Grey Cloud 03:48
Gone, and now you've left me waiting But it's no surprise that I'd be Songs, that were meant to be perfect Have been slightly tuned out of key I'm done, your lack of dedication Has been so frustrating to me You run, your mouth on your pedestal Like you think I can't hear or see I had to let you drift away It's not fair that you stayed I'm done with second chances the decision has been made I had to let you drift away It's not fair that you stayed There's no more second chances Move on, there's no room left here for you And I'm in the driver's seat So long, head off on those vacations And we both can share some relief I had to let you drift away It's not fair that you stayed I'm done with second chances The decision has been made I had to let you drift away It's not fair that you stayed There's no more second chances son Because you were floating like a And so it seemed to me that you were floating like a Grey cloud And I was watching you as you were floating like a Grey cloud And I was noticing that you were floating like a Grey cloud And now I'm stopping you because you're floating like a Grey cloud Grey cloud Grey cloud You'll separate and split away with nowhere left to stay There's no more second chances the deception has been made

Trace my footsteps back to Graduation day at the hall A pattern of circles that stretch on for years I can’t coordinate these feet at all I’m slaving away, but feeling alright I’m pulled by the current of my life And i’m not the only one Who's pushing for dreams to come along Whoa whoa I’m counting seconds here Whoa whoa And I’m on my way there Whoa whoa If you feel a little lost out there in the world Know we’re all We’re all on our way there I don’t know what to do but I'll do it Yeah I’ll do it for the best of me I don’t know what you’ll do, but you’ll do it See through it We’re counting seconds here We’re all on our way there Pour me something monday morning Can't be thought of at all Here's to another week of scheduled hours I’m always on call So I'm walking through the tunnel of life But will I eventually see the light Or shiver and splinter on The sidelines of the track tonight Whoa whoa I'm counting seconds here Whoa whoa And i'm on my way there Whoa whoa If you feel a little lost out there in the world Know we're all We’re all on our way there I don't know what to do but I'll do it Yeah I'll do it for the best of me I don't know what you'll do but you'll do it See through it We're counting seconds here We're all on our way there Make the best of it before it's done Or you're gone I don't know what you'll do but you'll do it See through it I’m counting seconds here Yeah I’m on my way there We’re counting seconds here We're all on our way

The countless nights of such great heights Driving you home but i don't wanna know Where the night ends when i let you go So we fly down the way Driving you home to where i hope you'll stay When you are gone, i know i'll lie awake He said to me Oh won't you take it lightly Well that ripped right through me It's not love but you still got me hanging along So i still wonder often times If this will ever come together you and i Or wait forever as a score mark on your board Lead me on with confusing ways Are these often games that you would play to win It feels like i am not worth mentioning He said to me Oh won't you take it lightly Well that ripped right through me It's not love but you still got me hanging along So i'm calling to let you know i'm counting on you Stay, stay with me He said to me Oh won't you take it lightly Well that ripped right through me You ripped right through Oh won't you take it lightly Well that ripped right through me It's not love but you still got me hanging along Yeah it's not love but you still got me hanging along

Raccoon 04:31
We're sober now But waist deep in consequences pouring out We're over now I can't save a friendship that is going down No helpful words helped to make you stay, you floated so far away Keep possibility on display We're older now So for christ sake put the weapon down A year from now You'll bury the hatchet it will come around My whole world turned when we met today Exploding with words to say awake the life of us from the grave My whole world turned My whole world turned My whole world turned Stay lifelong Stay lifelong Stay lifelong Stay lifelong Stay lifelong Stay lifelong

The Empire 04:13
His words flow You want nothing to do with this The money speaks though So the empire commits Sometimes when life gets bad You'll use your chemistry for Waist deep earnings Hiding open here Avoid the force stay clear Or you're leaving nothing left for me There's no danger here I am the one they fear But they'll hunt you out eventually The streets flow It's a monopoly at risk You better keep low Or the crystal crumbles quick You're not the upper hand In fact you're entire Exit plan's distorting There's no danger dear I am the one they fear But they'll hunt you out eventually You wear out of the frame As the fade from white to grey rolls on And you broke so far from me When you tore this family Apart Hiding open here And you're leaving nothing left for me There's no danger dear I am the one they fear But they'll hunt you out eventually

Fairy Tales 02:43
Rule the masses, yeah you've been sold On fairy tales that you've been told No second glances, I will not fold No prayer to save my soul Throw the book away from me now Because there's no second glances So don't take your chances on me now Stay away from me Because you'll rock the boat Just to see the waves crash down and roll over me There are things that I can't see So I will welcome my ghost in time I'll stare straight forward because no one's in the sky So with my hands by my side Come what may I'm fine Rule the masses, yeah you've been sold On fairy tales that you've been told No second glances, I will not fold No prayer to save my soul Nothing set you free, because the upper hold Has stolen a soul to keep And i still can't believe Your swallowing what they feed It's all a fighting force, a fear ridden army So i will welcome my ghost in time I'll stare straight forward because no one's in the sky So with my hands by my side Come what may i'm fine

Maybe you're too black and white You're black, and I'm every grey Our eyes like the sky are blue, and I'm counting two He always tells me He always tells me all the time She screams as she notices the Cross-hair marked upon her chest With a cry, it's about all that's left inside You're gone, but you've not left Still just ridiculous as ever Phantom hate, not so clever Hindering those who you hold so dear Do you really want to help Can't you just stay clear Can't you just stay far from here It's way too bright in here For how dark this really is Put away your fists and close your eyes This should come as no surprise He always tells me He always tells me all the time She screams as she notices the Cross-hair marked upon her chest Grabbing guns with bayonets This love warfare of armed forgets Leaving fields of shattered hearts This once great love now, torn apart With a cry, it's about all that's left inside You're gone, but you've not left Yet

Smog 00:59
Oh the height of these trees Or even in the distance to the sky I've given up On feeling home Burning up to walk all of these streets alone But i thought i saw a star Through all this smog Blackening our windows From the inside
10.
Dead End 04:23
I'm counting all the stops that we've made Somebody take this car and just remove the brakes What does it take to deliver a sound Oh what I'd pay to be there now But money can't buy everything All the seams fall apart When I can't release my pain So what can I take All the seams fall apart I just pound against the cage So when will it break I'm working late and drinking endlessly Treading up the river pushing against me A starving artist who's working at her hardest And searching for the missing piece All the seams fall apart When I can't release my pain So what can I take All the seams fall apart I just pound against the cage So when will it break It's feeling make believe Why aren't these words ringing loud Someone with a magic key Unlock this voice to a crowd Yeah i'm begging you now So sell me solace And i'll pay it off in loans So sell me solace And i'll pay it off in loans All the seams fall apart, Will we lose our way Oh the more I know The further i have to fall down And with a broken back, I know I'll have to separate these pages To wake up the same old when I die

about

Minor Setbacks is titled after our struggle to get this album out and keep a band together.
With just two founding members left in the band, Taylor Roberds and Kyle Thomas asked themselfs a handful of times, if it was right to keep moving forward. Then they met Alex and were able to complete the album and set behind any doubts of continuing on.
