Value 02:35
Ignite your passion Let it burn you to the bone If I don't value myself then who will But I won't waste my life upon a pedestal Open my eyes to the world around me And see all of the things that set me free A beating heart pumping in my chest It keeps pushing and pushing, no time for rest And if the beating stops before I ever reach my dreams I want to know I was the best man that I could have been
2.
Solitude 03:58
And it all comes rushing back The feelings I tried to forget The ones I buried in my head They scratch their way back towards the surface What did I do to deserve this This time I'll try To find the remedy Before this consumes me If I can't find the control It'll leave me alone Yeah I already know The fire's in me And I know I've been acting cold But still this fire inside me grows And everyone I love and everyone I know Will surely get burned And when the day finally comes When I've left myself with no one At least I'll know this solitude Is something that I've earned And if you take a step towards me You'll start to feel the heat Not born of love not fit to fucking breathe A heat that burns you eternally And it still comes rushing back I clench my fists I grit my teeth And feel it start to eat away at me The kind of hatred you can see The kind that haunts you while you sleep If I Can't find The love I buried inside I'll just shut my eyes And let this fire die And be left with ashes And I know I've been acting cold But still this fire inside me grows And everyone I love and everyone I know Will surely get burned And when the day finally comes When I've left myself with no one At least I'll know this solitude Is something that I've earned Pry open these clenched fists Fill them with calm and forgiveness I'm losing the will to fight this I'm burning out while this still persists I don't want to be angry anymore

Standstill 03:36
Looking forward at the path ahead of me All I can see Is a crooked trail Carved out of my frailty I stand at the crossroads where my Self doubt and insecurity meet And I'm left to chose Which one I'll let ruin me Breathe life into my dreams Cause these days just feel like every Hope I had is decaying I'm running out of purpose And the will to find a new one Revive my aspirations Before I sink too far to save I'm sinking too far to save Living life in standstill Is a state I wish I'd never grown to see I used to fight the current Now I'm just drifting out to sea I don't know where it all went wrong I don't know where I lost myself Emptiness I'll see you in my sleep Sometimes I feel like I'm not meant to fullfill anything more Than an early grave Waiting for me Patiently Wait for me, wait for me My early fucking grave Wait for me, wait for me I'll see you in my sleep So I'll lie in wait To be dragged out of this hole And when I finally surface At least then I'll know There is a path that I can take That doesn't lead me to my grave But one that leads me to a Beautiful eternity My light has been fading But I won't lose it all I'll build a new life From the ashes of this hell I'll shut my eyes And breathe life into my dreams Aspiration I'll see you in my sleep

Today I hit a wall I ran my fingers along the brick Glued together with your name And it made me fucking sick This house is not a home As long as its burdened with your scent It's just a place that I reside As I try to make some sense Of where I have been headed Of what you really meant I tried to break through these barriers But I couldn't make a dent And now I stand here surrounded By steel and stone Break through This place feels cold and empty And I refuse to ever call it home How did we ever let it get this far Without ever walking away How did we ever let it get this far With you standing in my way I think I caught your sickness I think I'm getting old My eyes are growing tired And my hearts been growing cold I feel you in my bloodsteam Soaking me to the bone If you want to spend your life holding back You can do it in your own This disease Engulfs me It brings me To my knees This disease Shares your name But you don't haunt me Anymore How did we ever let it get this far Without ever walking away How did we ever let it get this far With you standing in my way

Namesake 02:21
Shut your eyes And find solace in A lack of conciousness Forget your pain Forget your days Forget the cancer that's been Seeping through your veins Hold my heart I'll hold your name Though I'll never wear it the same Cause I am weak while you are brave Brave from birth until the grave In a hospital bed I saw your empty shell And there's nothing I could do But sit and wish you well I don't know if you're still in there Or if there's nothing left But I'll still stay awake at night Until you find rest I know your light is fading But I just don't have the heart To watch the sunset with you To watch you lose your spark I know that you've been suffering Even if you're not aware And I just want you to find comfort Even when I can't be there Promise me that even as your fire burns out I'll always feel your warmth And I promise to think of you on every hard night And every roaring storm I'll always hold a piece of you Where my name and my blood meet And if I can't see you every fucking day Then I'll see you in my sleep I wish that I was stronger I wish that I could be like you I wish that you'd stay longer And watch your legacy bloom And maybe I'm just selfish To want to keep you from the earth But I know I need to let you go Even if it hurts Goodbye Sleep well you gentle soul And know that I'll look up to you Even when I'm grey and old Just know that every word I ever sing Is sung with you in mind And that your memory won't fade away No matter the passage of time

Everyone wants something Something to believe in Everyone wants something to blame Everyone wants something Well I have nothing But at least I know I am the only one to blame Injecting ignorance into the minds of youth Outdated stories that we disguise as truth Cover up the entrance to any other path you could choose There is no freedom here you're bound by hate-driven rules If there is a god Well why did he turn his back and leave If there is a god Well I know that he wouldn't believe in me So what are you left with At the end of the day A divine absence and some faith And someone to blame Investing your life Into what lies above A lifetime of judgement Well that's no kind of love Stare into the sun And tell me you're not blind Choke on your force-fed uncertainty And tell me you don't mind I don't mind So what are you left with At the end of the day A divine absence and some faith And someone to blame Investing your life Into what lies above A lifetime of judgement Well that's no kind of love Well I can count everything a god has ever done for me on clenched fists Look me in the eyes I'll swear to you I never asked for this If I have to bury myself six feet under the dirt to reach the sky Well surely you can understand when I question why Why I have to criticize a love that claims to be true Yet doesn't accept those who see differently than you And if immortality's a gift waiting for me when I die Well you're too late Throw my ashes to the wind don't let them lie in wait Waiting for salvation that will never come Waiting for a promise that has come undone If there's anyone looking down on me from above Stop spending your time judging me and calling it love Don't call me a follower Take my hand and lead me to false hope and drag me lower Then explain to me why I should waste my life waiting for it to be over While you continue to judge me for the misdeeds of another from an older time I am my own saviour Save your lies For as long as I'm still breathing This life will be mine This life is mine This life is mine I am not blind This life is mine I don't need to search the clouds to find hope I don't need to search the stars to find my place I found everything I need I found everything I want I found that hope I found my home I don't need to put my faith in anyone Cause I have faith that I will one day be at peace I found everything I need, I found everything I want I found that hope I found my home I found my home
