Arron Johnson You can tell how much hard work ATA puts into their music. You can feel the emotion behind it, on top of it being just the kind of heavy I like, this EP stomps many of my favorite bands EPs/Albums to date. A band full of extremely talented musicians at every aspect, and a local fanbase that has the utmost respect for Await The Arrival. Amazing musicians, Amazing music.
10/10 Favorite track: Deception ft. Noah Curry of Rise and Revolt.

I swore I'd never look back Another lie told in my youth And a series of broken rear-view mirrors All haunted by reflections of you It's about time I faced my fears Turning around 180 degrees I can't live life steering clear And my conscience is assaulting me You don't have to change your ways for me To see that you are human just like me Your emotions lead you evil places But all can be redeemed No one's perfect but we live for a reason Breathe in another chance to change with the seasons There is redemption for those who seek it Another chance to change with seasons I'll do for you what has been done for me And offer you forgiveness to grow with the trees WE CAN GROW WITH THE TREES Blegh I hope you see what you have done to me I put myself aside and grow with the trees No one's perfect but we live for a reason Breathe in another chance to change with the seasons I believe in second chances so I'll offer one to you I'll offer you one thousand if it's what I have to do I believe in second chances so I'll offer one to you I'll offer you one thousand if it's what I have to do Blegh

Trapped in a cage of skin Worse than what lies beneath Born out of wedlock And into sin The mirror is all I see I could never live up to the man I think should be Surrounded by measuring sticks as high as the eye can see My mother didn't love me enough to give my father's identity So many apologies for the things I've said and done How could a savior love me after the things I did when I was young? It's I who makes me sick, man I'm just tryna' measure up Doing everything I can but it is not enough I will never measure up I will never measure Son, look to me Son, look to me You're never too far gone You're never too far gone With the bloodshed on the cross the victory is won Move! You are stronger than this! You are stronger than this! If you're pleasing the world Then you're wasting your time And if you think I'd approve Then you're living a lie You know I loved you so much That I'd surrender and die I wish you'd care for what matters And stop wasting your life Stop wasting your life Blegh If we broke our mirrors, then we could see clearly How could I be so self absorbed? How could you bear with the failings of someone so wretched Forgive us, for we knew exactly what we were doing If you broke your mirrors, then you could see clearly

You, get out of my face You, get out My mind has become such a dark place I'm always stuck between a rock and a hard place I'm always left empty, longing for the past My brighter days behind me, I'll never get them back You chose a life of misery A better life is in reach but it would cost too much The way you accept less, the way you reject love I gave my everything, was that not enough? If you weren't aware This is all your fault We stand here so disgusted By the way you call my name In the darkest hour You stand there in all your treachery Don't touch my friends and don't touch me I'm sorry for all unrighteousness When pain overcomes my compassion I'm sorry for all unrighteousness Be thankful that these are words and not actions You callin' me a liar? I AIN'T CALLIN' YOU A TRUTHER You're dead to me Blegh
5.
Blegh Let's clear the air It's time you told the truth Your traps and snares may have worked before But we know what you're now living for I've come prepared and you'll never step foot in my way You can spread your lies, there's no truth in what you have to say You never took my place, you only warmed my seat You may think that you are God, but you'll fall before his feet I was at that show, witnesses can tell You looked to your own heaven then put me through hell There is only one truth and so many lies Floating around the world for the lost to find Swerve Hit the road Swerve Hit the road Get behind me

Idolizer 04:01
All who make idols are nothing In his sight And the things that they treasure are worthless In his eyes (x2) It all falls down The king takes the crown Watch falsehoods die With hands held high (x2) Those who would speak up for them Are blind and ignorant Who shapes a god and casts an idol which can profit nothing? Those who will be put to shame Such craftsmen are only human beings Let them come together and try to take their stand They will be brought down, they will be brought down Terror and shame, terror and shame H'what Terror and shame, terror and shame H'what!? Terror and shame, terror and shame H'what!? Terror and shame, terror and shame H'what!? To terror and to shame and you're the only one to blame, go! Turn from your ways or die It all falls down The king takes the crown Watch falsehoods die With hands held high (x2) All who make idols are nothing In his sight And the things that they treasure are worthless In his eyes Go!

Compassion 04:30
Hear me Oh, please, let me share this with you We failed to reach God's perfect standard Throughout all history We had the task to keep his laws But we were not sufficient Then the Holy One came down To set us free I've been saved, I've been saved From a worthless place I have seen, I have seen And my soul's been redeemed Oh, Father, cleanse me There is so much more than this world He turned this world upside down so we could live forever Die to ourselves and live for him Proclaim his name fearlessly Throughout the world, giving hope to all He came down, live a perfect life, And took the death we deserved Our sins nailed upon the cross so we could live free The blood ran red, the sin washed white So we could make it to the other side No one deserves a second chance, this world shall pass away I've been saved, I've been saved From a worthless place I have seen, I have seen And my soul's been redeemed Oh, Father, cleanse me I've been saved, I've been saved From a worthless place I have seen, I have seen And my soul's been redeemed Oh, Father, cleanse me He saved my life and he can save yours Savior, savior My savior, my savior
