Sundial

Time is of the essence, slipping like sand through the crossed cones of time
Time stops for no one
But in the present, we pay for our past
And I refuse to kneel
To the one that makes me impuissant
But the weight put on my shoulders, is about to drag me down
And there’s no precipice to hold, as I begin to drown.
Drown in dryness (2x)
Drink the dust, swallow the dirt
You clasp your throat, this sundial hurts
Whirlwinds cause a storm outside, but you can’t take the thorn from your side (2x)
With pleasure, comes pain
But you cannot stop the rain
Tears cascade down my face, my heart beats at a rapid pace
And my palms begin to sweat, as this clenched fist is coming towards your head
Feel the impact, feel the blood
End they dryness with this flood
No more drowning in dryness for you
Drink to your death in your pogrom pool
The sundial takes another life
I grab my throat, there’s no relief in sight
My hand is stained a red, a blood red hue
The sundial has taken me from you.

One Too Many Times
03:04

This time I won’t look back
No regrets, no feedback
One too many times, you played with my head
One too many times, you shook my hand and then fled
One too many times, I put my trust in you
And one too many times, that trust I gave fell right through
One too many times, too long
You took me for granted
I was too blind to see the wrong
How could I be so naïve
I let you just spin my head
Now people are laughing at me instead
So now it’s time
To leave you behind
No longer shut these eyes and let myself be blind
Now that I see the hurt you caused me
So, now I break these chains and set myself free
Came to your last straw
And you pushed me over the line
So, tell your new-found friends
They’ve laughed at me for the last time
Because revenge is mine
I will bring my respect
And bring it back in full
I will gain mine, I will (2X)
I will gain mine, my revenge.
This time I won’t look back
No regrets, no feedback

Breathe The Fire
03:27

|
Darkness, it’s surrounding me
Blinded, by faith I cannot see
Destruction, set forth from me to you
Pleasure, in the pain I put you through
Mirror reflects the soul
As purification takes hold
Heart pierced by stone
That no one has thrown
Clouds begin to break
Look to the sky, it turning black
My feet begin to sink
For the faith that I lack
These four walls, were all I ever knew
Never caring, to look up and receive you (2x)
Breathe the fire

'91

It was the spring of our lives
Back in ‘91
The zines, bands, and shows
Back when we were young
It served as our guide
They were our true North Star
Just look where they’ve led us
We’ve come so far
I’m holding on
Holding on to memories
You taught us
What’s right and what’s wrong
And brought us to our friends
Turntables and skate decks
Joy with no end
The essence of youth
Found in this energy
Clenched fist, raised, sing with me
Our lives have changed
Our lives have changed, but you remain
You remain
Cinderblock, bringing it down
I’m holding on to memories
Essence of youth and energy
Clenched fist, raised, sing with me
Our lives have changed, but you remain
Essence of youth and energy
Clenched fist, raised, set me free

House Of Pain
02:46

One hit
Is all that it takes for you to
Destroy
The beautiful life that you brought in to
This world
How can you be so callous?
To beat down the one who’s done you no wrong
Tunnel vision
House of Pain
Conflict resolved
It means nothing to you
Discourse
Shift the blame, justification
The pain
In your mind, it’s for the better
To beat down the one who’s done you no wrong
But you’re the one
You’re the one to blame
They thought they were at fault
Bruised and broken they felt so ashamed
But you’re the one
You’re the one to blame
One hit
Is all that it takes for you to
Destroy
The beautiful life that you brought in to
This world
How can you be so callous?
To beat down the one who’s done you no wrong
Tunnel vision
House of Pain

Samsara
03:12

|
eclusion
Hate, fear
It brings, it brings to my knees
Down
And I can’t break the chain
No key
Can someone help me
Free
Slave
To what I feel I need
And we take
The more we take, the more it breaks
And we take
And we take, without willing to give
How my half lives
Without willing to give
How my half lives
One life
All our possessions
Giving me, giving me
All these false impressions
But tomorrow it brings destruction
And all I had, it turns to nothing
So, now I’m left
With none to hold
And all I had
It turns to cold
It turns to cold
Samsara

A friend with a reliably fine musical taste posted this album on FB and I wasn't disappointed. Love the guitar sound and the passionate vocals (melodic enough to not pass as screamo or whatever). Punk rock spirit yet with a lot of dynamics (definitely a yes to the Dischord reference) and compact songs that won't leave your head for a long time. Many many great tunes on here but for the moment USMA and Lay Low have to be my favorites! Great band, very happy to have found them!
