Is this oppression?
Or obsession?
With a life that I can't come to terms with?
Is this karma?
Or is it payback?
All from some unknown resentment?
Cause I just want to know myself.
Oh I just want to love myself.
Like an addict to a vein I want something to
blind me from the emptiness and pain.
So what's the point to all this mess?
{I} Want a face worth shaving,
{I} Want a soul worth saving.
I keep an arms length
distance from my lovers cause my father.
You know what he made me.
I'll never be set free.
And can you really tell me that
you know the person you lie in bed with?
All their secrets when they feel pathetic?
And it's our hope to feel that close
I try [x4] and I don't!
Everybody wants to believe
that their life is really filled with meaning.
When will I be free?
I wish I could, wish I could say everything
that I feel without judging.
Who I was in my eyes
cause then I just might disguise.
Speak with honesty, set my own heart free.
Just like I said before
is it worth even keeping score?
Cause everything that I ever did was a miss. (Take!)
I really wish that I was better than this.
I still want something that I probably won't get.
It doesn't matter who you are at the start.
It matters who you are when everything falls apart.
I live my life like I'm going to hell.
So when I get there I won't feel like I fell.
From heights, through the lights.
At least I'll know what just hit me.
A simple point, a simple fact
that I can't take my words with me.

Whose Gonna Want Me Now?

One, two, fuck you!
I hear the city sky alive
with cast iron vultures.
Screaming tirelessly
"you never did what you wanted."
It's all in my head
like a soundtrack. I'm haunted
by all the "what ifs"
by the missed chances.
From a drunken kiss
that could have been my ticket.
From that someone who cared
or that someone that dared.
Look inside this boy
and saw something worth repair.
Been beaten by all of my bad decisions!
It leaves the bottle
stuck to my lips like ribbons.
I'm a present
that should never be given.
I hope I'm history.
I hope I'm never re-written.
What does Jesus Christ know about redemption?
Cause who the fuck is gonna want me now?

Where did you go?
So far from everything I know. (I know.)
Leaving no room to grow.
Where did you go?
So far from everything I know.
(Where did you go?)
I watch you ruin
everything good in my life.
Live in the moment and you'll see.
(Wake up wake up it's time to be!)
Everything that you want and need.
(Wake up wake up it's time to be!)
I'm caught in the past
now it's my time to stand.
I've got no home.
I've got no plan.
(Wake up wake up!)
Shut up.
Just leave it here
upon deaf ears.
The ones who fall away,
we fall. (We fall.)
It wasn't like this,
it wasn't at all.
Where did you go?
So far from everything I know.
(Where did you go?)
I am blessed by error.
I am blind by love.
[x2]
Live in the moment and you'll see.
(Wake up wake up it's time to be!)
Everything that you want and need.
(Wake up wake up it's time to be!)
I was caught in the past
now it's my time to stand.
I've got no hope.
I've got no plan.
(I've got no plan!)
I'll sail this ship across the sea.
In ritual waves of misery.
I find myself alone tonight.
Find myself without a light.
I've always been a tragedy
a fucking waste of everything.
I hate myself.
I hate my fucking self.

2012 was a great year. Still come back to this EP quite often, pure nostalgia for my youth. Thanks for the memories, Crooks.

Berkely duo Axe serve up four catchy, heavy synth-punk rippers inspired by campy horror flicks and old-school heavy metal.

Rotate the Mirror
by Silent Era
Oakland band Silent Era's sound is a killer mix of classic hardcore and NWOBHM. On their second LP, they're especially urgent and anthemic.

Three songs from this raucous New Zealand group that prove punk still has teeth and isn’t afraid to lunge and bite.

Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long. RIP, Phil
