RINGING (demo)
03:14

The ringing in my ear is fading, and the feeling in my feet degrading. How can I choose to leave this place? Because I'll forget who I am, forget the pain that got me here. I can’t do that again, cause it all fades over the years. The scarring on my arm is healing, but there’s something in my heart that’s searing. Everything I have has become everything I hate. I need you here, but not to speak. Did you feel it when the sweat dripped from the ceiling, the shirt stuck to my back? I will not forget that feeling; it’s what it takes to bring me back. All these years, all these shows; have stuck with me, become what I know. Despite the tears and the fatal blows, I’ve learned that they haunt me like a ghost; these distant melodies and melodic memories. There’s a feeling in my gut like falling, and thousand young lungs are calling "We have become one, and we will die under the Sun.” This is who I am, although there’s pain throughout the years. I would do it all again; It’s all the shit that got me here. All the clouding of my mind is clearing. All the rage behind these eyes is searing. Everything out there has become everything I hate. I need you here, but not to speak. I know you feel it when the noise we made was piercing, the shirts stuck to our backs. How could I forget that feeling? It’s not the heart that’s what I lack. All these beers, all these shows; they stuck with me, nobody could know. My greatest fears, and biggest foes; they stay outside when I’m at the show. Melodies, Memories.

Falling Down (Demo)

Why are we living life this way, with all this shit we can’t afford?
It doesn’t belong to us anyway
Incinerate all the shit we hate
That body was an accident
Byproduct of a larger plan
The damage was collateral
Let’s self destruct and get far away from here
When I think about life, I'm not sure if we’ve lived a day at all
But now that I’m free of my tv screen,the feeling returned to my limbs
It's amazing how comfortable we are in our own skin, this day in age
So please hold my hand here as we help bring in the fall

No Burden (Demo)

Life
there's a funny thing about it
no easy way around it
we're forced to interact
with these people who see no
problem with the way they act
I need to rise above it
I cant put up with bullshit
and i need to look at myself
with as much criticism as everyone else
you'll be no burden on me
ignorance wont be received
and on the day I die
I know right now
I wont regret a single thing
and if you think I'll waste my time on
anything you might say, you are dead wrong
I will live stress free
I made up my mind
you'll be no burden on me

Shadows (Demo)
01:41
|
|

we would fly through the night
with blood stains on our hands
and not a goddamned fucking cop
could ever find us on these lands
in the darkness we would thrive
we'd be grinning ear to ear
knowing unholiest of demons
had nothing on our career
and in the shadows
was where we lived
and we would kill
and we were kids
and with these weapons in our hands
its in the shadows where we hid
and we'd raise hell
thats where we lived
darker than the darkest fucking corner of the night
our souls were made of blood and ash, and we're out of our fucking minds
we would thrive on pain and booze
but somewhere far along the way
the mix of booze and memories
cant keep all these demons at bay
and in the shadows
thats where we lived
and we would chase the fucking ghosts
and we were fearless fucking kids
and with these skateboards in our hands
we'd walk the shadows where we hid
living in hell
and fucking pissed

Certain Death (Demo)
02:15
|
|

All thoughts of suicide subsided as the bullet hit my brain
And for a fraction of a second, beams of sunlight caught my eye and killed my pain
Just as suddenly I threw away that gun, as if someone else were guiding me to undo what I’d done
they took my demons and threw them into the sun, second chances don’t come often
to this earth I now belong
With this new sense of purpose I walked out the door and realized I could fly
so I flew up to the heavens feeling like I was the only man alive
A sense of sadness and relief washed over me, as I came to understand just what it meant to be free
I was alone, but felt no sense of urgency, so this is what its fucking like just to no longer be

This is my wake
These are my mistakes
A preface to the magnitude of everlasting fate
Please don't think that i have lost my lust for life
This story's mine to tell, and I will write it down (tonight)
This endless stream of consciousness
It all began when I was young, from that moment on
I was determined not to fall asleep again
I'll open my eyes with every new day
And I wont stop until I find my way
Out on the open seas, this vessel makes waves
The ocean swells more beautifully (today)
Under this mighty ship i built
I'm refusing to turn back, the plan of attack
Is let my pride take me as far as I can go
We'll weather the storm
And when my ship crash lands
It will take all I have to incinerate, in fear i may fade
I will burn out brighter than the sun
And at my wake, I need you to know
Each step I take, I calculate
But I follow no map today
With no courage to demonstrate
Beginning to end
From Wake to Wake
I know these eyes will never break
And when the end is all I have
I will hold it to my chest
No sign of regret
I'll whisper one last time the phrase that got me to this place
This Is My Wake
