Track Name: Coming Clean
Throw away everything that made routine worthy
Disregard contentment
Nothing here stays golden if you don't make it
Let go

I accept that nothing can be undone
It's time to move on be a better man
Look ahead at what's to come
Tear through these holds
And break the mold

Shake the sun
Reveal dreams left unspoken
I've rid myself of complacency
Of everything that was pushing me back from living
I'll find myself standing tall above the rest
Going against the grain
of everything that was keeping me, from everything

We can change
We can change, for the better
We can change, open your eyes
Free your mind

Open your eyes
Free your mind

I've been shocked at how unfortunate so many lives have become
This isn't me singing the same old song
Tides will rise, clouds will roll
I have learned from this and I have grown
After searching for so long
I've finally found my sense of purpose and I know where I belong

I know where I belong
Track Name: Faith
Truth be told, even when I was young I was never sold
Shove it down the throats of the weak minded
play to their emotions, but don't ever tell me
to look to the sky without seeing what's in front of me

I will remain true to myself
I live this life in the name of no one
As they flock like sheep

Left to be led astray, left with nothing but their beliefs
Led astray begging the question (x2)

Where is he now? (x3)

So spin another story, tell another lie
Seek what you see as right
The remedy to conviction
Consummation
But don't ever tell me
to look to the sky without seeing what's in front of me

Tunnel vision
To blind to see
That this ship is sinking
No heaven or hell, just a fairy tale
I won't listen without evidence
I won't stand for it

Brother open your eyes, it kills me
To see you living life like you're waiting to die

So I'll take this with a grain of salt, and I'll wait for you to come to sense
As we

As we reclaim a voice once lost (x3)
Under one god

As we reclaim a voice one lost, under one god
Track Name: Cognizance (feat. Andrew Buchanan)
I can feel it in my bones
The shackles have fallen off
The echo of opportunity lost haunts no more

Embrace every day
I choose this over a life spent rotting away
Rotting away

The catalyst for pushing one's self
the only thing guaranteed is the time you have now
I'd rather die for what i believe than live a life without meaning

Why should I love a world that won't show me the same in return?

Take this (x2)
Take this for what it is

We are all runaways, striving to find our home
A journey taken on our own

Trial and tribulation, stare in the face of determination and integrity
You will never get the best of me

I've worked so hard to make this mine and I know now I am
all that i need to be
(We are all runaways striving to find our home)
I've never felt more sure of anything
(We are all runaways striving to find our home)
This is our calling

This is our calling
Our time is now
Track Name: Atticus Finch
eyes blinded by chemicals, my ignorance showed
spoon fed, knife to my neck
standing alone with only ashes left
there's no glory in petty theft, no glamour in addiction
the values that you've never known have left you all alone

breath in. let the smok fill your lungs
it's only a matter of time before the cancer comes knocking
i refuse to let this bury me, wish you could say the same
wrapped up in false dignity

you;re spotting
you;re spotting, but there is no train coming

rain down digression, pick up the pieces
strung together by a numb regard for everything and everyone
a constant cycle now falling apart
we both know, we both know this was doomed from the start

forgetting what it is to dream, fucking sleepless
living seemed so nostalgic
i grew sick of losing my head, what you give is what you get
what you give is what you get

let's take it back to the start again, make amends
start again, my beginning and my end

what you give is what you get
Track Name: In Memoriam
the dirt beneath my feet, embodied state of mind
regret filled my lungs knowing you had gone
all i could think was "where did we go wrong?"
where did we go wrong?

i'm so lost at sea, wayward as waves crash around me
solace has never been. such a constant struggle to find

but i know i deserve a chance
to make do and mend
but there's no turning back

the lonely hearts of the fallen will be, they will be remembered
every lost soul stolen to early, never fade away

the time has come for things to change
with your words in mind i will stand strong
i am greater than this
we are the fortunate ones
