Exiles 03:41
A homeland in an alien world Divided loyalties, divided sympathies Of two minds, of none To always walk on another's soil So he walks He was a sane man With nowhere to go So it falls on him To never slow A breeze stirs on the street Pushing debris Its void feels so familiar To none more than me We are exiles on the city streets We are exiles on the city streets We are exiles on the city streets We are exiles on the city streets We are exiles on the city streets We are exiles on the city streets We are exiles on the city streets We are exiles on the city streets

My quiet steps would take me down an empty street I'm just another stranger And any destination was irrelevant I didn't need a thing Reflecting images so close to the edge In all directions But I see no truth in passing interludes I didn't need it, need it, need it, need a thing I didn't mean to say that I would feel the same Like all the others I want to stay alive before they realize I didn't need a thing It doesn't matter where you burned down your cares Or where you're heading I've kept no company with any memory I didn't need it, need it, need it, need a thing All I ever wanted Was to leave it all behind And our very misfortunes Have turned us against each other in kind And this is happening to me And it wears out the mirage Like a dream in the wind I'm a dead little pig I realize I'm the warhead alive If you don't take it from me I can never be free again

Censure 05:04
This pale light softly shows that nothing Disturbs the stillness I have no intent on closing my eyes to rest When sleep is blindness What's done is done, and so the hours pass Without forgiveness Say what they will, it doesn't mean a thing at all My adultery is endless Falling And I don't carry fear My mistakes are mine and mine alone My many flaws are real Though I'm proud, and I know it has shown The road's paved with a liar's script And broken vows we continually flaunt Now I don't feel a thing Nor care for what you want And I laugh bitterly How it seems that some lovers ask too much As I watch you wrap your hopes Over something you couldn't once touch All that's left is to turn away From a censure I couldn't ever heed Now I don't feel a thing Nor care for what you need And if I did stay This would only end badly I'd rather live my own life And be finally free

A strange voice echoes down the hall A weary rasp that nakedly begins the trial But some words are better left unsaid (I will not hide) In deliberate twists of communion and denial Too much in the way (I want to see it through) To ever cleanse the past (But my resolve is fading) There's too much in the way (I want to see it through) To ever start again (But my resolve is fading) There's one thing that hasn't failed me yet And it's become the purest prison known As days pass like minutes, and minutes like years (I will not hide) I've come to recognize that strange voice as my own Too much in the way (I want to see it through) To ever cleanse the past (But my resolve is fading) There's too much in the way (I want to see it through) To ever start again (But my resolve is fading) I know it seems that the world doesn't make any sense That it still feels diseased Deteriorating all circumstances Warped by the fractured lights But nonetheless, my bitterness calls forth The ghosts of all I have done I never said I'd never become That one sinner reading his own rites You say it's grown quiet But for me, it can't

Partisan 04:05
Come with me We'll march in line Into a war of our own I want to feel that there's something more than... I want to know that you're not asleep I want convictions you can see it for a warm new day Can you believe it Can you believe it Would you even know Would you even.... Left with fear It grows inside And makes you less than whole An empty voice is all I hear now Spilling words from another's mouth Without knowing they were never yours There is no doubt Can you believe it Can you believe it Would you even know Would you even.... Come with me We'll march in line Into a war of our own I want to feel that there's something more than... I want to know that you're not asleep I want convictions you can see it for a warm new day Can you believe it Can you believe it Would you even know Would you even....

Insurrection 04:57
I know just why This lack of sleep is waiting for me The hours crawl Held captive by my unwilling sympathy And though she stirs I dare not ask to forgive my past mistakes Of all my crimes The worst is pretending I'll be here when she wakes I'll leave behind All the scenes and the trials I fear have swept us away I'll leave behind, I'll leave behind Your fading shades of gray Throughout the years I've watched us drift Too far apart to make amends No strength is left To try anymore All this failure and resentment needs to end I'll leave behind All the scenes and the trials I fear have swept us away I'll leave behind, I'll leave behind Your fading shades of gray I'll leave behind All the scenes and the trials I fear have swept us away I'll leave behind, I'll leave behind Your fading shades of gray I'll leave behind, I'll leave behind Your fading shades of gray I'll leave behind, I'll leave behind Your failing schemes to stay It's just the way I feel It's just the way I feel It's just the way I feel It's just the way I feel

about

"Principles..." is a cinematic, dark look at modern day life and all its personal trials and tribulations. The band, and certainly this album, are inspired in large part by modern film noir and philosophic/dramatic literature. This full-length debut is a work in progress and thus not yet complete. Included are the finished tracks, but more will be added as soon as they are finalized and ready. The official release date is TBA.
