Left with no excuses Excuse me while I try to turn my back on reason I'm going out my mind Bending over backwards to try and make this work Took the chance but lost again We always end up hurt Alive on the inside is what I told myself Alive on the inside but living in hell A slave to ambition Beaten by our pride Some times we should walk away from truths we deny Ties that used to bind us Bound us to the past Memories of better days we always thought would last Alive on the inside is what I told myself Alive on the inside but living in hell Instead we choose to linger on those memories we forged Try to fake a feeling but the feeling can't be forced A slave to ambition Beaten by our pride Some times we should walk away from truths we deny Instead we choose to linger on those memories we forged Try to fake a feeling but the feeling can't be forced

This sense of security is nothing more than apathy We live from nine to five Convinced ourselves we feel alive On a steady diet of tabloids and television So kiss goodbye to happiness and intuition It's a fucking nightmare from which we'll never wake Too afraid to question this Too subdued to raise the stakes The cycle's going on and on Do exactly what you're told Never stop, just move along 'Cause it's fine, it's okay Keep consuming, keep it safe Don't expect anything You're better off that way It's going on and on We've been lied to all along It's the same from day to day We need a better way The cycle's going on and on (we need a better way)

And we still walk for miles, and we don’t walk alone Coz living isn’t living in the bleakest time weve known And yes we ask forgiveness to repent all our sins To cleanse the bitter taste of life; but Why we fighting? Once more into the fray Into the last good fight ill know Live and die on this day. Live and die on this day And we know why were fighting; To live our lives again You cannot take this from us ‘cause I have faith my friend You ask me for forgiveness with each step I take Through the blood of fallen men; Why we fighting? I’ve chosen a path You’d be right to follow too Forget about what’s happened Coz life’s too much to lose

Close Up 02:52
This ain’t theatre get out of the shadows The lights are on so step on up front The lines, you’ll learn as you go along The performance you hope, Will be strong Its time for your close up You have to commit Its time for your close up This my friend ‘is it’ Its time for your close up There’ll be no re-takes Its time for your close up Understand the stakes It doesn’t matter how many watch It doesn’t matter just what they think others involved will bounce off you make sure your performance does stay true Its time for your close up Just one last time, Its time for your close up While the light still shines It’s time for your close up It’s time for your close up grab the mantle This ain’t theatre This is life Open the curtains And step out fucking side Time for your close up!

Born and raised on a diet of Epitaph, Revelation and Fat Wreck the band continue to keep these influences alive and fusing in a harder aggressive edge at times makes for an interesting mix. April 2012 saw the release of debut album 'What's Past Is Prologue'. ... more
