Separation 00:46

So let me write this down, in a way you’ll understand. For once just open your ears, there’s been a drastic change of plans. This is anger, this is hate, this is frustration. For a lack of words, you can call it dedication. Mark my words, I’ll cover the bruise. I’m not giving up on something that’s always pulled me through. This will be a dangerous move when solutions are so few. I know I’m not the only one, because I’ve heard this sound before. Tear open your throats, they don’t know what they’re in for. There must be some way, some way to stop it. The media’s taken our lives.

We have everything ever needed, we’ve come way too far to turn back this time. Can’t slow down. You’re the one and only thing I have left, the one last shred of sanity. Send in reinforcements, this line isn’t holding anymore. Here comes the cavalry and we’re out to take charge, taking back what is ours. We’ve got something more meaningful than anything we’ve come across our whole lives. Built on trust and confidence, impossible to destroy or devastate all of this. Let’s play for keeps, let’s play for promises. Coat it in silver and don’t look back. I’ve got your back, you’ve got more than you know. We’ve come way too far to start slowing down now. Respect and admiration are the number one and only gun, my main weapon. Confusion is haunting me, but it will never see the brightest light, light of day. We won’t slow down.

Never Forget 03:54
I’ve been getting sick to my stomach, feeling I’ve lost touch with myself. I’ve been having a hard time breathing, not knowing what’s happened to me. What’s happened to me? I wish I could go back to the simple times, lead a simple life when the wolves came out. I’m done waiting for tomorrow, it won’t get me through today. Never lose track of who you are, never forget where you’ve been before. I must admit sometimes I forget where we came from, what we’ve been through. Never lose track of who you are, never forget where you’ve been before. I must admit sometimes I forget how lucky we are to have seen it through. I could learn a lesson or two from the kid I used to be. But would I recognize me? I don’t wanna say I’ve lost the feeling, that’s something that’s here to stay. I know it’s not much but we always make the best of it. Walk around in my old shoes to overcome the rest of it. I know it’s not much but we always make the best of it. Walk around in my old shoes to overcome the worst of it.

Don’t ask me to give into your faith and fiction. I’ll keep holding on to my own conviction. Read outside of the lines, fall away from the lies. Take some time to think, and leave the rest behind. Amazing what you’ll find, buried deep down inside. Fitting in can only go so far. I can’t always be everything you want me to be. We’re all humans so show me some humility. I can’t always be everything you want me to be. I’m at a stage of liminality. I’m onto you, and your counterfeit ways. I can spot a fake from a mile away. Something doesn’t seem right, so I’ve made up my mind. Stray away from your path, and lead my own in time. We’re all American. We all have dreams. That doesn’t mean we should all want the same things.

Tell me something real, I feel like I’ve never really known you. This something I won’t let get to me. Tell me how it feels, to be the one who can’t go on. So keep it together, check your attitude at the door. ‘Cause it’s not needed, no it’s not needed here at all. Just try to catch me, just try to catch up with me. I’ve got this under control, I’m getting out while there’s still time. We’ve got this under control. So forget all about it, forget everything you think you know. Hide behind your words, that’s what you’re best at anyway. You’re the disaster, forget everything you think you know.

about

The Fight Within Toledo, Ohio

The Fight Within is loud, energetic, and gritty. We have a more modern rock and roll sound, but also frequently allude to older, classic punk influences. Loud, melodic guitars and gritty vocals are characteristic to us. The music is intense in sound, but our top priority has always been to have fun. ... more
