"I'll soon forget all of the things I'm dreaming of
We haven't met without you kick and screaming 
I'm one to bet on everything worth giving up
Make sure you let your life expire with meaning 

Just say what you want to me

I fell and tripped over the ones who've fallen down
And now I sit on top this pile I'm gleaming 
I'll make it fit into a square that's tethered round 
This same bullshit. Look at me now I'm leaving 

Just say what you want to me

You want your head to spin round
I got mine back in pieces
With both feet set on the ground
The air around decreases 
Free me

I'll get you back for all the gifts you've given me
The things I lack won't stop deifying meanings 
So get on track to all the things you want to be
I shouldn't slack in cutting down your feelings 

Just say what you want to me"

Say What You Want To

"Eleven years ago I was young and I was free,
A million points of view in a single part of me.
I searched my conscience through and decided that I'd see,
If I show my heart to you, would you give it back to me, yeah.

I lie awake at night, searching through my brain,
Decided what to do and exactly what to say.
But damn your heart so cold that you threw it all away.
I'm 23 years old baby, and nothing's ever changed, yeah.

Don't give me a reason,
To stop fighting and leave it.
All you've got is a feeling,
When one thing goes wrong, the rest ain't worth leaving.

The seasons always change but to me there's only two,
The ones that you're away, and the ones that I'm with you.
Don't hesitate to say you're my black and I'm your blue,
You're pushing me away baby, but I ain't leaving you, yeah.

(Don't give me it.)
(Don't stop, yeah.)
(All you've got now baby, yeah.)"

"You walked along the dotted line, did you see it baby?
It slipped out from the hands of time, now you're stuck here waiting alone.
I'll be the best that I can be, did you know that baby?
It's never good enough for me.

What if you don't know where your life is gonna lead?
What if you don't know what your life is gonna be?

Baby just breathe, everything I do is for you now.
Can you not see everything I do is for you now.
Baby just breathe.

All my intentions were the best, I tried to humble gently.
Instead I got stuck in this mess you bring.

The road is long and has its' winds
Don't you know that baby?
We slid right through the sands of time
Now you're stuck here walking alone

Now I'm stuck here walking alone."

"You saw my heart straight through my eyes.
I hid it years ago, but you saw right through my disguise.
I held your hand through all your lies.
Broke down these walls I’ve built, stumbled around ‘til you said.

Open wide,
I’ve got enough to keep you satisfied tonight.

And I wrote this letter when I died.
Retracing all your steps, everything you need to survive.
You saw them bury me alive,
They held their halos high, God held me down and told me,

Open wide,
I’ve got enough to keep you satisfied,
We’ll run until the sun burns out tonight.
I’ve got enough for you to justify your life.

You wanted me to beg. Forget, forgive, you said.
I wanted you inside my heart.
We watch the buildings fall, you’re one among us all.
I wanted you inside my heart.

You oughta know.

Baby won’t you."

"You wanted a monster so I built you a man. (Did you know?)
A son of a bastard with his own dirty hands. (Did you know?)
It’s this new age disaster that has stripped your mind clean. (Did you know?)
You think when it’s over it’ll be good for me, yeah.

Can you live at all with your heart gone, honey?

(Ooh, ooh) It’s the life you earned.
When you’re in need you’ll turn, yeah.

You tried to get better so you went to the start. (Did you know?)
You see I put you together but I left out one part, yeah.

Burn, burn, burn.
It’s just a part of me you’ve yet to learn.

You’ve yet to learn, when you’re in need you’ll turn. Yeah.

When you’re in need you’ll turn away."

"You're not a creature like me,
You need a real good lie to make you seem clean.
You wanna fuel this fire, and burn it up. You wanna know your mind, so make it up.
You wanna feel your youth, well here's the truth.

You're just a pawn that I use when I've gotta play this game,
When I'm done with you, I'll live my life like nothing's changed.
No I won't just go apologize when the tears swell up in your eyes,
Yeah you've gotta know, I lack control.

(Ooh) It's just a matter of time.
(Ooh) 'Til you're falling in line.
(Ooh) And you wanna break free.
Is it in your stride? Does it make you feel alive?

I'll never call this place home,
All the colours start fading to chrome.
Yeah, my point of view is getting worse,
When you live your life in reverse.
I just can't maintain, I've gone insane.

Feel alive, yeah.

Make me whole, need to feel your hurt baby.
Crave your soul, do you think you're worth it baby?
Is it in your stride? Do you make me feel alive?

(Ooh) It's just a matter of time.
(Ooh) 'Til you're falling behind, yeah.
(Ooh) And you wanna come clean."

"You’re the reason that I stayed, did my time and dug my grave.
Left behind all that I’ve made, chose you over everything.
Cut me down and give me strength, beat me over choices made.
Hope is dead and times have changed, over time everyone strays.
(Baby)

Voice in your head, is it me? Is it someone in you?
Voice in your head, does it breathe? Breathe this life into you?
Voice in your head, is it me? Or am I gone without you?
Voice in your head, is it real? Is it good enough for you?

You take it, and swallow.
Everything I’ve done for you.

You’re the reason that I stayed, do you think you’d say the same?
Stand behind the life you made, or watch it burn and fade away.
(Baby)

You take it, and swallow.
Everything I’ve done for you, yeah.
You fake it, and borrow,
All these lies become the truth.

Is it good enough for you?"

Voices

Following the release of their self-recorded and produced sophomore album, "Test of Time", New Renaissance caught the attention of Winnipeg producer Dorian Preston (formerly of Sick City) who expressed interest in working with the band. Recorded at Exchange District Studios in Winnipeg, MB, "Face to Face" is the first single to be released from their studio sessions, and combines elements from both of the band's previous LPs, with Preston bringing a new style and attitude to their sound. The song was professionally mastered at Lurssen Mastering Studios in Hollywood, CA. by the same engineers who mastered such albums as "Sonic Highways" by Foo Fighters and "...Like Clockwork" by Queens of the Stone Age.
lyrics
"You've lost your frugal ways, you're so full of shit these days.
It's not your hand to throw in every time, every time you know.
You're quick to point the blame, lost sight of your own shame.
So take a stand, throw in everything, everyone you,

I'm afraid of you, what you'll do, everything you've grown into.
I'm not blinded by the rage.
I'm afraid of you, what you'll do, everything I've heard was true.
It's time to meet this face to face. Oh yeah, yeah.

You've lost your head again, one time for old time's sake.
You don't have my hand to find your feet again, live it on your own.
Drink more to mask the pain, or you'll drive yourself insane.
Was this your plan? To lose everything, everyone you,

Say you love me, but if you don't want me I won't let it haunt me, baby.
Say you loathe me, 'cause if you don't owe me I won't let it own me, baby.

Oh, oh. Oh. It's time to meet this face to face.
Come on."
