It's times like this
I wonder why I got so involved
And it's times like this
I wonder why I even try at all
I'm striving towards something
That isn't available
Now the waiting game has ceased
I've waited and waited, waited to see
It's times like this that I'm backed up against the wall
Drifting through a series of emotions and melodrama
I've learned to swim, but tell me when does it end
The blackness envelops my every thought my entire being
And now I'm drowning in the turmoil
And I'm backed up against the wall
Puked up the feelings to no avail
Heat rising from my head, what's the deal?
A texture of suffering so tender
A texture of suffering so warm
Vacant stares into the wall
Emptiness into the wall
Vacantness into the wall
Nothingness into the wall
It's so much more than this
Some things I can't describe
And I'm startled by her radiance and her beauty
And forever lost inside her fecundity

Solstice

There are many of you
What expectations have you?
Tell me what is it that you want from me?
Some say I've changed, is change such a terrible thing?
Some of you say that I'm not, I'm not the same
And when I question you about it
You have nothing to say
Now can you tell me who is who?
And who's the same?
FUCK SHIT UP!
Why should I talk to you?
When you know everything
It's all there in your monologue
And it means nothing to me
What's your definition of what I used to be?
Don't plan on it being the same
Forever
Never
So I put on that music
That Straight Faced tape
I killed those fucking feelings
The ones that you create
Solstice
I'm Solstice now

No One To Blame

No one to blame
At the alms of this state of existing
I feel so forsaken and so alone
With no one to blame but myself
There's no one to blame, no one to blame
Knowing her amiability to inspire
Can turn against my best theories
And I knew full-well going into this
The anguish that would surface
The pain of it
The pain of it the protest inside
The war I fight, the pain I hide
The pain of it, a protest inside
The war I fight, the pain that I can't hide
The wise-side emerged and took its course
The feelings so tremendous coming straight from the source
And now it's all abandon and left to this heart
Coming down from this is like a trial in the dark
So! You sit in your petty contemplations
Leaving me to be in this state of repression
And you want me to be your friend
As I drown in these emotions and you walk away again...
No one to blame
Caress your ideas, caress!
Persecute your strength, your strength!
Infuse your enthusiasm, whatever it takes

Clenched fists my knees are weak
And in my head I feel my heartbeat
Eyes like hollow points the clock ticks, it ticks
The lines in my face
Tell you stories that seem out of place
This life is so precious
The poison doesn't make any sense
On the wall a Ginsberg black and white
The night became day I'm all bottled up in one
And through the blinds it's light outside
The night became day I'm all bottled up inside
As I fall into Fall and 4:07 in the AM
Jawbreaker plays, and I learn who I am
I read the poems of Yeats from the coffee table
My foot falls asleep Indian style

Friction

Friction!
Push! Me to the point, the point where I push my finger at you
A warning sign, this time, you don't amuse me
You taunt my friends with words from jail
And ignorant mindset acquired in hell
You're digging a hole trying to burry us all
What you don't know is that you're fucking yourself
A little voice, behind the glass
Years have gone by and you're still the same
Your sleeves are rolled down and they hide your shame
I don't care about you and tried to for so long
The lights go out, and the blanket comes down
The beating ensues, ignorance as well
Friction, friction, friction!
No more ignorance

True Love, my friends and I
Hardcore, unites us tonight
Music, as to enhance
A motherfuckin' breakdown
So we can dance break it down
This for the youth, youth against youth violence
True Love for all of us
This I say, is a must lets go!
Hardcore will never die
It won't it just fucking won't
We're bringing it to you today
It lies within our youth
So don't let, don't let it slip away
True Love my friends and I
Hardcore unites us for life
Music as to enhance
A breakdown so we can dance
This is hardcore, this is what it's all about
True Love my friends and I, this is what we're all about
This for the youth
Youth against youth violence
True Love for all of us
This I say is a must
