Dave Miller WOW Amazing album ! Melodic hardcore that carries some great pace through the whole thing without the predictable song structures. It reminded me of great 90's era hardcore bands in some parts. Really good to see a fresh take in 2016 - Looking forward to see these guys rise up and get noticed! Favorite track: Waiting To Be Seen.

A New Day 01:54
Raise your eyes from sleep Get up on your feet And walk into the arms Of a promising morning sun This day is hiding the unknown The wind is changing its direction A different shape of things to come Forget the past Let go of what you can’t control Forget everything you’ve ever known A given chance to change To start it all over again Yesterday’s gone Today we’ll keep moving on This time we’ll make it count With every single breath we take Towards a new beginning Towards the dawn of a new day Towards the beginning of Of a new day

/// The Aftermath This morning’s silence Is far worse than Those words we spoke Last night I could not help Tearing you up And now i feel sorry For these words i have spoken A bitter taste of regret Is breathing down my neck Grief splits me open As i feel the distance growing But i know We can’t continue As we are And there’s no turning back No turning back But i know We can’t continue As we are And there’s no turning back Please Don’t turn your back on me Let me hold you Even if it’s for the last time I know This was not what you’ve expected But believe me this is me Reaching out to you Don’t ask me To say that i don’t love you It’s not that easy Can’t you see? We’re not where we want to be And still we’re here Fighting not to walk away from this Don’t move away from the ache Before it leads you back to the beloved Don’t walk away Don’t walk away from this Don’t walk away Don’t walk away from us. Please Don’t turn your back on me Let me hold you Even if it’s for the last time I know This was not what you’ve expected But believe me this is me Reaching out to you

/// Adapt or Suffer Lost inside memories I'm dwelling in days of future past As the present fades away in time Unpleasant feelings arise A desire for more For more to come More of what has been How did I get here? What has been falling along the way? Losing ground under my feet I can't get a grip on anything Nothing's like it used to be I'm telling you something is missing A life once lived Free of sorrow These days are gone How did I get here? What has been falling along the way? Everything changes all the time We live in a world of momentariness If i could only let it go I know Change is inevitable It's not that bad As long as I can keep the fear from my mind It is what it is Adapt or suffer This time No excuses This time No excuses

Ten Years 03:46
Ten years back I still remember the day When we got started Endless nights, counting days Not a single breath wasted away We've come so far And there's so much further to go In you I've found meaning and joy With you I laughed so many times Together We'll keep going on Together We'll stand These melodies are still playing in my head Up and down, i can't get enough Every time together leaves me so alive I wish this moment could last forever In you I've found meaning and joy Through you I love myself Together We'll keep going on Together We'll stand Ten years from now We’ll remember this day When we got started Endless nights, counting days Not a single breath wasted away I wonder whether we'll be Still coming together Singing these songs

Sometimes you find yourself In the middle of nowhere And sometimes in the middle of nowhere You find yourself Wherever life is taking you No matter what circumstances you’re in Don’t become discouraged so easily Have faith Cause I believe in seeing you rise We are living This life of danger We’re not afraid Of falling down We are willing To risk our lives Uncompromised and alive Ever reaching for the sky Sometimes it’s hard To keep going on Our hearts get broken We’re left alone Don’t give up It’s not the end Never say die Come take my hand Life goes on and so are you Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose We are living This life of danger We’re not afraid Of falling down We are willing To risk our lives Uncompromised and alive Ever reaching for the sky If you don’t try You’ll never know This is the way you gotta go To make your dreams come true And live the life you always wanted to Don’t give up It’s not the end Never say die Come take my hand We are living This life of danger We put our lives On the line At the drop of a hat With all our hearts Forever and alive It’s not safe You’ve got to trust Whatever it takes You’ve got to trust Whatever it takes Whatever it takes Nothing’s ever for sure And you’ll never know what’s waiting You’ll never know what’s waiting What’s waiting for you

In a time where things get thrown away Instead of fixing them Everything is losing its value We switch from one person to another Waiting for "the one" to make us happy Finding nothing but disappointment Unable to love, but consume We're trying to improve the play By replacing the protagonists Facing nothing but empty halls Again and again the same frustrating show Looking for the missing pieces To close the gaps in our hearts No one will come and make you complete Cause that's what they all are looking for Love me for my imperfection Accept me for who I am With all my flaws and contradictions Love me like you've never been hurt before Not for me or because of you Just do it for the sake of love We live according to someone's expectations Sacrificing our freedom and self esteem Compromise by betraying ourselves Just to get the acknowledgement that We've been craving so desperately We refuse to take responsibility Projecting our desire upon each other Living on someone else's expense Love me for my imperfection Accept me for who I am With all my flaws and contradictions Love me like you've never been hurt before Not for me or because of you Just do it for the sake of love A life of dependance Out of fear of loneliness How can we be together If we can't be alone? How can we see the beauty in each other If we don't see it in ourselves? For we are beautiful creatures Waiting to be seen This is the time to fix what's broken To hold on to for what it's worth We stand together through good and bad Forgive ourselves for what we've done Approach each other with open hearts Reach out for "the ones" willing to see To find everything we ever dreamed of And give it all away

What the hell did we think was gonna happen? We were trying to do something good We were being human beings What are we now? I can't picture it anymore We don't know what's coming next What have we done? The fences are down The fire is still burning You better run Somewhere far away From there But we're not going anywhere We're all the same We’re all the same We’re all the same All the same Is this who we are? We can't go back We don't really have a choice Never trust Never again We could have listened to what the world was telling us Did we wanna hear it? We still don't We should have listened to what the world was telling us
8.
I've got nothing to say Not now, not today Why is this so hard for you to relate? No need to override the silence Feel this sensation, these thoughts, the movement Let's contemplate for a moment Feel this sensation, these thoughts, the movement Let us unfold this agitation I've been talking too much Nonsense, small talk Why do we need to speak all the time? Feel this sensation, these thoughts, the movement Let's contemplate for a moment Feel this sensation, these thoughts, the movement Let us unfold this agitation What we do or say is not important There's so much more far beyond a conversation Stay with me, just stay with me Stay with me I've got nothing to say Not now, not today Why is this so hard for you to relate? No need to override the silence Feel this sensation, these thoughts, the movement Let's contemplate for a moment Feel this sensation, these thoughts, the movement Just let me be alone together

You see I was never meant to be A vessel formed by your needs You say you love me And truly your demands are restricting me You subject me to your ideals I thought this love was unconditional We were meant to be free And now it's all gone Now it's all gone Every time we try Nothing's like it seemed Nothing's like it seemed We've lost touch, broken hearts Death casts a thin shadow over our lives The scab has been picked off the wound Have we betrayed ourselves by denying our past? Every time we try Nothing's like it seemed Nothing's like it seemed Everything's falling apart I am confused and overwhelmed Are we still free to walk away? Are we still meant to be? Bring me back to consciousness Cause I am trapped in this nightmare Am I dreaming? We can't afford to collapse, not now We've got to overcome This weakness Reject this fear and anxiety Surrender the defenses Of this hopeless situation Reclaim this love Let's leave this darkness And break into the light
10.
Don't put your faith in me I promise i'll disappoint you Trust me in this for once I will let you down with no remorse Like a leaf blowing with the wind, we're floating on separate islands Wandering across each other from time to time Forever - is just a concept in your head Each moment - trapped in eternity That's all we will ever get That's all we will ever get Isn't it beautiful, don't you think? Here we go again Behind every corner There is a blank page Waiting to be filled with letters of an untold story Whose mystery lies behind the attractive nature of a transient event Like a leaf blowing with the wind, we're floating on separate islands Wandering across each other from time to time Forever - is just a concept in your head Each moment - trapped in eternity That's all we will ever get That's all we will ever get Come with me We need this now Let's see how far we can get This could be our only chance Yesterday is gone Tomorrow won't be born Time to move on You should go home The odds are running low I'm waving Goodbye

Departed 05:34
This is the science of recurrence The lingering sound of imperfection Echoing wearily from a distance As we lose sight of each other I’ve been here before Coming up this dried-out stream Exhausted by a deficient desire Receiving the transmission returning to collapse back upon itself We’re stranded On this idle desert Lurking by an extinguished fire We’re stranded On this idle desert Watching the smoke dissolving into nothing We’re lurking by an extinguished fire Watching the smoke dissolving into nothing As we’re breathing what’s left Of this poisonous reaction I thought this time was gonna be different That we would make it past the point Where we left off the last time we did Striking the sails This boat is sinking irresistibly into the depth Of an entangling ocean Sinking and sinking We’re sinking Into the depth Of an entangling ocean We’re sinking Towards the bottom Of our existence I thought this time was gonna be different That we would make it past the point Where we left off the last time we did Striking the sails This boat is sinking Sinking sinking sinking We’re sinking Towards the bottom of our existence Hold on tight I will not let you go I’m with you until the end
