Bitterly I fixate on another wasted day
Jitter-thinking sinks me in my self-inflicted shame
Slithering like a serpent, my regret constricts my strength
I’m drowning in the wake
Reflecting on today
It seems like such a waste
I feel like I’ve done nothing, and all the things I did
Are drowning in a million better things I should have been
My scattered thoughts have once again
Left me in this unsettled state
This coil of overthought mistakes
Is binding me, I suffocate
Now I’m running out of time
At my limit, wondering why
I’m always running out of time again
(time and time again)
Now I’m barely keeping pace
Stuck, somehow, running in place
And everything I chased left me behind
Watch my most hopeful dreams
Betraying me
Oh I can’t stand to think I’d waste another chance
And watch another moment slip right through my hands
But my unwarranted regret
Becomes the pressure in my head
Am I even worth another chance to try again?
(Chance to try again)
Now I’m running out of time
At my limit, wondering why
I’m always running out of time again
(time and time again)
Now I’m barely keeping pace
Stuck, somehow, running in place
And everything I chased left me behind
Fixate (Fixate)
Mistakes
I hate (Mistakes)
This waste
Fixate (I hate)
Mistakes
I hate (This waste)
This waste
Fixated - Time wasted
I hate the way my mind is made
Fixation temptation
Send every hour to the grave
Fidgety and anxious
Suppressing agitated screams
Fixated - Time wasted
I hate my self-defeating dreams

AfterWake is one of the dopest up-and-coming prog bands in Toronto, and we've had the pleasure of sharing the stage with them. TIL is melodic, bouncy, groovy, and emotional in all the right ways. KOZEN
Polarity are veterans in the Toronto prog & rock scene and they've been like our older siblings - we've played with them more than any other band. Proggy, melodic, and powerful. KOZEN
Arrowheads are our brothers from Quebec. We toured with their old band We Throw Flowers back in 2017, and their new project delivers undeniable metalcore/post-hardcore greatness. KOZEN
A powerhouse of a record from the Michigan metalcore stalwarts, full of sinister, stadium-sized singalongs and unbridled emotion. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 31, 2022
The latest Djunah LP channels the duo's heavy, intensely cathartic sound to reflect on living with and healing from trauma. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 14, 2023
