Intro 00:29
2.
Dear Father 01:57
Ive been given the best advice/to struggle to breath, and find a way to survive/cheap and chaste like a useless dog/I recognize the pain as it knocks at my door/Feeling low, feeling heartless/My parents must despise the man I've become/Who are they to ever judge me/Its eye for an eye/until we finally sleep/My father a vindictive man/Disappeared on the day i was born/my mother with a heavy burden/tried to raise three kids on her own/and i wont forget the mark that you made/leaving your wife and child to fend for themselves in a world of judgement/crossed eyes stole every ounce of their pride/when you gave up on a family that you were entrusted/dear father/do you recognize all these things that you've done/these damages they return to me/if i show you maybe in the end you will see/so let me tell you how it feels/when the weight of the world/crushes down on you
3.
Mirrors 02:18
face to face with the realization/that we always walk a path with no determination/no fear of the consequences/just blindly moving across a line of offenses/but our reason to believe/is a subtle aggression we were forced to carry/close to the heart like a pendant/lost and confused til we're dead and buried/face yourself/and to myself/i do solemnly swear/that i will live without regret/no cross to bear/not a sinner/not a liar/just a young heart wading in the water/your tryst actions cant change me/against your words/ill let this flame burn free/i will stand for myself/and let this flame burn free/do whatever i can to be me/face yourself

Interlude 01:06
5.
Idle Hands 02:13
my dedication is hanging at the end of a rope/swinging back and forth above my throat/so i stay comfortable in my bitter ways/only to find that these idle hands give way for a solace smile/never gonna find my way out/unless my neck is slipping through/my dedication is hanging at the end of a rope/completely driven by the weight of my decisions/settled in my sanity/hollow and uncertain that ive figured it out/this world is heavy on my shoulders/we've compromised our values/demoralized our youth/in this social inquisition/ill be the one that carries the noose/we live our lives by the dollar sign/never gonna find my way out/unless my neck is slipping through/this time im gonna let fall/swiftly into my conscience/unlike the stem of a rose/ill be the first to fucking go
6.
i catch a glimpse of my distorted image/in a shattered mirrored surface/the man i see is unfinished/so many things in life to accomplish/and i hold no regret for the things ive done/only correct them in the end/because this is not the way im supposed to live/im already bound by my depression im already bound by chains/i wanna feel the joy i knew when i was younger/forgive myself and forget the shame/these images remind me of my past/reminds of the things i knew wouldnt last/but the years fall through these calloused hands/faster than the sand fall through the glass/if i cant resurface without these chains/i dont wanna come for air at all/because these chains are not mine/ive got no time to lose because my arms are bound/bound by chains/ill never quit/ill never slip/wont forget the love ive learned to give/wont be bound by my depression/ill never be the one thats bound by chains
