Lyrics by Ben Lynch

This is the sound of the coming apocalypse
The unveiling of truth 

The sleeping masses will walk towards the light
We will take each other’s hands, tonight we fight

We are the sound of the coming apocalypse
A generation of hope

Batten the hatches and lock the doors
Because here we come.

Batten The Hatches

Lyrics by Josh Rowland

Happiness returns with your voice,
Like rediscovering a mental image from a long time.
You fix my heart, fill my stomach,
I'd do anything to have you.

I'm so low when you're so distant.
Remember that time?

So much regret from these past years,
I need you in my life,
This is complete adoration.

I'm so low when you're so distant.
Remember that time?

You're his bonus,
Remember that time?

I know I missed my chance,
Just one more and I'll take you-
Up on everything I've missed.
Just one more and I'll take you.

Liaison

Lyrics by Ben Lynch

Forever questioning myself 
Do I stand on weakened structures? 
Breaking the condition is a difficult feat 
When you're confused at your every turn 

It burns through my eyes
And sears in my chest
The way the few are living
At the cost of the rest

Mother, you helped me breathe 
Gave me shelter, and eyes to see 
Every aspect of you lives in me 
The children you bore, cast their eyes to the sea 
We are so deeply sorry that we all looked away 
While they bled you dry, but we're here to stay 

With every confidence we take an oath 
As the ones who can transform 
To the love from the hate

If I turn a blind eye
Drink 'til there's nothing left
Does that make me 
An orchestrator of death?

We'll consume ourselves.

We'll Consume Ourselves

Lyrics by Ben Lynch

We all have scars to hide
Untold splinters that linger inside 
If we just give ourselves a chance 
Trust in those we hold dear 
Let the flood gates open 
And the waves wash away the fear.

We all seek the reflection
That we can never attain 
The grass is just as green on the other side 
Remove the lies you wear 
Know your purpose, become your truth.

These anchors are made of paper 
Let them dissolve and rise 
We're images of serene perfection 
Not distorted misdirection.

Have faith in who you are 
In turn you will be free-
We talk around in circles
Time and time again
These words evaporate
After so many attempts-

WE TALK AROUND IN CIRCLES
(Lies take us backwards) 
TIME AND TIME AGAIN 
(The opposite route) 
THESE WORDS EVAPORATE 
(Know thyself) 
AFTER SO MANY ATTEMPTS 
(live in the now)

Chasing our tails, we see only tomorrow 
Action is the only way to make a change 
This internal warfare will get you nowhere 
Armed with lies, the heart falls at the hands of our minds- 

Armed with lies, the heart falls at the hands of our minds .

In Circles Pt.II

Lyrics by Ben Lynch

How can I trust you, when I can’t trust myself?
These visions are taking over, the title’s off the shelf
Heartbeats frozen in time, captured at their strongest
To reflect upon, when we feel our furthest.

The hours pass, the months, the years
The empty glass, wet behind the ears

Frames of you and frames of I
Mementos etched into our lives
Chasing the dream on broken knees
Buried beneath the autumn leaves

One foot in front of the other
lifelines pass us by from back to front
(Despair keeps us there) 
Events strung out from one chest to another
Pulled tight to breaking point

Chasing the dream on broken knees
Buried beneath the autumn leaves

A path lit by candles is easy to lose
Feeling out in the dark

How can you know gain
Without an absence?
How can you feel pain
When the heart is stolen?
Crippled by the veins
Trapped in those moments.

Despair keeps us there

Frames of you and frames of I
Mementos etched into our lives
Chasing the dream on broken knees
Buried beneath the autumn leaves.
