COUNTERPARTS LYRICS

1. (You Think You’re) John Fucking Locke

The most common insecurity is our destination after our conscious fades away. The biggest factor in how one molds their existence, is nothing more than a distraction from what is really important; who we are in the present. I know in my heart the life I lead now means more to this world, than any "reward" I may receive after death. I know this to be the truth. I refuse to sacrifice the life that I've been given in the hopes of something greater, when all I need is right in front of me. Because I believe in man, I believe in myself, and nothing else. I can't put my faith in uncertainty. While there's still no proof of validity amongst the old familiar pages, which to me are nothing more than fucking words. I will choose life over faith, and I will put my trust back in myself. And then I'll be free. Together we can eliminate the worry and the fear from the minds and hearts of our fellow man. I know in my heart who I need to be.

2. To The Grave

Struggling to remain rooted in the depths of positivity, while modern day eats away at the foundation around me. And nothing that I do or say seems to rid me of this cynicism. This isn't how I hoped I'd ever feel, and I will not allow myself to become the advocate for everything that I stand against. And I will not be consumed by pessimism. I will choose to live, rather than "exist." And while the weight of the world pins me down, I know that humanity is something worth fighting for. Even though we must acknowledge our flaws and those of the world around us, we cannot allow them to control what's ours. We control our own destiny, from this day and on and to the grave. I will not turn my back on the problems I will face. I will embrace and overcome, and use them to create a better future. Living day to day is a gift I refuse to squander away. We control our own destiny.

3. Misled

We have become mere filth beneath your feet.
Thrown back and forth from the views we kept close to our hearts.
We've been misled, we've been counted out.
A fleeting high for an empty life that we were told to strive for.
Caught in a prison - paralyzed by impurity.
Taught to be starved - of our surroundings.
Carried by our apparent friends, we surrender morality, to gain vanity, and to find a new home.
We like the think that we're growing up, buried in holes that our hands have made, we believe that the world revolves around us.
I live in toil, I'm looking for something I can't find, I'm searching for solace, I'll keep hunting for something so contrived.

Eyes never felt so pure, I was searching for solace with intentions wrong.
Eyes never felt so pure, I was searching for solace.
My heart never felt so pure, I was searching for love with intentions wrong.
Heart never felt so pure, I was searching for me.

4. In Hopes You Hear

We were in way over our heads, held close to old habits.
Brought down by past regrets and I hope you come to find that it all comes back to you.
I know that you will probably, never hear these words.
Love come undone, for us all, for the hopeful words.
Come undone, for us all and let false hope live on.
And only in my mind has this distance become discovered.
Walking the tightrope in between love and insecurity but I'm torn.
Broken homes for broken souls, in this bed of nails I'll stay.
Love come undone, for us all, for the hopeful words.
Come undone, for us all and let false hope live on.
Let false hope live on.
