Apologies and an open mouth
Overlooked and empty so I just can’t
Explain myself or is it you won’t let me?
You understand now, or so you’ve said
Words bring excuses and ego bruises
A common ground we still have not found
It chips away at me on the surface
Do I lash out and reciprocate?
I’m an amused child
Too safe and scared all at once
And my innocence is ignorance and a clouded bliss
All arranged and spread into little pieces
I won’t pretend I’m in a bitter state
And learn from so many of my mistakes
Someday I’ll let go of this selfish, lingered,
Stubborn center that’s commonplace
The pointless hounding, my face turned down
A position I’m accustomed to now
To speak and be the only one that listens
A sound hard to ever forget
I’m an abused child
So lost with no say
Bored with a dumb smile
I’m a confused child
Angry with heartache
Filled with a deep rage
Faced with a choice to accept a lesser evil
And rebuild a base from these little pieces
Let’s shut this shit down
And scream like we’re piss drunk
We won’t let this child fall now
And shatter to the floor, reminding of the nights when we were young
I’m an accused child
Hungry for no shame
This might be inside
And likely won’t end, is this a positive?
I’ll control the spread of these little pieces
I love it. Have to agree with still bummed: this packs an emotional punch but rocks hard. I've played this whole album repeatedly over the last week which is unusual for me. Exhilarating, poignant, intelligent, melodic. Robin Ward
A very solid and sing-a-long worthy album made by an extremely underrated punk rock band. This album brings back vibes of 90s melodic skatepunk in the vein of No Use for A Name and Strung Out. I strongly recommend buying this album if you are a fan of that style of punk. Frank Fratto
SO stoked these guys are back with a new album! This does not disappoint whatsoever, and in my opinion it's their best work yet! Don't sleep on this release if you are into melodic skatepunk. iloveblink182
Terry Venemous is releasing new music every 3 weeks this year. His latest EP is sumptuous art pop with a wry sense of detachment.
