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
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
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
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
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
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.
