"I wrote "Synapse Fires" during a time when I felt absolutely crippled by anxiety, and trapped within circumstances out of my control. Lyrically, the song begins discussing the source of my frustration, and devolves into a myriad of other fears I have.

I went into playing in a band wide-eyed, full of wonder and unprepared for the pressures I'd face trying to maintain a serious band. When things began to fall apart, so did I. I am working on trying to understand how to keep my anxiety under control and not snap at people I love. I hope people who also feel like they're racing time to accomplish their goals can hear this and know that they're not alone in trying to figure their lives out."

Lyrics:
And so we meet again.
A cast of doubt, my anger knows no end
It feels so wrong to be proven right
Pity mangled a straighter spine.
We cut our words in stone.
And you dared to crack the code.
Over and over again,
Over and over again.

The hourglass is cracked
The problems are never ending
Life's already gripped my neck,
I'm just shaking to struggle out of it.

It's so much worse on the inside.
It’s so much worse on the inside.
Kill the cancer where it hurts
Kill the cancer at the source,
They wanna wait to operate,
They wanna see how bad it grows.
I just want to be cured,
I just want to feel better.

Speed up the tempo now
We’re only dying faster, faster
Speed up the tempo now
We’re only dying faster
Speed up the tempo now
We’re only dying faster, faster
Yeah, pick up the pace now,
We’re only dying faster

I can't face the facts, at the top of my lungs I'm shouting- why?
How did we let it get this bad
I just wanted the upper hand
And how- it feels to be in last place

And you dare to redirect the blame
Kill the cancer where it hurts
Kill the cancer at the source,
Violent anger like a comet’s tail
Blazing through like a chemical trail
Look at all the people, so healthy and pure
I just want to be cured,
I just want to feel better.

The hourglass is cracked
Life's already gripped my neck,
I'm breaking my limbs just to struggle out of it.
You’d let me die but you can't stand to hurt anyone
You’ll let the dust settle and then inhale it through your lungs.
I feel my health slipping
But I am filled with hope that the pain will heal
Not gonna walk it off,
I just wanna get some sleep again,
Not gonna walk it off,
I just wanna get some sleep again.
Not gonna walk it off,
I just wanna get some sleep again.
Not gonna walk it off,
I just wanna get some sleep again.
