about

This track, written by Jalen, speaks about his relationship with his last girlfriend. The premise is that the connection seemed to be false the whole time, and after she up and left out of no where, this was when Jalen realized these all of these things. These are the things that made him who he is today, however. These were the lies that the built his life.

lyrics

One too many times have I stood in your corner
One too many times have I stood my ground on this
Too many times have I defended you, even undeserving
Would it surprise you to find your apologie's long overdue?
You can't tell me that I have changed when all that's different here is that I can see
We've come this far and I'd like to think it wasn't all for nothing

And even if my eyes had seen, I would not have believed
I wanted this so bad and even now I long for all that we had
Is it any better to be blind to the lies placed in front of you? (than it is)
Than it is to choose to be deaf when your real friends try tell you the truth

What's the best way to wake yourself up
If you never fell asleep

You can't be the shelter this life needs if you're protecting another
I've been left to the storms I've been left to find a new home

What's the best way to wake yourself up
If you never fell asleep?
You can't run from your nightmares when you're already chasing your dreams
You've been here before, but this is all new to me
So please excuse me for wishing that we could've ended this differently

The last half year of your behavior has left me with nothing but to find
I can't close my eyes to anyone
I won't, I won't close my eyes

*PIG SQUEALLLLLLLLLLL*

Don't close your eyes
Dont' close your eyes

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.
