Prologue 01:13
my self detest and arrogance are waging bloody war and I crumpled in the trenches crumbled in the trenches i am nothing but a structure a hollow, empty vessel i am nothing but a shadow and my skin is thin and fragile tightly wrapped over my veins you won’t remember my name when I’m done here will you? I’m scared to face the jagged gaze that always keeps me running I’m scared to face the monster in the mirror I’m becoming and the acceptance of abandonment has seeped through this fragile skin and it twisted up my spine and broke my bones and killed my thoughts and it poisoned my reality and left my heart to rot I watched my bridge collapse and I built false pride in the debris I’m screaming I’m too good for you and I’m still not good enough for me

Bridges 03:10
I’ve spent my life forging splintered bridges Just to watch them crumble underneath the weight Of all my dreams of maintaining significance Stand back and watch me fade away I’ve fought For too long To let these hopes and dreams rot I’m reckless Abandoned In the dreams you left stranded I’ll stand my ground Don’t need your company I I’ll burn these bridges down I’m All the support that I need We built an empire We lived the glory days Time has come and gone And I’m still here in the same place I built an empire Just to watch my friends spit on it’s grave I’ll resurrect the price I paid I’ve fought For too long To let these hopes and dreams rot I’m reckless Abandoned In the dreams you left stranded I’ll stand my ground Don’t need your company I I’ll burn these bridges down I’m All the support that I need And when the worst is over You know I’ll make it known You left me on my own You know I’ll make it known And when I reach the places You never cared to go You know I’ll make it known I made it on my own I’ve fought For too long To let these hopes and dreams rot I’m reckless Abandoned In the dreams you left stranded I’ll stand my ground Don’t need your company I I’ll burn these bridges down I’m All the support that I need

My Only Hope 04:06
I’m so afraid of failure It’s why I can’t let go I’m so used to abandonment It’s why I love control Live in fear of betrayal Don’t ask me to get close I’m not the best that I could be But I need you to know Whoa, this future is my only hope Whoa, yeah, I’ve got no where else to go I’m running Keep running I’ve broken down my choices, Analyzed my decisions Evaluated everything I’ve done to get me through this And still I’m chasing after Every single somber note I’ll salvage what is left of me I’m chasing after what I know Whoa, this future is my only hope Whoa, yeah I’ve got no where else to go I’m running Keep running I’ve laid my life down I’ve given everything You have your judgements but you Don’t know what this means to me Whoa, this future is my only hope Whoa, yeah I’ve got no where else to go I’m running Keep running This future is my only hope This future is my only hope

I still can’t quite accept All of the consequence I’m earning from the actions that I’m learning to pursue And without confidence I assert dominance In every conversation just to try and forget you And I don’t wanna pretend anymore But I don’t want to face what I choose to ignore And I don’t wanna pretend anymore But you're giving me no other choice So turn the lights on And pull me out of my head So that I’m face to face with everything I wish I never did Turn the lights on And nothing matters to me ‘Cause it’s not what I wanted to see Not what I want to see It’s not what I wanted to see Not what I want to see I still can’t quite accept My own irrelevance I’ve spent my life fighting Just to mean something to you And in my self detest My insignificance Is screaming that I’m worthless And there’s nothing I can do And I don’t wanna pretend anymore But I don’t wanna waste my mind waging this war I don’t wanna pretend anymore Won’t you give me another choice? So turn the lights on And pull me out of my head So that I’m face to face with everything I wish I never did Turn the lights on And nothing matters to me ‘Cause it’s not what I wanted to see Not what I want to see It's not what I wanted to see Not what I want to see I don’t feel calm in my own skin Don’t know how I let this happen Sinking deeper into this pit I don’t know why I welcome it I’ve been down here for so long I’m accustomed to both right and wrong I don’t care to learn the difference I don’t know why I welcome this Turn the lights on And pull me out of my head So that I’m face to face with everything I wish I never did Turn the lights on And nothing matters to me ‘Cause it’s not what I wanted to see Not what I want to see It’s not what I wanted to see Not what I want to see It’s not what I wanted to see

Overthinking 03:28
I’m caught up in all these wild suspicions I never use to let myself think freely. After years of feeling nothing, Why is it suddenly so easy? I'm scared of my own childish longing And I'm scared I'm coming on too strong. I'm too nervous to look at you 'cause I know I'll stare too long. You've got me anxious in a way I never thought I'd like. I'm overthinking everything That comes into my mind. I want to let go, I want to hold on. I've never been so Okay with being wrong. Don't want to jump to any cheap conclusions, Can I not confirm the way I feel After I've spent my life insisting Not a single bit of this is real? I'm burdened with the thought of being Without burden Trapped in the mindset That I might be freed. This is the last thing I ever wanted But it's the first thing I know I need. You've got me anxious in a way I never thought I'd like. I'm overthinking everything That comes into my mind. I want to let go, I want to hold on. I've never been so Okay with being wrong. Oh, suddenly I can't breathe In this wave you're creating. I've never been so glad to Feel myself suffocating. Oh, suddenly I can't breathe In this wave you're creating. I've never been so glad to Feel myself suffocating. You've got me anxious in a way I never thought I'd like. I'm overthinking everything That comes into my mind. I want to let go, I want to hold on. I've never been so Okay with being wrong. I'm okay with being wrong. I'm okay with being wrong.

B U R N. 03:17
as I walk through the valley of my so called sin i’m greeted by my paranoia and lack of common sense everything is falling on me it’s caving in the world is ending Let the games begin. i was hiding in the SHADOWS from your daggers and spears you sent them like an army they won’t find me here i’ll step out of my head let the dark seep in the world is ending let the games begin i’ll overthink all of my choices 'till the very end i’m always crippled by my name and lack of self respect yeah we’ll set this world ablaze and we’ll watch it B U R N. i’ve spent my time scorching... baby, it’s your turn.

challenges and pays homage to the musical roots of its creators.
