Summit 02:46
The complexity of everything Can’t be held in my brain There’s a likeness in all of our seams And a pattern to our veins This great consistency Is buried in our hearts But there’s poison flashing on the screen That’s ripping us apart I won’t go there with them I won’t engage the cycle History has built to this What a joke Security and modern comforts Are keeping us blind To the fact that we’re all in this together This is all one life Real people, real hearts Beating like yours and mine Real souls, full of purpose Snuffed out at the border line
2.
I can’t remember What it means to feel Secure and comfortable Knowing that you’re real It begs the question Where do I belong If I don’t find purpose when I Sing your sacred songs I’m turning Turning my back for now My voice Won’t be heard in this crowd And what scares me most Is that I want to believe But this distance and separation Is all that makes sense to me

Stab Back 02:38
The great mystery Wrapped up and sold as certain truth Dismissing dignity Accept the price without any proof Such great apathy Bites with a contradicting tooth Drinks in complacency So comfortable forgetting youth It’s so funny you cling to A way of life you don’t understand A weak attempt at doing right With hope of payment in the end The distance between reality and belief Couldn’t be farther apart What us use is repairing the present When all you’ve done is harm from the start Kill your apathy Stab back at the hand that holds you Think for yourself, man You can’t afford to be gullible The options you’re offered Don’t hold what you’re after Separate or you’ll never be free Call your own shots, kid There is so much more Than you’ve been led to believe Don’t blindly trust the narrative You’ve been force-fed This is only the end if you let it be
4.
Slipping 03:55
I care too much I’m losing touch This is my crutch Anticipate That I’m too late This is my fate This is my fear All I hold dear Will disappear I’m slipping And there’s nothing my nostalgia will do To keep me standing I’m slipping Into something I never wanted to be I feel it in myself But I don’t have the words To make you understand I’m still the one you love I’m slipping And there’s nothing my nostalgia will do To keep me standing I’m slipping And I hope there’s something left This is my fear All I hold dear Will disappear
