about

The final song off of our "Traveller" demo disc! Sold at live shows and, now, online:

"This song was about a very dear friend of mine talking to me in a very dark hour of need. I felt the noise of life and the struggles that came with it were too much for me to decipher and that I would, eventually, be beaten by it. It was only the company of said friend and the process of creating this song that truly kept me going. The song is a back and forth discussion between the friend and I and coming to the conclusion that dark moments are there to overcome and not to succumb to."

For anyone dealing with mental health issues, seek help and help will be received. Hang in there and you WILL make it. The number to TalkLiverpool is below. If you are suffering with mental health issues or know someone that is in the Merseyside area, pass this number to them:

lyrics

Stay awake and try to focus
I know it's hard but listen to me
Stabilise your passion and love
And help us find your inner peace

Your shaking, your frantic
Your losing concentration
Take my hand and I'll lead the way
It's hopeless, it's futile
There's no more communication
Lost amongst the noise in the fray

Paralysing paranoia
Estranged in a sense of bewilderment
A practice lost across the years
So many spent in sole lament

I feel it, I sense it
This break in our relation
It's coming fast now with no hinderance
Now hold on, just hear me
There's no need for isolation
You're running from your sentiment

Don't make sense
Just feel the resonance
And try to help me if you can
Lose your fear
Cast your voice to my ear
You're not an Empire
You're a man

Accept what's to come
Embody the moment
Laugh like a child
And remember
You're alive

Days will come
And nights will go
Time will fly with you and never land
So stand and face it
Like I now you can
Just know I'm here and understand
That it won't make sense
It's just your own defence
Built to vanquish your ignorance
So kill you pride
Because we're at your side
You're not an Empire
You're a man

We'll never hurt you
We only love you
You're not an Empire
You're a man

Accept what's to come
Embody the moment
Laugh like a child
And remember
You're alive
