Habitual Line-Stepper Lyrics

We walked the line
Living in a state of mind controlled by a tyrant
Mistakes burn
Never did he learn to back off and spit that shit
I'm that motherfucker picking in your old brain and stealing sleep
Take the dive or keep it alive?
Now it's on you

Your tower is falling down into a black hole
Take it away
Take it away now
The agony is crumbling over your soul
Take it away
Take it away now

I'd like to take the prize of your high and jam it deep down your throat
They're caling for the stage to take their breath away
You were barricading man
They're calling for the stage to give everything away
You were the barricading man

Your tower is falling down into a black hole
Take it away
Take it away now
The agony is crumbling over your soul
Take it away
Take it away now

Lost in the violent throes of this separation
Done waiting on pleasant times
Never arrived
Done waiting on pleasant times
They never arrived
Lost in the violent throes of this separation
Know what you're waiting for?
Watch them burn your home
I felt insane, but It's finally come home to me
My dear brain, HATE
Feel HATE
Let go of all your fear

Your tower is falling down into the black hole
You were the barricading man
Your tower is falling down into the black hole
You were the barricading man

They're calling for the stage to take their breath away
You were the barricading man
They're calling for the stage to give everything away
You were the barricading man

(Show us the way)
Your tower is falling down into the hole
(Show us the way)
The agony is pouring over your damn soul
(Show us the way)
Was there a way to be a better man and stay?
(Show use the way)
Was there a way?
We'll never know
(Show us the way)
Come on, come on will you show to us?
(Show us the way)
Show us the way
(Show us the way)
Was there a way to be a better man and stay?
(Show us the way)
Was there a way?
We'll never know

Periphery is an American progressive metal band from Bethesda, Maryland, formed in 2005.

History
Formation and Lineup Changes (2005 - 2009)
Periphery was formed by guitarist Misha Mansoor in 2005. He slowly gained a reputation on the Internet, primarily via a regularly-updated Soundclick account, Meshuggah and John Petrucci forums, and the sevenstring.org message boards. Before and during Periphery's tenure in the metal scene, Mansoor developed a reputation for doing his own audio production, the majority of which was performed with a home computer and a Pod XT during this period. Mansoor has continued to update his personal project, Bulb, which preceded Periphery, often transferring songs between the two projects. Mansoor continues to be involved in a number of other musical projects.

Between 2005 and 2009, Periphery worked with vocalists Jake Veredika, Casey Sabol and Chris Barretto, gradually moving from a nu metal-influenced sound to a more experimental style, with a focus on innovative production. In 2009, the band announced via their MySpace blog that they had signed a one record deal with Sumerian Records, on which they would release their debut full-length album.

Periphery has toured extensively since 2008, supporting artists including DevilDriver, Emmure, Veil of Maya, Animals as Leaders, God Forbid, The Dillinger Escape Plan and Fear Factory.

Spencer Sotelo and Self-titled Debut (2010 onward)

In January 2010, Sumerian and Periphery set the release of the band's self-titled debut album to April 20, 2010, set to be distributed by Sumerian Records in the United States, Distort Records in Canada and Roadrunner Records in Australia and the rest of the world. On January 20, 2010, amid swirling speculation that they had changed vocalists again, Periphery uploaded an album sampler featuring vocals by Spencer Sotelo, who was later announced to be Periphery's new vocalist. The band later clarified via their MySpace blog that the split with Barretto had not been acrimonious. Barretto continues to sing in metal band Haunted Shores, a project composed of Mansoor and Mark Holcomb. On April 8, 2010, Periphery posted a new track, "Insomnia" on their Myspace page, as well as announced a tour of Australia in support of The Dillinger Escape Plan.

Periphery (2010)

Periphery released their self-titled debut album, Periphery, through Sumerian Records on April 20th, 2010. It debuted at #128 on the Billboard Top 200[1], as well as #2 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart
