lyrics

I'm no longer wasting time feeling sorry for myself, or thinking I'm not enough.
I want to make a difference while I still can in the lives of the people around me
So I've said goodbye to the nights I'd spend with a six dollar pint of whiskey
And now I'm trying to face my shortcomings, cause distractions won't send them away

I've got some things to take ownership of, like a lack of maturity.
Cause I still storm of without warning when I need to get away

And it makes me realize that moving on is not the same as forgetting
I think back to hiding in fear of what I'd realize about myself
But I'm still guilty of altering myself to fit better in a room
Though I now know when I am lying, and that honesty just won't come easy

And it's not about the promises that you have made to yourself as much as it's about commitment to take things as they come

And it took a long time to get there.
I'm still not sure what it all means
But I can't shut down when I'm feeling a lack of security
I'll hold myself to a higher standard and try to ask for what I need
I am through with romanticizing my self-destructive tendancies

God, it just sounds so HUGE. Luckily they have the songwriting chops to go along with that power, so this stays interesting throughout, rather than devolving into pure tone worship. MetalDipshit

It’s a highly laudable feat to make a debut album as ambitious in its musical breadth as this, and to pull it off in such an accomplished way. A truly great album. davekillcountysmith
