Deconstruction (free) 01:56
lyrics
download
This is a feeble exercise In taking apart my flaws In an attempt to better myself My modesty treads dangerously close towards self deprecation And I'm torn between independence and the fear of dying alone Blinding myself to the faults of those I attach myself to I'm fluent in praise, but mute in criticism I've grown accustomed to expecting the worst While hoping that this time I'll be wrong My past provides the blueprints I use to predict my future I'm quick to attach, yet spend eternities letting go While hiding behind cliche nautical metaphors The past cannot be fixed, but if I can't fix myself, I'm doomed to a future of repeating history

Faded Nostalgia (free) 02:33
lyrics
download
I've spent too long reminiscing what we never were While avoiding the question I was too afraid to ask myself I admit I hate myself for being so blind to what was clear as day How could I not see that I was living in the shadows of someone I could never replace? I'm still waiting for that silver lining that will somehow make this all worthwhile I've since reached the conclusion that we're better off as strangers If I was aware of what I've learned, I wouldn't have let things get as far as they did I'm still debating if your deceit is worse than the fact I believed every word you said to me Consider this my last goodbye, I hope I never have to hear from you again

Cover Feature (free) 02:03
lyrics

This scene should be a safe place So why do we make excuses for those who choose to exploit their platform At the expense of someone who didn't know better? So quick to defend based on artistic output As if it counteracts the damage that's been done Unfairly blame the victim for speaking out And then you wonder why so few come forward "Separate the Art from the Artist" translates as I'm happy for this to continue for the sake of personal enjoyment This has to end Ignorance is not bliss for victims of abuse Abusers don't belong on the front of magazines Or in venues full of impressionable fans Unless we make it clear that this isn't right Then we're sending out the message that abuse is welcome here Abuse is not welcome here

Blind In One Eye (free) 02:48
lyrics
download
Spoonfed opinions disguised as facts The truth obscured by lies and propaganda Do you consider yourself well informed Even though you're blind in one eye? People forced to die while you live comfortably Where the fuck is your empathy? Turning a blind eye unless it affects you Where the fuck is your empathy? How can you live with so much blood on your hands? How much suffering will it take for you to care? Lambs lead to the slaughter while you bury your heads in the sand But who will they profit off when we're all dead? Who will they profit off when we're all dead?

You're A Crook, Captain Hook (free) 02:28
lyrics
download
Years of deprecation have left me struggling to see my worth I have bruises from fistfights with myself over things that cannot be fixed I'm sick of second guessing and wondering if I'm good enough Will I ever find the strength to love myself? I struggle to understand why I just can't stay content In spite of everything that's keeping me here But what if it's not enough to keep me from making a one way trip? What happens when the shoreline I'm tethered to erodes away? I cannot help but keep this to myself Out of fear of becoming a burden I've grown to find comfort in melancholy I guess some demons never die I guess some demons never die
