Intro (free) 01:27
lyrics

I push forward from everything you put me through I'll untie the noose you once wrapped around my neck (x2) I will press on from all the hurt that has brought me down I will strive on so you can see that you were always wrong I'll take a stand (I'll take a stand) A stand for what I believe But you were too blind to ever see I'm down but I'm still not out (Strike back) I never thought you'd push me this far (Strike back) A constant struggle with what's looking back at me in the mirror But now I choose to strike back

Average Scum (free) 02:47
lyrics
download
Alone in a cold world but I'm doing alright You never fucking bothered to see how I was But I'm better without you Whispered in my ear "I'll never leave you" You fed me your fucking lies And to think I put my faith in you I put my faith in you I'm not your shoulder to cry on You turned your back on me Lied to my face You're nothing but a fake And now your words mean nothing to me I've learned that I'm better off alone 'Cause in the end it's just gonna be me holding myself up When am I gonna forget and learn to let go? I've lost stability through your well played shows And after everything you put me through now I know No where to run No where to turn It's something I need to learn You're just another average scum Who needs to recognize what it's become If there's one thing in this life I have learned It's that the only thing you can never escape is yourself Look me in the eyes and lie Tell me everything will be just fine I'm not what you needed Just be real with me

Hypocrite (ft. James Lindamood) (free) 02:27
lyrics
download
Everything you wished for And everything you dreamed from me You soon found out that I could never be I brought you down Making promises I couldn't keep And "sorry" was never good enough I can't be what you need I strive to be what I'm not Separated from what I use to be I let my demons take hold of me What's there to lose When I've lost everything (x2) I can't stand on my own There's no path I can take Lost in life Desolate I don't know What to do because of you I can't be what you need Now I ask myself, "Who am I?" You made your fucking judgements For the world to see Feeding me lies to build yourself up high You're nothing more than just a hypocrite In your eyes I'm just a man full of lies Because I couldn't face what was right in front of me A coward, that's what you've come to be You'll become nothing more than just a memory

Something More (free) 02:18
lyrics
download
All my life I searched for a comfort I never found I was blinded by my possessions but now I push the fear of reality behind me so I can see what's meant to be (What is meant to be) The weight on my back was nothing but the past Now it's clear to me that the path I chose was never meant to be Everything that I thought I needed were all the things That brought out the worst in me Brought out the worst in me After everything, I've learned that I'm the one who makes the change Who makes the change in myself That I can make an impact And not be placed on a shelf You convinced me with your lies But now I see the truth (I know the truth) Where do you draw the line? You can make the change You have control of your actions Just pave your way The bravery inside you Can't be taken away It's your spirit that drives you Just pave your way Just pave your way

Resurgence (free) 02:50
lyrics
download
You are only confined by the walls you build around yourself It's been awhile since I've felt okay I was my only problem I've turned my back on the world So I could make myself believe Believe that there's something more 'Cause through the years I've gained The will to press on The ones who had no faith in me Will see what I'm meant to be That I'm worth more than they say I won't let myself down anymore This is the last time your words get the best of me (x2) I've learned to let go of the things that hold me down Making the best of my mistakes Taking it all day by day I know who I live for And it was never you No it was never you I always knew you were never different from the rest I'll stand up for myself I won't be thrown around All you did was bring me down And now I'm lifting my head up from the ground
6.
Endeavor (free) 02:17
lyrics
download
I'll get back on my feet Because this life's worth living Even when it's unforgiving Now I finally see That the air I breathe The words I speak They can all really mean something Instead of drifting on hopelessly We've all felt alone With no home to call our own But it's not the way it has to be No, we are not slaves to our fears or to our rage The right path is never easy All it takes is a strength of mind Forever onward we push through To find our calling deep inside I know what you want from me But is it what you need? Sometimes the things you want Aren't what you get Your mistakes are something you can't forget But it's in your power whether they take control of you Whether they control you Don't let them control you I'll make the choice for me and listen to my heart What this world asks me to be Is something that will never set me free (x2)

about

The goal of our self titled EP is to tell and show a story. If you take the time to read over the lyrics, you'll start to notice how we start aggressive and negative almost. Throughout the rest of the EP as the songs pass on, it gets more positive. It's showing that although things may seem bad in the beginning everything has its purpose. You alone have the power to make the change in yourself and get back on your feet and live your life to the fullest. That's what this EP is about. Things go bad, we realize it, and we get back on our feet. This is our story to share with you and our goal is that you can connect with and understand us.
