1. Millstone

 

Honestly, were you sleeping? Reach out, touch me now.
Where can I take my dirt filled head?
Where can I leave my past where no one can see?
I’m at the foot of your cross but I’m a wreck.
I’m stumbling, I can’t see straight.
Oh will you still love me when I am selfish and I never seem to show you my face?
I need to ask, what is the name of God on my lips?
Is there something I missed? I’m holding on by my fingertips.
I should know where to draw the line but sometimes I get dragged in and I can’t face the consequence.
I want to see the world through your eyes, I want to see how hurt you are.
I want to take out my insides and bury the bad in the earth. I’m thinking...
Is there a stone around my neck? Am I somewhere else instead?
Oh will you still love me when I am selfish and I never seem to show you my face?
I need to ask, what is the name of God on my lips?
Is there something I missed? I’m holding on by my fingertips.
I’ll sit for hours until I can’t think anymore about the world we live in without love, but you’re still here.
Is there a stone around my neck? Am I somewhere else instead?

2. Can’t See The Forest For The Trees

 

Spread out, Spread apart, lets tell the world.
There’s something that’s burning through my skin. I’m going to reach the ends of this ground
Everybody needs to know. We won’t be silenced this time.
We’re going to love like you’ve never seen, like you’ve never seen.
"Dancer, Dancer, keep your feet in time and inside the lines"
I’m starting to wonder what I’m talking about.
How can you explain this love that falls on me.
My God, explain yourself
Times running out and this feeling is getting way too old.
I can say I believe every word you said. I always got what I wanted.
It never hit so hard, I’ve never been so unexpectant. I couldn’t stop this if I tried.
"Dancer, Dancer, keep your feet in time and inside the lines"
We’re moving forward, We’re not looking back and we won’t be stopped. Shout the truth. Shout the truth.

3. I Am Scared Of Me

 

We need to break the mould and hope there’s something more than this wretched place called home that we continue to drown in.
We must be more than this. Something had to be said before we follow the footsteps of everyone else.
The world has eyes that see between you and me and how cruel we are.
Tell me I am born. Tell me I’m worth the ground you walked on.
O God, can you keep me grounded?
I don’t wanna let this pull me under.
O God, keep me grounded.
Don’t let this pull me under.
Why do we continue to live day by day without you?
Are we so proud to ever move out from this comfort?
Now I could never live without the strong beat that continues to pull me through these days that are getting colder in this dying land.
The world has eyes that see between you and me and how cruel we are.
Tell me I am born. Tell me I’m worth the ground you walked on.
I’m not home until I’m done in this place.
This is so clear to me.
This is understanding.
This is so clear to me.
This is understanding.

4. City To City

 

When your money is no good and your mouth is sealed shut
We’re moving, we’re moving out.
And how often did you say, you wanted things your way?
We’re moving, we’re moving out.
Is it too much to ask for?
Open your eyes and see
It’s not too hard to believe
You’re in way too deep.
It’s not too hard to believe
You’re in way too deep.
I’ve been told it’s not too long
I know it’s not that easy
I’ve been holding on to this
Do you understand?
Stop and listen, can you hear me now?
It isn’t always the hard side you have to face,
Unless you want to. We could be here for days.
There’s a light you think is hidden that will be shown if you ask.
There’s a light that can bring you surface when you think its over.
As fire glazes the city, our eyes are forced shut and our hands have never held so tight,
Buildings fall and punctured lungs are failing to breathe beneath the rubble.
We’re as dead as our chests that pour evil

5. Zeal

 

So lets piece things together from now on, one by one.
I hoping you know the way, because I’m so alone.
Taking what you have for granted is a mistake you always made.
I’m hoping you know the way, I’m so alone...
Just know, I’m relieved, things are clear, my feet are where they should be.
Can you do this without me?
You’re there everytime.
You’re there for everything.
Just know, I’m relieved, things are clear, my feet are where they should be.
Can you do this without me?
My God, I can see clearly why I’m calling you.
My God, I can see clearly why I need you.

6. If We Were A Sinking Ship

 

The great wall that stands between the lost and the seen are the lies we let sink in
What is this? We’ve broken the trust of a fallen man.
So quick to pick you up but quicker to put you down.
No actions have been thought through by the both of us now.
Can we wait to see if they ever understand?
I am the words when you are silent.
I am the comfort when you are gone.
I am the thoughts behind your actions.
I’m on the end of your last breath.
I can be whoever you want me to, I can be....
I won’t compromise this time.
You can’t take what’s mine.
Give in now, I can never forget the things you said.
I’ll look to where I’m known the most for my escape.
They won’t stop buying your smile, they won’t stop, they won’t stop.
I am the words when you are silent.
I am the comfort when you are gone.
I am the thoughts behind your actions.
I’m on the end of your last breath.
I can be whoever you want me to, I can be....
Your eyes can wait. What do they want to see?
If I walk away from everything? Would that be it?
You caught me living my life as someone else.
I am the words when you are silent.
I am the comfort when you are gone.
I am the thoughts behind your actions.
I’m on the end of your last breath.

Be still now...
You know you won’t survive.
It’s so cold out there.

8. Holes

 

Oh here it is again, face to face with everything that keeps pulling us down
So in me and this place that’s full of regret, you’ll see that nothing is quite perfect.
Now, all eyes are focused on me and everything I do is for only you.
We didn’t want it to be like this, We didn’t want it to be like this.
Oh believer, there’s things you’ve never seen, there’s things you’ve never been told.
I pray to God that the Devil never sees my sorry face.
So beg for your safety in a time when you have nothing and no self-control.
and take the respect you won from your most, meaningful, its all you have left to show.
Now, all eyes are focused on me and everything I do, is for only you.
We didn’t want it to be like this, We didn’t want it to be like this
Oh believer, there’s things you’ve never seen, there’s things you’ve never been told.
I pray to God that the Devil never sees my sorry face.

9. Vultures Among The Dead
 

You watched me fall
You never take your eyes off me
Who am I to ever leave your side when I am lead to believe
That temptations not a living disease.
And although, I’m like this at times, you’ll still see the cross at the back of my eyes.
Thin ice is beneath our feet as we fight
You watched me fall
You never take your eyes off me
Who am I to ever leave your side when I am lead to believe
That temptations not a living disease.
Face it, face it, climb out of this hole you live in.
Face it, face it, escape from a world your leading.
And although, I’m like this at times, you’ll still see the cross at the back of my eyes.
Thin ice is beneath our feet as we fight
This was it for a short time until eventually I could see and when it’s all over, Thank God for forgiveness.
There’s a light
When your done tonight, you’ve done alright, you got what you wanted
Find yourself and never fall back. You have your life on the line, it’s all too much.
And although, I’m like this at times, you’ll still see the cross at the back of my eyes.
Thin ice is beneath our feet as we fight.
When your done tonight, you’ve done alright, you got what you wanted
This was it for a short time until eventually I could see and when it’s all over, Thank God for forgiveness.

10. The Bigger Picture

 

Lately, I’ve been feeling a light, alive at last.
My eyes have been opened and I can see the path ahead.
Tear down the wall that’s been made around you and escape to see it what you’ve been waiting for.
I can see my world.
Pull yourself up.
I can see my world.
Pull yourself up.
Oh do you feel alive?
Can you feel the thirst?
Can you feel the light?
What have great move, at last.
This is perfect.
This is a plan.

11. In Reply

I was backed in a corner and left myself no room at all.
I let myself wide open to fear and in the end, so vulnerable.
You will take back every word you said.
Show me how to pull back from the thoughts that seem to break me apart and they hold me down.
Show me a way back to you when I’m so deep in fear and I feel there’s no escape, I can’t hear your voice but I hear....
"Can you breathe as I’m half way down your throat?
As I’m the weight that’s resting on your chest.
As I’m the pressure that’s weakening your lungs."
This feeling just keeps repeating, I know its got a hold on me.
I’ve been left alone for too long or that’s just how it seems.
Drag me out alive from this, that’s all I need right now.
And when its over, I’m over this, you will see how weak I was.
Show me how to pull back from the thoughts that seem to break me apart and they hold me down.
Show me a way back to you when I’m so deep in fear and I feel there’s no escape, I can’t hear your voice but I hear myself.
I believe we can make it,
just settle down, settle down.
I’ve got a feeling its beginning to make sense.
I’ve got a feeling that this is turning.

CONFIDE Biography 2008

 

Blaring dynamic tracks such as “Zeal” and “The Bigger Picture” it becomes evident why LA-based Christian rockers Confide exhibit the musical ingredients necessary to enthrall the masses: aggressive, bone-crushing vocals infused with chugging guitar riffs and eloquent lyrics—crafted to exquisite perfection in Science Records debut Shout The Truth.

“When we listen back to the record, it truly amazes us what we are able to produce and how happy we are with the final product,” muses bassist Billy Pruden, who rounded out by singer Ross Kenyon, drummer Arin Ilejay and guitarists Aaron Van Zutphen and Jeff Helberg, completed one of the year’s most astonishing rock albums.

Produced with the expertise of Cameron Webb (Pennywise, Silverstein, 30 Seconds To Mars) at Hurley Studio in Orange County, Calif., much of Shout The Truth was lyrically inspired by Kenyon’s hopeful outlook, in defiance of major life changes endured. “The album has a lot to do with Ross moving to the U.S. from England and the struggles he faced along the way,” Helberg says of their frontman, who, despite having established a devoted following in the U.K., was driven by faith to join Confide. “His accent in America makes peoples’ heads turn,” VanZutphen adds. “It gives us something many bands don’t necessarily have."

Shout the Truth is a fiercely solid album focused on the band’s openly heartfelt allegiance to the message of Jesus Christ, which is reflected in everything from their songwriting to how they stand as individuals. “I think when bands say they’re Christian; the world immediately throws them on a pedestal and puts them under a microscope as if they’re supposed to be this perfect entity, which we’re not,” says Pruden, shining a light of clarity to what Confide stands for. “Being a Christian isn’t about being perfect. It’s about realizing that you’re not perfect and striving to change that.” The band’s positive demeanor and adrenaline rushing live sets eventually led the five-piece to a contract with indie label Science Records, home to genre powerhouses Blessthefall and Greeley Estates. “Everyone there is so genuine, and we’re honestly friends with all of the staff,” Ilejay says. “I love the label, and we’re so thrilled to be signed to them and become part of the family.”

Confide is looking ahead to a splendid future. They have been confirmed for The Smartpunk Stage on Warped Tour 2008. “You know, it’s funny,” begins VanZutphen.”We joked about playing Warped for three years in a row and now for it to actually be a reality, blows our minds. We are so unbelievably excited!”

It is clear Confide demonstrates the best of intentions and harbors sincere loyalty towards their fans. “We want to let the kids know that we love them. The only reason we play shows is to meet them and become their friend,” Kenyon says. “We want to encourage and be there for them, however and whenever we can. That’s the whole point of this band and this project, to be there for people.”

In addition to their hearts being in the right place, with epic songs like “If We Were A Sinking Ship” and “In Reply” tucked inside Shout The Truth’s 36 minutes of stunning mayhem, it is undeniable that Confide is a breath of fresh air to a rather stagnant scene. Expect a message from Shout the Truth in summer of 2008.
