LYRICS:
I've spent my life chasing ambitions
that were just beyond my reach,
just to feel so disenchanted as potential fell to waste.
But still I tremble at the thought of my unaccomplished aims,
knowing all my best laid plans
might leave me reeling and empty handed.
Vicious circles are a false sense of progression.
Every wrong turn one step further from my goal,
furthering the distance in my mind.
The path less travelled is one I've feared to walk,
but hesitation is a dead end road.
It seems I've always run away.
Turned my back on uncertainty
(Never dared to face my own worst fears).
A life spent being led astray will never amount to anything,
until my reflection shows me
that the hands that held me back are none but my own.
My heart will never be another unrequited dream.
I'll travel the earth and seas to find a heart that beats for me.
And though the winds will change, I'll find new strength to fill my sails,
each growing breath one final push to carry me home.
Searching for so long just to find
what was right in front of me all this time.
It takes so much just to open up your eyes.
And when you feel like you're alone,
look for strength to find your way back home and carry on.
Nothing comes of apathy.

Damn I forgot how much of a banger this was... Time flies.
Thanks for the compliments and constructive criticism man. This is the first song we wrote of 6 songs on the EP, and since writing it we have tried a few different things to keep every song fresh. Hopefully one of them gives you what you're after - thanks for the support :)

Still an amazing EP. I saw you Polaris live in St Louis about a year ago and I'm so glad that you guys kept pushing. Your music continues to help me get through the hardest few years of my life. Can't wait to hear the new stuff you are working on.
god almost cried listening to that soft vocal in the end
these guys deserve so much more recognition

JuvenileCumquat And? They're not as big as CTC, which makes sense they would be opening for them? Popularity =/= better music.

linker94 I noticed this was about a year ago but have you checked out some newer CTC ? It's pretty decent I'd go as far as to say it's pretty good.
This song is amazing. Great grooves, great vocals, great clean vocals too! Kinda reminds me of Erra.
Holy moley at the lyrics. That is a mind full (mindful).
Thanks for the phone cover today, and the awesome tunes. Nice to hear some new metal for an old metal fan
This song changed my life.
Going through a 200+ metalcore list... and just figured out: That's by far the *best* song sine a very very long time... Thanks so much guys!!
I just bought the album. I love it all.
sick ! love it already ! as for mostly every band from Australia :)
Nothing Comes Of Apathy.... Incredible!!! You've got a fan from Sao Paulo, dudes! Congrat's
Soooo keen for the rest of this, good work babes
Let's go strayaaaa, always makes the best music!
We love you ! Cheer from france guys !
So good..
What a banger.
fucking sick song, love this so much
This song. How I feel right now.
This song might be hands down the dopest dope I ever smoked
I like this !! Greetings from Belgium :-)
Yeah buddy!
0:58 BEST NOICE I'VE EVER HEARD....
You know you guys actually sound quite similar to a Toowoomba band I use to love which I'm sure have stopped now unfortunately called Revelations so I can see myself really wanting to see you guys live soon
Amazing 3
Winning
They really make so much better videos now :D
Are you kidding? his vocals are ridiculous!

good shit
....I mean....the internet gives us the opportunity to think out loud. So I guess that's what I was doing. I hope you guys do really well! I was in a metal band years ago that split up after two years or so. It's hard enough staying together let alone standing the test of time.
listen to the rift that starts at 2:01 it is brutal if you blast it

Well.. Now you got a new fan
Hey, guys! Big fan.. Been listening to this EP for 5 days in a row now, and just found myself a new favorite band.. Can you guys give some songwriting tips for a fellow musician? What scales/chords I should practice on..
Greeting from Peru

Hey that's cool man, no harm done! I hope that if you read the lyrics you might see it's not actually an angry song to begin with - it's a frustrated song in ways, but all in all a very positive song by the end. I prefer to think of the vocals as passionate rather than aggressive haha - thanks for the comments anyway!
some sick riff haha :)
This is not my genre of music - I was looking for another song BUT then the lyrics were in front of me and I was hooked!
💜🤘
Fuck, this is sick! :) Glad I found this. Keep it up!
ye boyzz
I totally accept your comment. :-) Your band is very good! I don't think you should drastically change your vocals. I just think a toning down of the 'forced aggression' would vastly improve what you have to offer. Believe me, at my age, I've seen bands like you come and go. People get tired of the aggression and testosterone. But hey it's your choice and by all means...stick to what you love!
hollow existence with oli sykes/mike hranica vocals...nice
How does this have a dislike?!
Fuck yes.
Jake Steinhauser could be in any Pop Punk band if he wanted to.
Sound so much like Cardinals Pride from Quebec City, Canada
I was going to say In Hearts Wake's Departure haha
Beast vocals (both cleans and screams) ! (Ryan, where's your solos?? :D)

This is fucking sick. definitely hearing some Northlane in here.
29 dislike r all the haters who hate metal actually take time to listen to the full song
the video looks exactly the same as Prepared like a Bride - Unforeseen.
The vocals remind me of BMTH
Not loving the cleans, but love the screams and groove.

I'm pretty sure he meant ridiculously good, since u said it's shit and you're really getting it wrong. They don't have to change themselves just to appeal to a wider audience, that's plain stupid.
I totally agree! Great potential! Great musical ability....but jeez...what's with the straining to do a shit vocals?? It's over the top angst and false sounding. Tone it down a bit...try to reach everyone instead of just the 20 year old dudes.
I don't get it. Are you saying they are ridiculously good? Or are they ridiculously shit? I'm saying they are bad. It sounds a bad interpretation of what angry metal is all about. And as I said, if the band want to reach a wider audience, which I'm pretty sure they do...to rethink the vocal approach. But if they only want to appeal to testosterone fuelled young dudes...they're fine. :-)
