"Hey guys,
We just read ourselves that Andy and Alex left the band, they did in fact leave but this happened a couple months ago. We've been touring for months without them, everything is fine and Just Surrender is in no way breaking up. We're actually about to announce our tour dates for September / October as well as a UK tour for November. We're currently auditioning new members. Come check us out on Warped tour this weekend!

New Declaration
Just Surrender Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since we found the evidence
Your time is running out to plea-bargain
I'll throw more than a book at you
It doesn't matter what you say or do
You're sinking faster than your breathing
This is the new declaration
Stand your ground and prove yourself to me
This is your new inspiration
The new sound keeping you anxious
Grab your seat and dine with the enemy
You thought you could break the mold
Another day with the lies you told
But you're the only one believing
I know you think you'll walk away
What's that you forgot to say?
I'm listening so closely won't you repeat it
This is the new defecation
Keeping you anxious
Just keep your patience
This is the new defecation
We'll keep you anxious
(You won't dictate)
(We won't listen)
(We have lost all our patience)
