drinking blue ribbons in the back of your rental car
the warm Florida air kisses my face i feel like a kid again
stacked amplifiers pounding in my chest it goes,
“ba ba da da da ba ba ba da da da da da da da da da da da da”
drunk texting you since like 1 in the morning
sometimes i drink just as an excuse to talk to you
and i didn't mean to get that obsessed
and i didn't mean to feel that depressed
but once it started it wouldn't stop
when you wield your emotions like a knife someone is gonna get cut
you gave me a part of you
I gave you a part of me too
and now i'm gonna have to watch you fuck it up!
walked myself up to your doorway
the doors were locked and the lights shut off
and i sat there on the phone with your voice mail
cuz i thought i would feel better
it was the only time i'd gotten out of bed
unless it was to smoke a cigarette or to hit the bottle again
and i guess i could have taken comfort in my friends or family
i just wanted you. oh no oh oh oh oh whoa.
and i didn't mean to get that obsessed
and i didn't mean to feel that depressed
but once it started it wouldn't stop
a big big love i'm gonna pop
when you talk it's like a light shining down on me
float down to the ground and set me free
when you talk you quiver with anxiety
you won't find what you're looking for
in that bottle of whiskey or PBR you're fucked kid
you're fucked kid, you're fucked.
when you wield your emotions like a knife someone is gonna get cut
and all i'm left with is your bloody knife stuck in my gut
you gave me a part of you
i gave you a part of me too
and now i'm gonna have to watch you fuck it up!
Powerful in every way, this DC hardcore group's first full-length is the siren song to having no home as a person of color—in punk, in society, in America. It could not have arrived at a more appropriate time. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jul 15, 2016
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
Three songs from this raucous New Zealand group that prove punk still has teeth and isn’t afraid to lunge and bite. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 31, 2019
