Manifest 03:25
Spending time for a hopeless future Not a care for subtlety The only way to bring us closer Is to let our minds separate The air is full of meaning But it costs a life just breath We’re cast away without an s.o.s. We are cast away Just keep sleeping Live like you never lived before On your own It’s been so many years since what I made for you has become So much more Why am I here This was no invitation I can’t get used to this I won’t get used to this Don’t believe everything you hear Run Listen to me when I say Run I thought we were the future Just give me some time to myself Just give me a life to myself Just keep sleeping Live like you never lived before On your own It’s been so many years since what I made for you has become So much more This flood is not a flood till all the boats have sunk I’ve got a message for you So read it long Read it loud I am real And I am here for you

Pressure to outlast the others Find any way to outlast the best Expect the praise of those around you Who’s who to care when there’s no one left Nothing becomes the only motive Climbing and climbing into your lonesome at the top Fearless to spend your whole left just to Defeat, repeat, defeat, repeat; an infinite cycle Wasting all of your life just to tell the whole world your morals Failing communication, forget it all Patiently waiting for another crack, another crack in the ice Our eyes open wide to close in on reality Patiently waiting for another crack, another crack in the ice Our eyes open wide to close in on the enemy Overcome: Tearing down the wall Overdose: Tear it down Overrun: Tearing down the wall Overthrow: Tear it down Overcome: Marching through the wall Overdose: Marching Overrun: Marching through the wall Overthrow: Marching on Pressure to make the right sacrifice These hands were not meant to be bloodstained Every life is a pawn on the chessboard Mankind is my career Get to the top, Get to the top scrambling Get to the top, Get to the top to breathe (I am alone) Kill what we have made for ourselves, what we have done for this world Crisis: Freedom is what freedom does And if a home is a just a place to untangle our minds, Then this Earth is just a place to give up the fight My power is nothing but a flicker in the flame that I have created To take control; to gain stability; to find a conclusion All of these I have longed for knowing that they will never be achieved To measure my success is to measure a continuous line I will find an end to this. I will be the end to this. My life is the only breathing thing that’s left But no one is here to watch me live it My life is the only breathing thing that’s left But no one is here to watch me live it My life is the only thing that’s breathing The world will call out my name and rejoice, rejoice with a deafening silence The world will call out my name and rejoice

Jean-Paul 03:41
I am alone in this world I can feel it folding on me Traced back to the hole in my head when I was alive Everything I dreamed of shattered on the walls What is the point of this life Without a meaning Piece me back together From the inside out I’ve grown so close to distance I am the motivator I decide what’s real or not Blankness fills the room and it’s bleeding Into my judgment I look for a hand to reach for And drown myself in empty space Searching for another one like me Won’t be alone, won’t be lonely Why can’t I be God? A life to myself; a home to myself Why can’t I be God? A life to myself; a home to my own self I am nothing but a man My body becomes the room as Reality splits my brain in two Tell myself this is just a dream but my Life is nothing different I look for a hand to reach for And drown myself in empty space Searching for another one like me Won’t be alone, won’t be lonely I walk alone with no hand by my side I need to rid this drone, calm myself and be still This place is an empty place to be I need a solid state, I need a remedy He is a motive That’s cleansing my mind; creating life in a hollow room A motivation For everything; Creating faith in a desperate being He is an ocean that will return my soul to sea Showing me more of myself than I will ever be A motivation to live like my life’s just begun To end this solitude and answer the question Why can’t I be God? And conquer everything Why can’t I be God? And always be alone

Faces 03:33
We’ve built a structure out of our aspirations Herded like sheep to be the only one of its kind Take off the blindfold but cover my ears This isn’t us this isn’t us. We’ve just become a piece of Art by machines A living breathing Art by machines Just another engine Art by machines A living breathing Art by machines Just another I tell myself to keep my feet on the ground, feet on the ground but We’re running in circles this will never end Ideas held below the surface. Our eyes Will have to shut them out Lifeless repeats of the hollow, drowned in smoke We won’t be buried by an imitation Breeding, reshaping, to find what we’re really made for This is all we have to give Come from the heart Leave from the lungs These gears won’t turn anymore Living inside myself to hide from my head These gears won’t turn anymore Rebuild me, Restore me And I open my eyes and see nothing but fakes Giving birth to cures that will end this plague To breathe life back into our faded world Breaking, cleansing, to finally create This is our world now Come from the heart Leave from the lungs These gears won’t turn anymore Living inside myself to hide from my head These gears won’t turn anymore Rebuild me, Restore me

about

Thanks to Trevor Barnard for all the recording and mixing and producing, because without him this EP would sound like absolute garbage. We wrote this as we were transitioning from our old band, Siren To The Skies. We'd really appreciate if you checked out our Facebook, Twitter and all that jazz, or just leave a comment to say hey!
