Caleb Kluttz This was a wonderful start to a great band's success. I enjoy every single track and I love their debut album just as much as this one. Favorite track: Living Pieces (ft. Garret Rapp).

This is our apocalypse The perfect moment to play the martyr When rained down in arrogance We built this on our own This fire fills our lungs Will we ever find the end of this? And over time, we play this over and over With every breath we take And over time, we play this over and over Is this the way that we will always live? I have contemplated this It's easy to resist the product of this broken gift Will we sink or sail this ship? Will we ever see the end of this? And over time, we play this over and over With every breath we take And over time, we play this over and over Is this the way that we will live? Without these lungs to breathe It’s alright, it’s alright It's not air we need It’s alright, it’s alright Will we ever breathe again?

These folded bones will hold this hull that we have founded Well what is doubt when there is no such weight behind it? My eyes have seen the reckoning that's held before me It’s ours to bleed with everything that’s in our bodies We have loved, and we have lost Now tear it down and rebuild Now tear it down Find a way to rebuild what is broken What’s fallen apart Separate from these wounds that are open We're stronger this way Now I will find a reason why this ship is burning It’s taking water and we will not be deserted We have loved, and we have lost Now tear it down Pull it down and rebuild With these hands we are wounded We are strong enough this time Maybe I don't need to breathe Maybe I should just live my life like I am dying one breath at a time Maybe I should make believe Saying that I can’t create Anything worth my time The world was really never mine Maybe I should trade beliefs Turning my back on all these things we’ve overcome Maybe I don't need to breathe Maybe I could just live my life like I'm an echo of the obvious Tear it, tear it down rebuild Tear it, tear it down Tear it, tear it down rebuild Tear it, tear it down Find a way to rebuild what is broken What’s fallen apart (Fallen apart) Separate from these wounds that are open We're stronger this way Find a way to rebuild what is broken What’s fallen apart (Fallen apart) Separate from these wounds that are open We're stronger this way Tear it, tear it down rebuild Tear it, tear it down rebuild Tear it, tear it down rebuild Tear it, tear it down

It’s all in the way that I forget to feel I could forget anything With an idle mind, is ignorance divine? Why the stake to the heart Will we separate the arteries From a heart that isn't clean enough for me? Some say the serpents found its hole One that some have always known A place for me to call my own And without ever letting go the burden I look to the stars again Will I find my place in this, or will I fold? I look to the stars again Will I believe, or will I fold? Was it a feeling that has beaten me? Some could state the reverie We fall too far just to find the start But I know I hold my place here in this world What you leave behind you will always know But I'm not ready for the days These brittle arms to give away And fail me once again As I prepare for another quick charade And I will not be buried When time holds rhythm I look to the stars again Will I find my place in this, or will I fold? I look to the stars again Will I believe, or I will fold? I find the walls collapsing The treated burns the tormented I know the fear will find us all I find the walls collapsing The treated burns, the tormented Define your fate or believe in it I look to the stars again (The stars again) Will I find my place in this or will I fold? I look to the stars again Will I believe, or will I fold?

With wounds, we will follow to battle Fatigued and broken hearts With words we find the perfect weapon (The perfect weapon) These mouths much stronger than swords I know this will all come back to you (Back to you) I’ll try not to let you drown We are the very same We’re standing in the dark (We are the waiting, the waiting) And don't you wait for me To waver in belief (We all fall, but will we land on our…) I feel as human as ever With all my strengths and my, my defects here alike I find it will all come back to you But when you wait for me, we will not let you drown We are the very same We’re standing in the dark (We are the waiting, the waiting) And don't you wait for me To waver in belief (We all fall, but will we land on our feet?) You’re only as great as what you give to the world There’s so many ways to shape it Yet so many ways to break it down You’re only as great as what you give to the world There are so many places love lives Yet so many ways to let love in

Left are withered remains Of but a broken dream And I want to believe in sincerity But I won’t be the one to watch the world around me Crumble from beneath Wait, remain We fall too far to pick ourselves back up Breathe, restrain The worst is what we've made here for ourselves Asphyxiated, born to be buried But all will change unless we can clear the air But I believe it I wait alone With all but hope to carry home Left are withered remains of but a broken dream (Start again, now believe in it) And I want to believe in sincerity (What is love without meaning?) But I won’t be the one to watch the world around me Crumble from beneath Save your fame For those of superficial regard Wave your shame For those bleed a weaker point The sum of loss and love will bury us I won’t allow the worms to find their home But I believed it I wait alone With all my hope to carry home Is there a reason to fight alone? And can I thrive without my flaws? Left are withered remains of but a broken dream (Start again, now believe in it) And I want to believe in sincerity (What is love without meaning?) But I won’t be the one to watch the world around me Crumble from beneath Open your eyes wide The gallows below Open your eyes wide To the rope, to the rope again Left are withered remains of but a broken dream (Start again, now believe in it) And I want to believe in sincerity (What is love without meaning?) But I won’t be the one to watch the world around me Crumble from beneath
