Walking Dead 03:11
We carry on the same Lives everyday We’re never looking back The cities burned to ground We’ve seen it in our minds But never realized Our lie is all the same And this is our story And I’ll rip the page out if i could Bring you back with open eyes To see this sinking ship we built won’t carry The writing's on the wall But no one sees a thing We carry on our live Oblivious and blind We rally around the herd And never speak a word It’s tearing at your skin And this is our story And I’ll rip the page out if i could Bring you back with open eyes To see this sinking ship we built won’t carry We’ll wake up someday And I’ll rip the page out if i could Bring you back with open eyes To see this sinking ship we built won’t carry

Loosing sight is this remission Bury me with my my postions Always have we strived just to deny What’s meant for me and you? A power struggle Who’s the king and who’s the martyre Gaining all and losing nothings left To thrill you at all Cosmic circumstance aside Was the beginning where we started Or we’re we to bright to see the light? I’m fading Out to dry with worse intentions Than a preacher's intuition Never mind the fact that we rely Turn a blind eye And i’ll find my way again Through the webs they spin a maze With all the things in life we try to hide Not cycling the same Routines that we all make for nothing at all

Ghosts 03:14
Little voice inside my head Telling me that there’s a reason A million reasons all the same A million stories down the drain This is the show and the curtains falling Down in the ruts where we hear the voices Don’t want to look but it’s all the same Is this the point where we all start tumbling down? In a world with no conviction Our progress is the victim Are the mines worth taking out Forget it all but it all keeps coming around Good intentions are forgotten All the dreams that we have lost And i want to feel i can turn around Before i find there is no turning back And there’s an answer to the problem We ought to know I want to feel like i can breath Want to feel like I'm not chasing ghosts Pretending to have control

Strings 01:59
“Strings hold the sadness and I hold the strings.” Back to the back locked door. Turn the key and keep repeating. Trips to liquor store. And trips to an empty bar. I can keep my pockets empty. I close my mouth to keep from breathing. But another failed attempt. Another tally mark. And still I have Well I have no hopes or goals. I can’t find my heart or soul. I just started feeling old about yesterday. And the morning I awake from the day after I made myself promise you. That I’m leaving this place. Yeah I’m leaving this place. And I wish that you would stop me but I know you know That I’m a waste. Well now the train has come and gone. But it wasn’t be here for long I’ll be down and out I’m done. Cause the truth’s elementary songs. The truth are my closing arms. We walked right up through the mess. I couldn’t talk so you addressed the problems. Now we’re feeling less. So talk to me with sleep And sleep right next to me.

Anymore 03:48
This what you sort when you’ve got nothing Right in front you I guess this is my latest disposition Where everything rolls off my chest I gave up everything To keep the map in front of me Cause i got sick of being left alone In a world of hate And I’m here to face these words today Ain’t gonna stop anymore And all I really want from you Is a mask to take off and something new To come to terms with everything that’s missing And find a perfect view Cause I can’t see the road where it’s leading But that’s ok for me I’m still bleeding And I can’t seem to shake this funny feeling That there’s a world of hope And I’m here to face that world today Ain’t gonna stop anymore And maybe this is not for you I ain’t trying to be condescending You can save your apathy And I’ll be on my way

Overrated 03:08
That’s the sound before the minority breaks Why the fuck can’t you forget about yesterday You’re not in touch with anything which begs the question Who do i have to turn to? Look in the mirror And it is clearer And you say i’m down at the bottom of the barrel And nothing's gonna change And this life is overrated And I don’t care what you have to say to me It doesn’t mean a thing And this time it’s overrated I’ve seen the scene and it is shattered 19 years ago nothing really mattered Someone had the right idea Don’t tell me that it’s a dead end We tried so hard Don’t tell me that it’s over Well it ain’t over till it’s over And you say i’m down at the bottom of the barrel And nothing's gonna change And this life is overrated And I don’t care what you have to say to me It doesn’t mean a thing And this time it’s overrated

Snap Shots 03:47
Snapshots seal our eyes as we disguise These days don’t we all need alibis Are you looking for the answer Lost in the airwaves We couldn’t hear the anthem the song seems so far away Manipulate me As i fade away For logic and truth are what’s at stake It’s painful to see this wasteland that stretches before me No refuge for anyone I guess the answer lies in me With slight of hand their convincing me That this deceptions already changed who we are Gone with the tidal waves My heart leaps right out in front of me And i leave behind what I confided in me Gone but I still believe

And I hate the way Life isn’t turning out the i thought i would be Yesterday I thought I could try But that’s just a lie we say Cause everyone sucks i know We‘re all just cynical And i don’t know why this is happening to me And I dream of days Where everything will go my way On the top of the world just one time And i don’t know why I even try to change Cause everyone sucks i know We‘re all just cynical And i don’t know why this is happening to me I’ve come undone

about

Written after the original line up disbanded. The addition of an entirely new 4 piece band and the technical skill of Rob Montabello on guitar paved the way for a darker more aggressive punk album full of face melting guitar solos.

All song were recorded at our practice spot. Never got the chance to go into a real studio in the short time this incarnation was together, but were able to pull together a fairly decent representation of the songs.
