Crimson 03:15
Red like the blood seeping down from her wrist as she screams out for help before she ends this Thorns are surrounding her hollow heart as she's beaten and tortured and torn apart Her petals are falling Her leaves are dead She self-destructed for so long to kill there's nothing left There’s a light in this tunnel somewhere at the end and I know I can show her but she's blindfolded It's hard to see the light when you were born in the dark Maybe not too easy to see Oh-oh it's easier for me, to show you than explain The end to the pain burn all the pages She smells so good It's a shame she hates herself she's more beautiful than anyone else The lies just won't stop The scars they won't either So cut her down more She'll cut even deeper It's hard to see the light when you were born in the dark Maybe not too easy to see Oh-oh it's easier for me, to show you than explain The end to the pain burn all the pages Roses are red Veins are blue While I lie here dying I am thinking of you As my arm turns crimson and my world goes black I fall asleep and dream of never coming back Thorns are surrounding her hollow heart As she's beaten and tortured And torn apart The lies just won't stop The scars won't either So cut her down more She'll cut even deeper It's hard to see the light when you were born in the dark Maybe not too easy to see Oh-oh it's easier for me, to show you than explain The end to the pain burn all the pages Burn, burn, burn all the pages Burn, burn, burn all the pages

Demons 04:12
Collateral damage Is my last few years Killing the innocent.. Something is crawling From inside of me And I might just let it win Setting myself up For failure Watching as it works Waging war on my own skin Engaging self-destruct I can't hide my demons anymore (I'm praying) Never knowing what I'm fighting for (Still waiting) I can't find the words to stay, Or the strength to walk away, I can't face my own life as my Demons haunt me My archetype has been defined So many times by me The irony in what I am A paradox it seems I am sick of being sick Inside of my own head I hate who I am And I hate who I'm becoming I can't hide my demons anymore (I'm praying) Never knowing what I'm fighting for (Still waiting) I can't find the words to stay, Or the strength to walk away, I can't face my own life as my Demons haunt me I hate who I am And I hate who I'm becoming I can't hide my demons anymore Never knowing what I'm fighting for I can't find the words to stay, Or the strength to walk away, I can't face my own life as my Demons haunt me I can't hide my demons anymore (I'm praying) Never knowing what I'm fighting for (Still waiting) I can't find the words to stay, Or the strength to walk away, I can't face my own life as my Demons haunt me

Mirage 03:44
It's like walking on glass With no realization There's blood on my feet But I can't feel a thing I breathe in the numbness Accept my own weakness As if that's not enough, I can't help my mind Dance with me, Step this way and lose the night with me, As if this weren't a dream! Dance with me! Just this one last time, Before we open our eyes, Make it seem like this isn't a dream. I can't forgive you even though I've tried. It keeps me up at night. I don't feel, Empathize, Hate is all I have left. I don't feel, Empathize, Pain is all I have left. Dance with me, Step this way and lose the night with me, As if this weren't a dream! Dance with me! Just this one last time, Before we open our eyes, Make it seem like this isn't a dream. How hard it must be to live with yourself How hard it must be to live by yourself Dance with me, Step this way and lose the night with me, As if this weren't a dream! Dance with me! Just this one last time, Before we open our eyes, Make it seem like this isn't a dream.

Hollow 03:34
I see the anger swelling up in you It shows the true colors of you And as your smile fades away All I can see is rage You let your pain control you Control your every move Will I make it out of here knowing who I am? Or will I disappear? I have so much to fear Inside this hollow home How am I to grow When you're an imbecile All you see is angst You don't see me for me Looking down on me Must be so easy For someone so self-righteous But you're a fake to me Will I make it out of here knowing who I am? Or will I disappear? I have so much to fear Inside this hollow home Am I destined to Sail into the dark? Will I go alone Or will I find Someone on the way? Am I destined to Walk through life alone Will I ever escape this empty home This hollow home Will I make it out of here knowing who I am? Or will I disappear? I have so much to fear Inside this hollow home Am I destined to Sail into the dark? Will I go alone Or will I find Someone on the way? Am I destined to Walk through life alone Will I ever escape this empty home This hollow home

Unstable 03:53
Never seemed to be what anybody Claimed to need Never didn't go against the grain Devil's advocate And now I'm dying over it And there's no way that you will keep me from revenge Take me away There is nothing you can do Run and hide I will find you I am here to show you your end Because your end is where I begin Take me to the end of times And I will laugh hysterically I dream to see the world go up in flames Blood is what I seek Until I find it I won't cease And you can all thank yourselves For the man I am today Take me away There is nothing you can do Run and hide I will find you I am here to show you your end Because your end is where I begin In the end, you can't trust a thing they say Or believe in anything But you can trust and believe That I will bring you pain There is nothing you can do Run and hide I will find you I am here to show you your end Because your end is where I begin

about

This EP pays homage to my childhood and teenagehood a lot, and the heavy guitars and screaming vocals make it worthwhile. William O'Brien did all the screaming, I (Benjamin) did all the guitars and clean vocals, and Charles Tobias wrote the compositions for Demons and Hollow. This took a lot of work and means a lot to me, and I want to give it away for free! Thank you to anyone who listens.

All the music I produce is on here! I play all the guitar, bass, and do all the singing (the screaming on my EP was William O'Brien), and make the artwork cause it's fun. Thanks for being here!

I play bass for Orchards, as well
