about

MUSIC VIDEO Directed by Michael Lessard of The Contortionist: bit.ly/Pure_AV

If you're obsessed with trying to be everything for everyone, it's going to take a mental and physical toll on your mind and body. This song resembles some of the feelings that come with obsessing over art, seeking purpose through others, and losing yourself in the process, constantly worrying and doubting yourself when you need to learn to let things go and ask for help instead of always feeling the need to provide help.

lyrics

Faster than most
Victims of a broken host arise
Unknown unknowns
A sinking feeling to surprise us
(Where is love?)
Conscience born under weight
Becoming of an evil taste

Help me to wake (Up)
Help me find (Please stay with me)
Help me to wake (Up)
And ask for guidance in confidence
How could I leave you here?

Sweating through the night
Overwhelming aches
Will this be an issue or
Will I brave through the pain?

Teardrops at first
Symptoms of a racing mind subside
Thoughts on the run again
(Going nowhere)
I'm sick of terminal surprises

(It comes in waves)
Memories fold in their wake
Because I stayed so low (cause I stayed so low)
(Help me to beat this)
Pressure lifts the more we rise, so I'm

Sweating through the night
Overwhelming aches
Will this be an issue or
Will I brave through the pain
(Help me to wake up)
You say it's alright,
You say it's okay
Would anyone
Listen if I just fell away?

Don't fall away

We can't stop the rain (It comes in waves)
Tears falling unrestrained (Fade out I'm fading to nothing)
This fear I can't face (Fade out I'm fading to nothing)
It finds me all the same (Fade out I'm fading to nothing, to nothing)

We struggle in vain (It comes in waves)
This shallow knowledge brings
No end (no end)
We can't stop the rain oh no
No!

Sweating through the night
Overwhelming aches
Will this be an issue or
Will I feel no pain
I'm saying goodbyes
See you someday
I'll be here

Sweating through the night
Overwhelming aches
Will this be forever or
Will I brave through the pain
Say it's alright
Say it's okay
Will you stay here with me
When I breathe again?

(Woah oh oh oh oh oh)
(Woah oh oh oh oh oh)
(Woah oh oh oh oh oh)
(Woah oh)
(Woah)

Sleep, wake, bend, break
Sleep, wake, bend, break
Break, break, break, break
