Digital dreams taking the shape of a better life on the other side of the screen
Elevate me, pull my focus from the feed
Blurring the lines between what you think you want and need
it’s not safe for you to breathe in the fantasy
So sever the ties, the matrix cries as I reevaluate the crime
There’s blood on my hands and it must be mine cause there’s no other users in my sight
The world will turn on you
A glitch you can never fix
Can’t calculate the cost of what was lost
Defenses down my whole world is now unsound
Oh, I’m not about to crack the code
If I am alive, I would only try to follow my own light
Otherwise I’m just another broken line
Another lesson taught by those unversed, we always expect the worst Will you fold to the insecurities of getting old?
Did you really think that there’s no reason to dig for gold?
You don’t have to swallow all you’re told
Paint a better picture of yourself, don’t conceal the monster that you’ve become Your existence erased
Born of a web, I’m not acquainted with regret
i’m not sure if I’m alive or dead
Answers have gone unsaid
An unfamiliar face without as much as a name
Another defect in the machine
Another lesson taught by those unversed, we always expect the worst Will you fold to the insecurities of getting old?
Did you really think that there’s no reason to dig for gold?
You don’t have to swallow all you’re told
Cause you’ve been counting off time
and one day you’ll see you could have been living outside
Deconstruct our affinity
Tension bending my mind, am I awake or just online?
Urgency or complacency, a tug of war with reality
My essence is blending in with the bunkered down and the colorless Your existence erased
If I am alive, I would only try to follow my own light
Otherwise I’m just another broken line
Another lesson taught by those unversed, we always expect the worst Will you fold to the insecurities of getting old?
Did you really think you could wake up once your soul’s been sold?
You don’t have to swallow all you’re told, cause you’ve been counting off time
Another lesson taught by those unversed, we always expect the worst
Otherwise, I’m just another broken line, I’m not sure if I’m alive or dead
Did you really think that there’s no reason to dig for gold?
I’m not about to crack the code, not sure if we’ll ever grow old
Sever the ties, the matrix cries
There’s blood on my hands, and I guess that’s fine cause we’ll be alone if we lose this fight

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
