(Decent Atempt)
Living Dead Romance (Bubba C.)
dead of night, nothing much’s dead at all
waiting here with you in disbelief
hear my heart as it pounds and speaks the truth:
when there's no more room in hell,
the dead will walk the earth
your dead and gone though it seems not
i loved you so i’ll walk away
they say your soul’s eternally damned
please just save me from this pain
wake up to the massacre
wake up to the living dead
they are eating my mom
make a dash for the door
and get the fuck out of here
i’m alive for now
i’ve gotta find a girl
i’ve gotta find a gun
have a living dead romance
gotta get out of this mall

(eighty-eight was just a number)
Crescent Moon (Bubba C.)
i believe in the alignment of the stars and all that shit,
but nothing explains just how i feel under the crescent moon light.
it seems just like paradise as i eat your dead baby. fucking go!



.lyrics


Broken Home (Thomas R.)
eyes drowned in your tearing words
too young to see what’s ahead
first contact
i should’ve left
i can’t believe you did it again
black eye bloody nose
tears run down my face
do you even know how it fuckin taste

Brick Wall With No Spine (Thomas R.)
take me for example
i bleed just like you
whether or not you have noticed
i one from a handful
i bleed just like you
disregard this heart
throw it in my face
put your feet in my shoes
standing in this awkward space
i bleed just like you
not the shy one anymore
your popular

Makeshift Lovelife (Bubba C.)
our hearts beated together
my true love
we felt the same
problems we had
my faults caused decay
i’m too insecure
this situation was not met before
the impossible is what i asked for
you were all i had
i dealt with the problems in all the wrong ways
made you claustrophobic with my special mix
of obsession and jealousy, ya real funny
the joke is i wound up pushing you away from me
have i learned my lession i cry on the floor
i tired to force us into something that we just couldn’t be
now my jealous insecurity has left me alone
the way this feels
this can’t be life but definitely love

I Now Find Myself Hollow (Bubba C.)
communal testament to life
a story of ambition that turned to spite
of expectations that could not be met
in this world where our hopes cancel out
maybe you know the man who wanted to change the world
who dreamt of a family
he now lives alone in an empty apartment
an infertile ground
you can find him at the bar down the street
he’ll be there drowning the painful thoughts
of what his life could have been
'why does it have to be this way
at what point did my life change
it fucking left me behind!'
life has not just one stereo-type
neither does it’s failure
the tyrant can be the prisoner just as much as anyone else
he must conform to keep the image alive
he must wonder just who rules who in this game
maybe one day we’ll die

I vs. Beauty (Thomas R.)
compliments slice you thin while you march with that spotlight smashed against that swollen head of yours
a smirk of confidence
a look that kills
but an ego big enough to save those that admire you from a drowning ship
who are you fooling
you’re no better than the tons you’ve laughed at
i would love to show you life through the eyes of a common man, as you call it
a mere time consuming boredom
we’re nothing more than statues of shit in your way
but your lovely remarks are strong enough to flatten us to the ground
but who am i fooling
who are we fooling
it is us vs. beauty

Decent Attempt (Andrew L.)
otherwise pointless, useless and unproductive behavior:
moping around my cold, dark, lonely room
it wasn’t always like this, it turned cold with you
plagued with happy memories i’m reminded that you’re gone
that’s hard to live with, but i’ll find a new way to deal with this and you
now i know there is no guarantee on a heart lent out
dealt out the death of us
said it was no one’s fault
that’s just the way things turned out
i’m not pointing any fingers
but i’m the one with the broken heart
now i’ve been left with the burden of this loss
since you’ve been long over it
i thank you for all the bitterness you left me
i thank me for being so gullible

Say Goodbye (Andrew L.)
i’m ready to accept you’re gone
don’t give me your tears
i’ve had my share already
you made this, don’t make it any harder
at least realize the irony and let that keep you warm at night
that’s all i can take comfort in
you threw away the one person who cared for you
so don’t complain
now we both know this suffering
and i know your smile can’t change my world
i won’t need your ‘hi’ anymore
say goodbye

The Sultan Of Brunei (originally by HONDO)
Beautiful sluts
Flock to your castle
Serving your guests on their knees
I long to be the one who asks:
"Would you like to meet the Sultan of Brunei?"
...but how would I ever get an audience granted?

Eighty-Eight Was Just A Number (Thomas R.)
homophobic jocks
with high top vans, bleached crew cuts
closed minded chumps
screaming unity
while judging kids in your scene
you’ve stabbed me in the back, time and time again
it’s been ten years, get over it, it’s already been said
change is in the message, not the stolen riffs
your trying to re-hash this exaggerated myth
of brotherhood, unity and your hardcore pride
it’s been blown to shit, 1988 is when it fucking died!

this is a song to all those close minded fucks that refuse to see that
hardcore is in the message and how you treat each other in this hardcore
community of ours, not the music. are you really out to make a change or
just copy the bands that got you into it. try to back the words you’re
screaming about. we’re not trying to offend anyone, just going out on a
limb to express how i feel and what i see, isn’t that what hardcore is anyway. -tom
