Burning The Faith 04:02
lyrics
buy track
My life was peaceful until I discovered The feelings and passions that I held seemed strange to another Live let live, seemed the simple answer Irrational fears preached by irrational father They strung me up, on a post Listed the sins I should regret the most "Won't somebody think of the children?" A phrase by fools allowing guns in the schools "Won't somebody please think of the children?" A phrase by fools allowing guns in the schools, Left alone with a priest teaching lessons they shouldn't teach Pious people gather round Christian symbols beat me down Bleeding from the face, the eyes, and the bowls I spit the blood out, the blood out These were ones I loved and trusted I gave my soul, Banned from all the family outings Left me out in the cold "Won't somebody think of the children?" Shotgun cocked, the child left in shock "Won't somebody please think of the children?" Shotgun cocked, the child left in shock Politicians gather, working blood to lather But we aren't all like this, There is hope, even in those we thought enemies No matter the faith, Creed or colour, we support each other There will be those that choose to pervert All their rules We all know that love and peace Is the lesson, that most wanna teach Your faith won't affect me Religion is sacred, the blind can see Whether Godless or Godful A faiths a faith, collaborate, turn great I will trust myself, blessed with a life Will love, through the strife

Hate & Suffering 04:09
lyrics

We are not the same; I reject your name And pull away from the pain A voiceless protest, a locked up princess And a hero that they detest This prison of gold, could never hold An unholy truth that needs to be told Enough is enough, I’m fucking done The beginning of our end has begun You wish I was the sinner in this story so that you could ignore your negligence You pray to be the winner so that you can fuel your arrogance I take pleasure in being the image of your shattered dreams and ignorance You polluted my life with anguish and fear Your words cutting deep and filling my ears “Stay with us, we are what's best for you my dear” I reply as I leave, “I hope you choke on your tears” You will have no part of me I can see through your hypocrisy You are lies and deceit, You are hate and suffering & I will set myself free From your reckless tyranny These scars will remain A symbol of your pain Your eyes are like clouds, as the downpour begins My heart hopes you drown, I am relieved from your sin Like a phoenix I fly, now tonight I'm leaving you Reborn from the ashes into something new I won’t be a reflection in your broken mirror I abstain from your affection as the horizon draws nearer (x2) I deny your love You will have no part of me I can see through your hypocrisy You are lies and deceit, You are hate and suffering & I will set myself free From your reckless tyranny These scars will remain A symbol of your pain Now it's down to me to break the cycle, Cut the ties It’s down to me to rebuild my life Her eyes cry out in fear, as she constantly thinks to herself ‘What have I done to get here?’ She is confused by all the hate, left wondering if it’s all true ‘Does my happiness mean nothing to you?’ Her once home, is now nothing but a warzone ‘Are you just a sick pair of homophobes?’ Her questions receive no answers, just more cryptic lies ‘Would fucking care if I died?’ The people she loved and called family Are now nothing but strangers and sadly She will never know why, they decided too Leave her out to die, under a cold moon Now facing the last time she’ll see them Her bags packed, heart heavy, life condemned She takes a breath, standing in the doorway Now with nothing left, she has something to say I...I...de..ny I deny your love You will have no part of me I can see through your hypocrisy You are lies and deceit, You are hate and suffering & I will set myself free From your reckless tyranny These scars will remain A symbol of your pain Now it's down to me to break the cycle, Cut the ties It’s down to me to rebuild my life

Sacrificial Suicide 03:27
lyrics
buy track
You’re sick and toxic And full of such bullshit I have to live With the fact that I am your kid You can’t manipulate Or decide, my fate I will not hesitate To circumnavigate And reveal your hate and pain I travel the night, weighed down by your pride Tears blurring my sight, every hostal occupied A new born nomad roaming this frozen wasteland My new bed inside the bandstand We will break you We will end you I watch the sea, swallow the sun I brave the frost I can’t see straight From baring your hate I'm broken and lost I will sleep beneath stars Writing memoirs Reflecting on scars, Counting the cars Travel through the abyss of my broken mind To find the courage for my, sacrificial suicide Shatter all my memories Drain your blood from my veins I watch the sea spit out the sun I brave the frost Into the night Winning this fight I’m still broken and lost Fear consumes me Until I can’t breath One moment is all it takes To my peace of mind I’m saying goodbye For anyone to break She's taking a knee Reaching for me A smile I can see Breaking me free Your ideologies are filled with rhetoric Your reasoning and excuses are pathetic You lack any empathy or sympathy You will live with in worthless infamy I’m a product of your hate Not the love from which I was made Will I inherit your mistakes? No, I’ll break the cycle and change my fate

Divided 03:24
lyrics

You were the catalyst for my demise When I thought I was the apple of your eye I tried so hard to be your image of perfection While you smashed my dreams in the name of protection But now I don’t know if I deny your affection Do I let down my guard to follow my dreams Or return to live by your broken regime Are we balancing on a fractured foundation? Or do you hold the key to my salvation? Ignore them (I can’t) Reject them (I won’t) So you choose them? I don’t fucking know I thought that (stop it) You loved me (I do) So why? Please don’t make me choose We can give you a life of prosperity Peace and unconditional familiarity Is it me? (I can’t) Is it us? (I won’t) You need to decide Leave me the fuck alone What will you choose With everything to lose My family's divided and falling apart Do I reject myself or follow my heart? I want to stand against hate and oppression But the comfort is pulling me back into recession Why do you decide my morals and code? Just because you saved me from the cold Is there a difference between rage and love? Or the devil below and the god above? We’ve spent your whole life raising you, Can’t you see? I’ve spent every waking moment saving you, From their tyranny You can still be rehabilitated (oh please) You are clearly not educated This apology, an atrocity Soaked in mediocrity Your hypocrisy and honesty Is constantly a mockery You are defenceless and jealous And splitting at the seams Cause of my relentless and endless Verbosity My family's divided and falling apart Do I reject myself or follow my heart? I want to stand against hate and oppression But the comfort is pulling me back into recession Why do you decide my morals and code? Just because you have your mountains of gold Is there a difference between rage and love? Or the devil below and the god above? What will you choose With everything to lose Come and place your bets Is it peace or regrets? My families divided and I’m falling apart My families divided and I’m falling apart

Finding Myself 03:43
lyrics

Twenty years, over seven thousand days More than two hundred months, is that what it takes? For the wolves to shed their sheep's skin For the damned to escape their inherited sin Travel through my broken mind To find the courage to survive I will not be a lost remnant of your imagined wealth, I will find myself And rise above the path you've laid out for me Every night I see your eyes looking down at me Your glare choking, your breath suffocating I won’t forgive you I reject you I left you Why can’t I forget you? I now spend every day deciphering the truth from your lies Travel through my broken mind To find the courage to survive I will not be a lost remnant of your imagined wealth, I will find myself And rise above the path you've laid out for me I’ve never been so short of people I can trust But within you I confide I’m so sick of being broken and lost Will you forever be mine? And in that moment, Carter feels the crushing weight of the unknown Travel through my broken mind To find the courage to survive I will not be a lost remnant of your imagined wealth, I will find myself And rise above the path you've laid out for me I’ve never been so short of people I can trust But within you I confide I’ve so sick being broken and lost Will I be purified?

Broken & Lost 03:49

I will never believe In what I can't see Can’t indoctrinate Me into your faith You run around struggling to decide Whether to take your facts from truth or lies Now you expect me to compromise With your clouds in the sky I deny your love You will cry and I will die So they never have to say goodbye I will give my body to the cross And become a beacon for the broken and the lost You will find, that I had lied Because I never really, truly died I ascended to a world above To watch over you with gracious and glorious love There is no peace in a name Every couplet of every line is a contradiction caused by time Every snippet of your mind is a work of fiction fuelled by pride Every action that you take is predetermined by your faith Any chance to negotiate is a distraction that I create To deny my fate Your lessons and teachings have been warped by time But now I'm feelin you in the deepest recesses of my mind You will cry and I will die So they never have to say goodbye I will give my body to the cross And become a beacon for the broken and the lost You will find, that I had lied Because I never really, truly died I ascended to a world above To watch over you with gracious and glorious love Is there peace in a name? Dragged down to a hell A condemned infidel Closing the chapter On my mother and father Now, who am I? I splash around in disbelief How can I be drowning? When everything I need is right in front of me It’s not enough You will cry and I will die So they never have to say goodbye I will give my body to the cross And become a beacon for the broken and the lost You will find, that I had lied Because I never really, truly died I ascended to a world above To watch over you with gracious and glorious love I have found peace, through your name My pain left me wondering, if you were real And through my suffering, you taught me how to heal
