Running On Empty

I couldn't see the red flags
Hiding underneath the lies
Your demons caught me by surprise
The way you change your mind
I can't get it right
I just need a little something
You always run and hide
From the truth inside
It's leaving me wondering
And when you said that you were worried
That I was doing things behind your back
It was a cry for my attention
I'm tired of running around
I need a second to catch my breath
Because I'm running on empty
Don't let me feed your addiction
If you never listen
I know that you'll never change
Now my eyes are opening
I'm looking at you differently
And what you took away from me
I know you said that you miss me
(I gotta catch my breath)
I don't need your misery
I know that you'll never change
I need a second to catch my breath
Because I'm running on empty
Don't let me feed your addiction
If you never listen
I know that you'll never change
And I know, oh I know
It's not what you're used to
Don't let me feed your addiction
If you never listen
I know that you'll never change
I put my life on the line
Threw it away just to keep you alight
I'm wasting away and you're burning out
I'm running on empty
I need a second to catch my breath
Because I'm running on empty
Don't let me feed your addiction
If you never listen
I know that you'll never change
And I know, oh I know
It's not what you're used to
Don't let me feed your addiction
If you never listen
I know that you'll never change

Stumbling home
You’re not thinking clearly
You've turned every stone
But your mind is still empty
Tell another lie so you can ease the pain
Living under clouds so you can feel the rain
No
I don’t wanna watch you fade away
I don’t wanna see you make the same mistakes
No
Just tell me everything you wanna hear
'Cause I’m not giving up on you, no
Heavy eyes from a sleepless night
Dim the sun because it burns so bright
Leaping past all the mess in your head
To fall face first onto a tainted bed
Obsessing over things you can't change
Living each day like it's one in the same
You're in a position for transition but you're stuck here reminiscing 'cause it's never about you
Maybe it’s the thought that you could do more than this
Maybe it’s the way that you wanted to be
But I can't save you
No
I don’t wanna watch you fade away
I don’t wanna see you make the same mistakes
No
Just tell me everything you wanna hear
'Cause I’m not giving up on you, no
Maybe it’s the thought that you could do more than this
Maybe it’s the way that you wanted to be
Maybe it’s the pressure of the world on your shoulders
Maybe you can’t stand the sight of your own skin
Just take control
Your future's waiting
Find the hope
Your life is worth living
No I don't wanna watch you fade away
No
I don’t wanna watch you fade away
I don’t wanna see you make the same mistakes
No
Just tell me everything you wanna hear
'Cause I’m not giving up on you, no

Lately I’ve been wondering
'Bout where you’ve been
And everything that you’d say to me
When I was in the dark and struggling
Look how far we’ve come
Do you think of me when
You’re chasing the dreams that keep you awake
Does it help you sleep
Knowing that there’s something left of me inside of you
Lately I’ve been wondering
If you’re missin’ me
Causing I’m moving on and I’m doing fine
But every now and then you come across my mind
Can we make this right?
Do you think of me when
You’re chasing the dreams that keep you awake
Does it help you sleep
Knowing that there’s something left of me inside of you
If it went another way
I could’ve been the one to make you see
But close to you is far away
I could’ve been the one who set you free
If I knew then what i could do
I wouldn’t let myself get closer to you
Why did you keep the worst of me alive
Left here to keep you floating
If it went another way
I could’ve been the one to make you see
But close to you is far away
I could’ve been the one who set you free
Start a fire, ignite the flame
Feel the heat as we disintegrate
Start a fire, ignite the flame
Burn it all cause I’m over it
Lately i’ve been wondering
'Bout where you’ve been
And if you think of me when
You’re chasing the dreams that keep you awake
Does it help you sleep
Knowing that there’s something left of me inside of you
I’m out of sight, out of your mind
Just my ghost is left to haunt you now
Take a breath and just let the words come to you

Savoir (To Know)
03:28

I've spent my time inside a room without the light
Don't ask me why I'm stuck in the back of my own mind
A grand design, the only answer held by time
I'll peel back skin so you can see what's inside
Take everything from me
You'll come to find the ashes of all you believe
Left behind for everyone to see
You're wasting time, blinded by the light
I hope you realise you only want what's mine
But would you do this too?
I hope you realise the truth is in your eyes
Is this what's left? Is this all there is to know?
The fucking things you put me through
Shackle me to this dark room
Don't give me a reason, this isn't a reason to break me
Peel my skin and see the truth
I need to know
Give me a reason to know
I hope you realise you only want what's mine
But would you do this too?
I hope you realise the truth is in your eyes
Is this what's left? Is this all there is to know?
And in my mind you wasted all of your time
And I'm just waiting for this to end
And in my mind you wasted all of your time
I hope you realise you only want what's mine
I hope you realise the truth is in your eyes
Is this what's left? Is this all there is to know?
I hope you realise you only want what's mine
Is this all there is to know?
I hope you realise, wasted all your time
Is this what's left? Is this all there is to know?
The fucking things you put me through
Shackle me to this dark room
Don't give me a reason, this isn't a reason to break

Do I feel this all the time?
Is there a way to go without you ever knowing
That I left it all behind
And I don't want to change you mind
Because I'm feeling low and that I don't deserve
All the good things in this life
And I know that no one minds
They don't care what I do, how the world seems to you
But it claws at me inside
You don't know what's on my mind
I don't need you to feel 'cause what I feel is real
But I can't help asking why
I'm standing on the edge
No one knows that I'm hanging by a thread
My mind is racing, I feel it caving in
I feel it happening again
And after all this time
I forgot that I'm alive
What do I do to pass the time?
I'm just walking around with my head down
Trying to build a new disguise
I'm thinking "why should I even try?"
When every choice is the same
And I'm going insane when
I'm standing on the edge
No one knows that I'm hanging by a thread
My mind is racing, I feel it caving in
I feel it happening again
And after all this time
I forgot that I'm alive
Now I'm staring at mirrors trying to find myself again
I've been asking him questions but nothing's making sense
I'm finding out
Nothing's making sense
I'm standing on the edge
No one knows that I'm hanging by a thread
My mind is racing, I feel it caving in
I feel it happening again
And after all this time
I forgot that I'm alive

The Disease

I'm getting sick of watching everything go to waste
The same old tricks don't seem to work in this dying age
Fading desire while you're wearing disguises
Sold with the promise of killing with kindness
Can't you see you've just created disease
There's blood on your hands and it won't wash away
Everything that you've created reminds me of hell
Take a look at the world around you
Everything is covered in smoke
Is this how it ends?
Your pockets are full but you ain't got no change
You can't run away
We know the truth and we are choking on rage
Is this a part of your Design?
You can't run away
Is it too late to make this right?
Can't you see the world around you?
Everything is covered in smoke
Everything that you've created reminds me of hell
Is this all part of your Design?
Was it all worth the price?
Is this how it ends?
Your pockets are full but you ain't got no change
You can't run away
We know the truth and we are choking on rage
Is this a part of your Design?
(Their last chance for freedom)
Is it too late to make this right?
(Lies with those straying from this Design)
Can't you see you've just created disease
There's blood on your hands and it won't wash away

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 !

Heavy and melodic, wild and beautiful. Not a single song on this album I would want to skip. Same league as As I Lay Dying and Insomnium. Can it get any better than this? I doubt it.
