Their music has been compared to bands like Dead Poetic, Project 86, Every Time I Die, Blindside, Beartooth and Norma Jean. All songs were composed by Jared Lacey. Lyrically, his songs touch on topics such as the existence of God, addiction, his mother’s death, domestic abuse, martyrdom and homosexuality. These songs will be released as singles throughout the course of 2018.

Lyrics: Close Encounter
There’s so much more
There’s so much more than meets the eye
A universe
A vast expanse of uncharted mystery
I want new eyes to see
The truth is what we need
Yes, I want to believe
The truth is all we need
I want new eyes to see
The truth is what we need
Yes, I want to believe
The truth is all we need
The truth is out there
Where did it all begin?
Where does it end?
So many questions I have
So many things I just don’t know
I need to find the answers
I need to go
I want new eyes to see
The truth is what we need
Yes, I want to believe
The truth is all we need
I want new eyes to see
The truth is what we need
Yes, I want to believe
The truth is all we need
Are we really alone?
Are we really alone?
Or is there life, is there life extraterrestrial?
Are we really alone?
Are we really alone?
Is there a God?
Does he speak?
Are we listening?
Is anybody listening?
I won’t stop searching
There’s so much to explore
I’m not afraid to believe
I want new eyes to see
The truth is what we need
To believe
The truth is all we need
I want new eyes to see
The truth is what we need
Yes, I want to believe
The truth is all we need
The truth is out there
The truth is out there
The truth
