How long will you keep us feeling so deprived How long will you keep us trapped in a dead end life So tired of waiting I have been here for way too long I cannot help but feeling that you are leading me on How long will you keep us feeling so deprived How long will you keep us trapped in a dead end life Time passes nothing changes I am still waiting on the day We are no longer strangers that you are leading astray I can’t go back / don’t want to I can’t I can’t go back / live in fear I can’t go back / wondering I can’t I can’t go back / is the end near How long will you keep us feeling so deprived How long will you keep us trapped in a dead end life You don’t seem to understand that my despair is desperate You don’t seem to understand, how long will you keep us How long will you keep us in a dead end life You don’t seem to understand my despair is desperate

I feel lost and I feel so confused With a love that I seem to lose Lay your hand on my head while you’re speaking in tongues Don’t let the sickness spread God will call it wrong You made me believe I had to find a cure And set myself free to mend a soul that's torn Let your spirit be reborn I feel lost and I feel so confused With a love that I seem to lose Lay your hand on my head while you’re speaking in tongues Don’t let the sickness spread, God will call it wrong I feel so estranged stop messing with my mind I don’t need to change I’m of a different kind Your faith has made you blind We will fight and never lose Go ahead and cut me loose I will love whom I choose

Elephant 02:58
I’m the odd one nobody talks to You’ll lose your dignity Try to hold on to your opinion When they all disagree Oh just act like I’m not here Oh please disappear Hey don’t walk away You better listen to what I say But these words cut like knives Creating tension is my intention Can’t hold back anymore This situation leads to discomfort What are you hiding for Oh can’t act like I’m not here Oh now face your fear Hey don’t walk away You better listen to what I say But these words cut like knives Elephant in the room Hey don’t walk away You better listen to what I say But these words cut like knives Creating tension is my intention Can’t hold back anymore

We all go the same direction you need to stay close To increase your protection I want you to know Don’t stray from the path and you’ll turn out fine You will only fall behind if you don’t fall in line Yeah Whatever they say nothing is written in stone You have to find your own way from now on Whatever they say nothing is written in stone You have to find your own way nothing is written in stone Never felt a deep connection we are keeping strife Don’t need to have protection down the dark of life Your teachings won’t teach me a thing This is why the caged bird beats his own wing Go your own way Like a crow left of the murder fly away Whatever they say nothing is written in stone You have to find your own way from now on Whatever they say nothing is written in stone You have to find your own way Go your own way

Black Masks 02:54
I’m on my way seeking for opportunities Traveling over land traveling over sea Hiding behind behind black masks You just took away everything I had Smashed my face in smashed my body All that’s left are my shattered hopes and dreams You keep pushing pushing me back You keep pushing pushing me back To where I came from Stripped me down and beaten Good luck finding your way back You keep pushing pushing me back To where I came from Stripped me down and beaten Whatever happened to my right to live

You know you’re dead wrong Too bad you’re dead wrong So much for being headstrong You know you are dead wrong Pretend like you know it all Who are you fooling I hope you take the fall A little learning is a dangerous thing You know you’re dead wrong Too bad you’re dead wrong So much for being headstrong You know you are dead wrong Never throw caution to the wind You know you’re dead wrong Too bad you’re dead wrong So much for being headstrong You know you are dead wrong Never throw caution to the wind

This awkward silence has been slow but surely killing me You lost connection with your reality This awkward silence has been slow but surely killing me Love and affection becomes a fantasy My arm is twitching why can’t you keep your hand from shaking It’s only a matter of time before you realize This awkward silence has been slow but surely killing me You lost connection with your reality This awkward silence has been slow but surely killing me Love and affection becomes a fantasy You’re losing control this way of life will steal your soul This silence I cannot endure we don’t talk anymore We don’t talk anymore everything is digital This awkward silence has been slow but surely killing me You lost connection with your reality This awkward silence has been slow but surely killing me Love and affection becomes a fantasy

Trophy Heads 02:49
The way you look at me chills me to the bone And I am too afraid to hold my own You say you show me appreciation All that I’m good for is decoration Gone You just love to see me fall Another head upon your wall Soon we are all gone Only care about the haul Another head upon you wall Soon we are all gone You say you care I know you’re lying The way you use me to gain high esteem Shows that your cold heart still reigns supreme You shed your tears but still act like God Fake tears don’t bother me kill the facade Gone You just love to see me fall Another head upon your wall Soon we are all gone Only care about the haul Another head upon you wall Soon we are all gone You say you care I know you’re lying The price we pay We are all dying

Everytime I try to escape you drag me back in Everything turns black inside and I am a mess Keep on running away a storm is raging It’s closing in on me the light is fading Little by little you are surrounding everything I can’t breathe I’m suffocating Everytime I try to escape you drag me back in Everything turns black inside and I am a mess Keep on running I am so tired of this ongoing battle Better to wait for my temper to settle The darkness around me is hard to handle Show no fear ignore the devil Ignore the devil Everytime I try to escape you drag me back in Everything turns black inside and I am a mess

Another day wasting away Pondering my reality Sound the alarm (speak up) Sound the alarm (speak up) To keep us from harm (speak up) Sound the alarm I have always looked up to you Idolizing all that you do But you think you are so incredible While living high upon your pedestal Sound the alarm (speak up) Sound the alarm (speak up) To keep us from harm (speak up) Sound the alarm No right to take advantage Act like nothing happened It’s time for scrutiny Behind apologies Still you think you are so incredible The time has come for false idols to fall Sound the alarm (speak up) Sound the alarm (speak up) To keep us from harm (speak up) Sound the alarm

about

I CHOOSE LOVE is full of catchy, melodic, raw, punk and rock tracks with
a touch of emo. Ranging from more punk tracks to slower rock tracks all
brought with the same punch, appealing to a wide range of rock music fans.
The songs on this album are a reflection on the current and past state of
society. But it also contains more personal tracks addressing anxiety,
depression and choosing your own path. The band saw a common theme
throughout the songs and that was LOVE. You can lose yourself in all the
negativity and your own (negative) thoughts but I CHOOSE LOVE.
