it seems like only yesterday
i was on the right track to your sucess
and everything that’s expected of
a pawn in this society
so i’m the runt
the one that won’t survive
i sucked the nipple dry
of all its milk
left behind to fend for myself
like a lead on a story
that wouldn’t quite provide the answers
sure i know it’s hard
but i write and i smoke
and i think up new ways
to try and conquer the world
all jacked up on caffeine
i’ve seen the world in which you live
and i don’t want any part of it
my route is tough and i’ve got a flat
but passion
my compassion
will prevail
i’m not like you
i’m who you wish you could be
i stand out in a crowd
i do what i want
Holden and i had a drink in a bar once
i think
and i do think
independently
cause i will find my own
and make it it my own right
i’ll see faces smiling at me
like i just painted the fucking “Mona Lisa”
and i’ll stare blankly back at them
probably still unsatisfied
at all that i’d accomplished
i’m not like you
i’m who you wish you could be
i stand out in a crowd
i do what i want
Berkely duo Axe serve up four catchy, heavy synth-punk rippers inspired by campy horror flicks and old-school heavy metal. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 28, 2021
Oakland band Silent Era's sound is a killer mix of classic hardcore and NWOBHM. On their second LP, they're especially urgent and anthemic. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 1, 2020
