Still Alive
03:29

Today I woke up to a brand new me
Free from the times of tragedy
Four years to find clarity
And now I’m right where I need to be
Against all odds
I won’t be silent any longer
Against all odds
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Still alive - Still alive
Put to the test, demonstrate my drive
Still alive - Still alive
I said it before “Only the strong survive”
You fall, you get up
You never let up
I found my way through the darkest night
I couldn’t give up - it’s time to live up
To everything I said I stand behind - Still alive
My hands were at my side and despite what you think
Not giving up the fight - a second chance at life
Look in my eyes and you will find
I’m twice the man I’ve left behind
I spoke to death and said we’d meet again
It’s not my time - it’s not the end
All the doubts just in my head
So let’s go! Full speed ahead
Against all odds
I won’t be silent any longer
Against all odds
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Still alive - Still alive.
Put to the test, demonstrate my drive
Still alive - Still alive
I said it before “Only the strong survive”
You fall, you get up
You never let up
I found my way through the darkest night
I couldn’t give up - it’s time to live up
To everything I said I stand behind
From the ashes brought back to life
This is the new sound of sacrifice
This is the new sound of sacrifice
Today I woke up to a brand new me
Free from the times of tragedy
Four years to find clarity
And now I’m right where I’m meant to be

The Outcast
03:05
|
|||
|
The air of judgment so thick (I can barely breathe)
I try and drift away (Its presence never leaves)
Run to the corners of the world - regret is in my past
If there’s safety in the same, I remain the outcast
If there’s safety in the same then I remain the outcast
Allow me to apologize because I can't see the world
Through someone else's eyes
These trying times don't last forever
So I’m all in now because it's now or never
I’m all in now because it's now or never
I’ve grown so sick with the dreamer’s disease
Fighting for all the nights I’ve spent losing sleep
Blurred lines, nowhere to walk
Bite my tongue when I try to talk
The path of least resistance was never paved for me
When there's no torch to bear and no footsteps to follow
Anything is possible
I am unstoppable
Run to the corners of the world - regret is in my past
If there's safety in the same then I remain the outcast
Allow me to apologize because I can't see the world
Through someone else's eyes
These trying times don't last forever
So I’m all in now because it's now or never
I’m all in now because it's now or never
So I’m all in now because it's now or never
I am unstoppable

Don’t pretend that we’re in this together
There are answers to these questions that you don’t wanna know
The truth (the truth) doesn’t make it better
Some things are better left alone
Misery doesn’t love company
And I refuse to be defined by suffering
Talking tragedy like a broken record
How many times must I relive this hell?
Are you really by my side or do you just want another story to tell?
Fuck this fake sympathy
You’re just a snake in disguise
Fuck this fake sympathy
You’re everything I despise
Disappear
I don’t know what comes next but I know what’s best for me
Without you here
Disappear
Deeply marked by life but these scars will finally heal
When you disappear
No future in the past and I can’t move forward
If you’re pulling me back
Face to face with my fears
They all will disappear
The reality is you only get what you give
But you won’t listen to a word I say
Make no mistake you could never relate
You weren’t there that day
I can’t keep it together - I’m about to break
Fuck this fake sympathy
You’re just a snake in disguise
Fuck this fake sympathy
You’re everything I despise
Disappear
I don’t know what comes next but I know what’s best for me
Without you here
Disappear
Deeply marked by life but these scars will finally heal
When you disappear
No future in the past and I can’t move forward
If you’re pulling me back
Face to face with my fears. They all will disappear
How can I move forward if you’re pulling me back?
How can I move forward if you’re pulling me back?
I looked death in the eyes
I’ve come too far
So now I have to cut you out
Cut you out like the leech that you are
I looked death in the eyes
I’ve come too far
So now I have to cut you out like the leech that you are

Overexposure

What a shame just another hopeless case
You wouldn't hear it if I screamed it in your face
I find no comfort in a crowd of thieves
You can’t lie to yourself, there is no glory in dishonesty
Do you know who you are? The hero or the victim?
Neither one applies
The blind follow the blind
I can cover my eyes and still see through you
Is this the hand you wanna play?
You don't know the difference from what you want and what you deserve
When it all comes crashing down can you back up every word you've said?
Yeah we all fall down
Yeah we all fall down but I won’t relive it
So show me your best and I’ll show you the difference
Fingers crossed behind your back
A coward's tale from a liars tongue
True colors in the darkest shade of black
Your world will come undone
We’ll see how hollow you are when the time comes
Your world will come undone
You’ll know you’re in it too far when the tide comes
Your world will come undone
When every dagger and every scar comes back at you tenfold
We’ll see who you really are
Is this the hand you wanna play?
You don't know the difference from what you want and what you deserve
When it all comes crashing down can you back up every word you've said?
Yeah we all fall down. Yeah we all fall down but I won’t relive it
So show me your best and I’ll show you the difference
This is the death of compassion
Free from the poison in your blood
A self-inflicted sickness
That pulls the air out of your lungs
You’ll find a fate worse than death
In the grave you have dug for another
But I stand on solid ground, I won’t let you pull me under
I won’t let you pull me under
I won't let you pull me under
This is the death of compassion
Free from the poison in your blood
A self-inflicted sickness
That pulls the air out of your lungs
You’ll find a fate worse than death
In the grave you have dug for another
But I stand on solid ground, I won’t let you pull me under
You don't know the difference from what you want and what you deserve
When it all comes crashing down can you back up every word you've said?
Yeah we all fall down. Yeah we all fall down but I won’t relive it
So show me your best and I’ll show you the difference
Show me your best and I’ll show you the difference

Make Or Break

The flame that once burned so bright is no longer a part of my life
The endless nights of regret haunt me until the end of time
Get up, Get up, See what you’re made of
They won’t hand it to you - you have to take it
Times up, Times up, Destroy what I’ve become
Every risk I take, every leap of faith
I’ll find my fear and face it
All in due time - The past is yours - The future is mine
All in due time - The past is yours but the future is mine
I don’t want to be, no I don’t want to be just like you.
And take what comes my way
I don’t wanna see my eternity torn in two and left in yesterday
I won’t be left in yesterday
Get up, Get up, Enough is enough
It’s time for action - No distractions
This fire’s everlasting
Outrun - Outlast
Erase everything that's in your path
Outrun - Outlast
Erase everything that's in your path
The past is yours but the future is mine
I don’t want to be, no I don’t want to be just like you.
And take what comes my way
I don’t wanna see my eternity torn in two and left in yesterday
No, I don’t want to be just like you and take what comes my way
My eternity torn in two and left in yesterday
Every struggle: inspiration
Every obstacle: motivation
There is only one resolution
If they don’t move, you move them
Outrun - Outlast
Erase everything that's in your path
Outrun - Outlast
Erase everything that's in your path

One foot in the grave and one hand in the sky
Heaven comes with a price
If all I know is Hell how will I ever find paradise?
Rabid are the wolves within that hunt with a vengeful sickness
When the innocent lose their innocence how can they find forgiveness?
It took everything to find a shred of hope in only shadows of me
So am I guilty for trying to put my mind at ease?
This pain is unseen
Some scars are more than skin deep
Unseen
Some scars are more than skin deep
Speak low so they won't know
Keep it in, don’t let it show
For all the days that came and went
Every moment felt insignificant
Standing on the edge of this divide
Between two worlds, unable to take a side
I ask myself as I run from the memories in my mind
Am I lucky to be alive?
Am I lucky to be alive? When it took everything
To find a shred of hope in only shadows of me
So am I guilty for trying to put my mind at ease?
This pain is unseen
Some scars are more than skin deep
Unseen

One Choice

The future in front of me isn’t paved with gold
In search of stability, down an unknown road
They say you’re going nowhere if you’re not ready to go
There’s nothing left for me here so now I go it alone
It’s all in my head singing over and over
Right or wrong, I know I just need closure
I won’t bend, I won’t break through the darkest of days
I remember - I survive I don’t surrender
I won’t bend, I won’t break through the darkest of days
I remember - I survive I don’t surrender
I survive I don’t surrender
There’s a rose in the soil where the weeds just grow
There’s a light in the darkness when the sun won’t show
It’s all in my head singing over and over
Right or wrong, I know I just need closure
I won’t bend, I won’t break through the darkest of days
I remember - I survive I don’t surrender
I won’t bend, I won’t break through the darkest of days
I remember - I survive I don’t surrender
I survive I don't surrender
Scream at the sky “won’t you set me free”
Spit in the face of my destiny
You’re not alive if you don’t break free
One chance, one choice - It starts with me
Scream at the sky “won’t you set me free”
Spit in the face of my destiny
You’re not alive if you don’t break free
One chance, one choice - It starts with me
I won’t bend, I won’t break through the darkest of days
I remember - I survive I don’t surrender
I won’t bend, I won’t break through the darkest of days
I remember - I survive I don’t surrender
I survive I don't surrender
I survive I don't surrender

Phoenix Rise
04:01
|

|
I’m gonna reclaim all of this
Take it back with both my fists
Too many years passed by while I was stuck in limbo
It felt so stagnant living life in the past tense
It’s time to get back up and tear down everything stopping me now
I’m more than my mistakes
What more can one man take and still survive?
Face forward into the night
I’m more than my mistakes
What more can one man take but I’ll survive
Face forward into the night
Thrown into the fire
Like the Phoenix reborn, I rise
The new dawn burns brighter
So face forward into the night
I’ve put up all these walls, no further I could fall
Can I destroy the doubt and still come out on top of it all?
No more what “could have been?”
Win the war within
Overcome the setback and leave this hollow shell in the past
It’s not much, but it's enough
It’s a spark, it's a start once again
It’s not much, but it's enough
To win the war within
I have to let this go - I have to let this end
I need to shed my skin, shed my skin and begin again
I have to let this go - I have to let this end
I need to shed my skin, shed my skin and begin again
I’m more than my mistakes
What more can one man take and still survive?
Face forward into the night
I’m more than my mistakes
What more can one man take but I’ll survive
Face forward into the night
Thrown into the fire
Like the Phoenix reborn, I rise
The new dawn burns brighter
So face forward into the night

Begin Again
03:27

I thought I gave it my all but I’m still not gaining ground
Can I swim against the current when I’m trying not to drown?
This was my escape - now it holds me captive
If I'm not the one to blame, why doesn't it feel the same?
I saw myself on the way down
He said it’s not how our story ends
You know there’s always a way out
Weather the storm and begin again
Feels like forever when you’re caught in the in-between
Caught in the in-between
The ebb and flow it comes in waves and I can’t break past them
They say hard times don’t last forever but can I outlast them
What meant the world to me before won’t hold the same weight anymore
Is this for me or is this for you? Either way, I need to see it through
Don’t let the things you love destroy you
Don’t let the things you love destroy you
Feels like forever when you’re caught in the in-between
I saw myself on the way down
He said it’s not how our story ends
You know there’s always a way out
Weather the storm and begin again
I saw myself on the way down
He said it’s not how our story ends
You know there’s always a way out
Weather the storm and begin again
Weather the storm and begin again

Aftermath
04:58

Running around in circles and I’m heading nowhere fast
Because more was said in silence then I could ever say in this song
So how many times must I beat my head against a wall
Before I finally breakthrough?
Is this where it ends? Can I be myself ever again?
The sights and sounds, the rise and the fall
It all played out with my life on pause
This is where it ends - I will not stay silent ever again
The sights and sounds, the rise and the fall
I’ll find my way after all
I don’t have it in me to sing of defeat
Triumph over tragedy
For all the demons that follow me around
It’s time I put you six feet deep underground
It’s time to put you six feet deep underground
Is this where it ends? Can I be myself ever again?
The sights and sounds, the rise and the fall
It all played out with my life on pause
This is where it ends - I will not stay silent ever again
The sights and sounds, the rise and the fall
I’ll find my way after all
The beat goes on
Yeah, and the beat goes on
Foundations that could never break
Was moving forward a mistake?
Or is that me pretending?
What happened to my happy ending?
Foundations that could never break
Was moving forward a mistake?
Or is that me pretending?
What happened to my happy ending?
Today I woke up to a brand new me
I know I can’t rewrite history
Yesterday is gone
And I’m ready for what tomorrow brings
The beat goes on
The beat goes on
Yesterday is gone
but the beat goes on
