Staring Through You

ejh69 Solid/thick riffs with atmosphere and depth. Excellent punk/hardcore with hints of predecessors without being slaves to them or cheap copies of regurgitated nostalgia. Solid lyrics throughout. This band is hella solid and no weak link in its chain. I love every song and have to say this is a must for any fans of music with integrity and honesty. Favorite track: As Tradition.

Born into a frame that hates you Wrapped in a skin of fear Anger is my marrow Sorrows are my tears This is not what I was promised I find no solace in the words of old This is not what I was promised I can feel my blood running cold
2.
Over and over and over again It beats in my chest and rings in my head Over and over and over again Your words bleed through I can’t think I can’t think I can’t speak Over and over and over again It beats in my chest and rings in my head Over and over and over again Your words bleed through I’ve been held by the fear in my brain The constant self doubt that you pushed in my face Over and over and over again It beats in my chest and rings in my head Over and over and over... But I won’t be the thing you tried to make me I’ll always be your enemy

Exoskeleton 02:51
A kiss from cracked and lonely lips Made in the image Thrown into the deep But I need you And you need me too So I’ll try It speaks to what I’ve done And to what I’ve become: A thirst that’s never satisfied I thought this was through years ago How ignorant to hope for a change of heart How arrogant to think that I could ever be so strong But I need you And you need me too So I’ll try It speaks to what I’ve done And to what I’ve become: A thirst that’s never satisfied

As Tradition 01:57
There’s a breath creation breathes That won’t be found in my lungs I’m gasping for it but inhaling toxins It’s all I want I’ve bound myself with ropes I fashioned from the empty night And used memories as a blindfold To guard my soul from the Light I’m a broken steeple I’m a statistic I’m the proof I’m a flag flown half mast Mourning the absence of the truth My anger’s only stifled by The fear that’s stabbing at my bones That one day when we disappear I’ll be right and all alone

Contrast 01:59
Where’s the peace you sing about All I see is pain Your desire for celebrity outweighs the love you claim Shy away from honesty You’re afraid of shame You claim to be a new man But your actions stay the same I don’t want your sympathy I just want to see some change I’m begging for transparency But you’re worried you won’t gain You drink the poison every day Of salvation bought by wealth Kneeling at the altar You are praying to yourself I’ll admit that I’m the same And I don’t know how to change I’ve been standing on broken legs And I can’t seem to find the break I’m staring through you And I see myself Through you I see myself
