about

This song is technically our self titled song, however it lyrically is different from the rest. This song talks about my family having an addiction problem and where it is or has lead them, specifically my father and brother, and how I am trying not to go down the same path they went. This was the deep song of the release.
-Mike

lyrics

A father born into domestic conflict,
Taught to drown his sorrow,
And achieved such with a bottle of alcohol,
Living life like there's no tomorrow.
He married, had kids, and took all of his
Anger out on us;
A repeating cycle of abuse and chemicals
Is enough to leave me in disgust!

But I'm still alive
And every day I try
To not take those chemicals
Despite abuse,
I swear that I refuse
To let myself fall.

A brother born into domestic conflict,
Taught to drown his sorrow,
And achieved such with a bottle of pills!
Living life like there's no tomorrow!

But I'm still alive
And every day I try
To not take those chemicals
Despite abuse,
I swear that I refuse
To let myself fall.

What once was
Will always be
The past never goes away.

You can let it destroy you, or benefit from it.
How much of it can you take?
Just keep moving - just keep breathing!
You know you're worth it.

You don't have to prove a thing or be prefect for anyone

I'm still alive
And every day I try
To not take those chemicals
Despite abuse,
I swear that I refuse
To let myself fall -

I'm still alive
And every day I try
To not take those chemicals
Despite abuse,
I swear that I refuse
To let myself fall!
