lyrics

I’ve been ostracized by the place I held my heart.
I’ve tried to hold close, but it pushed me away.
The only regret I’ll ever have in life,
Is the fact that I’ll grow old without a home.

I’ve placed myself on the mountaintop.
Standing tallest amongst existence.
While on my pedestal, I failed to see
The errors in my assumption.

I saw myself as the strongest being.
Darwin’s choice in organisms.
In reality, I was just the prey,
To those I considered beneath my feet.

Ayo turn the beat up a little bit.
Man, I thought hurricane season was over.
Somebody better call up Dairy Queen,
Cause there bought to be a blizzard up in here.

I am a failure.
I’ve brought shame to my family.
I am a failure.
An embarrassment to society.

Perfection was never in my grasp.
I never deserved my throne.
Being a juggernaut was an illusion,
Brought on by a false sense of self.

I’ve been pushed aside by all I’ve wronged.
There’s nothing I can do to change their minds.
I’ve acted like I was above the world,
When all I wanted was a place to rest my head.
When all I wanted was a place to rest my head.

Vibration/Colour/Frequency
by TOOTHGRINDER

Without a doubt one of the most hardworking bands we know, easily deserving of everything they have. Like Dillinger meets Mastodon with some garage rock thrown in. The Greatest Virtue

Very close friends of ours that have been in the scene killing it for quite a while, and like a fine wine or cheese, just keep getting better with age. The Greatest Virtue

We've shared the stage many times with these dudes and they get the crowd going every single time, each more violent and passionate than the last. Catch our upcoming split with em. The Greatest Virtue
