about

This is a single from our new EP "Parables of the Human Spirit"

lyrics

It all started to make perfect sense when you left me frameless

A picture worth a thousand lies

A memory of my best times

Taken away by vacant minds

New Jersey was a good cry and the moment I realized a disconnect

There was a chance I had to leave and forget

I wanted to give it all back but you didn’t want to believe me

You were Counting currencies in obscenities

It really left me thinking twice about generosity

Undertones of sincerity can’t be mistaken when I’ve been nothing but a hindrance

I must be going crazy because I was never raised to treat someone like you do

Destructing ethos for levity

I buried myself to escape anxiety

When I should have opened up

I kept digging

Are you sitting down

I don’t want you here

You didn’t plant any seeds

Those words haunt me

You didn’t fight for me

Don’t you know you were the only one to scoff at me

Pictures of wedding day never see the light of day

I never meant to burden a soul

Since all I do is take

I’ll give this to you

Take this with you

You need it more than I do

You don’t give and get from the less fortunate unless you leave with what you did

Not a fan of the new album but this Polaris album is just what I love about metalcore. Saw them live in CH last year and on stage they are amazing. If you're new to Polaris (doubt it) start here ! sachavonkarl74
