lyrics

Is the world we live in all that it’s cracked up to be?
I mean beneath the surface we all have our faults
Just know that you’ll need something sturdy to hold onto
Or you’ll go flying when hard times bring your world crashing to a halt

I think that I’m well grounded but I also see
A lot of empty space where friends of mine once stood
I know it it isn’t a conspiracy against me
It’s just the ground is always shifting underfoot

Whether death or distance comes between
You know exactly what I mean
There comes a time when everybody leaves
And how am I supposed to know
Just who to chase and not let go?
My mind is racing but my feet just move too slow

My confidence gets shaky every time I see
That growing empty space where friends of mine once stood
I know it it isn’t a conspiracy against me
It’s just the ground is always shifting underfoot

Whether death or distance comes between
You know exactly what I mean
There comes a time when everybody leaves
And how am I supposed to know
Who to chase and not let go?
My mind is racing but my feet just move too slow
Oh they move too slow

'Cause I’m broken like the rocks beneath my feet
But the same is true for everyone I meet
The shifting plates
Will carry us wherever they may choose
But still
The earth could never move me like you do

'Cause you shape the edges of my life
In all the spots where we collide
Until stronger forces send us different ways
And we might have years or months or days
But I know nothing gold can stay
So I hope you hold me close until it’s time to go

Oh, don't go
Don't

Yeah I’m broken like the rocks beneath my feet
But the same is true for everyone I meet
The shifting plates
Will carry us wherever they may choose
But still
The earth could never move me like you do

'Cause you shape the edges of my life
In all the spots where we collide
Until stronger forces send us different ways
And one day you’ll leave me here alone
But I guess nothing’s set in stone
So I hope you hold me close until it’s time to go

Drawing inspiration from mid-2000s emo/pop punk and a few decades' worth of video games, the band specializes in upbeat tunes, with prominent melodies, distinct guitars, and emotionally-charged lyrics.

The band debuted with the Glowing in the Dark EP in November 2014, and recently released The Better Friends EP in early 2016. ... more
