My dearest, Open your eyes. Gaze upon the ocean, toward the horizon. Past every wave. I know that you're in pain. But we are not drowning. The water will not carry you. We all struggle to stay afloat. But the view of what's above, is much better than what's below. You've ignored my plea. And as you sink into our last goodbye, I say with my final breath, This will not fix you. But I will always love you. and I hope you find whatever it is that you're looking for.

Grace 02:52
Goodbye, my only friend, I wish I'd loved you better. And as the world spins on its axis, I cant seem to find my balance. My everything, haults as you're fading. Our grace, you've let loose. I stay, and quiver like a bow strings pulse. Our grace, you've let loose. But I stay, and I quiver. Everything I gave you, lost, forgotten, jaded. Feeling that im aimless, and I've lost my destination. Starlight slowly paling, time kills all thats breathing. You've ran away without me and I feel an anchor in my heartbeat. My hands are shaking, My will is breaking, and I've lost you. Our grace, you've let loose. But I stay, for our grace, is keeping me a part of you.

Lioness 03:51
Sailing, through a breif existance Nothing's more beautiful Pretend, that we're all invisible I only need to focus on you This all feels, so surreal A beauty found in treachery The lioness has come for me Lost in the wreckage confused, hault your engines You had to leave, I was Forsaken He called me a theif I never wanted anything but your Love I never wanted anything but Love Lioness I never wanted anything Lioness I never wanted anything You Left me heaving Gasping for air You cut my breathing and left me in the wilderness I cant believe you've hunted me just to watch me bleed out and omit my everything And I can feel the foolishness decay thinking back to when i heard you say nothing to when i realized you're leaving me Was desert air what you needed most? I am the fool who has kept you long after your vanishing Lioness

Sound the alarms get ready for war. Sharpen your sword. Fight for your survival. The world has collapsed, and it's your fault mother fucker. Anything that you say, doesn't really matter anymore. you're standing in the quicksand. Keep moving and you'll end up dead. Keep moving and you'll end up dead. Escape, revive the battle field. Go and get some blood on those hands. Come on kid, Go and get some blood on those hands. Aint no silver tongue gonna save you Aint no silver tongue gonna save your ass go and get some blood on those hands. go on Knuckles to the grindstone Fight for your survival You gotta get some blood on your hands Cause I would rather be the jealous man, than to be the one who gave you up. I would rather fight to stand, than to lie down and play dead. But I wonder, if I let myself drown in the dirt, Would you even fucking care? I'm overwhelmed with the thought. I'm overwhlemed with the thought of being filth.

I am the outcast. I am the holdfast. Cause I am the outcast, That's using you to feed. I am the holdfast, the foreign entity. A Desolate, Parasite, has come for me. I wanna pull your heart strings. a form of puppetry. I wanna make your mind think, that you're a part of me. It's taking control of me. So stay. (I lost my way) And watch it all unwravel. Keep me safe, I'll be brave, As I grow Stronger. My life is in shambles. My body is not my own. No one can learn what I have become. (And keep to myself) An unseen life form that challenges the human mind to learn from them. A battle unseen to most of man, becomes alive inside my hand. Everyone considers you a monster. I have come to realize your offer. Humanity's a pointless endeavor. You gave your life for mine. You have shown me strength inside. It's taking control of me. So stay. (I lost my way) And watch it all unwravel. Keep me safe, I'll be brave, As I grow Stronger. My precious life No longer mine I'll wait this out, and keep to myself.

Abandoned 03:25
Take me back to who we once were, before you left me. I can't breathe without you. without you. Life will never be the same, now that I am without you. You were my only. You were my star. You're still burning brightly after all. How can you completely alter, knowing that you left me here, empty. Empty. Im not saying that she'll be my last, But I know that she could have been. You had my heart. you had my soul. I'm empty now, I've let you go. and i'm afraid, cause i'm on my own. I have to accept that you're not coming home. Now you're gone. you've set us free. I must move on. I must believe, that I can love again, without you here. Cause after all, you've abandoned me.

The Artwork direction was stemmed from an idea Landyn had, and was then brought to life by Ross Vanosch, of Eye Heart Creative.
