about

This track was also written by the ex-vocalist and and has a similar theme to "South of the End". The vocalist is talking to someone who is too concerned with others' feelings. While that is a good way to be, one must put them self first. They shouldn't be sheltered by people and other things. They should be able to go out and live their dreams.

lyrics

If at all you're happy, and you're happy without me
then don't hold back that smile (don't hold back now)
Go live up to your dreams (everything that you thought I should be)
Find what you wanted in me (everything that you wanted in me)
I know this is hard but I'm asking you to let me go (Just let me...GO)

This is not the end
Just know you can start all over again x2
It's time to begin

If at all you're happy, and you're happy without me
then dont' hold back that smile (don't hold back now)
Go live up to your dreams (everything that you thought I should be)
Find what you wanted in me (everything that you wanted in me)
I know this is hard but I'm asking you to let me go

Know your worth
When they try to hold you down then we will find out what you're made of
Get back upP x2

This is not the end
In this reality you either take your chances or you die with nothing, DIE WITH NOTHING
Take what you want, take what you can in life, 'cause you could stand for something
Right now

And you'll never find
What you're really looking for
People try to find their way
But the lost remain

The lost remain lost

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.
