War Cry 05:00
Traitor; you took our land and made us flee Ravaged; our way of life that we had known Watching; I saw your eyes gazing on us Learning; as you've done once I'll do to you Pre Chorus Drag the boy through the water Where in the world was his mother Head cracked wide open Bite the bullet Chorus This is our war cry For our friends who have died Rest in eternal peace Death will be Your release Sickness; the term does not justify Bigot: your eyes cannot see our pain Tears; they only serve to quell your shame Extinction; life's not a game you play Pre Chorus Chorus

Renew 03:24
All things adapt, diversify We must refract in our minds eye Split into few, then join again Be born anew so our souls can transcend Come to an end, begin again Die be reborn like our four seasons We don't know how our lives conclude All these small changes are absolute If you refuse to modulate It will consume you while you ruminate Come to an end, begin again Die be reborn like our four seasons

S.P.I.T. 06:23
Inside I feel dry Deprived and made blind My soul is an empty hole You have no self-control Get away from me Just who do you think I am I was doing fine You wouldn't understand Confessed my passion You left a burden You crave my respect I never gave my consent Get away from me Just who do you think I am I was doing fine You wouldn't understand I thought you were gone But you returned I was paralyzed I didn't learn There was no guarantee That you'd make me believe You'd have made a masterpiece But you’d leave it incomplete You made me stay Everyday It all decayed There was no guarantee That you'd make a masterpiece Get away from me Just who do you think I am I was doing fine You wouldn't understand I thought you were gone But you returned What will make you learn GET AWAY FROM ME

Just Leave 03:48
I was my own man Then you came with your own plans I can't do your toxic waste I'm out of touch and out of place Chorus How about you do a little more leaving? How about a little less wasting my time? Well this town ain't big enough for you and I I am so tired dear I can't stand being near You when you're sprouting lies I see through your disguise Chorus Chorus

Dead End 04:24
Oh, is this a dead end How do you know, now? And oh, is this our love's end How do you know, how? And oh, is that what you meant Didn't you know how? And oh, it wasn't that you left You changed somehow Oh, what we had wasn’t perfect It was pretty grand And now, as a friend Are you sure You aren't along a dead end? No, I can't pretend To know where to go now And oh, I see your silhouette You lost your crown Oh what we had was my heart placed in your hands And now, as a friend Are you really sure You aren't along a dead end... again? Oh what we had wasn't grand it wasn’t what we planned And now, I'm not your friend But are you sure You aren't along a dead end, again?

Drowning 04:31
I can’t find my way today I wish that I could see But there isn’t any light I live in a black hole Where there is no hope Nothing but endless fight This tonic is bottomless, and I don’t know if, if I can swim I descend into, to ethanol, it pulls me in Don’t you wish that you could be Someone just like me Floating in this endless sea And this, this prison cell’s unbearable I thought I was free Refrain I’m losing grip on my soul I’m almost at, at my end Now my lungs, my lungs are full I race towards, towards my end As I close my eyes for good I think that I can see An island in that endless sea And I know that I could I could have changed my my destiny Refrain

Bay Street 03:45
Refrain Bay Street, where I fell in love Down on Bay Street, couldn’t get enough Oh Bay Street, my heart was won When I met my love She walked in with that pretty face Mauve dress with teal lace Looked at me with those sky blue eyes I was in for a big surprise Refrain She said her name meant bright and clear I said, “well, that suits you dear” Arm in arm we walked down Bay Talking the day away Refrain She walked in with that pretty face Arm in arm we walked away Refrain

Darling Dear 05:51
I thought I had found my golden path That would lead me from the dark Rushing towards my ending Long ago I thought I had my plan But God laughed and he said Be careful what you think is love And I’ve seen days turn to weeks The sight of blush in your cheeks Trust me, and I’ll be right here Waiting on your call my darling dear When we were young you made the first move You kissed me and it soothed The anxiousness inside my heart Four years time; I finally realized You’ve been here all my life Holding close when I was near I’ve seen weeks turn to months Your smile makes my heart jump Trust me, I’ll be right here Waiting on your call my darling dear I had seen you leave so many times before How could I stand and watch it anymore The feeling overcame me and I couldn’t Let you go until you knew how much I loved you my darling dear So here I stand, proud, without anymore regret Lost in your eyes not sure what to expect Awaiting what you have to say now; and much to my surprise you feel the same You know I love you my darling dear Two year’s time I’ve finally found my smile Hidden in plain sight, deep within your heart I know one day that we will become whole I promise on my soul always to be faithful Cause I’ve seen months turn to years You’ve stopped all of my fears Trust me, I’ll be right here Waiting on your hand my darling dear

Listen 06:48
I don't know Which way  the wind will blow but we will grow Into every tomorrow Listen Without you I am incomplete - I am incomplete I want you to listen To my heartbeat - to my heartbeat Sight unseen You are my nectarine Your song oscine So sweet and pristine Listen Précis My giving tree You picked up My debris You found me Lost at sea It's not luck We're meant to be Listen Without you I am incomplete I proclaim That our love remains Through hurricanes And shattered windowpanes Listen Without you I am incomplete - I am incomplete I want you to listen To my heartbeat - to my heartbeat

Never Forget 01:51
“All I felt was, there was doubt. And I wasn’t sure where I was going, what I was doing, how I was gonna move forward from where I was. And I was stuck. I kept trying to get out, but it kept pulling me back in.” “Sometimes those voices that are talking to you, are trying to drag you down. And we’re all a victim of, of the voices that are there from the past. The things that come back to haunt us. But you know that those voices are not right. That’s the part you’ve gotta remember.” “If it’s only in there then that’s where it can stay ‘cause the rest of the world is gonna be calling out loudly… maybe I’m not holding myself in high regard, all the time, or the voice is there. But that doesn’t mean anyone else is holding me down.” “You’ve still gotta challenge that… negativity. Ground yourself and then you can go back in and challenge your thoughts. These are the lessons, the things you really need to remind yourself of.” “Because you’re not going to forget, just embrace the adventure.” “From what you’ve learned in this past year, what do you need to do to keep… on a good path?” “To keep… fighting the negativity.”

Snow 08:34
Somewhere deep within my broken mind I thought I had finally hit the bottom. Fetal and drained of all my joy; lacking the energy. Dwindled professionally; lost my drive, turned back to survival Would ask for help; but never retained, the things that they would say to me It took an intervention for me to hear That I was hurting myself trying to be Someone else other than who I've always been So just watch what I'll become! I opened my heart and finally believed The fire inside that drove me to try I’ll live for the day; with her words in my mem’ry "She is waiting for snow As she watches the sky She is praying it will come" I had to analyze my past to see where I wanna be Escape this dead end path I walk; void of morality I poured myself onto the page, rewriting until I found The smile that I lost, I overwhelmed myself! I opened my heart and finally believed The fire inside that drove me to try I’ll live for the day; with her words in my mem’ry "She is waiting for snow As she watches the sky She is praying it will come" Let your light resonate; and brighten the world Let your smile be contagious to all those you love And never forget, you are the mightiest! “Sometimes just listening is enough.” “Sometimes it’s not even about being physically there… it’s just… listening.”
