Lyrics:
I'm sinking, I'm sinking
I don't know what the hell I was thinking
My past mistakes are draped in my shame
I never thought I'd be in my twenties
Hoping desperately to amount to something
Marking down the days
Will these things ever change?
Or will they stay the same?
So here I am
With my heart in my hands
Searching for the chance
To be something more
I fear that it's gone
And I've tried my best to hold on
But I'm slipping now
With no one to catch me
My heart beats in time
With the sound, with the sound
A ticking clock constantly counting down
I never dreamed I'd be in my twenties
A hole in my chest that left me with nothing
Old memories up in flames
Only myself to blame
Can you remember the day?
When we told ourselves
That we would never be like them
Another spoke on a wheel of bullshit
I promised you
That there was way more to life than this
I swear I tried so hard
Can't believe it's all falling apart
I fought to get this far
Only to fail, only to fail
So here I am
With my heart in my hands
Searching for the chance
To be something more
I fear that it's gone
And I've tried my best to hold on
But I'm slipping now
With no one to catch me
I've tried so hard
To feel just like I used to
I'd rather feel this pain
Than nothing at all
I've fought so hard
To try and break the cycle
A failure I'm forced to meet
Each and every day

[@bigjammie33]

I can! It’s this one lmfao

[@bitwxlegendz1420]

The lyrics to this song are so deep. They perfectly described how my brother feels his life in his 20's has gone. He has had many low points, all while being heavily depressed. It's a miracle he is still with us today, and I am very grateful for that alone. I sent him this song and he was very emotional after hearing it. This song has became one of his all-time favorites. After hearing this version I immediately sent it to him. This acoustic version manages to capture all the energy and emotion of the original and absolutely blew me away. I cannot wait for new music down the line as I know it'll be incredible if its from you guys!

[@DailyScratcher]

How is your brother doing a year later?

[@crazysniper65]

This so also save me too from my depression and to think I almost ended all. Still depressed but not to the point where I’m thinking of ended it.

[@bitwxlegendz1420]

@@DailyScratcher Honestly, not the best. I haven't seen him in a while, he went down the wrong path once again and is still heavily depressed with alcohol being his only remedy for himself. Wish I could have said he was doing much better....

Couple years these guys are going to be one of the top metal bands in the game. So much potential here.

We hope this is true! Until then, the grind continues! Thanks so much for the support ❤🤘

[@mamoosh_kllnwpn]

@@HollowFrontOfficial i'll sup the shit out of this band if you keep making songs like still life , this song touched me waaay deeper than i thought , im listening to this everyday ever since the release of your album.. it's just so accurate about substance abuse and fucked up pasts

[@jdbruiser]

These guys absolutely deserve recognition, but unfortunately if they became too popular they'd possibly start making generic stuff to get more attention. I sincerely hope this will never be the case, because often times the most meaningfully produced music is under the radar.

[@theuninspiredlife657]

Those screams make this acoustic version absolute

[@HollowFrontOfficial]

We wanted to keep some of the original in there, so screams definitely needed to be in there. Thanks for watching! ❤🤘

"A ticking clock constantly counting down I never dreamed I'd be in my twenties A hole in my chest that left me with nothing Old memories up in flames Only myself to blame" This part fucking killed me. I relate to it so much.

Wow.....skipped this for like 40 plays, glad I clicked it. Still Life has been a soundtrack for a minute, because of that energy. Couldn't imagine it being there in an acoustic version. It was there. Damn good job, guys.

[@HollowFrontOfficial]

Thanks alot man! We're glad we didn't disappoint! We just wanted to do something fun and different and "Still Life" was best suited for the job!

[@jeremiahwittenbach3331]

I have known the singer Tate since highschool, been watching him in bands since then. Crazy to see where some of these musicians from po-dunk Ionia have made it. The guitarist from one of his first bands is now blue grass phenon Billy Strings.

[@tylertatesucks]

Jeremiah Wittenbach thanks so much dude! It was really great seeing you out and about the other day. Appreciate you keeping up with my music! Much love man

[@tylertatesucks]

Thanks so much dude! We're really trying our hardest to get there. It's not easy, but we appreciate it that much more, I think.

[@adecakaship2486]

So sad that the pop culture is so judgemental and think everything that surrounds metalcore, hardcore, deathcore and post-hardcore, is about drugs and the devil like it has been for years for anything related to metal. Stereotypes affect those genre that have so much to offer, there’s some of the most talented artists in this community.

[@HollowFrontOfficial]

Appreciate the kind words. Thanks so much for watching! Unfortunately the world has a very skewed image of metal and all of it's subgenres. And as dumb as that is, in the end it doesn't matter what they think or say about us. We know what we stand for and what the music means to us.

[@HoboCharnas]

@@HollowFrontOfficial you guys are honestly gonna make it huge also Tyler man way to kill it on those cleans

[@niklasn6299]

fuck the normies, i am happy we got this great music for ourself.

[@MoZ1899]

agree. i've always been judged by people around me, even my own family for enjoying metal. i mean who are they to judge me. i've never used any drugs, never ever had any suicidal thoughts and i've never worship anything related to satan or something like that. i'm just a normal lad who likes a genre that's not as mainstream as those edm things, i happen to like everything in black. like almost all of my belongings are colored black. being in the community for so long makes me feel like that metal isn't all about screaming or delivering the roughest songs in the world. those guys always deliver the best songs melodically and lyrically. they can even play the other genres with ease. that proves that metal musicians are overwhelmingly talented. when the most musics in 2018 are all about happiness, party and sex, metal is there saving so many lives with its deep lyrics. i even listen to Architects' "Hereafter" literally every morning just to remind myself that my dad is up there watching me while i'm down here spending the rest of my life without him. thank you, Architects as well as Tom Searle. you've reminded me that death is just a new beginning, even though we'll be fighting with broken bones for the rest of our lives after losing people that we truly love, we have to and we will carry the weight with all we had until we reach the top of the mountain
