STORIES LYRICS

1. State Of Intermittence

How did we get here?
How did we come so far?
We're all divided and trapped inside our thoughts
We've been conditioned by feedback one by one
Transmissions fading without end

If we build this life from nothing more
Than what we were told before

All I ask
Are you still listening?

We draw the lines
And we're breathing the same air
But now we're running out of time

2. A False Sense Of Security

Speakin' up for the whole world to hear me
Now I'm not so quiet any more
Oh looks like I've come undone
And all I need
All I need is some where to begin
I'm trying to write down my thoughts
They've been kept so quiet and cold
But It gets so hard to remember
Well that's my problem
I've been losing track
Almost everything I've said
What's left to keep me centred?

Oh world take me back
I'm sure I've double crossed my words
I'm repeating the same steps that I took
I keep givin' up
But I can't remember why
I keep giving up
But I can't remember why

Nothing seems to last
Like we wanted
It's all I wanted
Nothing seems to last
All I know is I tried
I tried to bring you life

Do you ever feel like you've forgotten
All that you promised
All that you promised yourself?
Do you ever feel
Like you've betrayed who you are?
And was it worth your heart?

Even though I tried to fix myself
We live to shed our skin clean
Only to leave it out for the world

I keep giving up
But I can't remember why

I hope when I'm gone they'll forget what I said
I hope when I'm gone they remember me
I hope when I'm gone they'll forget what I said
I hope when I'm gone they remember

3. Highwater

Stranded here
I've been counting every day
Waking up I'm waking up
Just to fall asleep again
Oh distant world this is not the life I chose
I'm the only one up here
I'm the only one who knows

Everyone from here looks so automatic
We're all set in motion
You couldn't be more alone tonight
But I still envy your isolation

We're so calloused
We're so calloused
I'm still looking for answers alone
I'm beyond ready to go

There's a hole in this plot
And I'm asking questions about what I'm worth
How to forget what I've been given
And who I am

I've been losing ground for a while now
They said it'd be alright
But I'm seeing things
And I can't sleep at night
Oh and I feel so run down
And running out of
Run down and running out of time

They need to pack it up
And shut it off for good
So flick the switch
To turn the whole thing off

Bled out and left to die here
But I won't let them
Repeat the same lies

I'm afraid to die in the same place
If I could I'd leave you with nothing
But these words
"Time is delicate hold it
Hold it closely"
Don't let them take away your life
Your life from our hands

I know it feels like we're all set in motion
But we cannot can never let it go for anything

4. Alone In The Fallout

Laying down
Your complexion
Lay me down one last time
Life is a complication
Listen I know I'm alone in the fallout
Life is a complication
Listen I know I'm alone

My burden is your blade
Your fear to be left alone
Go and live your life
Defeated by disorder
Maybe that's what I need
Someone to keep

Alone in the fallout

Don't ever bury how it feels to
Well it's so shameful how they use you
For everything you're worth
For everything they wanted
No..

I've been tracing back
Everything that you said
No need to reason
Just speak from your heart
People don't care what you've been saying
Back to them at all

5. For A Second... I Couldn't See A Thing

This room is making me nauseous
I can't hear myself think
My trembling hands keep me from falling
My visions heading straight through this tunnel again
And I can see the way out

Pick me up
Pull me out
I've trapped myself
Under Everything I built to last
I'm kicked down

I'm just someone
With a problem
But no one's listening
They've all been telling me
"It's all in your head"
Again and again and again

Sorry for speaking up
This is a conversation
Not a reading of my rights

So listen
I fear I'm not the only one to blame
Oh god this is it for our culture
And our generation

I lost sight of the future
I'm oscillating back and fourth
So dig me up from this hole we're in
Because I've done it again
I've had this dream where I'm stepping back
I have this dream where I'm looking for my eyes
Because I can't see the way out

Man in the light
Under the pressure
Might need to lie down
Feeling depression
Man in the light
Might need to lie down
He might need to lie for
He's under the pressure

This it it
Life is letting go of
Of what the world told you
You must detach yourself from who you are
To start again

7. The Golden Thread

We were gods in the form of children
Incite the one that resides
Deep in the heart cave
Beneath our skin
I know we're walking onward
Just how well did we cover our tracks?

Grip to what you can
We're falling faster than I can believe
I fear there's nothing to break our fall
Slowing down time to be on the same page

Living in the artists eye
Cut off our tongues and we'll be alright
The words we speak are often meaningless
I'm holding on to the lines
That the ink has marked
From my heart to the world
A reminder that I'm still alive
It was the purest reflection
I am unbound from this world

Carve it deep in the bone;
"I exist for this release alone"
With no reason not to devise
How could you give it away?
Your sentiment for a life lone lie?

Self doubt can not justify your means
To escape a new reality
We hold the keys to unlocking
The doors we're seeking
The revolution

8. Zuko

I know you tried to lay it out
But your bloodlines been a blur
And you're passing through it all

Looks like you've found yourself
Down the road you came from
So carry on with the same abandonment
Just like your father
Another generation apart

We move just like flames
Conditioned by our motion
But this won't be the end
It must be so hard when
They played with your heart but
Just let me show there can be a way out

We're so toxic in the way we talk
How nothing means nothing to us
This is who we are
This is who we are
So try not to hold so tightly
To the hands that keep pulling you deeper
Let me show you
Let me show you the way up

Are you breathing fine underwater?
I've been waiting at the surface for you
To regain control
Cause I can't find it in myself to let go

Why would I tie myself
To the one thing I can't fix
Pulling me down tot the floor
Down to the bottom
Don't act like you're trying your best
Don't act like you've tried before

We are all just a picture
Composed by memory
Painted by what we've felt
So what's the point in opening our wounds?

Looks like you've found yourself
Down the road you came from
Don't carry on with the same abandonment
Just like your mother
Another generation apart

9. Under Haze

Dead static air
Sedating every breath
And nothing makes sense
With white noise blaring in my ear
Broken lights have us running blind
In the dark we are burning out
Unexposed and confined
To the world that led us on
As long as there's time left
We are all lost together

We're defined by what we despise
I'm looking for a break in the wall
That we're putting up
To tear a whole in the life that we're breathin' for
Am I the only one who's thinking?
Tear a whole in the life that we're bleedin' for
Am I the only one scared of how this ends?

We're all born into the ocean
With the same thirst
Nothing but salt to dry our insides out

Dive with me to find out
Just how deep this all goes
And why we need it all
I'll try my best to understand
As long as there's time left we are all lost

I can't stand to watch them crawl
Slaves to the world that they call home
I can't stand to watch them crawl
Slaves to the world that they call home

10. Waves Of Me

If feels like forever
With my heart upon my sleeve
I'm writing down how it feels
Cause I can't seem to feel a thing
Not through this empathetic reflex
It only hurts the way you hurt when you suffer
The only crack in the world I've had built for me
I'm grateful For
I'm thankful for it all

This is where my body meets its end
I'm crawling with the depressed
I'm crawling through the smoke
Let me carry your hurt
Oh let me carry you
The light that consumes me
Is bright enough to complete me
What's the point?
What's the point?
In letting people fall?
I was given all I need to last
Last a life down here of smoke and fog

Down here we pay for it
But I'll give it to you for free
Down here we pay for it
But I'll give it to you so freely
Oh our connection comes at a price
Down here we pay for empathy

Don't go pulling at the snakes skin
It won't work out that way anyway
Don't go pulling at the snakes skin
It won't work out that way
Cause we're all dying at
The same pace that we should

What's the point in trying to change the cycle?
We're all dying at the same pace that we should
What's the point in trying to change the program?
We're all dying

11. One-Hundred Percent Grey

[Instrumental]
