Lyrics and vocals by Matt Aldawood:
I'm not scared of death
death is scared of me
or so I've convinced myself
I feel light and free
a cool breeze and a sunset
but when it sets will you feel set
or will you pile onto your regret?
so don't be kid
don't make a sound
don't make me turn this fucking car around
or split an atom and destroy a town
you might not like what's inside my head
so skip this track, listen to Forest's instead
I sleep on the floor
because there's no room for me in your bed anymore
well what is new
I think I'm out growing you
but there's no room inside my head so I'll go outside
I prefer to be the one who makes the call
I'll decide to end it all
as my lungs dissipate all their worth
I'll think back to my humble birth
did I contribute more than I took?
I wish I could burn to death
you won't miss me when I'm gone
yeah, this is goodbye

To Where I Was

Lyrics and vocals by Forest Waldorf:
slow down
everything's not what it seems
enveloped by the current of another broken eulogy
you won't talk
our flow is fucked
I never truly thought I'd come down
but this all is slowly killing me
now it's all gone
it's all done
tell myself I won't give up
but I can't help myself
another darkened day
has brought me down and to my knees
wake up and my head is killing me
another foggy night of smoke and pouring far too many drinks
I stumble forth into the hall
and every single time I do this
I realize I don't want it at all
it's not what I want
what I want for us
let me speak my thoughts please
killing me
make me weak
I tell myself that I'm okay
gotta learn to quench anxieties
to love myself and just believe
that it's okay and I don't need these things

Before I Was Born

Lyrics and vocals by Raul Ibarra and Weston Wrzesinski:
my crowded mind is always getting in the way
of keeping me balanced and on track
there's just no more space in my head
for another voice telling me the difference between right and wrong
are you fearful of what you can't make out in the mirror?
or are you cheerful that you can't see it clearer?
well, I'm hopeful that there will be the day that you love and love yourself
but you don't
I'd be lying if I told you that I didn't want to tell you in the first place
but its been so long now
I've done all I can to keep those memories away
I'd be lying if I told you if I told you
that I never meant to hurt you
with assumptions of the way you live your life
pretending time doesn't affect you
you can wait as long as you need to
to stop wasting my time
but its been so long now
I've done all I can
to keep those memories away
maybe time will heal

Lyrics and vocals by Gabriel Adair:
where's your plan now?
I thought you had it all planned out?
I'm alone on this floating rock I call my home
I don't need you to feel whole
I can get there on my own
this story is blank on all the pages in my head
felt more like a supporting role in there
my hands were idle at the keys
but no one ever told me
I found a book that no one can read
I'll let it teach me everything
good from bad
black from white
everything grey falls down the chasm in my mind
all I am is all I am

Lyrics and vocals by Weston Wrzesinski and Raul Ibarra:
I've been taking up my time
planning a short change of scenery
I'll be saving every dime to get me through the door
I'll spend at least ten more minutes every day
to try and better myself
like read a book for once
or go outside and get some exercise
maybe I'll feel better
clearer mind
the pieces fall together
another morning I collapse inside myself
with stomach churning and today's plans left on the shelf
wasted learning from the spirits I have felt
the question burns in me
am I a waste of breath?
my hair will fall out
my skin will sag
my eyes will sink back into my head
I will be lucky if I can't remember any regret of my past
I won't have to remember all the things I was ever afraid of
or if I ever jotted something down I wasn't ashamed of
or if I ever wrote a song that I was truly proud of
or if I took this gift of life and really only fucked up
