Blame Me 05:34
I see a face I don't recognize, calloused by your mask of lies. I've come to expect the worst. Don't tell me you put me first. I'm terrified but not backing down, overthrow your tainted crown. I tried everything to make it work...when I leave you I hope it hurts. [chorus] I see the lightning in your eyes, I feel it haunt me every time that you blame me...you blame me tonight. I turn around, what do I see? Hallowed eyes stare back at me. I used to think I'd get out alive, even with your twisted knife. No, I can't take this anymore. You've always done this before. I need you to remove this blade from me. [chorus] No, I won't need you anymore. No, I won't believe you. [chorus]

The way it surrounds us, no light to graze your skin again. The way it has bound us, like a clock, our time is winding thin. [pre chorus] I don't want to live my life by your beliefs. I don't want to be caught up in vanity. I don't want to swallow pills you offer me. I just need to suppress these memories. [chorus] I think I've already lost you now, every trace disappeared somehow. I think I've already lost you to the war on falling stars. Embracing the darkness, telling you that it'll be ok. But it's more than harmless. This disease will rip your soul away. [pre chorus] [chorus] I know there's no escape from these allies becoming enemies. I know there's no redemption, 'cause I've already lost, I think I've already lost you now. [chorus]

"Rest in peace", the preacher concludes his speech as you lay out of reach. One by one, the dirt your loved ones held in their hands is released. [pre chorus] So many things I wish I could say. but you can't hear them when you're so far away. I can't accept the fact that you're gone. [chorus] I will commit the act that conveys my choice to admit that you're not here today. Dirt clenched in my fist, I face away. I will not submit and put the dirt on your grave. It's been eight weeks, and I'm sorry I haven't come to talk things out with you. Living life without your perfect smile has been difficult to do. [pre chorus] [chorus] Your scent still lingers where I lay my head to sleep. I can almost feel your fingers, but they're just beyond my reach. And I still hear you laughing...at least that's how it seems. And I still see you, but it's only in my dreams. Your ghost, it hovers over me. I need my sanity. I will commit the act that conveys my choice to believe that I'll see you again. Dirt clenched in my fist, standing in the rain, I'll finally submit and put the dirt on your grave.

Fight 04:27
Living in your own shattered dreams that nobody sees, I can't shake the irony of moving on to better things. You know what it brings. Does he answer violently? (you gotta fight) Don't be afraid to break away and fight to breathe another day. Pulling back the shroud to reveal things time couldn't heal, you can show your scars to me. Let me take you up to a place where we can erase all this negativity. (you gotta fight) Don't be afraid to break away and fight to breathe another day. Living under all the pressure. Break me down, I cannot let you. Don't be afraid to break away and fight to breathe another day.

Looks like the time has come to pull the plug on the weak. Your independence gone, control is not what it seems. It's time to rise up and take it into the streets. The life support is cut, the transformation complete. [pre chorus] My actions don't seem so clean. You're out there pulling the strings. Anything in a cage that couldn't hold has escaped and it's out of your control. Everything you ever hoped that you could be only exists in a fake reality. [chorus] You and I are one in the same. One reflection bound by different names. Recognize that you have become everything you hate, everything you hate. Master manipulate, I'm nothing more than a slave. I must capitulate and start to dig my own grave. It's time to die and be the person you've come to hate. I have come to see the futility of the brave. [pre chorus] [chorus] Cut the chords, cut the chords (that bind you)... cut the chords and be free. [chorus] Cut the chords, cut the chords (that bind you)... cut the chords and be free.

about

Project Vela Denver, Colorado

By combining elements of Future Bass and Indie Pop with Hard Rock and Post Hardcore, the duo has created a sound all their own, and fans have taken notice.

Project Vela is working on a 6 song EP to show their new sonic direction. But even as the music evolves, the core message remains the same: this is music you can connect to. More than music, this is a heavy, melodic catharsis.
