Comparing 03:37
lyrics
buy track
I could try I could try I could try to help you I could try to make you understand Who I am I could use big words I could hand you a paper I could dress real nice I could show you a number But I'm not the man I once was I'm not the man I once was It took me a long time but I finally realized That there must be more to life And I'm not the man I once was I'm not the man I once was It took me a long time but I finally realized That there's so much more to life Then comparing my life to another Comparing my life to another Comparing my life to another Comparing my life to another If I try If I try If I try to understand The pain we all must have I can gain a new perspective And change the way I live I'm not the man I once was I'm not the man I once was It took me a long time but I finally realized That there must be more to life And I'm not the man I once was I'm not the man I once was Well I finally realized that I don't have much time And there's so much more to life Then comparing our lives to each other Comparing our lives to each other Comparing our lives to each other Comparing our lives to each other I'm not the man I once was I'm not the man I once was It took me a long time but I finally realize I'm not the man I once was

Dead Eyes 02:57
lyrics
buy track
White lies to pass the noise around Honest words unspoken sinking into the ground I felt the wires restraining my brain I felt my conscious slowly fading away And I couldn't care less about this life And it's constant state of madness Wash me clean, let me know what you mean And frown upon me with your dead eyes again Dead eyes again I want to know what it means to live I want to know what it means, means to exist Forsake me if I'm wrong but I'm certain this isn't it Passing time collecting judgement And dishing it out subconsciously If there is still hope I'll pray that it frees me From my own mediocrity Before my selfish ways Lead me astray again Lead me astray again Lead me astray again

Another Way 05:02
lyrics
buy track
Where do you turn when you're the only source of your problems? I never learned how to make peace with myself. Is there another way to grow? Is there another way to show my love? Is there another opportunity for me to see what I've lost, And let it go? I still can't make any sense of my state of mind But I've been trying to break free I've been trying to find security But I always end up alone Wondering where I should go I'll run around in a circle Just to get back to the start It's getting harder to break the cycle But I'm trying to keep an open mind I have a habit of being selfish And wasting all my time

Who I am 03:37
lyrics
buy track
I tried to follow a symmetrical path But hidden landscapes kept stealing my breath And I don't know why I always leave empty handed I take my life for granted Forbidden feelings deep beneath My aging memory are breaking at the seams Between lines buried underneath Between lines buried underneath I follow and I lead simultaneously I graciously receive and I anxiously perceive I turn away, I'll take away But don't judge me for who I am today For who I am today Dust set in motion Reliant on the constant pain of trust And living for someone else When I could retreat in silence I take friendships for granted Obeyed with distance we never speak Did you still see me breaking at the seams? Between lies the days turn into weeks Between lies the days turned into weeks As I follow and I lead simultaneously I graciously receive and I anxiously perceive I turn away, I'll turn away But don't judge me, don't fucking judge me For who I am today For who I am today For who I am today For who I am

Procrastination 04:37
lyrics
buy track
Every second I'm looking, I'm looking down Waiting for a reason to turn my life around And kill this apathy Achieve my farfetched dreams I've so selfishly, forgotten the little things That make my life so beautiful I'm striving for unattainable goals When all I need has been right in front of my eyes Why strive for anything when I'm only gonna die alone I've lost all of my friends I'm waiting for the bitter end When I finally come to find That all this time I was only living a lie Living a lie Because business can't fulfill me But I bet that it will kill me And I'll have nothing left to show Of the days that I let go That I thought I'd get back in the end Procrastination always wins And while I say goodbye to the things I love I'm so sorry for the nothing I've become And all the things I didn't do that I should've of done All the thing I didn't do that I should've done

I 03:27
lyrics
buy track
I have to fight to get out of bed I have to lie just to stay ahead For five years I've sat and waited For a sign, to save me from myself And I was searching for an excuse I was waiting for the right time When i wake up and it's all the same I feel my life passing me by I regret a lot of things I make a lot of claims That I know in my heart are just not true I'll say anything to ease you mind but still won't follow through I think I owe it to myself to tell the truth And stop pretending to be something that I'm not

Failures 02:43
lyrics
buy track
I feel the failures of tomorrow Always hanging over my head And all these sudden bursts of sorrow Have taken me out of my element And I could not predict this But this is where I am So I guess I just accept it And live the best that I can The man that you see today Is the reflection of a lifetime of pain But I've selected my roles And I may have to take it slow But there's only one way to go From here... And I could not predict this But this is where I am So I guess I just accept it And live the best that I can Oh I could not predict this But this is where I am So I guess I'll just accept it And live the best that I can

From Being Lost 03:41
lyrics
buy track
When I come back to this place I have a moment where I rely on the past It carries me back to the days when life was simple And everything didn't move so fast Those days are far away from being lost Far, far, away Those days are far away from being lost Far, far, away When I come back to this place I have a vision of everything I was before When I come back to this place The premonition of who I'll be walks out the door And I find myself in a better state of mind I find myself forgetting about time And using my whole heart when I decide I know I've grown as I've relinquished so much pride

Hindsight 03:59
lyrics
buy track
Hindsight never served me too well All it did was lead my mind into the darkest pits of hell And I never found any relief In listening to the lies you told me That I knew I shouldn't believe But I trusted you My rage has finally shown its face And it's ugly to the bitter core But I am not suppressing it I can't hold it back anymore I want you to hear this I want you to hear me say I'm not turning around this time I'm not turning a blind eye Or a deaf ear, I hear your voice and it's crystal clear You're not ready to change and that's okay Just stay away from me Well you weren't in a position to realize there was someone else Who was affected by the lies that you were telling to yourself And you know I know things will never change between us You know I know things will never change between us I want you to hear this I want you you to hear me say I want you to feel this I want you to see me walk away I'm not turning around this time I'm not turning a blind eye Or a deaf ear, I hear your voice and it's crystal clear You're not ready to change and that's okay Just stay away from me

Epiphany 03:32
lyrics
buy track
Why do I base my existence around insignificant Things that Ive desired in my mind? Time's reminiscent of my repetitions But I just hope to see before I'm blind All in an instant I was thinking about why I'm not afraid to die All in an instant I was dreaming about opening my eyes When will I cease to carry these dark burdens? Apathetic lapses intertwined They are anomalies provoked inexplicably But Ive begun to think they were designed for me All in an instant, I was thinking about why I'm not afraid to die All in an instant, I was dreaming about opening my eyes All in an instant I'm opening my eyes
