It's getting close 
I feel it in the air and in my bones 
The Earth is shaking around me and I pause 
I look to see what else is going on 
But no one seems to care 

I kept repeating different reasons hoping they would stay 
Go in one ear, out the other, then evaporate 
Can't you see that all these words have been well thought out 
I memorized each letter each time I wrote them down 
Why you putting up your shields this is no attack 
Why you saying nasty things if you can't take them back 
I'm just saying that there's something wrong 
Let's do something before it's all gone beyond reason 

I can't help but feeling 
There's more that can be done to fix this mess 
There's so much commotion
Blink and it's over 
What really changed 

I kept on thinking with the little steps that we'd progress 
Come together, solve these problems, maybe fix this mess 
And I know that it gets harder every day 
No one gives a fuck as much as they will say 
Who am I talking to when all I see is a frail façade 
A cover up for insecurities that you once had 
Prove me wrong, break control, lose it all 
Just do something before it's all gone beyond reason 

I can't help but feeling 
There's more that can be done to fix this mess 
There's so much commotion 
Blink and it's over 
What really changed 

What's there to say 
What's there to do 
But rot away with you 

What's there to say 
What's there to do 
But rot away with you 

What's there to say 
What's there to do 
But rot away with you 

What's there to say 
What's there to do 
But rot 

So much easier not to think about 
Or worry what life might add up to 
I'm so much closer than I was back then 
When I'd pretend I knew just what to do 
Blame my shortcomings on someone else 

(Cause I'm) I'm riding the wheel 
I want to get off next stop 
(But I'm) I'm thinking too much 
This is the crutch I stand with 

(Cause I'm) I'm riding the wheel 
I want to get off next stop 
(But I'm) I'm thinking too much 
This is the crutch I stand with 

(I'm) I'm riding the wheel 
I want to get off next stop 
(I'm) I'm thinking too much 
This is the crutch I stand with 

(I'm)(I'm) I'm breaking the wheel 
better jump off next stop 
I thought about it long enough

Breaking the Wheel

White shirt now red, my bloody nose
Sleepin', you're on your tippy toes
Creepin' around like no one knows
Think you're so criminal
Bruises on both my knees for you
Don't say thank you or please
I do what I want when I'm wanting to
My soul? So cynical

So you're a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I'm that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the bad guy, duh

I like it when you take control
Even if you know that you don't
Own me, I'll let you play the role
I'll be your animal
My mommy likes to sing along with me
But she won't sing this song
If she reads all the lyrics
She'll pity the men I know

So you're a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I'm that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the bad guy, duh

I'm only good at being bad, bad
I like when you get mad
I guess I'm pretty glad that you're alone
You said she's scared of me?
I mean, I don't see what she sees
But maybe it's 'cause I'm wearing your cologne
I'm a bad guy

Cause And Effect

What I Do Best

What if I could change the past? 
What If I right what I've wronged?
What if it's not what I want?
Instead, what if I lose it all?
It takes but a second to break,
A matter of minutes to cause
an everlasting mistake destroys 
what I've been working towards

What if I could look ahead?
Replace the perspective I saw
I'm Leaving behind my regrets
Release my hidden potential
It takes but a second to mend
A matter of minutes to spark
Ideas that will light the flame in me

What if I can't find myself?
I've been looking everywhere I've been
I keep on doing all the same old things trying to rewind time
I searched out there
I even ran into my closest friends
They're also wondering just where I've been
They haven't seen me in nights

How can I rewrite the code?
The missing link I need to solve
Reaching my evolution
Become more than an animal
Splicing the good and the bad
Realizing it's all that I've had
I'm taking none of it back
Relax, brace myself for the impact

'Cause even if saw what's next
it guarantees nothing will mend
'Cause even if I've made mistakes
So What? Who would I be without them?
I'm tearing apart to rebuild
Connecting the pieces to fix
The complex that will define strength in me

I found myself
I've been looking everywhere I've been
Turns out I was where you last would think
Moving forward in time
I made my way
I even ran into my closest friends
They're also wondering just how I've been
I've been doing just fine

La lalala lalala lost in my head 
Stuck inside this mess, stuck inside this mess
Leave me

La lalala lalala lost in my head 
Stuck inside this mess, stuck inside this mess

Flashpoint!

I heard your footsteps echo through the room
But you were nowhere to be found
And it's the small things that I'm thinking of now
As I circle this whole house

And in this moment
I am dreaming of what we'd become
What's done is done!

I've learned every crevice in your skin
And just where I would fit in
But it's those late nights that I'm craving somehow
The secrets made when we laid down

And in this instant
I'm realizing our swan song has been sung
So what's done is done!

I thought together we'd make it ahead
Of the whole human race
Instead, we just lost who we were
Lately, I think that it’s all in good faith
That the growth and the pain
Were worth every scar that was left
That was left
You're worth every scar that was left
You're worth every scar that was left

I thought together we'd make it ahead
Of the whole human race
But instead, we just lost who we were
Lately, I think that it’s all in good faith
That the growth and the pain
Were worth every scar that was left

I thought together we'd make it ahead
Of the whole human race
Instead we just lost who we were
Lately, I think that it’s all in good faith
That the growth and the pain
Were worth every scar that was left

What's Done Is Done

I dream of what is and what could be
I'm imagining where the wind goes
Still, I'm stranded with misconceptions
Assured that there is more than what I'm told

I'll never know if I don't go
What could've been and what's unknown
I'll pack my bags, I'll say goodbye, I'm never looking back

Today I will make a change
'Cause withering bones will break
And I don't have time to waste
The end is nigh, what will I do about it

Defy my fate
My darkest fears I'll face
Maybe I just can't wait
I'm starting now
There's nothing you can do about it

Setting sail across a vast and savage ocean
On a raft that I built with my own hands
Went against my loved one's wishes
I hope that one day they'll understand

I'll never know if I don't go
What could've been and what's unknown
I'll pack my bags, I'll say goodbye, I'm never looking back
Today I will make a change

'Cause withering bones will break
And I don't have time to waste
The end is nigh, what will I do about it

Defy my fate
My darkest fears I'll face
Maybe I just can't wait
I'm starting now
There's nothing you can do about it

Here comes the storm
I avoided for so long
All hands on deck
No matter what it takes

I've made peace with what I've done
Settled scored with everyone
I'll translate the failures
The success's I will use as weapons

Now that I've made a change
This bounty of mine is paid
Tomorrow is mine to waste
The end is nigh

Today I defy my fate
My darkest fears I'll face
Maybe I just can't wait
I'm starting now
There's nothing you can do about it

Stranded

Somewhere between just enough and way too much, Discord Theory combines elements of Progressive Rock and Pop-punk while lyrically provoking thought, love, and hope.
Emanating from the palm trees and the sunshine of Tampa, Florida, the members of Discord Theory first came together in 2017. It wasn’t long before they were already working on their debut EP, ALAS, which they balanced with as many live performances as they could cram in. Along the way, they secured opening sets for such noteworthy acts as Portugal. The Man (Gasparilla Music Festival), Bayside, and Peelander-Z. Without currently being able to tour and play live, the band is making good use of the time by actively writing and recording their debut full-length album with Lee Dyess, who has produced albums for groups such as Mayday Parade, From First To Last, and Against Me! On their downtime, you can catch the band supporting the local arts, small businesses, and helping the community grow.
