TEXAS IN JULY LYRICS

1. Broken Soul

I see the anguish in your eyes
Because pain has a reflection
Shatter the glass and piece together
A new story with imperfections
I promise not to judge your worth,
I see no price but I'm finding value
Someone with so much to give
But being free has become taboo
Linger on broken soul
Swallowed up in this hole
Virtues that remain intact,
Refuse to walk down your own path
Another day, another victim takes its toll
Searching for comfort
Where there is none
Who do you answer to?
Who do you answer to?
What do you have to hide?
What do you have to hide?
Stand up for yourself, the torture and suffering
What do you have to hide?
And everyday it haunts you with the flashbacks of the past
And I know these thoughts are just memories you wish you didn't have
There is more to this life than being a shadow
There is more you have yet to be told, so seek the depths of your soul.
Hold on tight, 'till it burns your hands
Hold on tight, try to understand
I promise not to judge your worth,
I see no price but I'm finding value
Someone with so much to give
But being free has become taboo
Linger on broken soul
Swallowed up in this hole
Virtues that remain intact,
Refuse to walk down your own path
Another day, another victim takes its toll
What do you have to hide?
What do you have to hide?

2. Sweetest Poison

Cut me wide open, drain me of all there is to give
Store me away to the barrel to writhe with the sewage
Living with lies, falsehood, and deceptions
I am all of this, but I’ve realized
That my bones were created from this
Forced down my throat, my ears, my eyes

It’s too much, it’s far too much,
Fooled into thinking I was the only one

In my darkest time, I lust for clarity
Split between sights unseen and thoughts in between
I’m letting go, I'm starting over
Breathe it in like the sweetest poison
Like the sweetest poison

I’m letting go, I’m starting over
To clear my name and walk my own path
I’m on my own, and now I’m closer
To finding a way to bring me back

These colors that I see shining the brightest
Were all stained by the hands of the shameless
In one final purge, dispose of your affliction
To mend what’s left and achieve what you envision

Regrowth, regeneration
Developed in negative tension
In the midst of all my hopes held in suspension

As my former husk crumbles to dust
I ready my mind and I reassemble
I trust that bliss won’t arrive without resistance
But I know we are all capable of greatness

In my darkest time, I lust for clarity
Split between sights unseen and thoughts in between
I’m letting go, I’m starting over
Breathe it in like the sweetest poison

Regrowth, regeneration
Developed in negative tension
In the midst of all my hopes held in suspension

I’m letting go, I’m starting over
To clear my name and walk my own path
I’m on my own, and now I’m closer
To finding a way to bring me back

3. Pseudo Self

Rise, rise, high above the skyline
Grant me a steady view of the horizon
Gusts of vitality, I’ve felt them in my time
Unquenchable fates become intertwined

Mountains and oceans create the separation
But we know we are all connected.

Am I a man? Am I a son?
Am I a brother to no one?
My day now at its end, what am I left with?

Forced open so I can take it all in,
Reaping what I sow once again,
And now I see with unobstructed vision
What am I left with?

Rise, rise and drive this stake into the earth,
In attempt to keep your place, there is no use
Uprooted from the ground, an ancient connection
Desecrated by a mortal man

Now before I feel all alone
I must understand my skin and bones
This disguise found only in the true moonlight
It will be destroyed before my eyes

Am I a man? Am I a son?
Am I a brother to no one?
My day now at its end, what am I left with?

My legs become rooted, my muscles grow as foundation for life
As the earth supported me, I will hold this weight, strip myself to the core
And rise.

I will rise.

4. Defenseless

Unblinded eyes gazing over the scene
I can’t stomach what’s happening in front of me
And even if I have to start from the bottom
I’ll crawl back to the gates that I was tossed from

Defenseless

When you’re gasping for air
When you feel like the world left you in solitary
It’s only a matter of time
Before you see what's imaginary

Can you see what’s lying here in front of me?
Where the wrong things lead us, will they defeat us?

If I am strong and recognize these wrongs,
I can learn from the past to see myself through,
To a day and age
Of staring good and evil in the face of truth

This course was presented, adorned with polish
Attractive in every aspect
Paint it red, casted out for good
Clean up the filth, bring us honesty

As giants, we will stand above their lies
We will stand above their lies

Can you see what’s lying here in front of me?
Where the wrong things lead us, will they defeat us?

If I am strong and recognize these wrongs
I can learn from the past to see myself through,
To a day and age
Of staring good and evil in the face

When you’re gasping for air
When you feel like the world left you in solitary
It’s only a matter of time
Before you see what's imaginary

5. The Void

[feat. Levi Benton]

Is this the end? It’s what I’ve asked for

I brought this on myself this time
Kryptonite scars up and down my body
Wishing for hope, for redemption, for mercy
Expecting everything and getting nothing

I REACH OUT for a helping hand, but
ALL I FEEL is the cold, lifeless air
NOW I SEE that there's nothing there
Buried beneath my misery, when I’m dead and gone remember me.

I hold the keys to release my safety
My compass pointed in the right direction
I just wish the map I had an X for the end
Not for the treasure that doesn’t exist

As the sun shines no longer
And the wind stops caressing my shoulder
I reflect on my expired youth
As the rest of me decays with the roots

I reach out with a helping hand, but
All I feel is cold, lifeless air
Now I see there's nothing there
Buried beneath my misery

The seasons change infinitely
As I rot expecting divinity

I REACH OUT for a helping hand, but
ALL I FEEL is the cold lifeless air
NOW I SEE that there's nothing there
Buried beneath my misery, when I'm dead and gone remember me.

6. Inner Demons

Flourishing in my new surroundings
Growing into unfamiliar skin
Finding a glow in a part of me
In places I have never been

Everyday’s a quest for stability
Hoping it’s haven of our own
Everyday’s a quest for stability
Hoping it’s haven of our own

Sometimes we travel far and wide
To seek out our hopes and dreams
And we beg our destructive nature
To please let us be
So I conceal this notion
Clench my fists and grit my teeth
And not let this avalanche of emotion
Take over me

Liberate me

Confusing arrogance with confidence
Tear me in two
Defeated past attempts of permanence
What do I do?

I am the skin in your teeth. I am the look of defeat.
I’m your nightmare unleashed. I am the sword in the sheathe.
I am the lust in sheets. I am the pride underneath.
I am the wrath on repeat. I am the eyes when you cheat.
I am the darkest streets. I am the goal unreached.
I am the waves on the beach that swept you out to sea.
Although I guarantee that I can be freed.
Let go of regret that’s haunting me.

Sometimes we travel far and wide
To seek out our hopes and dreams
And we beg our destructive nature
To please let us be

7. Decamilli

[Instrumental]

8. Nooses

This blister has made a permanent stay
Upon the fingers plagued by a hand
A hand that couldn’t bare to raise up, be seen
And speak like a man

Bury me, let me lay
I’ll be right there when you look away
Bury me, let me lay
Remember me when I’m dead I’m dead

Asphyxiating in water so cold
Frigid straight to the marrow

Pushed down, buried deep inside
Where no light can shine through
To live within weakened thoughts and brittle bones

Bury me, let me lay
I’ll be right there when you look away
Bury me, let me lay
Remember me when I’m dead I’m dead

You start to go under
The waterline feels like a noose

With every step the surface gets closer to your neck
This sovereign baptism is the last thing you’ll have the chance to disrespect

Wicked tongues lick the silver spoon
And the timid become the footpath
While you turn away
Bury me, let me lay
I’ll be right there when you look away
Bury me, let me lay
Punishment waits impatiently

The blind follower requests a closing pardon.
There are no ears to hear this false sermon.
Your faulty judgment displayed so clouded
Remember me when I’m dead I’m dead

9. The Tightrope

Separated from the common man,
Frayed to show you his condition
Hard to sleep when you grind your teeth
Victims of the meek become withered and weak.

Set the stage for them
Living amongst the endless time paradox
A baseline era of a thirsty vendetta
Never gaining back all that is lost

When the buckle breaks
When the safety net fails to save you
Dig in deep, you always held the key
The chaos exposes integrity

No fuel to ignite the spark
When you’re cut off from oxygen
Don’t lose yourself in a dreary groove
How do you expect to improve?
You must be insane

When the buckle breaks
When the safety net fails to save you
Dig in deep, you always held the key
The chaos exposes integrity

Not burning as brightly as past hours nightly
Harmony found it’s way in one hell of a mess
With progress unlikely, and a grip not held as tightly
How can anyone have a fraction of hope in this?

Now places become nameless
Before soul blank spaces
Casting these shadows
On hollow embraces
The trials he faces,
And all of these changes
Time to measure your effort’s worth instead of it wasted.

When the buckle breaks
When the safety net fails to save you
Dig in deep, you always held the key
The chaos exposes integrity

10. Illuminate

Endless in his trek and through these waves of traveled times
He welcomes the mountains that he has climbed
Determined, pushing onward with knuckles hes callused
His mission becomes clear in a moment of balance

Years spent approaching darkness, consciously spiraling
Smothered with radiance, yet only the darkest was comforting

Ascending above the decay, a beacon will illuminate the way

Day and night, I see the dimming light
That once ignited the spark that was in your eyes
I hope it finds you well, I hope it finds you well
We can sit, or we can stand tall
When the chance of growth seems so small
I hope it finds you well, I hope it finds you well

Ambitiously sailing a sinking ship, struggling to catch a breath
Let it go or stay confined as it plummets to the depths
Keep your mind at ease, wherever it may roam
Because even with a tattered sail, a strong wind can take you home

Illuminate the way

Day and night, I see the dimming light
That once ignited the spark that was your eyes
I hope it finds you well, I hope it finds you well
We can sit, or we can stand tall
When a chance of growth seems so small
I hope it finds you well, I hope it finds you well

11. Bloodwork

I held you close, I think I know
Maybe it’s time that I let you go
Did I not show you
That it meant as much to me as it did to you,
I swore I’d see this through

I could write you,
But would you even read it?
Not read the words but take them as truths no gimmicks,
I could write you,
But now I see things different.
It's not the same between you and I.
It's not the same.

Shatter the pieces of your past weakness,
You need to fail faster to allow you to beat this.
What a ritual, what a script to unfold
The story you were told

Fingernails scratching words on the chalkboard,
Gave me chills, hair stood up on my forearm
The white noise was so hard to pick through,
But I was still there to catch you
Pick you up before your short fuse would get you.

You told me that I would see you again,
whether in this life or through a future kin
If I could have only one wish, I would ask to be stronger...stronger.

Stronger

When love finds its way
It finds its way back to you
When love finds its way
It finds its way back to you.

Now I see the picture,
I’ve got this special feeling.
Washes over like a perfect memory, but
I know to control my mind,
Before it turns and controls me

When love finds its way
It finds its way back to you.
When love finds its way
It finds its way back to you.
