Don't know where I'm going
Know exactly where I've been
Drown in my demons
Found out that they could swim
My past has come to get me
Though I turn the other cheek
Never knew what I was missing
Until I became me

So lets keep it real
I'm not sure how this feels
I won't come back for more relapse
Motionless and still
Hey I'm for real

Have you even been so broken
Endless shame holds you down
Afraid to show your face 
Though no ones around
I've done many evil things
Though I've never been caught
The monster inside my head
Is a person that I'm not

So lets keep it real
I'm not sure how this feels
I won't come back for more relapse
Motionless and still
Hey I'm for real

Every single thing I see is begging me
For that simple sense of pleasure that comes from release
I said stop it, shut up, shove it, fuck it, I can't believe
This persistent struggle of nothin' but misery
Its stealing the joy out of my life
Its never empty
I can't take it no more 
I gotta believe

So lets keep it real
I'm not sure how this feels
I won't come back for more relapse
Motionless and still
Hey I'm for real
So lets keep it real
The monster thats in my head
It's finally fucking dead
I won't come back for more relapse
Motionless and still
Hey I'm for real

Another day that’s full of rain
Another night without much gain
Can’t seem to break the chain
Today I feel like one small grain

If I focus on the frame I can’t see you
If I think about the shame I can’t see through 
If you call my name will I hear you
There is purpose in the pain

Another day I take the blame
Another mess that feels the same
Powerless to make the change
Through the hurt you still remain

If I focus on the frame I can’t see you
If I think about the shame I can’t see through
If you call my name will I hear you
There is purpose in the pain

I saw you there the other day
We didn’t have one thing to say
We got lost along the way
Tore it down from one small fray

If I focus on the frame I can’t see you
If I think about the shame I can’t see through 
If you call my name will I hear you
There is purpose in the pain
There is purpose in the pain
There is purpose in the pain
There is purpose in the pain
There is purpose in the pain
There is purpose in the pain

Surrounded by Silence - Straitjacket (instrumental version)

Deep down I know.   
I can see your fear.  
It's locked inside of you.
The way is clear.
Light will guide us through;
but only if I move.

I'm trying hard to see 

so I can find me.
Page heavy like a tree 
with my breath escaping free. 

Flaws are seen
mostly by you.
Our time is coming due. 
So obvious 
our words were never true. 
The rope that's held by you. 

I'm trying hard to see 

so I can find me.
Page heavy like a tree 
with my breath escaping free. 
No motive is keen.
I cannot wage this war. 
Can we just let it be? 

I feel this fire
like desire 
burning inside me.
And I cannot change your view.  
And I hate myself for 
all my failures.
Know we disagree
And I reach out to you.

Wish I knew then
you could be so cruel.
Don’t bother like a fool.

I’m trying hard to see

so I can find me.
Page heavy like a tree
with my breath escaping free. 
No motive is keen.
I cannot wage this war.
Can we just let it be?

Grind - Don't You Forget About Me (Simple Minds cover)

Infinite (GarageBand demo)

Infinite (Devin vocals chorus only)

There are consequences 
for the failures in life. 
You wanna take control 
but the cards were not dealt for you this time.
You know I hate the feeling 
that you gave it your best
but failed the test

How could you fall from the tower that you built so strong and tall? 
How could you fall?   
Where did I go wrong? 
Was I not meant for this all along?

I see it clearly my dreams.  
I will not be disrupted.   
But might it all just be misleading me?
Stand up and face the fear straight on.  
You can’t do this discreetly.   
Still the uncertainty is killing me. 

It won’t come easy,
you have to keep chiseling at the stone.  
You’re not alone
Where did I go wrong? 
Was I not meant for this all along? 

I see it clearly in my dreams   
I will not be disrupted. 
But might it all just be misleading me? 
Stand up and face the fear straight on. 
You can’t do this discreetly.  
Still the uncertainty is killing me.

Seize the Sun - Failure (feat. Andria Sullivan)

Tried to make myself today
but I just can’t seem to mold this clay.
Don't wanna care what they say.
Guess I'll try again tomorrow 

Tried to make myself today
but I just can't seem to mold this clay.
Don't wanna care what they say.
Guess I'll try again tomorrow. 

I wish this all would go away.
We Iive to fight another day.
Look to the sky to find my way 
and we seize the sun tomorrow. 

Try to look the other way.
All I ever see are shades of grey.   
We stumble through in disarray
but I still know who to follow. 

I wish this all would go away.
We live to fight another day.
Look to the sky to find my way 
and we seize the sun tomorrow.

Did you feel it break?
Weaponizing minds, you freed this monster.
A shadow of your world undone. 
Sacrifice a child and feed it further.
 
Darkened skies, empty eyes -- everything is breaking -- everyone is gone. 
Looming overhead, it is fully aware of where we are…
...and why we are the ones who have been called upon.
And we’ll fight till our world has come undone.

You'll never be alone.
I'll follow you wherever you roam.

I hope you're wrong…
I hope you're wrong.

On a quest to find our will, frequencies collide; we’re running out of time.
‘Cause everything is breaking -- everyone is gone. 
Looming overhead, it is fully aware of where we are and why we are the ones who have been called upon.
And we’ll fight till our world has come undone.

Your light abandons you.
You think this child will still rescue you?
Count your limited time; this world will eventually be mine.

Through the night we wait for a sign.
Are we free…
...are we aligned?

And even when you’re with those who love you most...
And even if you're just resting your eyes, it is still haunting you.

I'll see you in the Upside Down
Come meet me in the Upside Down
I'll see you in the Upside Down
Come meet me in the Upside Down
I'll see you in the Upside Down
