Cory Roberts Possibly my second favorite pop-punk band aside from All Time Low. Polished while retaining that garage-punk sound. Favorite track: Shades of Resilience.

Ghosts 04:14
Don't act like you don't see me Sever the ties Keep me in the back of your mind (Keep me in the back of your mind) I know it might be too late Don't leave me now I'll stick around forever Haunting the likes of this town Can you believe what you don't see? I'll walk through this memory These silent screams, these grinding teeth I've seen this and I might believe You swim all around me Through the air and I'm watching you (Why can't you go on seeing that?) Center my thoughts for Something I don't like to think about I'm in between now Can you believe what you don't see? My past is my enemy I've seen this and now I believe

It's all just playback and rewind You'll find yourself slipping between days Days when you felt okay You're only lonely in you're mind Confined to thoughts of regret and dismay But I'm here for you always Please don't question me You won't like what you hear These words consistently swim round my mouth I fear for the worst This broken cadence feels all right A fitting end to fitting right in I'd ignite the world tonight I'm sorry for the way I am You're better than me and my selfish plans Don't let go of my trembling hands Take back the things we love You know it's not enough to fall

Fireworks 04:03
Losing hope, sailing alone across your night sky I'm trying to show you fireworks so I took the back roads to nowhere You said that you'd be there Digesting the warmer air We always gamble with cheap talk Cracks in the sidewalks It's too late to just walk away Losing hope, sailing alone across your night sky I'm trying to show you fireworks so why don't you notice My eyes comprised of everything out of focus The sound of silence setting in If I could get in I'd follow This buzzing my hollow incessant head makes Now you're always on my mind Will you come down? The motives that I found I question but somehow you're all I need (all I need) Lost my faith Made mistakes Kept myself awake Just to see how if felt to be strung out I can say that I'll change that I'll keep you safe Caroline, don't give up on me I'll come around

I'm getting better at walking away 'Cause I know that it'd be the same You're growing roots where you think you should stay But I'm always the one to blame Ill trade these words with you The verse repeats like clockwork in my head Don't let me fall asleep now And oh (and oh) I always, I always Forget to forget you when I'm on the mend through With all (with all) your folding convictions Not following through with nothing to lose Belated goodbyes rehearsed all the time Decorate my abondoned pride I'm only here 'cause I'm not sure which side Of the fence that I should reside Second chances they fade As the night turns to day Diverting valiant plans For my humble escape I'm just so lost in this And oh (and oh) I always, I always forget to forget you

Stars 04:54
What is left to know? You know that I can make it, I can make it. Follow the only light on at home. Stars will take you, stars will take you home. Call me when you reach the east coast. Send my love and regrets to the Atlantic. Follow the only light on at home. Stars will take you, stars will take you... Somethings missing and it doesn’t come so easily, but on the surface the water sways me back to sleep. Goodnight brown eyes. Secrets sink like S.O.S. calls that are not heard, I’ll melt for good if you don’t keep your word. Goodnight brown eyes. Tell me anything other than “I’m so sorry, I’m still only lost at best, looking for the answers in the constellations or just points of reference.” When you find yourself, the sky will sing out loud like whoa-oh-oh Somethings missing and it doesn’t come so easily, but on the surface the water sways me back to sleep. Goodnight brown eyes. Secrets sink like S.O.S. calls that are not heard, I’ll melt for good if you don’t keep your word. Goodnight brown eyes. From rest stops, roof tops I will never let you down. Time slows, hold back, let me write this down. Just make it hurt. Just make it hurt. Tell me anything other than, “I’m so sorry, lets just talk this out.” Tell me anything other than, “I’m so sorry, lets just talk this out and come clean.”

I just can't take that look in your eyes Kill the headlights I can't remember why my conscience Stayed at home tonight I know, I know You wont, You wont Step into the cold until I'm shaking at the bones You never told me You never told me Burn what's worth fighting for To keep my lonely fingers warm I'm losing all I've known I'll carve my heart from stone Become someone you used to know Why can't I let this go? Crashing the same car 'til we both start To give up on the notion That this motion can be stopped I know, I know I am a ghost of everything You thought I was before you felt alone You never told me You never told me it would be this hard Nothing ever changes Bracing myself for this I never thought it'd come to it The end of calm upon the sea The end of calm upon my sea Bracing myself for this I never thought it'd come to it The end of calm upon the sea The end of calm comes over me

We'll burn before we fade forever, forever Shades of resilience together, forever We're chasing seasons as they change Cause this won't feel the same way without you My colors are bleeding through Can we make peace with the mistake of never even trying? Confiding my thoughts now is all I can do All that I can do We'll burn before we fade forever, forever Shades of resilience together, forever Taking on water like we knew this would be the end (Taking on water like we knew) Of everything we loved Break down, shake out all of these feelings That we're only wasting our time here It's harder with each new year You are the things that you believe in So we keep on singing "Be The Young" Can you live with what you've become? What you have become This is so far from done So ask me anything And anything I'll tell you Will serve to misdirect your mouth You've got to think this through

Calling Home 03:43
How'd you know we would fall together? Calling home to tell you that I'm fine And now I go crazy in the winter Waiting for a west coast ocean drive Soon you'll find that this is fleeting So repeating is only time That you'll never get back Something's coming over me We're closer to forever and The world is at my feet It's the way the north sky hit the water How I knew it'd never be the same Now I need, I need you more than ever Just take my pain I feel while I'm away Something's coming over me We're closer to forever and The world is at my feet (So please) So please just hold your tears and let me leave I need your word to breathe Something's coming over me We're closer to forever and The world is at my feet (So please) So please just hold your tears and let me see These California skies surrounding me The ocean air resounding clarity I need a reason to believe
