lyrics

Of all the things I've seen you neglect
Your selfishness, your disrespect
None of it can be justified
You're just a fool, ignorant and blind

There's something lost deep inside your head
Your common sense, your intellect
To you the world ends with these walls
But we break them down, destroy them all

Then someday a time will come
When you realize that we were right all along

Is anybody out there?
Is anybody listening?
Can anybody hear me?
There's something you're missing.

You see difference as a fatal flaw
When rules are broken, it's something wrong
The only difference I see take place is your apathy
What a disgrace

Then you're thrown into the great unknown
But you lie to yourself and you don't even know where you belong

Green Peaks // Dark Valleys
by Get A Grip

I still distinctly remember the first time I saw Get a Grip, jaw to the floor the entire set. Punishingly good hardcore with a message. Some of the nicest people and best friends we've ever met. Problem Child

Longtime friends of Problem Child. Incredible, hard hitting, musically interesting hardcore with heart. They've got a new record coming out soon fresh out of GodCity Studio. I'm excited, you are too. Problem Child
