Lyrics written by Chase Parker & Jayce Darrah

Insubordinance at its best
Not giving in, like the rest
Futuristic views on an empty page
Emotionless values seem to disengage

Anarchic sons of chaos
Living with no remorse
Let the lies all fade away
While the pain runs its course

Rebellion

"Misery" a Misgivings Fall original song, the second track from their debut album.

Chase Parker - Bass
Jayce Darrah - All Guitars, Vocals, Tambourine
Brooks Brinstad - Drums

Lyrics written by Jayce Darrah

I'm not happy
I'm not exactly miserable
Why am I telling you?
You treat me like a criminal
When push comes to shove
I wouldn't call it love
The feelings we once held
Feelings that were compelled

I dont want you to go
I just need you to know
If I could ever love again
I would love only you, my friend

I'm not sorry
For things that I have said
When you told me
You'd rather have me dead
Well that did not surprise
As I looked in your eyes
One lousy mistake
Leads to another heartache

I don't want you to go
I just need to know
Will you ever leave me again?
Is this really the end?

I don't want you to go
I just need you to know
If I could ever love again
I would love only you, my friend

Misery

"Games" a Misgivings Fall original song, the third track from their debut album.

Chase Parker - Bass, Lead Vocals, Sound Effects
Jayce Darrah - All Guitars, Lead Vocals, Sound Effects
Brooks Brinstad - Drums

Lyrics written by Jayce Darrah

The explosion of your voice
Leaving me no choice
All the little games you play
You don't care if I stay
Let me tell you a thing or two
You don't know I don't need you
Two can play at every game
Fool around, I'll show you shame

I will smile, as you will cry
For all the petty things you've tried
Tables have turned, you're feeling blue
What you've tried on me, I have done to you
No excuses, nonetheless
Without empathy, I must confess
No place for you in my heart
No worries now as I depart

You don't need to lie to me
'Cus I loved you just the same
One more drink to ease the pain
To help me keep myself sane
It doesn't take too much
To make someone feel unloved
You know you will succeed
And so I will concede

Games

"Downfall" a Misgivings Fall original song, the fourth track off their debut album

Chase Parker - Bass, Lead Vocals, Acoustic Guitar
Jayce Darrah - Electrics Guitars, Lead Vocals
Brooks Brinstad - Drums

Lyrics written by Chase Parker and Jayce Darrah

You don't know how I feel
When I am cuffed and bound 
I wish I could change your ways
All around
I would have you with me
Safe and sound
You could feel a love we found

Gathering all my things so I can
Up and leave
Tired of living in 
The shallow sea
Naive love, jelous hearts
Not for me
Swimming through a debris of memories 

I've tried to forget you, you live in the past
Just let me have one last breath
Before I say goodbye, I need to kiss you
As I make my way to certain death

So as I plummet, I hear you call
You just want one more chance
But its too late to turn back now, I'm already gone
To a place I know I must advance

Dream

Jayce Darrah - All Guitars, Lead Vocals, Maraca
Brooks Brinstad - Drums

Lyrics written by Jayce Darrah

Hourglass is out of sand
We're running out of time
All the things that I had planned
Erase them from my mind

No more will I beg in sorrow
To reap you of your choice
The fate of those that you borrow
Who never had a voice

Upon the setting stars I gaze
Like many times before
Our lives entwined in different ways
Repent forevermore

All these emotions in my head
They lead me back to you
Despite these actions that I dread
I'm pointed back to you

Fleeting opinions of lives unplanned
Awaken in your mind
The view of love that I withstand
Only keeps me confined

Reclaimer

"Choices" a Misgivings Fall original song, the seventh track from their debut album.

Chase Parker - Bass, Lead Vocals
Jayce Darrah - All Guitars, Lead Vocals, Keyboards
Brooks Brinstad - Drums, Tambourine

Lyrics written by Jayce Darrah

Running so far away
From here nowhere to go
Hiding from society
Because of them I'm feeling so low

Is it ok to be free?
Is it ok to be me?
It it ok to live this life the way I do?
Is it alright to be free?
Is it alright to be me?
What path am I on, living the way I do?

Sometimes you gotta think about the choices you make
Sometime you gotta know how everything's supposed to go
Sometimes you can't help when you're caught and restrained
The only way to be free is to deal with the pain

Finding what you didn't want to see
Is it because of me?
Fighting for what you believe
If its freedom you want, its what you may recieve

Is it ok to be free?
Is it ok to be me?
Is it ok to live this life the way I do?
Is it alright to be free?
Is it alright to be me?
What path am I on, living the way I do?

Sometimes you gotta think about the choices you make
Sometimes you gotta know how everything's supposed to go
Sometimes you can't help when you're caught and restrained
The only way to be free is to deal with the pain

Choices

"Self" a Misgivings Fall original song, the eighth track from their debut album.

Chase Parker - Lead Vocals
Jayce Darrah - All Guitars
Brooks Brinstad - Percussion

Lyrics written by Jayce Darrah

Me, a vision in a chamber
So soft, yet so clean
I am the constant remainder
No matter the dream
I am perpetual sorrow
Who is never fully displayed
The life you'll save tomorrow
Is a life I have betrayed

I am satisfaction
Bleeding over time
Extracting your reaction
From the stem of your mind
I am a creator
Interpreting all you feel
Only a translator
Feeling all that's real

You are emptiness
Wallowing in self-hatred
Your motives only envious
Your greatness only jaded

Self

"Politicians" a Misgivings Fall original song, the ninth and final track from their debut album.

Chase Parker - Bass, Lead Vocals
Jayce Darrah - All Guitars
Brooks Brinstad - Drums

Lyrics by Jayce Darrah

After all that we've been told
After all the lies you've sold
Propaganda is everywhere
Its the greed that you all share
Spend our money on your twisted beliefs
All you are is full of deceit
Doubtful control of the population
Your morals questioned by the mass of the nation

Your policies remain
As you have yet to explain
These inane laws exist
Just for your own gain
Demanded by the people
Your efforts are so feeble
Your practices are what
Should be illegal

Always wrong, limitless power
Without your title you're just a coward
People suffer indefinitely
Their cries for help are deafening
You only care about your wallet
You don't realize there's more than profit
What ever happened to democracy?
This county is run on idiocracy

Your policies remain
As you have yet to explain
These inane laws exist
Just for your own gain
Demanded by the people
Your efforts are so feeble
Your practices are what
Should be illegal
