It is strange to think how much things have changed
over the course of a year
one moment, you're searching for answers
the next, you're cursing the questions that brought you there
I've said it once and I'll say it again
I have given everything up for this
you've always said that I was running a fools errand
just a low life chasing a teenage pipe dream
Get it through your head
I'm doing this for me
we've got nothing to lose
and everything to gain
nothing to lose

Low Places

I am constantly striving
to fill this void in my life
but my doubts and insecurities
catch me every time
I made a promise long ago
to never lose sight of myself
but that's easier said than done
when everyone wants you to be someone else
I'm not like you (I'm not like you)
I can't accept failure
as a matter of course
so when you see me go just know
I am happy
You will never understand
You will never understand what it means
to take a chance and chase your dreams
(and to think)
and to think you empathized
I just need something to work for
If it's given easily
It's just not worth it to me
no, it's not worth it to me
I just need something to work for
If it's given easily or handed over freely
It's just not worth it to me
no, it's not worth it to me
You will never understand what it means
to take a chance and chase your dreams
I just need something to work for
I just need something to hope for
If it's given easily or handed over freely
It's just not worth it to me

Mind/Matter

Existence is where I take myself
I lie awake at night, knowing that there is something more
It's the lush green fields, where I lay my head at night
colors distorted, along with the purpose
the ever pressing thought consumes my head
little by little, they weave their web
around my being
over my ears
haphazardly through my hair
They advance
without direction
without control
without limitations
with every move I make
I hope to everything that I don't slip
into reality
which I grip so firmly onto
the reality which I so long to be without
and when I release my grip and allow my weight to slip
I am truly free
I realize my potential
I realize what it is I need
I realize what I had been fighting all along
were the reasons I couldn't love home
as I transcend beyond myself
I am truly free
I am truly free

Just let me go
there is nothing here
for me anymore
I've seen too much shit
in all these years
to stand aside
watching life go by
watching life go by
living dreams that aren't my own
This fucking city has got me down
but not out
I refuse to be a victim
of my circumstance
This is not my home
this is a breeding ground
for misery and self doubt
This fucking city has got me down
but not out
I refuse to be a victim
of my circumstance
This is not my home
this is a breeding ground
for misery and self doubt
I hope you understand
that this is what I need
on the road with my friends
with barely any sleep
I hope you understand
that this is what I need
it's not what you want
but I promise it's the way for me
Just let me go

Set In Stone
03:21

Last year I learned to silence regret
for the sake of moving on
and the bitterness only comes to light
when I let my outlook fade
There are just so many thing I've come to question
over these past few years
that make it hard to put my faith in anything
but my own way of thinking
or maybe that's just selfish taking hold
Life goes on
this I know
but still the distance grows
I never knew that holding on
would be just as hard as letting go
Life goes on
That's not to say that I'm ready to run from this
we've only started finding footholds
and all of our efforts will not be in vain
this is the price we pay for not accepting complacency
These words are set in stone
despite my fear
I know that I am not alone

Saving Face
03:48

All my life
I have held these standards on what's right for me
and yet I've found as I've got older
that can mean so many things
believe me, I am not perfect
I'm no closer to the truth
but it is safe to say
there is nothing worse than hiding from who you are
All my life I've held these standards
on what's right for me
and yet I've found as I've got older
that can mean so many things
believe me, I'm not perfect
I'm no closer to the truth
but it is safe to say
that there is nothing worse than hiding from who you are
For the sake of conformity cleverly disguised as security
but there is nothing secure about living your life
if you are constantly competing with the next guy
for a chance at a better life if you can sell your soul at a higher price
If there's one thing that I know
it's that money talks and bullshit walks
so count your gold as you lose control
there's no sense in saving face anymore
I'm leaving with high hopes that I'll figure the rest out, and if I don't
you can say 'I told you so',
but all the money in the world won't save your soul
I'm leaving with high hopes
all the money in the world won't save your soul
It's been a while since you've seen the simple things
and it'll be even longer till you see me again
I see it in your eyes
this is not the life that you want for me
despite your negativity
I'm leaving with high hopes

Act Of Faith
03:40
|

A life defined by attendance
every week the same routine
it takes more than a weekly appearance
you can fool the church
but I see through your lifeless facade
no matter what you do
you can't play God
Cognitive dissonance
Is the name of your game
all in hopes that you can explain
all the fucked up things you do
How many lives will you destroy
before the bottom drops out and you suddenly
find yourself changing again
in an attempt to meet your moral demands
you're faking your integrity
hallelujah means nothing when there is nothing to gain
it would take an act of faith for you to set this straight
but I know you never will
A life defined by attendance
every week the same routine
it takes more than a weekly appearance
you can fool the church
but I see through your lifeless facade
no matter what you do
you can't play God
It would take an act of faith
for you to finally set this straight
I know you never will
I know you never will
You're a lost cause
I wonder how long it will take before you drop

Just hear me out
You weren't the only one who lost someone that day
moving on is not forgetting
just hear me out
you're a ticking time bomb
you wake up angry every day
and take it out on everyone and everything
I understand that you are hurting
but that doesn't give you the right
to cast aside the ones you love
in retreat and sacrifice
so bottoms up and bottle it up
run from the awful truth
tomorrow is another day to feed the demons inside of you
You claim progression
but you're receding in the worst of ways
you're seeking anyone or anything to ease your pain
Yet you continue on
living in yesterday
yet you continue on
But I can see the light from here
so take my hand
I understand that you are hurting
but that doesn't give you the right
to cast aside the ones you love
in retreat and sacrifice
(Matt Honeycutt of Kublai Khan)
Just hear me out
Motherfucker, I've been there
scared, alone, full of fucking rage
turning on my friends, my fucking family
not knowing what the fuck I feel inside
but I try to change, I swear to fucking God
Wisdom doesn't always come with age
and nothing good will come of rage
Nothing good will come of rage

Broken Man
03:21
|
|||
|
I woke up this morning with a heavy heart
it happens all too much
to see a ragged man
and assume him filthy
or worthless
or homeless
behind that broken soul
could be a man with a heart of gold
All he wanted was a textbook childhood
a father who encouraged him
a mother to care for him
grandparents to watch out for him
Unconditional love
To be denied the basic means of survival
in a world separated between haves and have nots
how can you assume this man worthless
when he's won more battles than you have fought
It happens all too much
to see a ragged man
and assume him filthy or worthless
Behind that broken soul
could be a man with a heart of gold
grasping desperately for a chance at acceptance
all he wanted was a textbook childhood
by any means of the definition
a fucking family

Too many times I have been misguided
without knowing what's in front of me
I used to be that lone boy once before
but now I see what's right for me
Conformity is calamity
and I'm constantly struggling with apathy
With the world to change
I'll be the light you see
I can't embrace defeat
my passion will never succumb to inaction
I need to pick myself up
I need to stay on track
While fighting fears that I may drift from this
I'm finding what it is, that will clench my fists
We will act as a light for you
in your darkest times
we will guide you through

Like the previous album, the music's atmosphere is thick, hanging in the air like oppressive humidity, electric guitars busily buzzing away, led by tasteful yet pounding drumwork. And, just like the last album, despite having music that could easily be droning nonsense, the band decided to be a cut above almost every other band by actually having beautiful, captivating melodies from end to end. Almost every song is a winner. If you like Air, you'll like this one. Highly recommended.
