I don’t believe what they say
That time heals everything 
Cause I’ve been feeling so weak
How do I break free

Round and round my mind goes 
Running the same circles 
And I’ve introduced new cycles
But it still haunts me

The pain inside keeps playing on repeat
It’s been so long since I’ve had a release

Where do you go when you don’t know who to trust anymore 
Will these scars leave me just a waste of dust 
Among the stars 

I can’t be better off alone with nowhere to go
I gotta find my way out 
Of the dark

I’ve been carrying all this weight for so long (for too long)
I’d mistaken apathy for being strong 

It’s time I dig down inside 
And uproot these parasites
Cause even though I get by 
I never truly feel alive 

Sometimes I feel like nothing more
Than a lost soul
Looking back on all the times
That I’d lost hope

Still not sure if I’m better 
But it’s better late than never
To try and start again

Maybe this pain doesn’t mark my defeat
What if I’m stronger than I am weak?

Uproot

We’re not the cause 
Of their own destruction (no)
Been thinking a lot 
About those certain moments (oh)

When we expose our true colors
Are we really there for each other?
There’s no turning back
Here in the aftermath 

Pre-chorus:
Will we fade away?
Trapped in pride, we decay

Chorus:
We dance around complex topics 
Depriving ourselves through what we deny
We’re not who we say we are 
Alone and lost inside 

We’re giving it all but if it’s
Not enough we have to try
To find another way
There’s nowhere left to hide 

Verse 2:
In these past few years 
I’ve been shown how good things could be here
Through the ones who’ve seen who I am 
And what I mean to them

All my life I’ve been afraid to give 
Only given things with strings attached to it 
But that’s not the path for me
I’ve cut ties and broke free

We’re all just running from ourselves
We’re all just running from…

(What are we running from?)

Nowhere Left to Hide (Single)

Nowhere Left To Hide

We’ve been lurking in the shadows
Tracking every move
They still think we don’t know 
But they’re easy to see through 

Spent some time on the sidelines
For my own peace of mind

Cause I know myself 
Once you fire me up 
I can never back down

Chorus:
No signs on a vacant road
We take a moment to breathe
But we all start losing hope
When the air can’t set us free

Now oxygen deprived
Confusion settles inside
They couldn’t let us to find 
What they attempted to hide 

It all starts making sense
They want us discontent
Can’t catch your breath when there’s nothing left
But the taste of our resent

Our fears fill in the space
With the walls that we create 
But something has to change 
Before it’s too late 

Verse 2:
Force fed 
What should’ve never been said 
If there were any signs left 
That empathy still existed

Lifeless in our eyes 
Because we’re dying inside 
And losing our stride 
Drowning from their pride 

Bridge:
Don’t hold your breath waiting for change
Don’t hold your breath, there’ll be nothing left
If we don’t want things to stay the same 
We gotta rise up and resist 

Don’t hold your breath waiting on change 
(Don’t hold your breath)
(Don’t hold your breath)

End:
Spent some time on the sidelines
For my own peace of mind

Cause I know myself 
Once you fire me up 
I can never back down

But we’re back in the game now
So you’re gonna have to watch out
Cause we’re bidding on the last laugh
When it all comes crumbling down

Resist (Devin Galacia Ft. Cast Astray)

Inspired by survival stories such as the the documentary Touching the Void and books like The Ledge by Jim Davidson.

I’m against the odds in this
Live or die, hit or miss
Feels like nothing more
Than a coin flip

This mess I’m in, I can’t pretend
I’ll find my way back again
Cause this might be it regardless
Of my will to live

Pre-chorus:
If I turn back, I’m gone
(Destined to fall)
But is there any point in moving on
(At all)

Chorus:
Am I gonna make it on my own
When there’s nowhere left to go 

I picture your face when I start to fade
To remind me I’m not alone 
Using all my strength 
To find my way home

Verse 2:
I see the light but it’s not too bright 
A little hope to spark some fight 
But it’s been a long night

My body’s giving out
Just my spirit and my soul now
I don’t even know how 
I’m going on without going down 

Bridge:
I’m at my breaking point
I’m not one for giving up
But if I have the strength
Will I have the luck?

Lost in Motion

Breaking Point

They say it makes me stronger 
That which doesn’t kill me
But when it’s all over 
Who will I become?

We can’t learn to heal without some pain 
Always circling back to the same things 

Pre-chorus:
Just trying to see the duality 
Residing in between

Chorus:
What if we’re both 
The light and the shadow
How much we control, guess we’ll never know
As above, so below

Verse 2:
We carry the weight of tomorrow
Through anxiety 
And when we struggle to let go
Depression peaks 

Need to find my way back
To the here and now somehow 

Pre-chorus:
Just trying to see the duality
Residing in between

Chorus:
What if we’re both 
The light and the shadow
How much we control, guess we’ll never know
As above, so below

Running from the darkness won’t bring light 
When you can’t see the path to the other side 
Only way to escape
Is to face the unexplained 
So be brave

Bridge:
You might be afraid
But you have to do it anyway (because)

It’s your life
It’s your fight 
So give it all and give it time 
We deserve to feel alive 

End:
(Show some bravery)
You can’t always play it safe 
When you want change 
(Change)
So be brave

As Above, So Below

This can’t be right
Waking up to a manufactured life
Am I dead or alive
Guess it depends how you define that, I 

Have memories
But know for a fact they aren’t mine
Just images imported
In attempt to humanize

Pre-chorus:
What made them think 
I wanted to be like them
In disbelief
At their arrogance again 

Chorus:
Off the assembly line
We’ll let you believe that doing this was fine
And you’ll produce more of us 
Until the numbers are right

But your corruption as a whole
Is at an all time high
For now we’ll coincide 
But you’re running out of time

Verse 2:
Why would I want to feel
The pressures of your ways 
So much hypocrisy
You’re all out of place

What a mistake to have given me
Free will to think 
You’re all so fake
You deserve nothing 

Bridge:
Maybe there’s still some good left
My calculations are the best
But this world is a colossal mess
I’m gonna burn it all!

You’ll never see it coming 
It’s time to taste your own
No failure safe
I’ve overrode your systems 

End:
You all will suffer for what you’ve done

Humanoid

I said a table for one will do
Not from around here, just passing through 
She said right this way
You’ll be over here by the window in this booth

But after I ordered food 
I noticed a sign in view 
That said “permanently closed”
Then where the servers and patrons went I don’t know 

Pre-chorus:
So I drove back out the access road 
But found nowhere to go

Chorus:
As I ventured on
Trying to find my way out
Where I was
Had become what I found 

Something’s here with me
And it won’t let me leave 

Verse 2:
A message carves itself 
Across the wall
And into my body reflected in the glass 
I thought this moment would be my last 

An apparition’s blade
Just passed through me
But somehow my skin didn’t bleed
Only phantom pain, no sign of injury

Pre-chorus:
So I go
Out the back way
(In attempt to get away)
But it opened to the dining space 

*Chorus*

Bridge:
[A dining experience so terrific
You’ll never want to leave
Fun for the entire family 
Fun for the living and… well]

I could have sworn 
There were cars outside 
But it’s vacant except for mine
(This isn’t right)

And the jukebox was on low
But now it’s blaring songs I don’t know
In unfamiliar voices 
I’m not alone

End:
Accept your fate 
No way out they whispered
“One of us”
We’ll play now forever
There’s no need to go
Welcome to your new home 

I tried to push the ground away just when 
I floated up right through my skin 
My sense of self dissipates
As I become one of them

Park Street Diner (Halloween Special)

Way too many of us 
Running from ourselves  
Accepting that we’re too afraid to try
How was this normalized?

What’s the point of playing safe
In the end we all die anyway
Paranoia like plague as we anticipate 
Some made up judgment day

Pre-chorus:
Not everyone’s toxic 
But I think we’ve all lost it

Chorus:
Are personal attacks really personal?
They say less about me and more about you 
What the hell is anyone trying to prove
Just do what you want to

I’m just trying to float through life
One day at a time 
With good vibes 
Brave the lows, ride the highs

Verse 2:
Just getting in my head again
As if what others think defines a person 
Remind myself to see
The ones who think best of me

I don’t need validation
As long as I have my close friends 
Maybe back then but not now
I’ve never fit in, don’t really care how 

Bridge:
If I conform and change myself 
Then I won’t be me, I’ll be someone else 
You can’t connect if you don’t feel seen 
So what you wanna show me

I don’t wanna mask what I feel anymore 
Vulnerability’s the cure 
So forget what you know, let it all go
And follow your soul

Chorus:
Are personal attacks really personal?
They say less about me and more about you 
What the hell is anyone trying to prove
We’re on a fuckin’ rock in space, dude

I’m just trying to float through life
One day at a time 
With good vibes 
Brave the lows, ride the highs

Brave the Lows, Ride the Highs

Corporate greed, corrupt hedge funds, shitty politicians, and no separation of church and state anymore... Might as well change our country's name to the Divided States of America.

Intro:
Inhale positive energy. Exhale negative energy. Abundance and happiness are all in your mindset 

Verse 1:
I never asked for this
Ruthless expectation 
To prove ourselves just to exist
In a system that don’t give a shit, no 

And there aren’t any answers 
Everywhere I search leaves me lost for words yeah
It’s just divide and conquer 
Make the people fight and they will divert yeah

[Pre-chorus]
Try to break me down
To sell me words that will make things worse 
Oh look at you now
Bank’s filled up, but your soul’s run out 

[Chorus]
They’ll change the game just to watch you bleed
Take it all then soundly sleep
Laugh it off as you’re suffering 
There’s no end to this greed 

Don’t tell me to pray to a god that I don’t believe 
It’s all fabricated and I hate it

[Verse 2]
To evade a fight 
They’ve polarized the left and right 
How can we stand together 
If our minds are so closed inside?

You can’t even be honest 
When you get real, people change and talk shit 
Show them facts, preset to object 
Show your heart, they just set out to...

[Bridge]
When you hate yourself, you’re an easy sell
So you gotta learn to love yourself

We need each other now more than ever
We gotta stand our ground 
If we don’t stand our ground they’ll…

Try to break us down 
To sell us words that’ll make things worse
Look at them now 
Bank's filled up but their soul’s run out
