A Total Nightmare

It was just like any other night Cool dark and so full of life The night sky lit by a waxing moon A waning soul that was gone too soon She came on with a force too strong just to be gone Sometimes I can't believe it's been so long Can't say goodbye She still sees you when she closes her eyes She came on with a force too strong just to be gone Sometimes I can't believe it's been so long Can't say goodbye She still sees you when she closes her eyes It was much too quiet that august evening I should have known just what it would bring It was just like any other night Except it was the night you died She came on with a force too strong just to be gone Sometimes I can't believe it's been so long Can't say goodbye She still sees you when she closes her eyes

Lying in my bed It seems so hopeless When everything we do Means nothing at all And everyone you know Has been bred to believe That their lives are incomplete Without all of these things Admire the blank stare On the countless faces Admire the silence That fills the void between My lips and your ears Where I can tell you All my fears, my faults Every guilt, Every fucked up story This is a total nightmare
3.
Yeah, it's Friday night Waited all week, all right And now it's my turn To be with you We can drive around The dead ends of this town So happy even if There's nothing to do I can't stand this place Still there's a smile on my face You make me feel So warm inside Dancing out on the sand To the same old punk rock band And our toes got Wet with the rising tide
4.
They're hiding behind Our blindfolded eyes Don't tell me that this came As a surprise He smells of cheap cologne His hands hold dirty coins On his brow beads the sweat Of a world he's destroyed Fellow citizens There's no need for truth This is what you get Who cares about couth? They function Under assumption That the lies They call their lives Will someday amount to anything You take from me, I take the fall I can tell that no one cares at all

Legacy 02:29
Am I just wasting my time When nobody thinks I'm right The wrong choice An unheard voice And I can see It's time to make my legacy And when I die What will I leave behind Shades of regret Forming my sillhouette Will I run and hide Or get to know I tried And I am not apologizing Anymore If this isnt good enough Cause we don't do this for you We don't do this for anyone We do this for us
6.
I stumble through the dark I never find my way Where my heart belongs Is never where it stays Over of the years As low as it lies I've come to see That my faith has grown eyes Eyes that don't see you Anymore They've only come to see What used to be... I want to see so clearly The water splashing on my face The fog drifts around Leaving me smiling Leaving me spinning And now I'm left to wonder How many days and awful nights Have I been living this life And let me tell you now I'm so sick of questioning every single fucking thing And now the bones are standing up The population screaming peace But, we're not all at war Just the ones who breathe I want to see so clearly The water splashing on my face The fog drifts around Leaving me smiling Leaving me spinning
7.
Yeah, it's Saturday night And I think I just might tell you I can't wait To see you again Show up around 8 I guess it's kinda like a date Your mom says hi to me I go sit on your bed Has it been an hour? You're still in the shower Don't hear the water stop My mind's on something new And as your smell comes through the air I'll run my fingers through your hair I wish that I wasn't scared To tell you I'm in love with you

Crucified 02:50
From this moment Consider me nothing, Nothing at all. And I dont want to hear you laughing As I'm nailed to this cross. For all the times you turned your back on me, And left me for dead. Dramatize every note. Scrutinize every lyric. Try to find out what it is about you That makes me sick. Analyze every thought, Criminalize everything I do. But just keep listening to this song About you. Does it make it any better? The damage is unknown. The next time you want The best of both worlds. Just leave me alone. For all the white lies through your yellow teeth Left in my head. Dramatize every note. Scrutinize every lyric. Try to find out what it is about you That makes me sick. Analyze every thought, Criminalize everything I do. But just keep listening to this song About you
9.
You reach out for me There's nowhere to hide But how can you be here When I'm this alone inside And I am truly sorry That you never knew Exactly who I was Or what I meant to you And what I want to know right now Is what I'll never see Because I'll never know just how You were without me And I think that you could possibly be The best and worst thing that happened to me And if I could take back anything I'd take back almost everything
10.
I'm just trying to give you space Cause I feel like I did something wrong But how much space becomes just Stringing me along Someone draw me a map Cause I can't see Explain it to me again Just want you want from me I'm standing here alone And I won't make a move Until you tell me What to do I'm just trying to give you Everything you want And if you don't want me here Then I'm gone I can pinpoint the moment in time When I screwed all of this up I'm sorry, I didn't Mean to fall in love I'm standing here alone And I won't make a move Until you tell me What to do

What Is Mine 03:20
Sitting in my room The radio turned up The tv turned down I swear the cartoons sing to me I know what they're saying It's not what I wanna hear The sound it moves right through me Filling me with fear Fear of the unknown Cause what I don't know can hurt me Like it's hurt me before And I'm trying to make up For my mistakes And I'm trying to wake up But I dont have what it takes I don't know how I'll make it now Without You around me Sitting in my room Staring out the window Everything's so quiet For a moment I live a still life Abstractions in my head And all your good intentions Have sentenced me to death So wave your fucking torches Watch me as I go Was it meant to be Maybe I'll never know There's no need to remind me I remember how it feels I know what it's like to be The victim of betrayal I don't know how I'll make it now Without You around me
12.
It's a daunting task I'll hit rock bottom And keep going down This much I ask Pull yourself up Before you drown Making a break But which way Do I go? What path I'll take I'm not sure But I know Challenge lies ahead It'll take every thread Of fiber in my being But I've made up my mind I'm gonna do it again Fucked over by girls and friends Starting over (Gonna do it right this time) Starting over (Gonna do it right this time)

about

With this record we tried to mix the sounds of new school punk with the old 70's progressive sound of bands like Pink Floyd, Manfred Mann, and The Steve Miller Band. This is the final product. If you are a fan of those styles, you will notice a lot of small homages to those older bands, but still staying true to the punk sound we've played and loved for years. Thanks for checking it out, and we hope you enjoy it. Make sure you listen to them in order, we took special care to engineer the record to sound like one solid song for each side. Side A is tracks 1-6 and Side B is 7-12.
