A house built without any doors, knocking on walls, unearth the floor
A foundation found upon a fictitious cosmic lore
A past mind of mine has been here before, or so I’m told
Has our entire narrative been automated at the core?
I am walking on a tightrope suspended above my fear and doubt
Lining my reasons up, with another believer casted out
Sinking beneath the space between the truth and what I read
The things I believe, it’s all been written out for me
A celestial draft that’s lacking elegance, a maze lain at my disdain
An ongoing fight to make the best of it, when will this end?
If you’ve been up there all along, oh, if you’re so strong
Why don’t you come down from your tower and just sing your solemn song
Clarify
Buried beneath our lies is a life worth living, a purpose defined
The whole worlds a stage, and the cast will play their parts without a doubt about their lines
Are we supposed to believe that we are just destined to die?
I don’t think that the answers we so desperately search for are found up in the sky
Can you feel a heartbeat in me? Cause lately I’m not sure I believe in destiny
I wonder what would happen if I walked away from the life you chose for me
Centered beneath the sun, I will wake up, clawing out of your reach
I have abandoned the thought of a God that looks down on us with love, and a foolproof plan for each of us
I’m not waiting for a sign to exist, when all I wanted was my own chance to resist
A celestial draft that’s lacking elegance, a maze lain at my disdain
An ongoing fight to make the best of it, when will this end?
If you’ve been up there all along, oh, if you’re so strong
Why don’t you come down from your tower and just sing your solemn song
I put my life in your hands and I was met with the fallacy within
I’m not sure why we have to kill ourselves for the sake of a game we won’t win

Not a fan of the new album but this Polaris album is just what I love about metalcore. Saw them live in CH last year and on stage they are amazing. If you're new to Polaris (doubt it) start here ! sachavonkarl74
Supplementing sasscore insanity with bolstered vocals and pop-punk songcraft, the California band are kicking ass and breaking boundaries. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 21, 2024
