Twenty-some years bouncing off the walls
never slowed down almost expected to fall
young lust // dumb love
burning out so bright
long nights // dead hearts
running out of time
We move too fast to feel the needle (or the damage done)
it’s the silence that feels so familiar
the sting of the salt in the wound
a step too close to the ledge
the calm before it all comes crashing in
none of this means anything
it's all fun ‘till its not
things look worse in the daylight.
broke a promise // saved a sinner
what’s the point
sunk a vessel // sold a story
to a starless sky with no hope in sight
it’s the silence that feels so familiar
the sting of the salt in the wound
a step too close to the ledge
the calm before it all comes crashing in
fake a smile through crumbling teeth
never letting on just what’s underneath
it's a pain you’ll never get
a broken bone that wouldn’t set
we stand too close to the fault line
ignore the sound when the ground breaks
watched it swallow you whole
into the unknown now the guilt is what remains
it’s the silence that feels so familiar
the sting of the salt in the wound
a step too close to the ledge
the calm before it all comes crashing in

i could swear this time is different and
pretend like nothing happened but
i know how bad it feels when i’m alone
it’s a contradiction of the things i’ll say vs. what i’ll do
that leaves me tangled in a mess
of what i’ve lost and i’ve got left
i just wanna finish what i started
let myself feel fine long enough not to give up on the line…
i’ve been going nowhere
treading water just to keep myself alive
i’ve reconciled the pain
reassigned the blame ‘till its all the same
it gets harder to make sense of things
when the brightest light starts going dim
the world just feels so cold
you can’t find your way back home
i’ve misplaced, broke, or sold everything i’ve ever owned
i just wanna finish what i started
let myself feel fine long enough not to give up on the line…
i’ve been going nowhere
treading water just to keep myself alive
i’ve reconciled the pain
reassigned the blame ‘till its all the same
a faded light remains aglow
in the darkest times to lead you home
i’ve been going nowhere
treading water just to keep myself alive
i’ve reconciled the pain
reassigned the blame ‘till its all the same

cracks and calluses can’t be faked
learn the lines and where they break
now the pressure tells the story
in the tension and the shake
to what am i holding now
what’s left to fall back on
when i need it i’ll wish that i wrote it down
to remind me where things went wrong
maybe it’s not so simple
maybe there’s more beyond the frame
when will i learn to forget
how will i find my way
out of luck and room to run
search my memories for some symmetry
fell in love but lost control
rendered useless by a failure in design
blood and blisters from past mistakes
leave reminders of getting in the way
maybe it’s not so simple
maybe there’s more beyond the frame
when will i learn to forget
how will i find my way
what i’ve burned and the process
means what i’ve built and the progress
show me how to dismantle everything
thats stands between this silence
and new frequencies.
could it be that everything fades away
before you get the chance to count it
(it all seems pointless either way)
i got this
for every time i feel alone i know
i got this
i hear your voice in all my favorite chords
i got this
sing it louder than the voice in my head
maybe it’s not so simple
maybe there’s more beyond the frame
when will i learn to forget
how will i find my way

cleaning up this mess
nearly scared myself to death
now i’m getting better
started making excuses less
tried to focus on my breath
now i’m getting better
there’s a lesson to be learned
somewhere along the way
i just haven’t found it yet
but i’m still searching
frayed edges unattended
on the bridge to better days
now we’re hanging by a thread
unanswered echos // assumed allegiance
hail marys in the moonlight
took the best in show till the truth came out
you frame the metrics in your favor now
the game drags on ‘till your time runs out
you’ll still be catching up
when your time runs out
so what’s the difference
between a near miss and if i don’t try at all
will i still be singing...
hail marys in the moonlight
took the best in show till the truth came out
you frame the metrics in your favor now
the game drags on ‘till your time runs out
you’ll still be catching up
when your time runs out
hail marys in the moonlight
took the best in show till the truth came out
you frame the metrics in your favor now
the game drags on ‘till your time runs out
you’ll still be catching up
when your time runs out

can’t ignore what must be said
like slamming doors
just to open them again
it’s not alright
it won’t be fine
can’t just brush this off
i’ve thought about
how the words would come out
and i wish you’d do the same
felt like a lost cause
until i let it out
to respect the process
and what it takes to be sincere
it’s a shame
things have to be this way
better late than never
waiting for a chance to
make the same excuses
over and over again
it’s not alright
it won’t be fine
won’t let you cut me off
i’ve thought about
how the words would come out
and i wish you’d do the same
felt like a lost cause
until i let it out
to respect the process
and what it takes to be sincere
it’s a shame
things have to be this way
better late than never
nothing’s getting better
things are worse than ever
shame it had to come to this
sad day for the optimist
i won’t play the victim
or paint you as the villian
the cracks we loved back at the start
grow until they fall apart
if we don’t find the center
we can’t keep this together
everything we’ve built will break
crumble till it falls away
i’ve thought about
how the words would come out
and i wish you’d do the same
felt like a lost cause
until i let it out
to respect the process
and what it takes to be sincere
it’s a shame
things have to be this way
better late than never

So clean and so fast, this band is unbelievably polished. The vocals and guitars sound great, almost like they use auto-tune and about a million guitar tracks. I just don't understand how this band can sound so great!
