Lost in my own way, I’m tired of waiting I came here to say, You can’t fix me The last time we talked I ran into a landmine I could feel the shrapnel as it flew by To confirm the ending of the peace time I subverted when I said You’re pulling away, You’re tired of chasing You came here to say you can’t fix me Lost in my own way, I’m tired of waiting I came here to say you can’t fix me A blue sky greys as clouds descend over a new smile Slowly changing when the flawed design Manifests a sickness in the bloodline Permeating through my head You’re pulling away, You’re tired of chasing You came here to say you can’t fix me. Lost in my own way, I’m tired of waiting I came here to say you can’t fix me No, don’t try and fix me, no, just leave me here I’m broken No, don’t try and fix me, no just leave me here I’m broken, cut off from the world You’re pulling away, You’re tired of chasing You came here to say you can’t fix me Lost in my own way, I’m tired of waiting I came here to say you can’t fix me You can’t fix me

Pretend 03:16
I see you and me inside a dream Surrounded by the nature of serenity Happy living within the make believe Knowing in my bones this isn’t what it seems If this is a replay, then I’ll pretend The infinite movie running through my head Aren’t Memories that haunt me to the end So I just pretend, so I just pretend, so I just pretend, so I just pretend So I just pretend I hate how I seem to stumble back for more Trying to forget the look still on your face Awake I’m panicking while searching for Something that will take me to a happy place If this is a replay, then I’ll pretend The infinite movie running through my head Aren’t Memories that haunt me to the end So I just pretend, so I just pretend, so I just pretend, so I just pretend So I just pretend Living shadows follow me I turn my back so I can't see Anything so I can just pretend To be not me If this is a replay, then I’ll pretend This infinite movie running through my head Aren’t Memories that haunt me to the end

Why am I reaching so hard when it’s standing so close? Would I take it too far - becoming a ghost? I missed the signs that were right here Continued walking on my own I’m laying down for the end yeah If I see you, if I see you, if I see you, if I see you on the other side If I see you, if I see you, if I see you, if I see you on the other side When I feel alone, or when I feel at fault It’s the only way I know And when I feel anything at all It’s the only thing I know Then I’ll carry this hurt, ‘Cause it’s what I deserve. So I won’t show that I’ll never be whole So why am I not feeling lost When I’m falling apart? And I don’t care what’s the cost If I see you, if I see you, if I see you, if I see you on the other side If I see you, if I see you, if I see you, if I see you on the other side When I feel alone, or when I feel at fault It’s the only way I know And when I feel anything at all It’s the only thing I know Then I’ll carry this hurt, ‘Cause it’s what I deserve. So I won’t show that I’ll never be whole I can’t open the door It’s safer being alone I can’t open the door It’s safer being alone, ‘cause that’s all I’ve ever known (If I see you, if I see you, if I see you on the other side) (If I see you, if I see you, if I see you on the other side) If I see you, if I see you, if I see you on the other side If I see you, if I see you, if I see you on the other side (on the other side) Then I’ll carry this hurt, ‘Cause it’s what I deserve. So I won’t show that I’ll never be whole (when i feel alone or when I feel at fault) that I’ll never be whole (or when I feel anything at all) that I’ll never be whole

I'm Sorry 03:31
I tell you I don’t want to leave you out to dry Even though I’m the one who’s gone Is it enough to say I’m sorry? Is it enough to say I’m sorry? You didn’t know I was a master of disguise Lights on, but no one’s home It’s not enough to say I’m sorry. It’s not enough to say I’m sorry. ‘Cause I’m sorry, yeah I’m sorry I’m sorry that I’m weak I’m sorry you had to be strong I’m sorry that you’ve seen How far away I’ve withdrawn I’m sorry, I’m sorry Keeping straight everything I’m trying to hide And how you seemed to always know I don’t know how to show I’m sorry I don’t know how to show I’m sorry I try to peel the layers inside my head And feel the emptiness Don’t let go, don’t let go, don’t let go I’m sorry that I’m weak I’m sorry you had to be strong I’m sorry that you’ve seen How far away I’ve withdrawn I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry Is it better if I lie than to apologize And say I’m feeling strong Apologies aside, I can tell by how you cry You’re better off alone I’m sorry that I’m weak I’m sorry you had to be strong I’m sorry that you’ve seen How far away I’ve withdrawn I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry

I couldn’t heal a broken arm if I wanted Same goes for a wounded heart if I wanted Even when it leaves me out to dry, it stays inside This could tear my world apart if it wanted I say I’m feeling alone but I don’t mind it But I know something you don’t - I’ve been lying I say I’m feeling alone but I don’t mind it But I know something you don’t - I’ve been lying I am walking down the only road I know Suffocated by the wounds I never show As it burns away the best in me Left with pieces of someone I used to know (Someone I used to know, someone I used to know) Where did all my anchors go when I need ‘em Struggling to stay afloat, keep from drowning And I’ll sink down while watching sky above me I’ll start giving up I say I’m feeling alone but I don’t mind it But I know something you don’t - I’ve been lying I am walking down the only road I know Suffocated by the wounds I never show As it burns away the best in me Left with pieces of someone I used to know (Someone I used to know, someone I used to know) I am walking down the only road I know Suffocated by the wounds I never show As it burns away the best in me Left with pieces of someone I used to know.

I’ve heard this voice in my head before, But it’s something more This time. It feels incendiary. It’s made me weak And I feel like I’m Breathing chloroform The change is all but ordinary So I pull away Just to suffocate But you know I’m naive You’re lying through your halo Holding my hand Guiding to a painful, suffering end And I’ll break down There’s no way out So I take my last breath as I’m Waiting for death to begin I’ll wear a mask so we fool ourselves Don’t want the help This time it’s never ending So I pull away ‘Cause I’m suffocating You know I’m so naive You’re lying through your halo Holding my hand Guiding to a painful, suffering end And I’ll break down There’s no way out So I take my last breath as I’m Waiting for death to begin So I pull away Just to suffocate But you know I’m naive ‘Cause you’re lying through your halo Holding my hand Guiding to a painful, suffering end And I’ll break down There’s no way out So I take my last breath as I’m Waiting for death to begin

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.
