Dead Horse 00:50
You hang around just like a fuckin' albatross the same dark cloud on a different fuckin' day I try to listen but you really start to piss me off it's all I can do not to turn and walk away. I don't believe a word you're saying your negative shit won't sell. You hate the world, hate god and everyone but not as much as you hate yourself. And being such an asshole never got you fucking anywhere. You ride it. You beat it You ride it. You beat it You ride it. You beat it Dead Horse.

I'll be damned if you and your kind were right about a single thing and I'd be damned if sold myself out and bowed to all of your liar's queens. Your ignorance and stupidity never fail to bring me down. So I'll be damned if you will steal, one more goddamned second of my time and I'll be damned if you will take this peace I have finally claimed as mine.

FUCK YOU, and that shady shit you tried to hide from me FUCK YOU--how stupid did you need me to feel? No, FUCK YOU you shallow, empty vapid sack of shit. If this is who you are, then I'm out--that's it. Your sense of self loathing is entirely justified. Your sense of self loathing is entirely justified. Trust me.

Impossible 00:49
I know just what you're thinking, you think that it's impossible asking kids to aim that high when they should make all goals lateral Can't live in fear of failure, no. When I was seventeen years old my life was circling the drain it was dreams like this that held me up it was dreams like this that made me whole ripped to a thousand pieces, I was whole Don't you dare stop fucking dreaming.
5.
I never thought I'd live to see the day when no one stands and plays the hero no will to fight or heart for sacrifice our cities burn while fiddle like nero and if you had your way you'd sleep your life away in soft, safe apathy why won't you wake up? and do you dare to dream of fucking anything or will you always wrap yourself in apathy and shame dull eyes and duller ideas too cool to care, to hip to think paralyzed by anxiety and fear (repeat chorus) and will you ever play the hero?

War Memorial 01:11
I saw you break another sweat and open your mouth like an ocean of regret. So here's my list, these are my demands: Face this world with open heart and open hands. Unclench those fists, let those grudges hit the floor This is my crucible, this is my purest form. Can't break me down. There's not much left of me. Can't break me down. There's nothing left to see besides this smile.

Never had friends like I did that summer back when I was twelve and we discovered the world was waiting out there for ourselves and never knew that innocence was wasted on the young and every sunset burned its way into my young, young heart. We let them pass away, can we get them back today? Because here I sit beside myself wondering if these dreams are worth the price I paid or if I should trade them in for something more comfortable? No I can't let them go, they got me this far, so-- I'll take today and every hope and dream and childish fantasy and forge a chain and bind myself unto this dreaming heart.
8.
I thought I'd know you for the rest of my life but the world told a different story. We were close, closer than brothers or blood I thought we were inseparable. But you were like the lunar phases slowly moving, but always changing I looked away for a fraction of a second when I turned back the friend I knew was gone. I turned my face away YOU FADED,I FADED I looked in a different direction and our friendship turned to vapor. Can't think about what was said that night or hold on for the rest of my life because you never know when the sun will go down on you.
9.
I guess I'll just leave a message since you won't pick up the phone I know you're going through some shit you might not wanna talk about but you don't have to go alone. And what would it take to make you happy? What would it take to make you smile? What would it take to see my old friend again? Won't you come home it's been a while. You're not alone in anyway.

These Words 01:59
This is not Desperation, we broke the cycle and the curse. Today might be oh so dark, but it could be so much worse. We're burned out and jaded but that's all on us write songs of friendship but forget how to trust But we still we still we still live by these words: "At least I'm still alive" It's easy and pointless to live inside of your own head to face each day as the walking dead and if bad luck is just stuck on you don't discard the things we share don't trade my company for fashionable despair But we still we still we still live by these words: "At least I'm still alive" I wish I had the courage to say that "I will never let you down" even if that's a lie.

about

Without a doubt, this is our best, and shortest album to date. Written over the course of the past couple of tours these songs represent a lot of the stuff we've had to shovel. From songs about not being so posi to rediscovering our innocence and sense of wonder, this album is the closest we can come to letting you really get to know us without coming over and hanging out. We're super proud of this and we hope you guys love it as much as we do. We recorded this with Evan Bradford and a ton of our friends in Asheville, NC.
