about

This track, also written by Jalen, tells the story of the almost relationship following the one depicted in "The Lies You Left With Built This Life." It's a story he hopes the person it's about never hears his side of because sometimes its harder to see our own lives through another persons eyes. Everything that once seemed shrouded in a mist suddenly becomes so clear when we're finally able to think straight again, and luckily they finally came to their senses. "Just so you know it's not to late"

Guitars written and recorded by Jalen, Dan, and Dakota

lyrics

Who am I to judge the mistakes you've made? It's not my place
But we've reached a point where someone needs to say
What were you thinking? Take a look at yourself from outsider eyes
What were you thinking? Leaving all this behind trying to kick-start your life

I may not be, I may not be the right one to say
Everything Ithought you didn't need to hear
Just so you know it's not too late
Keep applying all that makeup to your personality
And try to remember you never needed it when you were here with me

I didn't let my heart break, no, I don't think it's broken yet
I let my heart leave and it's not a mistake I'm making again

I may not be, I may not be the right one to say
Everything I thought you didn't need to hear
Just so you know it's not too late
Keep applying all that makeup to your personality
And try to remember you never needed it when you were here with me

Let's go!
How was I supposed to know keeping you here was as simple as the fake promises and disappearing when you really needed me the most?
How was I supposed to know everything we stood for walked out the window when you flew through that door?

I know I'm not the right one to say everything you shouldn't need to hear but it's not too late
It's not too late
You know you've become my own life raft of levity, and I have told myself never to sail in an ocean of affliction but look where you left me
It's not too late x4

Live to Conquer Cedar Rapids, Iowa

We're a Metalcore band out of Cedar Rapids, IA. Formed in the Fall of 2012, we underwent some changes that brought us to the current lineup. I would like to say however, we wouldn't be where we are today if it weren't for the previous members.
