lyrics

The Everyday Condition

A sigh of relief is my getaway
From the harsh sounds of the simulated peace in our 50 states
We forge ahead until we feel complete
A pipe bomb blows inside your priceless vacant pride
And lands on me
I feel nothing from the neck up, so mentally paralyzed
I know your aim’s misleading and blind

It’s in the way you stop us in our tracks
We turn to face you, we’ll soon replace you
A November will get the monkey off our back
A future more gracious and less contagious

A mentored mind on the killing vine
Just another blackballed intellect deceased from the same disease
So we clash more and never stitch the seam
Millions of brainwashed lives are taught to stay inside reluctantly
I’m thinking that it’s time to step up
Somehow, Somewhere, Someone’s…

Gotta find a way to stop you in your tracks
Don’t want to face us, just tap and trace us
New press release to let the people cut you slack
We’re losing patience and it’s contagious
Gotta find a way to stop you in your tracks
Don’t want to face us, just tap and trace us
In poverty while you sort your cash in stacks
We’re losing patience and it’s contagious

Do you feel sick? Cause I do… Look at the ones around you

Your casting call will leave you witness
What you see is what you get if you look behind the scenes, believe me
I won’t laugh it off or soften my fist
My angst still dwells inside and it is justified in its routine
I choose the way in which I stand up
It will bring victory, for you, for us, for me

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

So Much for New Beginnings
by Dearly Divided

supported by 15 fans who also own “The Everyday Condition”

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
