NON-NEGOTIABLE
stopped keeping score like you keep score
it finally doesn’t mean shit to me anymore
I crumble it up throw it away
it’s just a way to keep track of how well my hands are played
what I want I’ve always found a way to have
got past “no” a long fucking time ago
the only thing that I can’t buy more of is time
how could I believe the hour-glass would ever get this thin?
I never listened, I should have listened
but i will fill what is left of my days with the things that I love the most
and what I hate gets pushed to the side of my plate
and when I ride you know those trumpets play
I’ll burn this whole place down, roll right out of this fuckin town
before I become the things that I despise
I’ve never known a bliss like this
We’ll be dusting, Non-negotiable off for our upcoming tour with Terror, Rotting Out and Naysayer.
It came out a couple years ago, as part of a double split 7” released with the final issue of the amazing fanzine, At Both Ends.

But somehow we have still yet to play it live
til now..
We hope we’ll see some of you out there and up there, for this upcoming tour with three bands we are very excited to be sharing the road with.
Should be a banger.

FORKED TONGUE
What have you done - Look at what you’ve done - Screaming words of venom right in your daughters face - Take the time to show her that all her thoughts were wrong - Shape her in your image just as somebody did to you - And if this is how you do it right in front of me - I cannot imagine what must go down at home - Never got a chance that kid was doomed right at the gate - I stand and watch you ruin that poor little girl in the middle of the street - And since I can not put a bullet right in your hateful face - I turn my back and walk away and hope there is a hell - Soon shell know how to use words that cripple like a gun - What have you done?
Asia!! We will be playing this oldie on our upcoming tour.
First song off our first 7”

We are honored to be a part of FC5’s final shows..

Vienna, Austria

AS THE WORLD TURNS
though I walk alone I am never on my own
how can I not confuse family with friends
even though that is exactly what somebody told me
this was more than a chapter but the heart of the whole damn book
I had my best friend by my side when I learned my father died
Ive seen strangers become friends and then turn into brothers
in just a few short weeks away from home
it is crazy when they tell me that this is just screams to a beat
when I know it’s what shot you into my veins
glue that binds, a weapon that defines us
and I would be so lost without them
ive seen strangers become friends and then turn into brothers
in just a few short weeks on the road
bonds so much stronger than the time they took to form
and will last me the rest of my days
it is crazy when they tell me that this is just screams to a beat
when i know its what shot you into my veins
glue that binds, a weapon that defines us
and I would be so lost without you
though I walk alone I am never on my own
cuz the places we’ve been become the times we have shared
and they crash like waves and mark these days
and I don’t go anywhere without them
I took the whole damn ride
with my best friends by my side
the days turned into nights
and we held on with all our might
cuz nothing stays no way, no how
there’s no forever
the only thing that lasts forever
is right fucking now
Budapest, Hungary
Nowhere we’d rather play.
