A Reason
Recorded by: Ryan Stack @ Format Audio in Haverhill, MA

Mastered by: Nick Zampiello and Rob Gonnella @ New Alliance East, Boston, MA

lyrics

We came here to burn,
to be undone.
To put the movement,
back into these motions.
To take the act, out of our actions,
and not to cash in on passion.
We’re calling you out,
with your industry,
agency attitude.
Fake ideals.
Passive messages.
Forced emotion.
A mindset and an image,
I thought we were trying to escape.
Let's keep this secret,
and not dilute it.
I came here for desperation
and sincerity.
So let's hear some clarity.
I came to bleed,
so say something that I actually believe.
I came here to burn,
to be set free.
I’m screaming for a reason,
not just to please them.
Screaming for a reason.
