Chronic 03:34
I never meant to hurt you, I'm the nightmare of your dreams, At first I thought there was a chance, My demons wouldn't speak, Just run away and safe yourself, There's drama in my mind, Those close to me I hurt the most, I need a place to hide. I believe your lies when you're honest, Finding out the truth brings this chronic heartache, (It's killing me, It's killing me) Every word you say breaks your promise, Lying through your teeth, Is your soul worth saving? (Worth Saving). Living with this guilt inside my heart, It's killing me, Deep inside I try to find the key to my release, As long as you still hate me, There's no cure to this disease, Forgiveness from you is not deserved, I'll never rest in peace. I shed my skin in search of comfort, Crawling out to find another, Where's the reason? What's my crime? Your tongue like poison, Bites of lies, I'm half unconscious, paralyzed And all I want is a kiss goodnight, One for the road to keep me going, My eyes roll back, My pulse is slowing. Stand up and forgive yourself. Don't let them get you down, I want to see you smile not frown, I want to see you tall and proud, Stand up now and forgive yourself.

Dear delusions and life's great illusions, Your poison runs deep in my veins like pollution, I'm sick, weak and dying, So thanks for not trying, To make this easier. This is the way you've got me thinking, Not really sure of who I am or where I stand, I cannot swim my ship is sinking, I'll surely drown because I'll never take your hand. I can't hold on, So sick to death of always failing, I hate this life and the love I'm craving, I'm leaving now, Out this town. Fear conclusions, Their truths leave confusion, This jaded addiction, Revenge lacking fusion I'm sick, weak and dying, So thanks for not trying, It's never easier (It's never easier) I can't hold on. (I'm leaving now) This is the way you've got me thinking. Not really sure of who I am or where I stand.

When we first met, We were crazy in love, Now that picture is broken, We've both had enough, Broken glass all around us, From smashed, empty frames, Memories that control us, And fill us with rage. Kicking and screaming, My life has no meaning, Your love has no feeling, My heart isn't beating for you. Why have you stayed with me all of these years? You admit that you hate me, This brings me to tears, I am falling apart, I am not who I was, You were trying to change me, I was never the one that you want (you want). You've left me so low, I am down on my knees, I am begging for mercy, Please cure my disease, I am searching to reasons, To not disappear, I am riddled with anger, Contracted with fear. Don't stay too long in the shadows. You've left me so low, I am down on my knees, I am begging for mercy, Please cure my disease, I am falling apart I am not who I was, You were trying to change me, I was never the one that you want (you want).

Losing Faith 04:27
Savoring the taste of knowing what this feeling takes, To barely be the one who falls in love with you, Falling down around the lies, Your house of cards, Those guilty eyes, Are telling me these days are losing time. Hating just won't cut it anymore, Pretending that I'm happy, Just in case I find a cure, A remedy to slow my falling, A kiss goodnight to ease the calling, Of the reaper telling me to fight. Losing faith, In all my thoughts, Stay up all night, So we can talk about the times, We used to wear a smile, Now we're not alright. Closing time the bell it sounds, Another shot just one more round, The drinks they fall too easy down my throat, Holding on to my regrets, A smoking gun and silhouettes, Your victims lay face down without their grace. Hating just won't cut it anymore, Pretending that I'm happy, Just in case I find a cure, A remedy to slow my falling, A kiss goodnight to ease the calling, Of the reaper asking me to die. If my eyes are closed, How can I see your face? This is why I'm losing faith.

about

"Life's Great Illusions" is a collection of songs about life, and the way it twists and turns and how it manufactures you as an individual. You don't always know where you are going, and when you think you do, your life gets flipped on its head; and it's a strangely beautiful thing. We don't admire "Life's Great Illusions" enough, as we're too busy conforming to world's shitty ideals.

We fell in love with these songs the minute we wrote and recorded them all, and we hope you love them just as much. We've grown a lot as a band over the course of the year; and we've even lost and found a member along the way.

Here is "Life's Great Illusions". It's super cheap, and we really do appreciate any kind of support you can give us. Music is what we live for, and this is just the start. So share it with your friends, family, and that weird old man that lives just down the road, he'll dig it.

Recorded, mixed, and mastered by James Hill @ Steel City Studios.

Thanks to Aaron Juska-Bowes for sharing many a stage with us, and his monumental contributions to our band, we wish him the best of luck with his happy family life!

Thanks, LAYBY.
