Die Trying 03:05
“You can't make it,” they said “It's a long shot, a pie in the sky, And you haven't got what it takes.” They said, “You're nothing special, People like you are a dime a dozen. You got a better shot at the lottery.” But are you giving up now? Or are you gonna shout it out? I am not afraid of the dreams I've made I'm not afraid to fall I am not ok with living life this way I am not afraid to die trying They shake their heads and say, “Wasted, “Wasted, wasted. Folly,” they say. “You're throwing your whole life away. You'll work so hard for nothing One of these days it's coming back to bite you. Fold while you're ahead.” But are you giving up now? Or are you gonna shout it out? I am not afraid of the dreams I've made I'm not afraid to fall I am not ok with living life this way I am not afraid to die trying What's your excuse today? Why don't you fly away Are you waiting for a sign Don't you know no one can make you chase your dreams? I am not afraid of the dreams I've made I'm not afraid to fall I am not ok with living life this way I am not afraid to die trying

Curiosity 02:55
I’m not a sentimental person I’m not rainbows and roses I need proof, and I need cold hard facts I’m not a flower child I’m not into love at first sight That’s all too fluffy for me Curiosity compels my heart But my mind keeps asking questions Curiosity compels my heart But my mind keeps wondering I’m not easily persuaded I’m a skeptic, a now-it-all, it’s true I’ve got a stubborn mind You’re full of promises But how long till you let me down You’re just a perfect mirage What if I learn to trust you? What if you’re all you say You are? Curiosity compels my heart But my mind keeps asking questions Curiosity compels my heart But my mind keeps wondering You say la da dee da da But I say na na na na You say la da dee da day But I say no no no no no Curiosity compels my heart But my mind keeps asking questions Curiosity compels my heart But my mind keeps wondering

Whatever happened to happy ever after What happened to wishes on stars The luster of life got lost in the middle ages And I can't seem to get it back In my microwave mindset I want it all in 30 seconds or less I've heard that good things are worth waiting for But how am I to know if it's too long gone I'm only a jar of broken promises Just a pile of faded dreams I'm only 24, but I feel ages older Scared to death that it's too late Why can't I just escape this desperation What tethers my heart to this place Often I've tried to run away and hide But this dream never dies I've heard that good things are worth waiting for But how am I to know if it's too long gone I'm only a jar of broken promises Just a pile of faded dreams I'm only 24, but I feel ages older Scared to death that it's too late Is it too late? Is it too long gone? Is it too long gone? I'm only a jar of broken promises Just a pile of faded dreams I'm only 24, but I feel ages older Scared to death that it's too late I'm only a jar of broken promises Just a pile of faded dreams I'm only 24, but I feel ages older Scared to death that it's too late Whatever happened to happy ever after To wishes on stars

Cry 04:07
I’ve been away so long from you And every day makes it harder to undo The fire burns cold But still I know I need you But every time I see your face I cry I know it’s you I can’t replace and I cry How can I come back home now How could we love just like before The bridge has seen too much water to ignore The damage done The passion gone, but I need you But every time I see your face I cry I know it’s you I can’t replace and I cry How can I come back home now But still I hear you calling Come home now Is it you, is it you I’m hearing Come home now Is it you, it must be you I’m hearing Come home now But every time I see your face I cry I know it’s you I can’t replace and I cry How can I come back home now

Terrified 04:17
You, lurking in the dark You don't scare me I can feel your blackened heart I can hear your scorn You, snarl all you want I'm not shaken Cause I have seen you in the light I know what you are I'm not running from you I'm not afraid of a fight So what you waiting for I'm not giving it up I will defend what is mine Can you draw blood? I'm not terrified I'm not terrified You, come and do your worst Stop your talking I'm not buying all your lies I'm not trembling I have felt the bitter dark Screams of anguish You've got nothing on the terrors I have heard I'm not running from you I'm not afraid of a fight So what you waiting for I'm not giving it up I will defend what is mine Can you draw blood? I'm not terrified I'm not terrified In the dark, in the deepest dark I have stood face to face with myself In the dark, in the audible dark I have heard my own soul scream

You've got some big regrets and want to start again You say you got to find a way to heal You think about how it might have been You're thinking it still could But don't try to run away You can't run away Sometimes you got to live with the choices you've made In your blind state When it's too late Sometimes you got to live with the choices you've made When it's too late To turn around Sometimes you got to stand and take it on the chin Sometimes you got to find a way to deal Doesn't mean it's gonna be pretty Doesn't mean it's gonna feel good But don't try to run away If you run away The innocent lose, If you choose You can't run, You can't hide You can't leave them behind Sometimes you got to live with the choices you've made In your blind state When it's too late Sometimes you got to live with the choices you've made When it's too late To turn around Too much at stake Whole lives would be changed Your path has been laid It's not just about you And what you want to do There's too much to lose Sometimes you got to live with the choices you've made In your blind state When it's too late Sometimes you got to live with the choices you've made When it's too late To turn around

Funny 03:49
Rain drips down my window Jagged lines against the glass Fog and dampness Funny The reassuring weight of your foot on mine Really do miss you Funny Now that you think we're just friends Funny How the tables turn How do I tell you what's inside When I lied for so long Does the look in my eyes give me away Is this love? Is it a little too late? Streaming through my window Pools of sunlight on the floor Warmth and comfort Funny This fleece is all that's left of you It's with me every night Built a shrine of your letters Funny Have to force myself not to write every day Funny How the tables turn How do I tell you what's inside When I lied for so long Does the look in my eyes give me away Is this love? Is it a little too late? These months apart were stupid But you're coming today I couldn't sleep last night These months apart were stupid But you're coming today I couldn't sleep last night How do I tell you what's inside When I lied for so long Does the look in my eyes give me away Is this love? Is it a little too late?

Hey Perfect 02:31
He's got the body of a Greek god He's got a scholar's mind He is the life of the party And when he leans in close, I say Hey, Perfect Quit playing games with my mind It ain't human, this kind of flawless design Hey, Perfect Are you an alien life? If I'm dreaming, don't wake me up He gets the laughs like a stand-up show He drums on everything, everything He's got the skills of a five-star chef And when he leans in close, I say Hey, Perfect Quit playing games with my mind It ain't human, this kind of flawless design Hey, Perfect Are you an alien life? If I'm dreaming, don't wake me up Ok, so he throws his dirty clothes on the floor Alright, so he leaves the toilet seat up So what, so he's zoned into the game When he leans in close, I say Hey, Perfect Quit playing games with my mind It ain't human, this kind of flawless design Hey, Perfect Are you an alien life? If I'm dreaming, don't wake me up

My pride's a boulder on my path Can't get over, under, around it Cannot push it out of my way I've said you need me and just don't know it yet Gawked at faults in others' lives I am hideous to behold I'm fighting with Hercules My faith melts like wax I'm fighting with Hercules My faith melts like wax I see it now that everything In my life revolves around me Cannot change it on my own All the things that I've been through Where you've placed for me a mirror I am hideous, now I see I'm fighting with Hercules My faith melts like wax I'm fighting with Hercules My faith melts like wax Can you change me, crush me, kill me? Can you grind my will to dust? Can you batter, shatter, scatter? Can you find Achilles' heel? I'm fighting with Hercules My faith melts like wax I'm fighting with Hercules My faith melts like wax

Sand blows across sand in a wasted land Scar in the earth, jagged and sharp River remembered, now only dust Heat radiates skyward, as if to say Where is the rain There's got to be rain The rocks are screaming out for water The sun is beating down no answer Where is the rain Waiting on the rain The only hope for life is in the rain Heart broken and bruised, torn limb from limb Thirsty for love, longing for truth Purpose elusive, meaning untold Drained by my desiring, needing to know Where is the rain There's got to be rain The rocks are screaming out for water The sun is beating down no answer Where is the rain Waiting on the rain The only hope for life is in the rain Drought erupts in fire Flames rise up higher All will be lost All will be lost Where is the rain There's got to be rain The rocks are screaming out for water The sun is beating down no answer Where is the rain Waiting on the rain The only hope for life is in the rain

about

As our first full length album was released on Human Trafficking Awareness Day, January 11, 2013, we stand with those working to end this modern-day atrocity. 27 million men, women, and children live in slavery today. We refuse to stand by while other human beings are oppressed in this way!

And so, all the proceeds from the sale of the album will go to Restore, an amazing organization working "to end sex trafficking in New York and restore the well-being and independence of foreign-national survivors." Among other things, they provide safehouses for trafficking victims, helping them recover from the abuse. Their vision says it all: "For every survivor, the promise of a new life. For our nation, the end of modern-day slavery."

Stand with us! Enough is enough!
