Signs 03:29
Show me a sign And pull the curtain blind over my eyes All that we’ve gained was it a mistake to try How could it be a mystery All that we’ve gained was it a mistake for me to try If only a break in time could find A moment of truth An obvious ruse That I'll survive Believe it's not your fault But I'll make you believe This isn't what I want Oh you've done this to me And I'll run Tear off my skin to bear my scars Don't shut me out Was it me? Obviously, it’s not like I am so far from here Is this what I am? All that we've gained was it a mistake for me to try A moment of truth An obvious ruse That I'll survive Never mind This wasn't right Believe it's not your fault But I'll make you believe This isn't what I want Well you've done this to me

Come Clean 03:28
Well I never feel relieved No shame or regret, so I confide Impatient in stride Disclaim a selfish pride To suffer the gain And break apart the wheel So why go, can I come clean I aim to please I aim to please What’s happening to me I live a lifeless lie What’s left is in the rind Savor state of mind Cant live this lifeless lie So why go, can I come clean And break apart the wheel So why go, can I come clean I aim to please Can I give in Can I pretend Can I give in, if I can’t see Can I give in Can I pretend Can I give in, if I can’t sleep So why go, if I can’t see I aim to please So why go, if I can’t sleep I aim to please

Don't ask if I decide to leave again I've created a fictional stead Well who could imagine so A pseudo picture perfect world Set your sights on my beautiful life Cause we're just wasting time A beautiful life And we're just wasting time A beautiful life Where nothing is perfect Nothing is perfect I tend to find myself, locked into vain realities Comparing fallacies, and I can't even get to bed Pretentious or right Pretentious or lie Don't ask why I promise this won't be the last time I come around Pretentious or right Pretentious or lie Don't ask why But I'll stay silent In a perfect world So set your sights on my beautiful lie Cause we're just wasting time A beautiful lie And I'm just wasting time A beautiful life Where nothing is perfect

Questions 03:12
Don’t lie to me I’ve been here before Honesty fairs well I’ve been down and beaten up again Carry on All that remains was built to fall Questions that still remain Will I feel sorry? Will I be happy? All the answers question me All the answers, question? Safe from something that I couldn’t keep All the answers question me This can’t be all that I have left inside I feel the pressure unfold Push through the fog to wade the by and by A story never untold What is right All the answers question me All the answers question me Safe from something that I couldn’t be All the answers question me

All The Same 04:05
Take a breath, be still and contrite And if you’d like, I will write another line If I could find a way to make it on my own Should I regress, or fear progress Take a breath, it’s all in your mind Another night I ly awake till morning rise If I could find a way to leave it all behind Would I progress, but I digress Cause I am helpless I know it’s all the same to you Cause I am helpless Whichever way goes Take a step, an honest reply And if you’d like, take the time to coincide Keep in mind the space between will divide And if you’d like, take the time to justify I know it’s all the same to you Whichever way goes Cause I am helpless I know it’s all the same to you Cause I am helpless Whichever way goes

about

As Always Asbury Park, New Jersey

Hailing from all corners of New Jersey, As Always is genre-blurring force to be reckoned with. This powerhouse emerged from the ashes after a long hiatus. Imagine the intricate melodies of Circa Survive, the experimental genius of Radiohead, the haunting beauty of Sleep Token, and the raw intensity of Thrice, all seamlessly woven together into a kaleidoscopic tapestry of sound. ... more
