Birth 01:03
We are the anguished and the deceitful, The lost ones with no purpose in life God forgive me cause I've veered astray, Now my actions speak out of spite. I know they say, that you were made for something more than this, your life fading fast than that wine stain that's dried upon your dress. Girl leave it to you to try and teach me things that I could never learn. Girl leave it to you to try to guide me wrong, at every turn

I swore that I would never speak of you or how it began Now here I go making the same mistake again again Champagne wine, and all the other finer things in life I won't let you bring me down, no not this time I never thought that I'd be one to fall For such a pretty face, I lost my pace I guess I couldn't stay away It's the things you do That I will never understand Girl you drive me insane, forget my name, you're so good at this teasing game It's girls like you, who makes boys like us, the hopeless romantics, who just weren't enough. Feel your heart sink faster See the things I can't show you Feel the earth beneathe crumble Watch my heart burst apart again Take control leave behind the pain Lost in A mind set Of the Less fortunate See me Lose control And bury You in the floor I never thought that I'd be one to fall For such a pretty face, I lost my pace I guess I couldn't stay away Girl It's the things you do That I will never understand you drive me insane, forget my name, you're so good at this teasing game You'll deceive, me again, and again, won't you now I won't, fall for,your tricks, anymore You keep, telling your, self that, you have changed But the, truth is, your a, lying bitch Lies after lies You won't change

With every step you take you leave behind Every last bit of decent you could find I'm not standing here preaching my mind This Is where hate crosses the line Fortresses, kingdoms, walls built with vanities Reasons become hate when friends turn to enemies. Presence is anything, anything but ordinary When these walls, between us, begin to vary. Fortune favors, those who can see Not with their eyes, but with a beacon of clarity. Oh, generosity Your promises of a revolution Based off a dream of restitution Consumed by fires let's burn as one Consumed by desire lets wait till... Wait till! The blind learn to see Wait till! Till its hard to breathe Wait till! Your heart no longer beats Wait till! You can admit defeat Oh please, oh please listen to me Oh see, see what I see. Oh leave, leave with decency Oh please, please listen to me With indecency, follows humane Actions of infidelity. Action speak, louder then words Words dont exist when the air in your lungs Fills with hate, a lust of desire A pretentious act, we've come to admire Hey artist, where is your great creation? Painting these wall red won't bring you peace. Hey artist, where is your great creation Painting these walls red won't bring you peace.

False Ties 04:21
Father! I can't see What I've become, what is reality? I am, a testament, of simple minds, of lost times I've fought, way too hard To lose this, all Promises and structured politics A deadly combination of favorite sins The fall of true creation In the eyes of temptation Eyes closed and hands are tied Feeding lifeless, endless lies Where is your motivation? To act out, of desperation Over again, you're only sinking deeper Try and catch your breath as the waves are crashing in Pull your weight, all we do is point our fingers, All these problems never resolved them Holding on to false ties. I, can't , begin, to realize, All, the mistakes, that you, create. With fear come countless meaning To find a way to over come The roads always changing Hoping we would lose our way What makes you think that I Would give up this fight What makes you think that I Would forsaken what's right What makes you so right After I tried and tried To feel so alive To be perfect To be perfect Over again, you only sinking deeper Try and catch your breath, as the waves are crashing in Pull your weight, all we do is point our fingers, All these problems never resolved them Holding on to false ties. With endless sense I begin To learn to live with patience With endless faith I begin To learn to forgive What, is the meaning of this? You are a worthless pest. You are a disease.

Relapse 02:22
Bitch You always told me that we would last And that he was a thing of the past Twice in a row this has happened to me My heart was locked and I gave you the key Everything I gave away Not asking for anything back I hope you find another man Cause I'm done with you Hey there miss why has it come to this? Dear bitch Let go of it take over it Feel it Eat you alive you'll surely die

about

This is the first EP and musical release for the band Friends as Enemies recorded with Allen Simpson at Mesmerize Recording Studios. As a special thanks to you guys, we've also included an alternate album art idea we had before our final idea was made AND a copy of the artwork along with our logo!

We've poured our heart and soul into this and after countless hours of restructuring, rewriting, and rerecording, we give you this. The name Believer was chosen after one particular member was going through a rough patch in his life and signifies a "belief" of a new beginning. Friends as Enemies does not align itself with a certain religious belief due to the multiple religious views and respects of each member.

Friends as Enemies is Amit Lal on Vocals and Screams, Ricky Bjork on Guitar, Cooper Nitschke on Guitar, Henry Boyd on Bass and Vocals, and Daniel Ayers on Drums, Percussion, and Growls.

Both the logo and EP art were drawn by Josh Mason: www.facebook.com/JoshMasonDesign?fref=ts

Ricky: Firstly, I dedicate this EP and everything I've poured into this band to Michael Mendy and Jessica Fladung. Rest in peace. I would like to thank my mom and father, without them I could have never had anything I have now and I would also like to thank all those who gave me inspiration for the lyrics of one song and idea of the overall EP. Also to those who support local bands, you rock.

Daniel: I want to thank my parents for supporting my dream and for pushing me to become a better person. Without them I would have never gotten into music. Also thank you to anyone that comes out to local shows; you're awesome.

Amit: I would like to thank my family, friends, fans, and future fans. A special thanks to my friends who have been with me since the beginning. I've gone from jamming in dorm rooms and on roof tops to big stages. Thank you for always being there.

Cooper: First and foremost I would like to thank my bandmates AKA my best friends, I couldn't ask for better people to be in a band with. I'd also like to thank my friends and family; their support is what made me strive to work harder for this band and I appreciate that more than anything. I'd also like to thank the few fans we have right now, it means so much to have people supporting us already... stick with us; we promise we won't disappoint! Last but not least I would like to thank yoga pants for being awesome. Thank you, come again.

Henry: I'd like to thank my good friends in this band, as well as my friends and family and anyone who has come out to a show or listened to this EP.
