charles-dutau Well done guys! I find it interesting how you made the tracks follow each other, alternating constantly between heavy and soft. You definitely showed that you guys are more than just a copy of Linkin Park. Favorite track: Memories.

Collateral 03:47
Control gone The hate that set the pace For so long This war that failed to cease All along I’ve fought to find a peace But you never wrong Never stop your greed Now everything unraveling and bringing us down The ground held by a thread Let it all fall out Set this anger alight Let it all ignite And fuel this burn out ‘Til there’s nothing left inside I will never be another part of you There’s nothing you can say No words that ring more true I gave my life for all your lies And now I’m dead inside The rebel cause The soldier leading the charge Brings the machine down now to grind a halt An idol falls For all to feast their eyes Hiding in demise from their lies and guilt Now everything unraveling and bringing us down The ground shakes from the shock waves Shots and sounds Watch the dust settle Heavy metal, killin’ ‘em all Hit ’em with the hellfire Let ‘em burn in the fall

Reflection 03:43
Forgotten promise Nothing left inside of me A thunder forming Raging oh so silently Under your shadow Lost I couldn’t bear to see And now I know you’ll always be the worst of me Steady adrenaline trickling down Enveloping every element then filling the sound With the bellowing dissonance of a million pounds Buckling under the pressure to the weight of the ground Now it’s on, put it down, breaking part of this plight With the madness of this matter taking over my life All the pain staking mistakes and finical strife Compiled inside of this violent divide of mine And i’m so far gone, evil eyes’ll swell Neither dead nor alive, man I can’t even tell Look in the mirror and shudder just at seeing myself Searching for the exit sign to quick escape this hell As it swells, growing darker and larger than life Taking over every corner, disbarring the light A shadow black where your reflection used to be Now It's all I see when I look into your eyes And I Please, try to believe, to see what it feels When nothing feels like it’s real nor whatever it seems Trying to summon up the courage to just get up and leave But the air’s just getting heavier and harder to breath In this nightmare dream, laying flat on my chest A state of static panic, always feeling manic depressed Erratic and frantic, feeding off the venom and stress I be emphatic ‘bout it but nobody’s giving a shit So I guess it’s, back to the abyss, and amidst in its grips Feeling like there’s nothing left that could save me from this Jitter as I shiver trying to make some sense of this mess Out of breath, feeling lost, hopeless and remiss As it swells, growing darker and larger than life Leaving me so cold, hollow, and broken inside An empty shell where my reflection used to lie Now there’s nothing at all when I look into my eyes And I

Elements 02:13
Without a doubt This time I’m getting out, breaking out This time there won’t be no calm, no forgiving/I Need to pause, collect all my thoughts And in a second I’ll be lost and I’ll be letting out All the anger, the pain, the fire, the rain The bruises, abuse, the blues and bloodstains The wrath, the revenge, the fall, the ascent The scars and the dents that I’ve kept inside/and I Blame it all on them/Never to be In a world set free/Never to see As they lose their faith/With one way To a tragic fate When it turns on you Paralyzed, unable to move Unable to breathe ‘til I see this dispute defused Immobilized until this hunger is removed And I can finally sleep once I’ve given back to you All the anger, the pain, the fire, the rain The deceit, deception, lies and disdain The wrath, the revenge, the fall, the ascent The scars and the dents that you left in me/and I All the anger, the pain, The fire, the rain The guilt and the greed, the never ending games The wrath, the revenge, the fall, the ascent All the times you said you wouldn’t do it again Let me go/Don’t you touch me again Give it up/Don’t you try to pretend Stop it all/That’s it’s all in my head I won’t stop until your mask is broken

Too Late 04:04
Staring out my window collecting my thoughts Reminiscing on the past, finally found what I want A reason to keep on living, a feeling of want Purpose I can believe in, a cause worthy to be fought Ready for what happens on and whatever is next Keep on dealing ‘em damages, never saving my breath Never pay ‘em no mind and never give ‘em an inch Looking back how far we've come with this shit Now it’s too late Nothing left to say And I’m alone and on my way And I can find myself again Back against the wall Now it’s too late Nothing they can say Memories slowly start to fade Now it’s all come crashing down To a grinding halt Now I’m on my way Quick to sift the baggage, quick to spew attacks Quick to repeat/what could they say? Knowing these cowards be wack Said it couldn’t be done said we wouldn’t be shit Ain’t nothing that you can tell me they ain’t already said Fiending, squeezing my pen for every drop I can get Take on all I can fathom man and I’ve been waiting for this Every obstacle possible I’ma crush it to bits But nothing’s ever enough when you want the best [And I can’t find myself again/ Memories slowly start to fade]

Bound 03:00
Resurrect the dark secrets held inside Watching with both eyes open wide See, you can run now but you can’t hide ‘Cus every memory inside will eat you alive And every black thought you tried to project Left you with a fate that you couldn’t accept So every second you evaded came back again Eventually bringing it all to an end Far from where you are I’ll never be You take everything you can and leave nothing to me And I’m alone So far from home I’ll never be what you want And I could never be free So you’re left with no pride and nothing to say You look to the ground and try to turn away Seeing every memory is a step back You try not to take now but you’re set back You can’t sleep, hoping you’ll connect the dots Unlock the secrets held beneath your thoughts Redeem yourself now from eternal curse And when the smoke lifts worse comes to worst

Breathless 03:03
Guess it’s too late to find our way back Too many bruises, scars, too many attacks Too many times we stabbed each other in the back Too many things said that you wouldn’t take back Never willing to crack or show any mercy Doing anything in your power to just hurt me Always making make me feel so worthless Unworthy of your purpose Numb on the surface And I can’t breathe You left me breathless One word that sparks the sky Floating inside my mind There’s one thing left behind You left me breathless I’m drowning in denial Now I know that I just want you by my side And I can hardly erase these thoughts So much pain that never fades, it rages on Any glimmering of hope never stays for long Overshadowed by hurt, couldn’t save this bond And it’s hard to go on living nervously Knowing that the spark’s gone, just a memory Lost sight of what was, now it’s hard to see With this grip on my chest, I can I can hardly breathe

Antidote 03:47
The atmosphere is clear Since last year I’ve been throttling up in full gear Running towards the spotlight as the fans jeer With the sheer danger of falling flat on my face Fuck the race, I double my pace Never look back, attack Proceed to hit ‘em all in the back ’Cus every motherfucker out there is out to get your act And act like all they did was get behind your back But screw those snakes, they’re fake Never make that mistake Don’t ever flake and no matter what stay wide awake ‘Cus I’m at my boiling point now about to bust And if I get bit one more time I’ma self-destruct [Try to play it down but it comes right back up Try to play it down but it keeps coming up] Break me into two [Til I can’t take anymore] Break me into half [’Til I’m lying on the fucking floor] In the beginning I was kidding Never thought I would’ve fought ‘til the bitter and pissed ’em off And I’d do it again if I was given the chance You fucking assholes ain’t done with me I’m coming back Ten times better off than last time I let off So get off my case, this rat race is lost Minus the pain and cost that it’s cost me now I look back at my scars and stand proud as a man Who stands for no bullshit And respect I demand I keep going and going pushing a master plan I see you don’t understand the work I put in So don’t expect to win, bitch Let defeat set in ‘Cus screw those snakes, they're fake Never make that mistake Don’t ever flake and no matter what stay wide awake See right now I'm at boiling point now about to bust And if I get bit one more time I’ma self-destruct Get off Let me let go Let me let go I’ve had it with this I’m done with this So get off Let me let go Let me let go I’ve had it with this I’m sick of this so get off Let me let go Let me let go I’ve had it with this I’m sick of this and I’m done

Horizon 04:37
And I know the way it goes Time flies, the love dies and breaks the mold Realize you’re not alright, I’ll take the fault Apologize, then pretend it never happened, no Going round and round the same vicious circle From one fight to the next, never feeling normal Poking holes in each other’s egos for jokes Throwing a tight rope around each other’s throats And I never meant to say those words Never meant to leave you feeling undeserved Never meant to save face and leave you hurt And so came I to say this, hope I’ll be heard ‘cus I Don’t wanna be the source of your pain Don’t wanna be remembered in vain Don’t wanna fill your brain With old thoughts of misery when it rains Don’t wanna be the source of your pain Don’t wanna be remembered in vain Don’t wanna fill your memories with hate When you think of my name On the horizon I’ll see your face glowing once again On the horizon Have faith and hold my hand ‘til we’re there Must have lost our way somewhere along the path Looking back, never thought it would’ve come to this Certain things said never wash away the grief Holding a grudge that’ll never ever budge it seems Going on from one fight until the next Spewing dirt at each other, never save a breath Pushing away further ‘til there’s nothing left Burned bridges crumbling amidst the ash and mist And I never meant to say those words Never meant to leave you feeling undeserved And if I hurt you I want you to know your worth And so came I to say this, hope I’ll be heard, ‘cus I

Memories 03:18
Trying to submerge me and swerve me under the waves Trying to deter me from earning my right to stay But I’m determined to burn ‘em, I’m rife with rage All the hurt and the pain needs to wash away So many countless days I wasted away Feeling nervous and worthless, they said to me With no purpose except to leave me feeling worse Head hung below my shoulders and feeling cursed Feels like I’m about to burst, give ‘em what they deserve Feed these mother fuckers lead, take no prisoners Full of worry inside when my head just hurts Losing my train of thought, everything’s in reverse And I don’t need no perks to stay on top this verse Nothing but straight carnage, peep the words Taking over your system like a swarm of germs See when it rains it pours, and when it stings it burns Standing on my own My demons calling out Fading echos Waiting for an answer Lost in endless plight Another day departed Fading ashes Waiting for an answer Y’all better sit still, sit quiet and see Who spits this so ill, easy and seamlessly? With sick skill, a sixteen so effortlessly See the rhymes and the lines be the witness of me What this is to me, nah they simply don’t grasp I’m trying to make history, something built to last But I sense jealousy every time they pass Something menacing and sick in the way they laugh Feels like a toxic gas in this atmosphere With these smoke screens things are seldom clear And all the snakes in the grass up inside of here It’s survival of the fittest and jungle warfare Never cease to keep on filling my wounds with salt And have consequently unlocked a beast in moi This urge to purge, scourge and cleanse my soul Might kill me first, but’ll be the end of y’all Standing on the edge Another day departed Remember where it started The memories forgotten

Rivals 02:58
Never been one myself to slack Never been one to ever take no crap Never looked back on mistakes past Forever on track with this rock and rap I got a heart heavy like a rifle strap Let the drums hit you like a heart attack And leave you bitch slapped/needless to say And anybody who don’t like it I just blow ‘em away Let it rain, let it rain Let it rain fire on these cowards Jolts of pain I’ll see you all go down in flames As you bow down to my name, assholes I’m running a train I spit it hot and heavy as usual Let it be known the hate’s mutual Let it sink in for any fools who doubt Fucking forget it if you think we’re down and out And I don’t give a damn what these leeches want Feed ‘em nothing but dust, dirt, sand and salt And kick ’em to the curb Not even worth my words And the next sound they heard was bullets dispersed I can’t take this No, I can’t take this No more, I can’t take this Even if it kills me I’ll make you face this So take it all Every little ounce of hate No control Hope you all suffocate 'Cus there’s no more patience left in me When you put my back up against the wall

Once Again 03:50
And I can’t grasp what happened Rush of the moment Something rogue that grabbed us Gone in a glimpse A rash lapse of madness A sudden rush of blood to the head Swept away underneath the tide I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t see to get out in time Confined to nothing but the pain inside Staring right back into your eyes And I just... Could’ve been something for real Could’ve been something for once Nothing’s ever set in stone Gone with the wind, blowing in the dust And I can’t be your savior Falling further through the cracks Never knowing where to go Ever since you turned your back Restless to the bone And I’m so lost in all this Without a cause I can’t recall my purpose Stuck on the surface with no words to part Who would’ve ever thought that it would’ve come to this? Swept apart right beneath the tide I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t see to get out in time Confined to nothing but the pain inside To feel your hand slipping away from mine And I just... When everything all fades to gray And all the colors wash away I’ ll follow you down into flames On the eve of destruction I’ve forgotten your face And all we had has all gone to waste The memories all fall to pieces
