there it would be like showing points B , and C without showing A , D , E, and F and would most certainly lead to more questions that I'm not sure i could even answer at this point.

Anyway, the album is out (finally) and i couldn't be happier with it. We are doing some cool things year to really give it the push i think it deserves. My hope with this blog is to keep a 'Tour Diary' of sorts for the upcoming "Til Death Tour' in which we will be supporting our friends Aesthetic Perfection and Surgyn. The plan is, a bunch of dudes will jump in a van crisscross North America fueled by Vodka. So it's pretty much going to be a good time and should lead to some interesting stories.

Witness To Our Collapse [Lyrics]

Everything I Have 

Changing sense of place. I left before the rope got thin. Dead set on memories. Realized I walked the finest lines. I gave you everything I have. Treading waters much too deep. Blood soaked and torn away from here. You were my biggest fear. Self worth, and the path to prevail. Things change but I will never fail. I'll bleed dry another day. I saw what was torn away from me. Fed this so constantly. It's time to make new promises. Beating down what’s thought of me. I didn’t think that you would be here. Nothing ventured, Nothing gained. Time to take away all the pain. Walk away and just forget this. Leave me here for all to witness. Let me make all the wrongs right. Let me stand and win this fight. This has left me emotionally scarred. This is the truth and pain of what we are. I got to face the depths of below, to rid myself of a hurt that you must know. Maybe if you learn we can start again. But for now, this is how it has to end. If you don’t understand what it takes to look past, you’ve become a witness to our collapse. I’ll rise above the abuse to move on. I’ll be reborn out of pain that will soon be gone. Everything in my life has changed. A lesson learned with a moral that will remain.....

Failsafe 

All this time i was told i was always wrong. Set to fail in this "life" if that’s what it's called. It didn’t have to be this way. But i so naive and bought into those games. Now it's time to take back my world. Rip away all the pain that I’ve endured. Right now I'll fight. I will prevail. Now its time to make good on all those things I’ve said. Turn this around make it worth the tears I have shed. I shout. I scream. Let me follow my dreams. I know that it's my time to replace all the hopes i have wasted away. My eyes now look to tomorrow. I will not let my goals be swallowed in a world where there is no life. I’ll rip away all the walls that have sufficed this pain in my heart. it will die tonight. even though my soul will still be scarred i will take this hurt and tear it apart. I’ll be reborn. A new me, un-scorn. And when i finally return. I will be your only one. I will take your pain away. We will see the setting sun. I will pick up the pieces of your shattered dreams. I will tear down the walls so you can finally see. I will open your heart so there is room for me. I will restore your faith so you can start to believe. To begin again and take the pain away. We can wake up now to see another day. Inside we'll end of tragedy. It will never be this way again. Now it's time for you to depend on me and when the sky turns black and all the rain pours down. i will keep you close, a safer place will be found. cause one day the bluest skies will emerge and all the hurt within you will be purged. Right now i will take away all this pain. Right now i will take away all this pain.....

Hold On

You fall away from me and I’m here left with all your pain. I swear that it wont end like this. I stand behind you still just steps away so you can reach your hand out to hold on to me. Waking up here where you left me. Trying to put this all together. Things are said, and words are spoken. Lives have changed and bonds are broken. You have decided  to walk away and left me here with all our pain. If i could change i swear i would but no reasons understood. With every day that passes me. It seems like we will never be again. But tell me now what I should do when every thought i think is of you. I cant help what bothers me. Its just so hard when I believe that this could work, i swear it could just give me a chance and you'll see. If outside forces pulled you away then why does this hurt just the same. If there's nothing wrong inside with me then why am i the one that’s lonely. if you left now only to return, then why do want me to forget this, If it's us that you forsake. please just say it to my face....

Shelter

A cry for shelter from the coming storm. A fate mistaken for our children unborn. A fight lost inside. Our gods left crucified. a choice made unto all. Our backs are to the wall. The victory is the battle won inside. The darkness recedes and the panic lifts in time. Things may change but our message is in stone. Our lives were lost, now their never to be alone. These battles rage in mother natures eyes. Our lives are led back though all hope has demised. Buildings are raised and all our faith is restored. Humanity's strength will show the gods we've endured The fight will go on even though we've survived. Our time is now to redefine our whole lives. When darkness falls and all our logic has failed Believe in yourself and show the world you prevailed. The victory is the battle won inside. The darkness recedes and the panic lifts in time. Things may change but our message is in stone. A life once lost but now never will be alone....

Witness to our Collapse

Standing on the outside looking in. Staring into the vacant eyes of a worthless generation. When your too tired to fight to dumb to find the answers that will open your eyes. is doing nothing now the choice you've made?. has living idle now become your fate? I hope that one day soon your eyes will see. That your own self doubt  is your atrocity. Your worth is so much more than you'll ever know....its time to take control and reclaim your soul.....

Remnants of a dead age

We're souls left in solitude. We're waking up the world. We planned that we would be here to watch it all unfold. Our time is now. We cannot go back. this is the dawning of our rage. We left our lives for a greater purpose, to watch this all take place. In time, we'll destroy your homes Take away your lives, Take away your pain. In time, We'll steal your souls. Reinvent our ways, and do it all again. In time, you'll see the power you'll feel the fear, you will divide. In time. you will know our names You will live our ways in this solvent age in time. Fall back into this dying age. You wont remember who you were. We gave you life, and we'll take it away. Just as soon as we return The mind will snap, And you'll give in and you'll forget the lives you gave. You'll follow us down into our dying existence and our gift will be your graves. Nothing now will ever be the same. We took their lives, but not the blame for this deconstruction of truth, Through the noise the weak are now left without a voice. tried so hard to understand but there's a greater evil inside your plans when nothing changes and nothing stays i hope you see the error of your ways. open your eyes and watch the world around you die. we are the remnants of a dead age....

No Trace To Love

A lie I’ve heard throughout the years repeats itself again. The names and faces always change but the same words echo in the end. I thought that you were different and I thought that this was really you. But this has ended just the same with no truth left to hold on to. No trace. There’s no trace of love to save us. No trace. There's no trace to love to save us. When everything’s changed and our lives have been scarred. There is no truth left to save who we are. There’s no trace. No trace of love for me in your eyes. How can you just say these lies directly to my face? What makes you so sure that you can possibly replace? Why cant you now speak the truth and please just ease my mind? If you went to him to fulfill a void don’t leave here me without the truth behind your eyes. Why do you always keep the truth inside? Don’t tell me I should be ok when you’re asleep at night warm next to him. I've been alone now for all this time now but you can’t tell me that you've also been. I don’t know how you feel inside those are words you'd never say I don’t know if your lost and confused or if I’m just a pawn in a twisted game. You have no idea how this feels so don’t tell me how I should act cause' you don’t know how this fucking feels so please don’t tell me to relax. You can’t tell me this was all in vain after the words you spoke to me in my arms. I really wish you'd get your story straight cause' right now I see past your charm....

Dawn Of Fate

Believe the destruction. This future may bring. A world of corruption. Where no angels sing. This is our creation. It believes in our lies. We will push it further. Into our own demise. In death's deconstruction we left it all behind. The dream for peace and the hope for mankind. In the darkest times the fate we could have changed has buried our families and erased our names. We have started Armageddon. In this world we have lost it all. Hope is buried and we have fallen to far. The light we saw has left this structure. Existence is this life has ruptured. As the darkness takes over and death is near. The ones who are buried have nothing to fear. Frozen we are in a world so hollow. Buried alive where no one will follow. Nothing can bury our past. An ending we created For all the shame and the lives worn thin. Nothing else can be related. In a time where all this hate makes sense. Their fallen lives will be the evidence. There is no right in this fucking game Many have lost but tell me who will gain?. Now the stage is set. For all human extinction. Nothing can change these tides. The whole world is sinking. Change. We have started Armageddon

Save Yourself

Pray to the god that you follow. Watch your own life slip away. Wonder why your life's so hollow. This will be the price you pay. For eternity, a place you know but whoever told you that's where you'd go? Is that where you were before you lived? Death's got you so afraid there's nothing you wouldn’t give to save yourself from your damnation. Forgive me father. For I was wrong. I stand to question. Your only son. Look at me with a face so shallow. Beaten torn and ripped away Stand before me like your humbled. But you really have nothing more to say. This is eternity, a place you'll know. but who ever told you that’s where you'd go? Cause hell is on earth, there is no escape, so crucify yourself and die in your own name. Why don’t you save yourself? Say your prayers in solitude. Beg whichever god you choose. If that’s what helps you sleep at night. If that’s what justifies your right to destroy all humanity in his name. cause that way someone can take the blame. Why is it that faith's so blind? and why is all your truth so hard to find? if one day i am proven wrong and god was right here all along i'll be with you on your knees praying like you, and begging please to save me.....

Butterfly Wings [My Only Hope]

Starting again with a choice to accept. Moving on without a thought of regret. Tried so hard to fit all the pieces but it's falling apart and we're not the reason. I wish I could just fade away. So I can come back to you when it's time to stay. But for now the world is just so l only without your smile left to console me. I know I’m not perfect but you've made me the best I’ve been, my only hope is that all the pain inside will run so far away from you...and I know you want that too. My life has been not the same, without your smile to take away my fears, I know, I just want to do the same for you…and I hope you want that too. You’re not alone but you don’t even know it. I know it's hard, but just smile, a little bit. I know your scared, cause' I am too but we have to be stronger then what is hurting you. The choices you made, are the hardest in life, but I know you well, and I’m sure you did what's right. The people you lost are all still with you. Your memories of them will always see things through. I lie awake at night. Wishing your body was next to mine, and when you find your solace and peace of mind. I just hope you remember the one you left behind. I know there's a long way to go until we're far from pain. But if we stand here together I will shoulder all the blame. If you let down your guard and let me in to see heart, we can heal what was scarred and happiness will finally start...
