Heavy Hearts 03:05
Heavy thoughts tend to parade our minds With heavy hearts we don't feel loved Around our own kind Its such a petty little concept Yet we can't be happy, regardless We could have everything We've ever wanted But still feel like we drew the short end It's not fair to those that give you love from their hearts (it's not fair) It's that kind of thinking That makes lives keep shrinking People are there and then they're not I'm afraid of blinking Yet all I hear entering ears Is a mantra chanted from many of my peers They speak the tongue of a lost soul A breathing vessel with no where go to No love no heart no hope Repeating thoughts never spoke No love no heart no hope Repeating thought never spoke "Am I good enough? Should I just give up? What's the point of breathing; I'm just a pair of useless lungs" x 2 (I'm just a pair of useless lungs) It's that kind of thinking That makes lives Keep shrinking People are there And then they're not I'm afraid of blinking Who knows what or who I'll be missing next Despite what you think You're not alone in this Heavy thoughts tend to parade our minds With heavy hearts we don't feel loved around kind. It's such a petty little concept Yet we can't be happy regardless We could have everything We've ever wanted But still feel like we drew the short end It's not fair to those that give us love from their hearts. It's that kind of thinking That makes lives Keep shrinking People are there And then they're not I'm afraid of blinking Who knows what or who I'll be missing next Despite what you think You're not alone in this We were all born for a purpose For this I am certain Nobody in this world is worthless show me what your worth is Show me that you're worth it. Don't act upon dangerous thoughts Or find yourself in hole being caught Six feet deep and ready to sleep So get this in your head Its okay to talk instead

Fragments 04:21
*Lyrcis* (What do you do When your body falls through Your senses go numb And your face turns blue) What do you do When your body falls through Your senses go numb And your face turns blue Air is escaping Your lungs are overfilling The depths are dragging You down to eternal slumber Fight for your life The currents pullings It's all consuming The struggle against a ticking clock looming Deaths cards are dealing What is this meaning To be stronger in will Will keep you living Disconnect yourself From the realm of conscience Liberate yourself Into the lucid In this dream state we lie awake Consumed by the world we create In this dream state we lie awake Consumed by the world we create We are consumed Consumed by the world we create We are the fragments Of the Tesseract Untangle from the web's of time Unravel every lineal line Cut the strings and defy Cut the strings and defy It's forth dimensional A traceable lineal We are the fragments Disconnect yourself From the realm of conscience Liberate yourself Into the lucid In this dream state we lie awake Consumed by the world we create In this dream state we lie awake Consumed by the world we create Forget the laws of time Forget the laws of life Forget all you know Relinquish all control Forget the laws of time Forget the laws of life Forget all you know Relinquish all control (Disconnect yourself From the realm of conscience) We are the fragments Disconnect yourself From the realm of conscience Liberate yourself Into the lucid In this dream state we lie awake Consumed by the world we create In this dream state we lie awake Consumed by the world we create Disconnect yourself From the realm of conscience

Atlas 04:23
I feel the weight of the world Crashing around me My hands are bounded I can't do anything Feeling useless Feeling helpless This is how I am daily Feeling useless Feeling helpless Please won't you save me But whether it's collapsed or rebuilding Life goes on its ever growing The past is the past And the future is never knowing But why must we conform To the idea of a single way We have the notion to set in motion Any path we choose So we are to blame And I say this in vain If we do nothing then nothing will change We are to blame And I say this in vain For life to exist we must abandon our ways I feel the weight of the world Crashing around me My hands are bounded I can't do anything But whether it's collapsed or rebuilding Life goes on its ever growing The past is the past And the future is never knowing So tell Me, Why do we have Those thoughts we have You know those thoughts Of course you've had The ones that get inside The ones that question why So tell me Tell me Tell me (Can you tell me why) I feel the weight of the world Crashing around me My hands are bounded I can't do anything Feeling useless Feeling helpless This is how I am on the daily But I want to change I don't want to stay this way Because now I see I am more than I think of me I'm not useless I'm not helpless I am more than I think of me I'm not useless I'm not useless I'm not useless And I've never been I'm not useless I'm not useless I am more than I think of me I'm not useless I'm not useless I'm not useless And I've never been I am more than I think of me

It's Like a burning rose We wilter as time goes See our remnants in the wind they blow Ready to start a new Ready to start a new See our remnants In the wind they blow From the ashes of what we once were We are reborn, We are reborn In this new form we are alive We will rise, We will rise There are cogs in this machine Still turning and giving everything The flow we produce is constant And you, you can't stop this The flow we produce is constant And you can't You can't repress progress (What do we have to lose What do we have to prove) There are cogs in this machine Still turning and giving everything Some will doubt; the fire is out But just know the ember still glows The ember still glows x3 Its Like a burning rose We wilter as time goes See our remnants in the wind they blow Ready to start a new Ready to start a new From the ashes of what we once were We are reborn, We are reborn In this new form we are alive We will rise, We will rise The flow we produce is constant And you, you can't stop this The flow we produce is constant And you, you can't stop this Like a butterfly Inside a cacoon Reshaping Reforming Expanding its room We're changing We're Growing Into what we need to be And I know the flow we produce is constant, you can't stop this The flow we produce is constant And you, you can't stop this The flow we produce is constant And you can't You can't repress progress (What do we have to lose What do we have to prove) Some will doubt; the fire is out But just know the ember still glows Let it breathe and it will grow Let it breathe and it will grow Some have come and some will go But we're bounded by what we know The flow we produce is constant And you, you can't stop this Like a burning rose We wilter as time goes See our remnants in the wind they blow Ready to start a new Ready to start a new From the ashes of what we once were We are reborn, We are reborn In this new form we are alive We will rise, We will rise x2 (From the ashes of what we once were We are reborn, We are reborn In this new form we are alive We will rise, We will rise) x2

about

What this EP symbolizes for us is time and essentially rebirth, rising up from what we once were to reveal something even greater. This is more than just a chance to show everyone what we've been working on, this is our chance to start anew. Exploring a vast array of topics and themes throughout; no matter who you are we hope there is a track within this record that connects with you.
