Wilt (Ft. Andrew Dean of Full Swing) 03:36
lyrics
buy track
It's so easy to get caught up in the deception fighting to control our everyday lives We are kept at odds Nothing to stifle our senseless hate of one another that we harbor within ourselves Failing like the flora Growing sick with decay We're sitting on our hands We're wilting away (We're wilting away) There is always a purpose, there is always a stance Leave the deception at the door Leave the hate to wilt with the weeds To serve an protect, just to despise and neglect Afraid to tolerate and educate, and see the beauty as it grows How can your branches swing so low you trip on your own ways? There is always a purpose, there is always a stance Leave the deception at the door Leave the hate to wilt with the weeds

Polarity 02:32
lyrics

My thoughts, so persistent with negativity Do I submit and learn to live life on my knees? The world keeps tying knots with what it sees in me But I refuse to stop living life in my head No judgement, no cost for what's worth being said And I refuse to follow what's best for me I'm not lost, just searching for the idea of free I make my strides Pulling myself from both ends (From both ends) Out of fear of time misused I separate Forcing myself to chose between heart and mind And all I have to lose To learn to grow or pretend I'm fine All I ever wanted was to feel alive in a society that's afraid to think Every step I'm out of sync Polarity Pulling at the ends I'm tattered, I'm torn, calloused, and I'm worn Pulling myself from both ends (From both ends) Out of fear of time misused I separate Forcing myself to chose between heart and mind

Evergreen 04:19

Tarnished and grey Overcast and haze Does life feel the same or has it lost it's taste? Do you dance alone or has the wind stopped singing your name? Has your stone been throw so long ago that the water is still and tame? What happened to the way that things used to be? No long swaying with the leaves Fighting the current of a restless mind, you lie awake reminding yourself of a time when we stood like evergreens. Sturdy and strong, proud and preen And as the winds pass through, your roots will anchor you Your foundation to the world A sense of belonging Just to feel something Tarnished and grey Overcast and haze Does life feel the same or has it lost it's taste? We stood like evergreens Sturdy and strond, proud and preen And as the winds pass through, your roots will anchor you We stood like evergreens Have you lost yourself? Have you lost your way? We stood like evergreens I know things fell off and glory fell short But as the winds were calm, it was our last resort Have you lost your way?
