If I let go, how far will I fall? Is it just something I can walk off? If all of my broken bones are now shown What do I have left to hide? The weight that I drag all around Screaming but without a sound Not another person wants to hear What's coming from inside Sometimes I'll sit and I'll wonder Just how far I could wander From my page From this place Bookmark my struggles and my age Remove this tourniquet from my arm I swear it won't do any harm You won't listen to me when I say I'm not that fucking sane Take these scars away from me Open them up so I can bleed Nothing else known to my name These scars I hide carry my shame Burdened and bruised alone I stand Tongue tied and a mouth full of sand Until the right words come to mind And it hurts to open up and say Sometimes I'll sit and I'll wonder Just how far I could wander From my page From this place Bookmark my struggles and my age But this weight tied to my sleeve Preventing me to ever leave Until honesty is part of me And I admit this all to myself

Nothing to Gain 02:28
lyrics

Mind your surroundings Take everything in Get a good idea On where to begin But what's the whole point Of looking around If you're gonna go ahead And tear it all down? Hey, man Where you gonna go With your feet moving forward And your head down low? Hey, man Didn't you know That you've got Nowhere to go? Set yourself up For the big drop off You're never gonna know If it's gonna pay off You're too busy wishing For something to come Instead of doing What needs to be done Have you looked at yourself? You're such a fucking mess You can't distinguish love from sorrow Or happiness from death Listen to yourself If you wanna save your breath None of this will matter If you're the only one left Or does it fucking matter? Or does it fucking matter? Hey, man Where you gonna go With your feet moving forward And your head down low? Hey, man Didn't you know That you've got Nowhere to go? Set yourself up For the big drop off You're never gonna know If it's gonna pay off You're too busy wishing For something to come Instead of doing What needs to be done

A Little Less Than Fantastic 04:13
lyrics

Mirror, mirror on the bedroom wall Can you show me anything at all? Can you tell me What I don't want to hear? Life never came so easy to me And death always sounded so simple And so sweet But it could never make you disappear Something a little less than perfect I hate to ask, but was it worth it? To look at yourself so painfully? A little less than fantastic All dressed up and made of plastic To hate yourself so perfectly I'm sorry that I bit my tongue until it bled But it tasted so good I knew it wouldn't make much sense If they found my fingerprints All over every scene of the crime Where it wouldn't be hard to find Something a little less than perfect I hate to ask, but was it worth it? To look at yourself so painfully? A little less than fantastic All dressed up and made of plastic To hate yourself so perfectly Mirror, mirror on the bedroom wall Can you show me anything at all? Can you tell me What I don't want to hear? Life never came so easy to me Death always sounded so simple And so sweet But it could never make you disappear Something a little less than perfect I hate to ask, but was it worth it? To look at yourself so painfully? A little less than fantastic All dressed up and made of plastic To hate yourself so perfectly

The Butchered Life of the Teenage Drama Queen 03:10
lyrics
buy track
You opened up your arms for me But I don't recall saying I'd watch you bleed But you cried all night And told me that you wouldn't fight So you split yourself in half And let me question why You say you want what you can't have A soul to confide A warm body to keep you alive You spoke of a fate way worse than death How you've coped with loneliness Getting along with all your demons But it's about time That you stepped outside Look you straight in the eyes And I tell you that the worst now over And that there's nowhere left to hide And the rest should just catch fire You'll get away with each step higher But you tell me Murder's not an option But suicide's OK And you would rather be forgotten With the flames that die away At the end of every forgotten day You spoke of a fate way worse than death How you've coped with loneliness Getting along with all your demons Being best friends with every broken mirror But the hatred you feel I feel it too You wanted to be real But it's all because of you

about

Thanks for listening! This is our first demo and we're excited to put it out. It's a very diverse six songs, but still relatively within the same genre. This demo was recorded completely at home, by us. We worked really hard on this and hope whoever listens to it enjoys it!
