Torn Nature 04:59
lyrics
buy track
Confusing matters grab my hand We hate things that we don't understand Soul inside is gasping for air Breaking free from happiness and those who care Praying to God, throw down a line This hate builds, engulfs us sometimes And take this confusion from my home We only choose the dreams we love Torn nature, my creed Casting a mold of me By throwing your stones you bury me Where is my sword? Youthful glow still needs to sow Pick me up from my earthly low These swords subside behind my eyes Making a cross...or is it crosshairs? Where is my sword? Come to me! Where is my sword? Cut me free!

Mirror 04:32
lyrics

Broken face and sensitive eyes can't pull me through Am I disgraced? These attributes follow you Will you accept me and the person I'll always be Or drape my soul with your cold hands so rapidly? All I see is pain staring back at me It's weakening to see a man on his knees I fought you off but I can not believe in myself What I've been...what I am...two persons half a man Turn away and leave your shame behind Run away, you coward... can't you see? I need a face, but my reflection is society

Birthright 04:09
lyrics

We sat there on the coach one night And talked about life and who we are I couldn't accept our fate When you looked at me solemnly, eyes full of sad You wish there was a way around But I wish there was a way down Can you see what I see? And hold on to what you believe? Harder and harder it seems The years went by so fast And the pieces of the puzzle fell into place My thoughts drifted back on that night When you looked at me solemnly, eyes full of sad You wish there was a way around But I wish there was a way down What you've been told can always be Un-told if you care to see The curtain's not closed And there's a switch in your mind That can open the doors

F.T.I. 06:39
lyrics

The sea you do part, I see your broken hands And soon I will stop to ease your head But the truth you speak not Remember man Listen man I know it's been a long time What if I said I was about to die? Would it scare you, or would you be happy? I think you know So your soul has fled to a place I dread, and... Man I'm just trying to fill the void in my life All the tears I cry, you avert your eyes, and... Man I'm just trying to fill the void in my life To the sun you've flown, far away from home, and... Man I'm just trying to fill the void in my life I lived a wasted life, now I give One more piece of advice Remember me Now I'm dead The truth you do part, it's in your head And I'll sow in my heart until I'm dead All the things you speak not Goodbye man

Dead Weight 03:39
lyrics
buy track
Dead weight, we're all asleep Awake to never know you were here Forgot about yourself one night Forbearing dirt without a fight Tell me can you accept this end? To die and never know that you lived? You might as well call it a day Hang it up 'cause you're some dead weight Storm clouds shadow dead weight Walking 'round taking up space Stormy days coming your way Walking 'round taking up space Time to time you forget your fate Sun burning cold we're all erased I told you to call it a day Hang it up 'cause you're some dead weight When your time comes And your soul flies home On and on and on it goes To what end, who knows?

Thunderstorm Mind 04:00
lyrics
buy track
Got to channel this feeling inside me Transforming nature, anger arises Pitiful creature saw me broken down Pitiful creature stole my soul I felt the dreary fumes suffocate me Sailing on my fiery vessel, now I see You used your vanity to tear me down Now take a ride on my thunderstorm cloud Now that it's done misting on my mind Heard an explosion, thunder that breaks the line Must now close my eyes to the world outside Windows to myself would wound your soul Now you feel my pain inside Now you see my pain decline Now you see my anger arise Now you feel my hate inside If you take my pain and the hate inside my mind Up to a thunderstorm sky and let it all rain down Down on us evenly, for all of life to see Would people scream and weep? Would they all pity me?

The Blackness 05:57
lyrics

Crawl through my bones Factories turn blood to stone Build a tomb to hide Years' worth of misery inside Hey wait... This isn't right Can this be the truth? Or is it just my mind? Lay hand on heart Knees crack when the body drops Hey wait... This can't be true For if it's not my brain Then suffer in all we do Haven't seen the sun in a week Nothing good, so why even wake? Out of bed and work all day Nothing good, just go back to sleep Night's here so come out and play Ease my pain any ole way Night sky mirrors a world away Away... We've shared this fray Brother's heal lends to rapid rate Hey wait... I guess this is our fate But if you dare to see Then you will find the truth Haven't see the sun in a year Getting cold, I don't even care Seems to me I got no fear Getting cold, so why should I care? Haven't see the sun in...who knows? Leaves are falling and I'm growing cold I'm cold...

The Burden on Me 05:26
lyrics
buy track
Change of thought, an eclipsed heart You cleaned your hands I saw your moonlight Save its origin And I rode around the bright light Above your head Yet my youthful years commandeered A mind misled The months a fly and here I lie My back to the brace Freeze my goals, preserve my mold As I leave this place And through clouded dreams and foggy eyes She takes my hand What she showed me still remains as The fall of man It's on me... Scared to death and out of breath I need to be Back at home to the norm So rescue me Well now here I am back on the ground But hovering Overhead what remains is The burden on me Too much pain to feel in just one night Too much hurt, I turned to her advice I don't know how I survived But the burden is on me for the rest of my life The rest of my life

Gone Away 03:43
lyrics
buy track
Gone away Are those days when we played When the sun shone so bright That we couldn't see Now turn around The mirror's grown so cold And when I stare deep in my eyes, I see lies Lies... Gone away Never to return But we hold on to hope So the dream doesn't die But turn around The mirror's right there for you Take a look inside your eyes, you'll see lies Lies... Gone away Are those days My mistake... Speak of the future, it never comes In my mind it's all wasted time But I can't see it The twilight blinds my eyes In my mind it's all wasted time Speak of the future, it never comes It's a lie that there's still time Hold on to hope, but it never comes In my mind it's all wasted time But I can't see it Clawing the fabric The twilight blinds my eyes

about

The Burden on Me is an introspection of the experiences that mean the most to us: those that bring us together, tear us apart, and ultimately become part of who we are. Initial reviews describe it as "…hot, hard, and meaningful!" with "…deep, introspective, and important" lyrics and a guitarist who is "…unique and impressive."
