What we see isn’t all we affect
What we get isn’t endless
Living for today I’d consider selfish
Life in certain death
Kevlar vest of lies, insulated disease
Avoiding prosecution we do as we please
Backed into a corner can’t turn away
Facing judgement day
I wanna know
How did we get here?
Where do we go?
Can’t break away
Meaningful existence, none other than mine
Nihilistic notions are somewhat devine
Apathetic values? What about me?
We are all guilty
Comedy in loss, tragic surprise
Coping mechanism I can’t deny
Media portrayal of a hoax
We’re the fucking joke

Consumption is a disease
Organized crime influencing me
Confused
Don’t worry about the truth
Amused
We’ll tell you what you wanna hear
Mental breakdown or total clarity
A line is drawn fine with steady hands
Unconcerned with fact or fiction
The line is drawn with shaky hands
Ambiguous by design, premeditated delusions
Puppet master hold my hand
Lead us in division

Running in circles going nowhere
Running in circles going nowhere fast
More money, new car
Better body, new guitar
We all reap what we sow
Superficial happiness ebbs and flows
Endless consumption to spend one week high
Discontent with living sometimes I’d rather die
I’m addicted, addicted, addicted
Frustrated, complicated, isolated, incapacitated
Hedonic adaptation isn’t lost on me
Spreading yourself thin between wants and needs
Nickel and dimed until we’re content
The high won’t last long, sadly codependent

Leave It Alone

We make our jokes to hide from the truth
This year I learned I’m not that close to you
Distance is nothing, the fact remains
Family and fortune aren’t one in the same
Say what you wanna say
But there’s no fucking way I’ll ever back down
Leave it alone
There’s a difference between what I think and know

Do or die it’s your choice to make
Live or die we don’t have a say
I don’t want you hurting
As if you have a choice
I don’t want your pain
I’ll gladly take it all away
Place syringe under tongue
Drain fluid from your lungs
Culmination of all feeling
Some say the best die young
It’s not what we want
It’s not what we need
Rest assured we’ll be fine
We’ve got more blood to bleed
No stone’s been left unturned
No lessons left to learn
Live or die we don’t have a say
Live or die we have no say
Through tears I beg and plead
Let go and rest easy

Springtime and Blind
by Fiddlehead
supported by 10 fans who also own “Demo”
A friend with a reliably fine musical taste posted this album on FB and I wasn't disappointed. Love the guitar sound and the passionate vocals (melodic enough to not pass as screamo or whatever). Punk rock spirit yet with a lot of dynamics (definitely a yes to the Dischord reference) and compact songs that won't leave your head for a long time. Many many great tunes on here but for the moment USMA and Lay Low have to be my favorites! Great band, very happy to have found them!

This album is electric. From the first track it's nonstop chaos and fun, and was a great way to start my journey into thrash metal and hardcore.
