Remind me why I do this to myself
The bright side seems further away
Remind me just what we were fighting for
'Cause I would give my life to feel alive again
It started with an avalanche
Never really had a chance
Of avoiding our own success
But the moment came and quickly passed
Then we hit the bottom fast
Now, I'm wondering what comes next
Sometimes, I forget
Just what this means to me
And sometimes, I regret
Investing in these dreams
It's feeling like the end
Of this home that we built
As the memories fade away, so
Remind me why I do this to myself
The bright side seems further away
Remind me just what we were fighting for
'Cause I would give my life to feel alive again
But as I write the lyrics down
Memories come back around
Of a feeling this all once gave
The pictures are no longer clear
But as long as they appear
Maybe we can get back someday
Sometimes, I forget
Just what this means to me
And sometimes, I regret
Investing in these dreams
It's feeling like the end
Of this home that we built
As the memories fade away, so
Remind me why I do this to myself
The bright side seems further away
Remind me just what we were fighting for
'Cause I would give my life to feel alive again
Remind me why I do this to myself
The bright side seems further away
Remind me just what we were fighting for
'Cause I would give my life to feel alive again

Eons before the birth of our galaxy, a war raged on between The Titans and The Cyclops over control of the universe. The Cyclops overwhelmed The Titans with their enchanted weapons and armor, forged by the great blacksmith and sorcerer, Pinck. However, with each victorious battle, Pinck caught a glimpse of the corruption herding his people into the very darkness they fought to destroy. In the hands of every soldier, marching across the threshold, were the guiding shimmers of his own creations, and soon, his own destruction.

I feel like I'm out of my mind
And you never cared what's inside
You say, "Keep walking in a straight line"
When you know that it's a field of landmines
If you're not happy
Don't tell me how to be happy
If you're not happy
Then what makes you think you've got all the answers for me
It's time to change the scenery now
It looks right without you in the background
We'll do everything we always dreamed about
'Cause you won't be around to tear it all down
You spread your ignorance without a second thought
Never taking the time to realize what you've got
The way you treat me makes me think that you forgot
So allow me to remind you of everything that you just lost
You're not happy
So don't tell me how to be happy
You're not happy
So what makes you think you've got all the answers for me

Pinck became restless, haunted by two possible, terrible outcomes: would The Cyclops fall to the tyranny of The Titans, or would they be consumed by their own lust for power? In the midst of pondering a solution, Pinck was approached by a dark apparition, claiming to be the god of The Titans. At first, he dismissed the figure as a tired sorcerer's delusion, but, upon making eye contact with the being, became overwhelmed by a godly presence all-too real. The Titan God commanded Pinck to forge a single, most-powerful weapon for The Titans, for only then would the true destiny of the universe unfold. Anxious to surrender his burden to a higher power, Pinck followed The Titan God into the abyss. There, he was granted supernatural resources for his greatest invention.

This world is a heaven on it's way to Oblivion
The angels and demons hide in waiting below the skin
And I will find it hard to sleep tonight
'Cause I'll be staring into your cold eyes when I close mine
And I don't want to see your face right now
Forever dreaming of the different ways that you let me down
There's nothing left but a reminder
Of the things I wish that I could forget somehow
But you were my hero
You were my hero
The world was a safer place under the shade of your shadow
You were my hero
You were my hero
The world was a safer place under the shade of your shadow
The dead have arisen with this life that you've given me
I reach for your weapon, then I swing at the enemy
And now, I think I've got it figured out
Because I felt it in The Underground when I fell back down
You're still right there to remind me
Of the things I always seem to forget somehow
'Cause you are my hero
You are my hero
But the world is a brighter place out of the shade of your shadow
You are my hero
You are my hero
But the world is a brighter place out of the shade of your shadow

You point fingers at anyone
Who doesn't give a damn about your so-called revolution
In the name of social justice
You divide us all with labels: hypocritical solution
How can you assign the blame
To those you don't even know
Equality's your new game
And you play it up, just for show
Do you know what you're even fighting for
Are you only in it for yourself
Let go of your narrow-minded ways
Before you become the one you hate
Now, you're a threat to your own beliefs
As you attack the very people you're assumed to be defending
To play the victim and the hero
Is a fucking contradiction, and the war is never-ending
How can you decide the fate
Of those you don't even know
You claim to see beyond the face
But you point us out in a row
Do you know what you're even fighting for
Are you only in it for yourself
Let go of your narrow-minded ways
Before you become the one you hate
Do you know what you're even fighting for
Are you only in it for yourself
Let go of your narrow-minded ways
Before you become the one you hate

Outnumbered and overpowered, The Titans took a final stand against The Cyclops. The gods of both armies hovered above the battlefield as they anxiously awaited the war's conclusion and the victor's dominance of the universe. Suddenly, a massive portal opened up amidst the bloodshed. Out of its darkness emerged Pinck, wielding a magical sword that paralyzed the soldiers in awe. The Titan God laughed, knowing that his unlikely victory was now a certainty. Pinck raised the sword above his head and was surrounded by a powerful aura. The battleground shook as he spoke the following words:
“Your gods will never bring balance to this world. They will urge you to fight for their glory, even after you've crossed the line into tyranny. From this day forward, you are your own gods! Work together to create paradise, or drag each other down into Hell...where these two await you.”
With his final words, Pinck stabbed the sword deep into the ground, sending a shockwave that knocked the soldiers off their feet. The gods shrieked in terror as they began to disintegrate from this world, and, having used up all of his power, Pinck could feel his body preparing to follow them. He took one last look at the soldiers, who were now helping both allies and enemies back to their feet as if awoken from a life-long trance. A large, Cyclops tear fell from his face and splashed upon the sword like a newly-planted seed given water for the first time. He then closed his eye and embraced passing from this life, leaving the Cyclops and Titans to create a new world of balance: what is now our universe. At the center of it all remains...the SWORD OF PFP-NESS!

You're a beautiful girl with an ugly reflection
Always staring it down and making corrections
And when I came around, I was suffering in a similar way
But when you're blinded by your own self doubt
You can't see the hands around you, reaching out
We're a beautiful pair with some ugly collisions
Insecurities show in the hasty decisions
Take a moment to see that we're suffering in a similar way
But when you're blinded by your own self doubt
You can't see the hands around you reaching out
I've wasted so much time
Pulling you down when I could lift myself just fine
It's a long way up from here
But I'm ready to make the climb
It's a long way up, but don't look down
It's a long way up, but don't look down
It's a long way up, but don't look down
It's a long way up, but don't look down
I've wasted so much time
Pulling you down when I could lift myself just fine
It's a long way up from here
But I'm ready to make the climb
And I would carry you on my back
Just to make it up in time
It's a long way up from here
But I'm ready to make the climb
