Watch You Slip
02:27

What happened to when it meant something to you?
Feels like yesterday you said you’d always be true.
Watched you disappear. It happened so quick.
Never thought my brother would be the one to slip.
Tried my best to help you find your way.
Well time’s gone by man, you’ve been led astray.
I sit back and wonder about the time we spent.
We were once brothers but that time came and went.
NEVER THOUGHT YOU’D
Be the one to slip
NEVER THOUGHT YOU’D
Be the one to slip
What happened to when it meant something to you?
Feels like yesterday you said you’d always be true.
Watched you disappear. It happened so quick.
Never thought my brother would be the one to slip.
Tried my best to help you find your way.
Well time’s gone by man, you’ve been led astray.
I sit back and wonder about the time we spent.
We were once brothers but that time came and went.
To me straight edge still means so much.
When you lost the edge you lost my trust.
LOST MY TRUST

The Law
00:42
|
|||
|
You say you’re having fun.
I say you lost your pride.
You thought that you could run.
You thought that you could hide.
WE ARE THE LAW
You seem to have misunderstood what comes with ties of brotherhood.
You turn your back. You hide your face. it's behavior I can't embrace.
STRUCK NERVE STRAIGHT EDGE

Common Ground
01:54
|
|||
|
We all forgot about unity.
Familiar faces, but there’s no community.
Pointless cliques. No need to separate.
No new wave no old wave. Just one scene unity.
Find a way to bridge the gap, to see some common ground.
Instead of tearing each other down, where no solutions can be found.

The Way It Is
01:29
|

|
You used to front like you were always down,
But then you rode a new wave and couldn’t be found.
You tried to destroy what others have built,
Then you passed the buck and won’t acknowledge your guilt.
Get the fuck out and don’t come back.
Don’t use our scene as a fallback.
You went for glamour. You went for fame.
You fucked it up and you pass the blame.
You’ll get what’s coming - Bit off more than you could chew.
You’re in too deep and now there’s nothing you can do.
You played with fire and you’re gonna get burned.
Gotta drive home the lessons you should have learned.

$$$
01:33
|
|||
|
I look in your eyes and all I see are dollar signs.
You went too far and now I’m drawing the line.
You offer success with no sacrifice.
Offer up a shortcut, but only at a price.
DIY has gone by the wayside.
You sold your soul. You sold your pride.
Get away from me with your insincerity.
You may fool them but you ain't foolin me.
SOLD YOUR SOUL
SOLD YOUR PRIDE
Too many shows for too many bands.
You’re running our pockets while you’re shaking our hands.
You think you’re influential, but your attitude sucks.
Exploiting the scene as a way to make a buck.

Life's Too Short
01:42
|

Life’s too short to play by the rules.
Never fall in line with the sheep and the fools.
Living for myself and never for you.
Never giving in to what you want me to do.
Life’s too short to play by the rules.
Never fall in line with the sheep and the fools.
Living for myself and never for you.
Never giving in to what you want me to do.
I don’t care about power and fame,
Or getting caught up in playing your game.
I’ll keep having fun and going my pace.
And never get caught up in the rat race.
Life’s too short man, I gotta be free.
Got too much to do and too much to see.
Live every day like it’s my last.
And never get caught up in the past.

All Talk
01:59
|
|||
|
Talk and talk is all you do.
You keep moving your mouth, but nothing comes through.
You want to be heard but have nothing to say.
So shut your fucking mouth and get out of my way.
Now I’m not willing to compromise.
I’m not gonna listen to any more lies.
I don’t give a fuck what you do with your own time.
Coming around here now it’s on my dime.
YOU’RE ALL TALK
YOU’RE ALL TALK
You give nothing, but think you own the scene.
You’re the disease. We’re the vaccine.

Seeing Double
01:30
|
|||
|
I don’t care what they say
Keep that shit the fuck away from me.
Controlling thoughts in your head.
Fucking clones and mindless fucking drones.
What ever happened to nonconformity?
Now it’s a fucking mirror of society.
Fuck pop culture and fuck celebrity.
Keep that shit the fuck away from me.
Brainwashed fools convinced to fall in line.
Think for yourself and have a fucking spine.

Temporary Insanity
01:05
|
|||
|
Blind rage - I can’t think straight.
Obsessed - I can’t see through the hate
You feed the fury I thought I left behind.
Turns out it was just dormant in the back of my mind.
You crossed me once. I can’t look past.
You cross me twice? You’ll feel my wrath
I… Want… You… TO SUFFER
