Issues - The Settlement

Until death, used to mean something more
Than a proverb framed on the walls of a broken home

Closed doors can only hide so much
Pacing through this hallway, I listen in disgust
As you divide my mind and force my years into minutes
Destroy the hands of time, the hands that made me whole

What if I become a silhouette of this very same thing
Then everything you taught me seems to start fading
Oh how am I now to survive as a heart divided
Between the very hands that made me whole

Did you even notice, all I wanted was more of your time
Wasted on hating, when love's what should've made you blind
Did you even notice, all I wanted was more of your time
Wasted on hating, when love's what should've made you blind

You can only forgive so much
Before you give up because there's no trust
At least you tried and that's just fine
But how the hell do I know I'm not next in line
It's not my fault, then why am I in the middle of this burning bridge

Tell me oh how am I now to survive as a heart divided
Between the very hands that made me whole
Did you even notice, all I wanted was more of your time
Wasted on hating, when love's what should've made you blind
Did you even notice, all I wanted was more of your time
Wasted on hating, when love's what should've made you blind

I am the one who suffers from your bullshit, I'm the one who suffers
My world divided, by the hands that made me whole

2:12 their breakdowns are so incredibly creative its hard to follow...not just this song, their other songs too!

[BarbateBrandon]

This one, Personality Cult, and Late, and Sad Ghosts are my favorite so far! But loving the whole album so far

[jenniferbrat]

This is beautiful. I just want to hug the band because it sounds so good.

"Until death, used to mean something more
Than a proverb framed on the walls of a broken home
Closed doors can only hide so much
Pacing through this hallway, I listen in disgust
As you divide my mind and force my years into minutes"
i thinks these just became my favourite lyrics ever

[LordChrome]

What magic is Issues have made my night a work a lot better!!!!

[ScreechingMelody]

I freaking love Issues. Not only is their music fantastic, their live performances are amazing. They sound exactly like the record. Not a lot of bands can do that nowadays. 

[letsgetreckless]

This is siiick. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album. I'm stoked.

[courtneyzaragoza]

one of my favorite songs on their self titled album. have seen ISSUES live 3 times already and am super excited for new album.

[jenniferwilliams]

I've been playing this album for months...I can't listen to anything else.. I'm in love!!

[soccergurl]

Im so hype for this album i cant even function properly.

[moti]

I really need to see these guys again. I managed to meet Sky and he was so chill

[sergiodilucas]

I fall more in love with this band after every single they release. They incorporate so many different type of genres of music in their own and it fits perfectly together. Issues is bringing a positive change to this music scene and its about time! Beyond stoked for the release of the album! You made amazing choice signing this band rise.

[MitchellDee]

One of their best songs. Damn they're so good! I get chills from Michael's
You can only forgive so much
Before you give up because there's no trust
At least you tried and that's just fine
But how the hell do I know I'm not next in line
It's not my fault, then why am I in the middle of this burning bridge

[TheTooSiiK]

wait till you all hear the rest of the album, it's so damn good. 

[pearsonlewallen]

The muted notes at the beginning of that first break down give me chills.

[taylor]

Woah that breakdown at the end was funky!

[StarShredder]

I don't care what anyone says, this album is gunna fucking CRUSH Of Mice & Mens "Nu Metal" new album. Mad respect to them for putting out a good album but this is the definition of NEW Nu-Metal. Them and Dangerkids are saving this genre.

[xaxsimplexescapex]

I'm glad that the guitar riffs are a "step up" from their EP.  I can see how it can get repetitive after a while but I know the band put their best into this record, so I think we should look past some of the silly stuff.

[xenophontis]

this was toooo fucking short :c
that breakdown at the end was fantastic, my super bass headphones made me poop

[Chadboscy]

I literally am so excited for this album
