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.

Lyrics: ‘Fragile Frame’
(Revelation 21:4)
(2 Corinthians 4:16-18)
Her fragile frame
Weakens more and more as the days go by
Strength is fleeting
This infirmity preys upon my mother’s feeble body like a pack of ravenous wolves
It devours every last morsel of flesh
Right down to the bone
Her body
Is wasting away
Deteriorating, her memory is fading
The doctors say they don’t have the cure
There’s nothing I can do to counteract this
Vicious assault on my mother’s life
Please God, don’t let her die
Don’t let my mother die, don’t let her die tonight
Why can’t she live forever?
Don’t want to say goodbye, to say goodbye tonight
To say goodbye
I don’t want to see my mother die
I don’t want to say goodbye
The oxygen in her lungs is limited
She speaks, her voice nothing more than a whisper
Losing control of every emotion
Focus, behavior, time, no perception
Suspension of consciousness
Is spontaneous
Don’t let my mother die, don’t let her die tonight
Why can’t she live forever?
Don’t want to say goodbye, to say goodbye tonight
To say goodbye
Don’t let her die, don’t let her die tonight
Why can’t she live forever?
Don’t want to say goodbye, to say goodbye tonight
To say goodbye
This can’t be the end
I know, I know we’ll meet again
And God will wipe every tear from their eyes
There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain
Yes, He will wipe every tear from their eyes
For the old order of things has passed away
One day we will sing together
One day we will sing together
Where we will never die, no, we will never die
Where we will live forever
We’ll never say goodbye, no, we won’t say goodbye
We won’t say goodbye
We’ll never die, no, we will never die
Yes, we will live forever
We’ll never say goodbye, no, we won’t say goodbye
We won’t say goodbye
Fix your eyes not on what is seen
But on the unseen
Life eternal
