songstrengthsalvation This is easily the best *insert genre-defining label of your choice, e.g., skramz, screamo* I know. My favorite song seems to rotate over time: there is a lot of emotion, expressions of grief, and creative songwriting to dig into. Sometimes words fail me when I try to tell someone about this album.

Brother 04:48
His ghost stands next to me I can see him but I can’t speak As he steps forward and I step back He asks, “What do you miss the most?” I miss my little brother He hasn’t been around for years I miss my little brother The thought brings me to tears My father, he’s calling out Come home Son I thought I raised you right You’re supposed to be the good one You’re supposed to be the good son Your back has been turned for too long We’ve been singing the same old song I’m so good at running away and I’m so bad at staying in place.

When I think back to those days I see a child without a care in the world A child lost in his own imagination A life of joy and happiness These are beautiful times These are the best of times I wish I could tell him Make him appreciate these days Make him appreciate this man Now I know what family means Now it’s too late I can’t turn back the clock To relive the happiness To relive the best of times I’m left dwelling about what we could have shared And I’m sick of the heartbreak It’s not your fault Too young to know what you had If only you knew how important these moments would be to you He won’t be with you forever and you took it for granted All that’s left are the stories I’ve been told I won’t make this mistake twice I know what family means.

Figure Eight 01:50
Our trails are always winding, but they never seem to meet So, I’ll build this road and see you there This heart is made of gold, but it’s stronger than stone You can try to rip it out, but it will keep on beating I’ve seen your rose grow up from the gutters. Stepped on, beaten and torn The false ideals of love that are stuck in your head Open up your eyes You can try to drown me out, but I’ll keep on screaming.

Acceptance 04:35
Every time I close my eyes I’m thinking of the memories we’ve shared I’m hoping to one day see you again Your candles light up the damp sidewalk I would give anything to see you again I'm feeling so surreal I must accept it As these old cuts and gashes begin to heal This scar across my heart will never fade Your body may be six feet deep But your laugh, your smile, still lives on through me helping my heart beat I won’t pretend that this doesn’t hurt me I’ll give this everything It’s just a means to cope As the rain mixes with my tears I won’t repress. I won’t forget your name I won’t regress. I won’t forget your name As my thoughts begin to settle, I don’t need sympathy. I understand that he is with me As the hair on the back of my neck stands up I understand that he is with me As days pass by you’re still right by my side Some things come and go, but I’ll always keep you in my heart.

There is a reason why I stopped keeping a diary I guess corroborating an empty life isn't all it's cracked up to be Broken and in pain No matter the angle it all looks the same I can't speak I can't stop thinking about you I can't seem to find a way to get you out of my head I can't seem to leave you behind Like everything else that we left unsaid You'll be the hardest thing to leave behind And this is my goodbye We were both silent during our last embrace I remember the way your tears felt against my chest
