Now I'm searching through my blood
For the morsel I left behind
Spread it all out in front of me
Looking for the missing piece
Afraid I've lost my choking hazard
Don't let me be nothing forever
I crave lust
I crave trust
And as I'm breaking bolts
I feel my joints rust
Mother master prey on me
Affinity for memory
Infinity, remember me
That old escape
Timeless cycle
Feel the rooting
Don't be afraid
I'm so cold, my back is broken
The mule's curse left things unspoken
I need a smoke
I need a light
I need a fire to destroy my sight
I see my face on the heroes and villains
Hand in hand as they bow for applause
I'm stuck at the back fighting the crowd
Screaming lost hope as the curtain falls
Throwing my way through the folds and false holes
Only to see that I'm on the stage alone
And everyone is silently waiting for the punchline
RIP Pants ;-). Great sound, great dudes. Check out the other side of this split if you like ska, and check out Tokyo Quickdraw and Badfellows for ex-Pants members current projects. Deranged Youth
Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 31, 2024
UK82-inspired hardcore punk from Christchurch, New Zealand, gruff and fast and economical and, of course, righteously pissed. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 16, 2020
