CURRENTS LYRICS

1. Never There

I thought of reaching out, we could take this slow
Hesitation turned to habit, never made the call
No branch to break my fall
I'd have so much to tell you, but I

Drink till I can't blink
And I fill my brain with holes
My voice is worse for wear
Because I lost my self control
I've lost my hope

Now I don't want to say I'm scared
Cause I don't want you to think
That this life I slave away for
Is what brings an end to me

But now I'm walking through my life with a clenched up fist
Holding back the tears and feelings that I never spent
I try to find a purpose or a path to set
But I've only found the void and so I

Drink till I can't blink
And I fill my brain with holes
Because the place that I feel safest
It was never there
Never there at all

2. A Flag To Wave

I find myself lost again
In a world that doesn't know my name
This life I've worked for brings no substance to me
Why do I always feel like I'm going insane?
Determined to find my place
I seek the remnants of my fate

Forever loathing
Burdened by defeat
Your will is weak
You see yourself

Walk out on the dream
To live a life of peace
But do you get the life you want
If you never feel free?

I long for something
That I can represent
A flag to wave
To find my foundation
I long for something
To carry to the end
A flag to wave
A flag to wave

Stepping out of form
And into emptiness living a life devoid of passion
I'm here to show the world my face
Taking what you've abandoned
They will never know your name

Always in the dark
But still you hide your face
I just hope you're listening
As you walk out on the dream

Nothing to lose, but nothing left to gain
I hope you get the things you want
While you wish that you were me

I long for something
That I can represent
A flag to wave
To find my foundation
I long for something
To carry to the end
A flag to wave

I'm dying to know
What it's like to be unafraid to drown
I'm dying to know
What it's like to live a life without the fear of being shut down

(Abandoning your post believing every lie
The flag you set down I'll defend with my life)

Sway as the puppets sway
Nothing left to lose, nothing left to gain
So trade a number for your name and drown in misery...

3. Poverty Of Self

The broken suffer
Brought to their knees
The guilty prosper
Consumed by greed
A vicious cycle
Stuck on repeat
The innocent stripped of humanity

You build your walls to keep us in
Imprisoned in our apathy
You live a life of selfishness
While we carry the dead weight

Corruption
Endless division fuelled by fear
Destruction
The end is drawing near

The broken suffer
Brought to their knees
The guilty prosper
Consumed by greed
A vicious cycle
Stuck on repeat
The innocent stripped of humanity

The classes separate
Watching as the guillotine swings

Crippled with no recourse
They begin to take the lead
Ushering an age of dynasties
We are never free

This is Hell
This is Hell
Poverty of self

You build your walls to keep us in
Imprisoned in our apathy
You live a life of selfishness
While we carry the dead weight

Corruption
Endless division fuelled by fear
Destruction
The end is drawing near

Poverty of self

Powered by a blood red greed, you lurk
Searching for a means to spread your meaningless worth

4. Monsters

We're stuck in the same old standstill again
Sick of waiting for you to feel it
Always waiting for the next breakdown to begin
Scared of getting too complicated

What a shame
Hiding in your shell again
Bitter, fucked out of better days
And missed opportunities
I don't wanna hear that the times are changing
I'm the same as I've always been
Why can't you see
Are you even listening to me?

I am not the one to blame for the monsters we've become
Get in or get out
I don't care, but don't waste my time
Stand by my side or you can move on with your life

Burnt out
Enslaved I'm left carry a weight that has me
Worn down
In doubt I'm left to drown with no oxygen
Burnt out
Drain me until there's nothing left to bleed
Burdened by the chains and too exhausted to run away

I gave you everything
You spit it back in my face
It never meant anything
Left me to swallow the pain
So much for the dream

What a shame
Hiding in your shell again
Bitter, fucked out of better days
Missed opportunities
I don't wanna hear that the times are changing
I'm the same as I've always been
Why can't you see
Are you even listening to me?

I am not the one to blame for the monsters we've become
Get in or get out
I don't care, but don't waste my time
Stand by my side or you can move on with your life

You took what you could just to throw me away

I gave you everything
So much for the dream
I gave you everything

5. Kill The Ache

How much more do you think it takes?
They're only here to sell you lies
It's no surprise
'Cause every day I've been waiting for some kind of break
Searching for permanence
A place that I can go
To make me whole

But the shadows keep whispering to me
But the shadows keep whispering to me

I'm always waiting for the tide to crash through me
I tremble with every wave
Make me whole again

If let go
Could I still trust you to
Be better on your own?
If I let you stay, you will ruin everything
You're making me hate a world
So good to me
If I let you stay, you will ruin everything

When even good times are bittersweet
And though at times it seems like a nightmare on repeat
All you have to do is breathe
And know that
This is our home now
You and I will never be alone
When you fall down
Take my hand don't let me go
This is our home now
You and I will never be alone
When you fall down
I am yours to hold

I'm always waiting for the tide to crash through me
I tremble with every wave
Make me whole again

If let go
Could I still trust you to
Be better on your own?
If I let you stay, you will ruin everything
You're making me hate a world
So good to me
If I let you stay, you will ruin everything

The loneliest dreams
Appear in open air
With the sun in my face
The loneliest dreams I have
Appear when I'm awake
With a smile on my face
I live to kill the ache

6. Let Me Leave

Wide awake in clothes I haven't changed
For days and days as the sun creeps through the window on my face
Just let it go
You say I'm like a ghost
My skin is white as paper as I haunt the halls of my home

I scream like it would stop the ache
Your colors start to show
I know what I have to do, but it kills me

Rewriting all the songs
I'd change your name but I know you'll still take everything to heart
Just let it go
I wonder if we'll die with hope
Or if we'll be counting the sins we carry deeply as we go

I just wanted you to have a better life
Not always shying away from your thoughts on the inside
I could set you free

I put you on a shelf knowing that I'd be
Too far to reach you from down in hell
The sun slumps back as I burn your dreams
To the best of my ability so just let me leave

I scream like it would stop the ache
Your colors start to show
I know what I have to do, but it kills me
Sleep; if anything, I'll dream
It's only then I'll have you
I know what I have to do, but it kills me

7. Origin

We stand upon a travesty at the mouth of the gods
Holding our hands out for affirmation
Peering over the edge with our back to the wind
We're screaming out for release into the emptiness

Swept away beneath the undertow
Laid to waste by our mistakes

Conspiring, we blur the line
Between dependence and blind addiction
Permeating everyday monotony
Left to bear a crutch of complacency

I don't fuck with fate
Everything is crashing around me
But I don't feel pain
I've given up

Now we have finally reached the reckoning
So now I wait for the day that we give up our place
Only the void remains
Welcome to eternity

All hope swept out of my hands
There's nothing you can take from me
No future waits
An origin erased

Bottled up and useless broken and insatiable
Cover up our weakness existence unsustainable
Staring down devastation I will welcome the end
If only for the chance to feel again

I curse this Earth for my soul is tired
Burning brighter burning brighter burning brighter on the fire
I curse this Earth for my soul is tired
Burning brighter burning brighter burning brighter on the fire

Now we have finally reached the reckoning
So now I wait for the day that we give up our place
Only the void remains
Welcome to eternity

All hope swept out of my hands
There's nothing you can take from me
No future waits
An origin erased

We're dying in the storm
While our world lays burning
Beneath the embers we choke
We're nothing but a memory
A bed of atrophy
A resting place
And though the rain grows heavy
Our tears will never dull the flames

8. Split

Well I've found in my search for clarity
That nothing I've lost belongs to me
I'll never take the fall or crawl on my knees
For this dread I won't let consume my dreams

Will we ever find the art in the atrophy?
Shame painted on the walls, etched in the stone
Cold face of me dying alone
There is nothing worth the wait
For peace, I'm always counting
Every second I don't break
Do you even care?

I'm split in my head
I'm torn between the things I know
And the ways I cope
I'm sinking again
With the thought you need to grow
But you know you won't

In and out, playing tricks on my shadow self
You said that I can't be a quitter
Spilling lies under the guise of getting better
Yeah, I'm "Getting better," never better balanced

I'm starting to crack images
Nailed to cross and eulogies
For the fallen hope that withers every second I believe
Come to find that some things are exactly as they seem

I'm split in my head
I'm torn between the things I know
And the ways I cope
I'm sinking again
With the thought you need to grow
But you know you won't

It's hard to see compassion through the red
Bitter hate has taken center stage again
But I'm not done fighting with the world I'm in
Are you sick of it yet; all this pity?

9. Second Skin

Second skin
I think I finally feel it setting in
Save me from this living hell
This heart an empty shell
This mind a shallow prison
A menace to my health
In solitude I dwell

Why do we insist
That all hope is fleeting?
How do we reset
When there's nothing left?

A false idol, I've become the hand that feeds
Making a habit of feigning misery
I have lived so many lives that I cannot fucking tell which one is mine anymore
Severing the ties
Lost as I disintegrate

Fade!
Into the deepest depths, to the darkest black
Until there's nothing left

Second skin
I think I finally feel it setting in
Save me from this living hell
The mask on my face
Has finally taken over
Forever stuck this way
Now that I can't give it up

I am torn apart
Burning through my veins
Born in agony
I am torn apart
Beneath the surface
Dying within

Carve me out
The faces blend together
One in the same with no identity
Occupying an empty space
Sentenced to purgatory
Stuck in obscurity
Stuck in obscurity
Beneath the surface
Dying within

Fade!
Into the deepest depths, to the darkest black
Until there's nothing left
Fade!
Into the deepest depths, to the darkest black
Until there's nothing left
There's nothing fucking left!

10. How I Fall Apart

All alone inside my head
All alone inside my head

To escape the thought of loneliness is to resist
There's no point to refuse this
Crawling toward something serious
I'm not trying to push you, I'm just too distant

Is this who you are?
'Cause it's not who I am
You can't make me change
I'm just a shell with no substance

Now I know that I'm all alone
And nobody will come to save me
This is how, how I fall apart
All alone with these nightmares in my head

In time the walls surround me
Decrepit fixtures on the shelf all fade from my memory
Trembling behind the mask
Devoid of anything resembling humanity

Always under pressure I dissolve
Void in my vacancy
Buried underneath it all
In silence I sink

Now I know that I'm all alone
And nobody will come to save me
This is how, how I fall apart
All alone with these nightmares in my head

All alone inside my head
All alone inside my head

I can't give myself to you further
For everything's so meaningless to me
I'll rip out your heart 'cause that's all I'm good for
I can't be your shepherd if I'm lost

Now I know that I'm all alone
And nobody will come to save me
This is how, how I fall apart
All alone with these nightmares in my head
Now I know that I'm all alone
And nobody will come to save me
Now I know that I'm all alone
All alone with these nightmares in my head

11. Better Days

Do you ever want to waste away
Recounting better times?
I'm with you
Is this all we have left to live with?
I only wanna get by
So with that, I don't mind
Getting by
Reliving moments lived till my last breath

Do you get it?
Suffocating, can't breathe but you've got a fucking mouth to feed
Never made the effort to change or go out of our way

You follow your sorrows
For better days we've waited for how long
How long?
You follow your sorrows
We spiral downward endlessly
But is the bottom where we're meant to be?

Is anybody listening?
Can anybody tell me
Why I can't get up?
Why can't I get up?
Down on my knees as the world comes falling down
My fear: chained to the ground
For my will is weak
And my state is bleak

But I'm bound to break free
Pride running through my veins
My chains lay flat around me
My chains lay flat around me

How long
Do we endure the pain?
How long
'Till we accept

You follow your sorrows
For better days we've waited for how long
How long?
You follow your sorrows
We spiral downward endlessly
But is the bottom where we're meant to be?

This isn't where we're meant to be
We spiral endlessly

You follow your sorrows
For better days we've waited for how long
How long?
You follow your sorrows
We spiral downward endlessly
But is the bottom where we're meant to be?
