Day One (free) 03:52
lyrics

by Austin Ledyard Well, I worry a lot I beat myself senseless Over one little thing It’s hard to live up to your standards When there’s so much you expect Time has passed and taken me far But now I’m scared I’ll fall subpar again Yeah, again The heart is true and so are you But if it’s never meant then what has it meant to you? But I’m not gonna give up yet No, my time’s not come To be a part, all part of a greater sum Feel the sun shine thin Where the light warms my skin But I feel alone as the cloud comes in

by Austin Ledyard & Brayson Wong It’s in the way we often disagree In the differences between you and me It’s the way it’s in the setting sun You say it’s a good thing, but you’re not the only one Some things are gone but not forgotten The feelings are there but something’s stopping For the last while I’ve come to realize The rollercoaster’s hidden in hazel eyes Your thoughts have taken you away from what you love A passion that you are reminiscent of The faces of people may change Amplify the call of your name The red thread that keeps us apart Each end holds the key to your heart Though it hurt to see you cry You got the cold shoulder now you wonder why Though it’s our way we often disagree (But I’m not gonna give up yet) Just know that I’m there for you and that you’re there for me (But I’m not gonna give up yet) Let’s just hope that it doesn’t end the same (But I’m not gonna give up yet) So we can watch this spark turn to a flame

by Austin Ledyard Walking down the east bank Down by the waterside You were holding my hand With you by my side You said “Daddy, are we not there?” I was wondering how Standing with a straight stare Just where to go now Well I can see you running through your home You are one with nature; it’s all you've ever known So we walked up the big hill It’s easy as you can see To slip down into low points Like this hill so big and green But reaching all the high points Can have its own reward Slip into the top now Grab the golden word Well I can see you running through your home You are one with nature; it’s all you've ever known So we walked to a big stream To see the fish swim Moving with their tail fins Swimming without a whim “Daddy”, you said “I just want to be free!” Don’t worry about it now, my darling Well I can see you running through your home You are one with nature; it’s all you've ever known You can try to run now, who knows where you’ll go You are one with nature; it’s all you've ever known

Stars Fade (free) 04:37
lyrics
download
by Austin Ledyard & Brayson Wong And as you travel down through the fire and the flame Just remember we end up the same Tiny figures buried in the moss Gone but dug down deep with double cross Your six strings may make you speak but take your emotions to the brink The subject of your daily life But in the meantime well you can Follow me and you’ll see Your choices are all made In your eyes, it’s no surprise The stars begin to fade Is it a bad idea to just let you out? I got a bad feeling in my stomach There’s no need to cry, there’s no need to pout I’ll save you out for your lonely days People come and people go, saying yes and saying no The subject of their daily lives Don’t lose hope but in the meantime well you can Follow me and you’ll see Your choices are all made In your eyes it’s no surprise The stars begin to fade

by Brayson Wong And I’ve finally found my grace I have fallen off, off the line Where I’m starting to find my place And I’m falling next to you And I realize That we’re falling in outer space Falling

Barcelona (free) 04:48
lyrics
download
by Austin Ledyard In amongst all your fears Living in your younger years You’ll never get them back You went so far away To the bottom where your mind would stay It only put you down In the beginning, or something else like that Constantly feeling like you’ve been falling flat Take a new path, a journey, become someone new Watch as they all gather around, of course since they don’t have a clue The straps across your back are a burden to you Emotions that you lack are made up in your truth You may try to run my dear, come to trust what you should fear The fight is pointless; you might as well look to the winding road ahead A long road or a difficult one at that The feeling that you’re not coming back Take the 19 to Barcelona, yeah you’re doing fine Well all false hopes will disappear when you come home and face your fear And in the end you’ll fall as love dies all around You haven’t slept in weeks now you can see the sound When you’re losing hope “But I won’t give up” he said I don’t try to remember what I want to forget

We Are the Hunted (free) 05:17
lyrics
download
by Austin Ledyard & Brayson Wong The forest green echoes out yonder Mother Nature gleams, stands next to her father Light trickles down in bright unbroken beams Which calls the angels to climb Saint Jacob’s streams The fox runs down in the green grass As the old willows sing their songs of the past You were wrong but I was right And time went on and we took flight The things we say don’t mean a thing anymore Time moves ahead Thinking about its self instead Never to look back Time has no intentions here As we learn to disagree A distant ringing in my ears And in the end we learn to live and respect their names Trees rustle overhead We are the hunted And we’re running from the noise Within the sounds of the forest The sounds of the forest

about

DIGITAL LYRIC BOOKLET INCLUDED.

We'd like to extend a huge thank you to Jaret Stodola and his family for making this all possible. Jaret worked relentlessly on this album, and was the best engineer/crude pun crafter we could've ever hoped for. We'd also like to thank our pal Luke Tochkin for his tireless work in this band. He has done more than we could have ever asked for, and has been with us every step of the way. Much love to Sam Stouten, Mel Buenaventura, Steve Sainas, and Alex Palmer for their integral contributions to this project.

We definitely can't forget our good friend Chris Sonea! You were a huge help and got us through some tough times as a band. Also a massive thanks to all our friends and families!

Last but definitely not least, we'd like to thank you! We're grateful for each and every one of our fans. Your support is truly appreciated!
