PULSE
Featuring Marshall Lichtenwaldt of the Warriors (Courtesy of Victory Records)

Check yourself, check your pulse, is it there? / Love yourself, take a stand

Look inside your heart, are you who you want to be? / I've given up on good luck, it's time I believed in me / Nothing will be given, everything will be earned / It's not blind positivity, it's my disgust in humanity

As long as you work they'll try to take / Everything you earned, a life they couldn't make / But I've got a pulse and if I breathe / There's still a fight left in me

Look inside yourself, tell me who you want to be / I left the herd, I lost some friends but I found my identity / Sometimes you gotta cut deadweight and just move on / But it still saddens me to see so much potential gone to waste

It feels like there's a knife cutting through my flesh / My stone heart bleeds with sins to confess / Nevertheless I must admit to this distress / Keep my eyes on the prize as I try to make progress / And they could never take what's mine / They can't own a soul, they can't steal my pride / They can try their best and I guess that's fine / Because they say so much but they can't walk that line

No more running, hiding or folding / No more of just taking the punches and rolling / No more accepting anything less than the truth / No more lies, no more tricks, no more you

This will hurt you more than it hurts me / Hit the bricks you're full of shit / It's time for you to leave

Check yourself

NINE:FIFTEEN

When they swarm around you, they speak in tongues / Turn the water into blood and feast upon the first born sons / When they swarm around you, they'll drown you in your blood

High tide, feel it wash over you / Fill your lungs with their dreadful deceit / Face down, gasp for one breath / Did your best but still you sink

Don't let them sing you to sleep / Not tonight, they'll drag you down / Don't close your eyes / Don't let them sing
