Cast in Shadows

Every day is night, walk into the light
Months of darkness, months of rain, months of cold
As I wait, under the grey sky
Rays of light, puncture through
It warms the skin, I take, it all in
Embrace the sun, before the darkness comes again
Live under clouds, the cold seeps in, creeps in your mind
Hope for light, it comes back every year

Forget

The time it takes to learn, is more time than it takes to forget
The time I took to get where I’m at, I’ll never get back
Forget the people that doubted me, told me give up, did not believe
Told me to sellout all the things I love
They must be confused of, where I come from
I will walk, until my feet bleed
I will climb, the tallest trees
And so what if I fall, get back up
And I’ll move from a crawl, get back up, run again

Cold Call

Grateful, an understatement
Gratitude, never enough
Everyday actions have, cause and effect
It will always shape me, it will always haunt me
Think about your random act of kindness, gives me hope
For humanity, on my darkest days
Cold call
To show gratitude
One year passed
One year I wouldn’t have
Thank you for your time
Thank you for your time
Thank you for your time
Thank you for a life

Only to Hide
01:55
|

I find comfort in knowing, do you find it in make believe
In pretend, ignore the truth, that surrounds you
Choosing lies, choose what feels best
I can’t ignore, I can’t pretend, can’t lie, to myself
Turn a blind eye to what’s in front of you
When you push it away, push it down inside
To keep from surfacing, only to hide
Everything is eating us, from the inside, from the outside in
We are being poisoned, physically and from the mind
I can’t lie, I won’t lie to myself

By a thread
We are tied
We’re entwined
How did we unwind
I’ve studied books on knots, wish I could find the strongest one
grab both ends of that thread tight with my teeth and hand
Because I miss you, because we’ve been estranged
I no longer see myself in you, probably feel the same
They say distance makes the heart grow fonder
But I feel like I can no longer relate
We can’t communicate
Both born stubborn, both to choose our own path
As we move, in different directions
As our threads become too tight
As we lose that deep connection
By a thread
We are tied
We’re entwined
As we unwind

Awe of a Myth

You think it’s bad now, it only gets worse
You cheered yourselves on,
as you stood in awe of a myth
Thought you were counting cards, you thought, you had the house fooled
As you hold your breath so sure, you pass the test, you stood in awe of a myth
I’m not shocked and I’m not surprised
While you said you were building,
and gaining ground
Told to wait and, see in time
As the mirage, in the sand
disappears with time
You feel justified to describe, your loss as a win
As rejection of self reflection
is off the table
All cards will just blow, blow in the wind
Pat yourselves on the back, but don’t look me in the eyes
You say you tried your best when we all know, you have nothing to show
Nothing was gained
Nothing of real substance, nothing really changed
The house always wins when you’re playing their game
They’re trained to win and paid to win

This is maybe my favorite release of the year. It’s hardcore perfection, simple and driving. It sounds absolutely perfect on vinyl.

This veteran squad brings both raging crusty anti-war riffs like Tragedy and singalong pop hooks like Hot Water Music.

So stoked to have the rest of the output of this amazing and too short lived band! What a powerhouse they were. I feel very fortunate to have seen them once. It was a great show.
