about

This song is dedicated to Christian Harsha and his friends and family.

lyrics

It was a dark December morning I was wasted at your bench
On the first anniversary of your death
I poured some out and tried to comprehend
I'm sorry that the last few years I wasn't a friend
If it wasn't for you I might not be in this place
You took me in the scene gave me a place to put my rage
Wish that I could relive those crusty Art Lab days
Changed my life while you were here and when you went away

Life's too short to let your hate drive
For me to learn this lesson I wish you didn't have to die
Because I can't change the past and I can't bring you back
So I'll have to settle for screaming at the sky.

Unresolved feelings I know won't go away
It's nobody's fault yeah, that's what they say
Because we all got bad habits flowing through our veins
Just a matter of how dangerous a game you like to play
Life is coming down on all of us one at a time
So why am I not doing nothing better with mine
Is this what happens when punks have to grow up?
We don't know how to and then we get stuck?

We spent our adolescence like an endless weekend
Then one Monday morning some of us woke up dead
Bottled up our feelings with a hundred proof stamp
Now all we've got to show is empty pockets, hearts, and hands

So I may not change the world
(Truth be told)
But I can probably change mine
(I'm afraid to really start)
But I've got to do it soon
(But I'm gonna try real hard)
Because i"m running out of time
(To walk on with and open heart)

I got to the party late, but boy am I glad I made it. This album meets, exceeds and challenges all sonic and writing expectations one has of a punk album; poetry set to punk. Definitely the most punk thing I've heard this year. CMRuppert12
