about

Also Re-recorded from our split with Safe Hands, At The Brink is a song about coming to terms with the fact that you can't expect anything to happen or fall into your lap without taking the necessary actions or speaking up/using your voice (hence the last line of the song 'if Silence is Golden I want to be the poorest man alive')

lyrics

You'll 'make it' in this life if you're in the right crowd,
And you can climb any social ladder in any town,
You want to know the reason why I'm always so pissed?
I'm wishing for a world that doesn't even exist,

Always influenced and never inspired,
Can't keep the spark alive when there was never the fire,
It's the same old story just a different year,
Just do what they want and what they want to see,
Just do what they want and what they want to do,
Just do what they want and want to fucking hear.

You'll take for granted what I'll aspire to achieve,
No saviors in sight just a legion of thieves,
Thinking I'm sprinting on a bridge too far?
I'm so sick of the same results with the same formulas,

There's nothing in the water it's all been poisoned,
Carelessly filtered and unfairly exploited,
So destroy your connections, ignore those you know, build up your foundations and do it alone.

Don't realize the impact and what it creates,
We won't pay the price for someone else's mistakes,
Our paths set in stone became some plateau,
Now we're all following in the cast shade of one giant shadow.

If silence is golden I want to be the poorest man alive.
