1.
The swing between thoughts and deeds Separated from what I want and what could never be. This pendulum will always have two sides. Swaying between right and wrong, help me overcome. Two fold force. x4 Bringing decisions in full course. Worthless I'm under the surface Faceless I am gone Unnoticed Hidden behind the Blind Eye Blind Eye.
2.
I will never wear a blind eye. To mask the problems before us. My weathered mind cannot hide. The fact that I've slowly broken . Off the rust of a mind that's been pushed too far, I didn't doubt you I should have let this rest I should have left it alone Some things are just better left unsaid A withered burden I carry, in the back of my mind Pushing and pulling at everything I am My actions are constant... A defining act worst than the words that attack and destroy Everything I am and everyone that ever mean't anything to me and everyone I ever truly loved
3.
This journey to find myself I find I'm never alone Constantly relying on others to find my way home This train has an end I'm forced to find I can't keep forcing these answers in the back of my mind Truthfully I tell you We should have gone back to the start But I haven't even begun to fathom how too What better way to start but to spread ourselves apart Alone is not seen as the end but a start of something new Maybe to find the end I have to keeping pushing through And start from the beginning to make it too My destination stuck in time You're finding yours as I'm finding mine I am just a ghost See right through me Hear me, feel me I am just a ghost A ghost of myself See me, hate me A ghost stuck in time Shatter me, end me
4.
The feeling of a sudden halt Life set to a stand still Put your life on hold And nothing changes The same places the same faces Strokes of the brush, never save me Decisions leave me gasping for air I share the truth of what I've done And what I've become And what can't be undone I realize that I can't be anything else Be anyone else Stuck in an endless loop keep letting me in on the light that never fades I need to break this hold I need out of this potrait We're in a crisis We are a crisis We are the crisis Crisis
5.
You'll never know what it does to me. This feeling, of regret And un certainty. How does it feel. To know you caused this confusion. I'm picking apart sections of my mind, to find where it all went wrong. Throwing away memories of happiness. Searching through memories to find the mistakes that made me, that made me break, that made me break, that made me break, that made me break... I made you break? Did you ever think about me. The feelings I have. How one word can tear apart my mind. You're picking apart yours? I'm ripping apart mine. I remember no happiness, just fear and loathing. Those were not mistakes, you needed to break, so I can fix my self. Those were the mistakes, I needed to break, so I could fix myself Those were the mistakes, we needed to break, so I could fix myself
6.
I once knew a man, who was two A Splitting image pushing through The boundaries of reality , he can't contain His mark on this family, nothing but a stain Influenced actions, he can't explain His actions prove his constant pain Seeking guidance in all the wrong places See him fall with all his disgraces To leave this place with bleak excuses Of times when mistakes were reproduced To be a person worth remembering While success was seen as worth taking Help this man see That his hopes and dreams will be Making the same mistakes as me Splitting image looking back in the mirror The end always drawing nearer Always no fear I know fear

about

This album is the concept of a deconstruction of a family, through the perspectives of the children, mother, father and anyone seeing the destruction of a family from the outside. These songs were written about what has happened, what could happen and what will happen in each of our lives. Recording this album has been everything we have ever wanted to capture in music. Thank you to anyone that gives it a listen
