THANK YOU’S:

Ian - To my amazing fiancé, Jennifer Boren, for being my rock and my support system. For being the inspiration to keep creating music and pursuing my passion. For being my ride or die. No matter what, you are there for me and I couldn't be more thankful. I would not be able to do any of this without your inspiration and your positive attitude towards my musical career. I love you babe! NO BANANAS! To my Dad, William Archer, for the push in the beginning to get me playing guitar after that Van Halen concert. Been a crazy musical ride. The ONLY reason I am a musician is because of YOU, Dad. Thank you, and I love you so much. To my mom, Tina McLain and my step Dad, Ron McLain, y’all have definitely had such a great inspiration in so many aspects of life. Thank you and I love you. To all of my family and friends that have supported me in any way. I can’t say enough to the fact that I would not be the person I am today without y’all! Oh, and Mary Jane. Where the real inspiration lies!! LOL To all of my fans/friends out there are who have supported me throughout my career, you are the best i could ever ask for and this single is for all of you.

HERO IN ME thanks:
SkyView Studios for all of the hard work to get this sounding the best it could and for the production of this single. Couldn’t ask for a more smooth and rewarding process. AMAZING WOULD BE PUTTING IT LIGHTLY.
ESP Guitars, Ibanez basses, Superior Drummer, Line6 HELIX, Audio-Technica, SHURE, Dunlop Picks, D’Addario Strings. Matt Caskitt, without you, this name and band wouldn’t have started or manifested into what it is today. Kaleo James, the amount of writing we did for the very first few tracks of "heroinme" won’t soon be forgotten. Joe Hurtado, none of the Austin era of this band would’ve been possible without you. Anthony Stevenson from Come And Take It Productions for giving the first incarnation of this live project a voice. To all past members, Ace, Jimmy, Rene, Colton, Poopie, Richie, Chris, and Bentley, thank you for your hard work towards this machine in all the capacity that you could and did.
Peter Amirato at RiotScene, SET AFLAME, OF HEARTS AND SHADOWS, WOLFWAKER, HARD HOME, SECONDS AGO, ASCENSIONS, A PERFECT BEING, DEFY THE TYRANTS. DEAD LIKE YOU, SLUGGER AND HIS IRATE LIFE, THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE PUSH TO DO THIS ON MY OWN. LOYALTY OVER VANITY.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, TO ANYONE THAT WAS TOLD THEY WEREN’T GOOD ENOUGH AND THAT THEY WOULDN’T AMOUNT TO ANYTHING. THIS SINGLE IS FOR YOU. DON’T EVER LET ANYONE TELL YOU WHAT YOU ARE WORTH OR WHAT YOU CAN/CAN’T DO.




Your mistakes
Are coming back to hunt you,
There's nowhere left to hide.
So here you are now,
You're at it again,
You're just a waste of skin.
Here you are now,
At at at it again,
You're just a waste of skin.

Disgrace
of the human race.
Is it easy to sleep in
This bed you've made?

With no place to call your own,
You're all alone.
With no place to call your own,
You're all alone.
If you live your life,
As if everything little thing's about you,
You'll be left alone in the darkness.
Just you.
You'll be on your own.

All is not forgiven,
Your transgressions have led you here.
All is not forgiven,
Your transgressions have led you here.
When your world starts caving in,
"Who's to blame?"
Just look within.
I hope you choke on every word you speak.

Is it easy to sleep in
This bed you've made?

With no place to call your own,
You're all alone.
With no place to call your own,
You're all alone.
If you live your life,
As if everything little thing's about you,
You'll be left alone in the darkness.
Just you.
You'll be on your own.

With no place to call your own,
You're all alone.
With no place to call your own,
You're all alone.

Is it easy to sleep in
This bed you've made?
Is it easy to sleep in
This bed you've made?

You did this to yourself,
You're all alone.

You're on your own.
When your world starts caving in,
"Who's to blame?"
Just look within.
You're all alone.
