About a whole slew of things. My discovering of punk-rock and realization of just how free with really are, the confusion us kids are faced with growing up in these times (this EP was originally going to be called "Confused Youth"), and just being fed up in general.

lyrics

Came to life around 95’, tough in this world just to stay alive
Minimum wage and upset motives, just wait til’ we seize the day

We took all our rights and we wrote em' on the wall
Kick down the sofa while we’re going through them all
We will complain and we know what you’ll say
But in the end, all hail liberty

Found new life in 2004, won’t take shit from you anymore
Screw the flag and burn our rights, it’s time to go out and live our lives

On the darkest night, when thought’s occupy my mind
I then realize it all makes sense
In order to plea for peace, you have to cry for lies
And there is no other way around

And I don’t want to think about tomorrow, when I don’t even care about today

Even the beginning of nothing has to start with the end of something
Abandoned thoughts are a human casualty
And when the start of a life has to come with the biggest price
That’s when I say the answer’s clear to me

And as the days go by, I just sit and wonder why
I don’t know if this will ever end
In order to die for something, you have to live for nothing
And there is no other way around

So I’ll take the bullshit that you say and save it for another day
End of a life, end of a lie, this is something that you gave to me...

Green Peaks // Dark Valleys

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
