Weigh Down 02:10
Weigh down the air in me Pull me down To somewhere far beneath Where I used to be Wait for a day to come When I can lay down And know that everyone I love will be at peace Would they let go of me So easily? And I can push out anyone To get some sleep Never mend a thing That made me weak Just wait around and see Half the man I ever thought that I would be Would that all bring peace? Would they let go of me So easily?

Spread Thin 03:37
Tied tongue on a phone line Stay still and watch the time Tick by in your own mind Locked in, I'll be just fine Spread thin on some hindsight So long, alone feels right Dark days and dull nights Count sheep in daylight Withdraw on my own time Missing those from my past lives Everyone I pushed aside I think they're better off and I get by I want to know Am I only worth letting go? Is there some good left in me I have yet to show? I've yet to know All the things I meant to say Just got lost along the way Will it matter if I can't find any will to set it straight? "You're all alone now" Swaying on an incline Settle down just for the night Born alone and so we die Just dust to dust with lonely lives I want to know Am I only worth letting go? Is there some good left in me I have yet to show? I need to know Is there always a place to go If the night ends on your loneliest of lows? All the things I meant to say Just got lost along the way Would it matter if I can't find any will to set it straight? All the times I ran away I guess I made a few mistakes What's the difference if we all end up alone here anyways? Spend all my time Alone so I Never have to try Let down, rewind All the things I meant to say Just got lost along the way Would it matter if I can't find any will to set it straight? All the times I ran away I guess I made a few mistakes What's the difference if we all End up alone Anyways?

Three Years 03:44
Three years never made me less numb Time took so much The strain I drag around Do you feel something now? Life became the words from my mouth I let them all out What meant to bring me peace Became my everything (I wanna tell you) I miss you still (I need to move on) Pull through someday soon Is this all that I've got? Is it only right when it hurts? If I get better Will it take all of my worth? Is this all that I've got? Is it only right when it hurts? Did I bring this on myself? Is it something I can help? Some days, it feels like someone else Is stuck in my shell So I write down everything Hope it all means something But nothing seems to go as it should In my head, consumed What meant to bring me peace Became my everything (I wanna tell you) I wish it'd go (I need to move on) I know, I know Is this all that I've got? Is it only right when it hurts? If I get better Will it take all of my worth? Is this all that I've got? Is it only right when it hurts? Did I bring this on myself? Is it something I can help? I've got a long way back to what I call my own I'm all that's in my way, but somehow, I can't go Removed from the only peace that I have ever known I'm all that's in my way, but somehow, I can't go I've got a long way back to what I call my own I'm all that's in my way, but somehow, I can't... Is this all that I've got? Is it only right when it hurts? If I get better Will it take all of my worth? Is this all that I've got? Is it only right when it hurts? Did I bring this on myself? Is it something I can help? I did this to myself Is it something I can help?

Spin the room around my head Spill every word until the end I don't like who I've been Truth is, I never really did Reflected all around this place Walls of mirrors show my face The one I watched fade away Fall into empty days Gotta learn to walk away Some things never change Keep watching the clock Watch me as I waste away (Watch me waste away) Fill my mind with emptiness Peace and quiet for a bit I didn't want any of this But I don't know what to fix Will it all just go away? Will this come around again someday? Harbor fear of what can fade Nothing else will stay Gotta learn to walk away Some things never change Keep watching the clock Watch me as I waste away In my mind, there's nothing left to say So I'll be here, I'll stay Shed the weight Hang my head and turn away Some hopes carve a millstone Burn words in the throat Cough up pain It never changed Wait in vain Some give up not to break But still I wait Some hopes carve a millstone Burn words in the throat Cough up pain It never changed Wait in vain Some give up not to break But still I wait Gotta learn to walk away Some things never change Keep watching the clock Watch me as I waste away In my mind, there's nothing left to say So I'll be here, I'll stay Shed the weight Hang my head and turn away Spin the room around my head Spill every word until the end I don't want any of this Truth is, I never did

Water spilled on the floor Filled holes in the walls Left my right fist sore Fear of losing it all Think I'll leave here tomorrow For a place far away Where I can bury my burdens In the bed that I've made Picture perfect plans pressed in the dirt Count up every bridge I left to burn I'll dig a deeper hole now Never let me out Take all that you will You've got it all You've got it all Fell like rain on my head Ran off mixed with salt "Your silence speaks volumes" Said the voice in the hall Think I'll leave here tomorrow Don't know where I'll go Just want to feel wanted Just want to feel whole Picture perfect plans pressed in the dirt Count up every bridge I left to burn I'll dig a deeper hole now Never let me out Take all that you will You've got it all Reflect on every way I made it hurt Dwell on everything that made me burn out Dig a deeper hole now Never let me out Take all that you will You've got it all It's just a memory now Watch as it fades out Get lost in the way I waste every day On things I can't change But I stay You've got it all You've got it all (You've got it all) Get lost in the way I waste every day (You've got it all) On things I can't change But I stay (You've got it all) Dwell on everything that made me burn out You've got it all

Visiting 02:12
Further down into the sea Watching every penny sink When I was younger, I used to dream Now it's black when I fall asleep When I fall asleep When I fall asleep I tried, I tried, I could never reach The things that I'd expect of me I could never fail, find a place to keep But we're all just guests, we're visiting We're visiting We're visiting Visiting Visiting

"Take it all and go on" I've been trying, I haven't got that far Lost myself in a wave of absent thought Did I deserve this? What'd it cost? Think they want something that I'm not Half a mind to go Stay in the valley, time moves slow Think of any ways I'd hurt the ones Who bleed my own blood, time has come And some things can't just be undone I see it now I'd been focused on myself And it wore me down When I pushed you out And I can't change how I'd been But maybe I can fix things If you want to hear me out But if you want, I can let you down I've been trying to feign some comfort Trying to hold appearances that I can keep My guilt subdued without reconciling I see it now I'd been focused on myself And it wore me down When I pushed you out And I can't change how I'd been But maybe I can fix things If you want to hear me out But if you want, I can let you down Would it make a difference now? So I'll be right in the valley Where god has turned and run And everyone I've loved is gone I see it now I'd been focused on myself And it wore me down When I pushed you out And I can't change how I'd been But maybe I can fix things If you want to hear me out But if you want, I can let you down

Sunsets on 30 at 5:00 Coming back to where I'll never find Something here doesn't feel right (I'll drive all night) When your only sure thing is pain Nothing really matters, it fades away Find something to hold 'til the next day (It's all the same) I keep falling into Those same thoughts, that same cycle Keep letting them go Spend every day all alone Is it worth everything you have? (You lock yourself up and turn back) Convince yourself you've got it bad (Do your worst, stay in the past) There's something in the pain you know (Nothing changes if you won't let go) Was it worth everything you've had? I wish I knew, I never have Some days feel just like weeks Call myself the burden, incomplete Anything you need, I can make me (Just don't forget about me) And I know I'm the one pulling all my strings But it doesn't matter, I'm not following Kept trying, but the ends started fraying (Don't forget me) I keep falling into Those same thoughts, that same cycle Keep letting them go Spend every day all alone I'm succumbing to Every instance of pressure Keep wearing me out I wanna know the answers Is it worth everything you have? (You lock yourself up and turn back) Convince yourself you've got it bad (Do your worst, stay in the past) There's something in the pain you know (Nothing changes if you won't let go) Was it worth everything you've had? I wish I knew, I never have I want to know how to make it stop Be myself again, don't need anyone To tell me how I came undone Leave it all behind Is it worth everything you have? (You lock yourself up and turn back) Convince yourself you've got it bad (Do your worst, stay in the past) There's something in the pain you know (Nothing changes if you won't let go) Was it worth everything you've had? I wish I knew, I never have

Spit 03:55
Said what you're not Make sure you're right Silver-spooned little shit Can't buy your way this time Live with the guilt For the rest of your life But don't come around anymore If you know what's right Sleep comes with a settled score Blackening eyes You said you weren't like them Go and dig a hole for your every lie Burn all your friends just to get you right Say you're a saint, claim that they lied Own up to nothing and nothing Nothing you'll find Read through your files Slandering names A pool of your sins Keep washing Keep washing your face Cowards die like cowards live Alone and afraid Just a sight sends a quivered lip Red from the face You pushed out the only ones Who'd dare say your name Turns out you're all of it You never changed Go and dig a hole for your every lie Burn all your friends just to get you right Say you're a saint, claim that they lied Own up to nothing and nothing Nothing you'll find For everyone you hurt And every fucking word You'll get what you deserve Get what you deserve In every lie you spit You drag your name through all that shit Own up to nothing and nothing you'll find (Nothing you'll find) Go and dig a hole for your every lie Burn all your friends just to get you right Say you're a saint, claim that they lied Own up to nothing and nothing you'll find

"Do you hate who you know?" I can make everyone around me go I have made every mistake in every way If I wanted to, I'd never know So I'll sit and think on my own Looking for blame, manifesting disdain For those I'd let be alone In the past, but it always knows It always knows "Chin up, what do you see?" A face from a memory Of times long ago, on top of the world A day when I'd never leave Looking now, there's no new relief Just walls reflecting me Pointing the finger right in the mirror There's nowhere to run from the things I'll never be I'll never be who I want to be So burn me a brighter hell I can go anywhere else There's a place I'm told Broken things grow, I know I wanna go I wanna go Looking now, there's no new relief Just walls reflecting me You hurt the ones you love And some sorries ain't enough Some things you can't patch up It doesn't matter what you want So burn me a brighter hell I can go anywhere else There's a place I'm told Broken things grow, I know I wanna go there I wanna go where there's anything else Far from this burden I placed on myself Locked every door and kept in all my hell I know, I'm sorry that it never helped In every edge on a spine I pressed down Every last instance I had figured out I miss every person I loved and let go I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know So burn me a brighter hell I can go anywhere else

about

Walls of Mirrors was written after this project nearly lost everything. Our agent quit music, our contract with our old label had reached its end, and we lost multiple tours that were in the works leading up to the release of our last EP (2020's Hear Your Voice Again) due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Everything was crashing down and there was this sense that all the hard work we'd put in couldn't pay off. It was debilitating, but the uncertainty of it all led to freedom to make whatever felt the most genuine. The thought of "if we never get to make an LP besides this one, what needs to be said?" was always on our minds. In those loneliest of times, all of a sudden songs were just flowing out. Before we knew it, Walls of Mirrors was born. This record is about loss - not necessarily permanent loss, but strained friendships, failing relationships with those closest to you, and watching your dreams slip away. It's about being in that place, acknowledging it, and admitting that the only thing that's left to do is try again.

Burn me a brighter hell, I can go anywhere else
