Jasmine Rose I don't love this record..but it was too great to pass up. For a Long Island-based band it kicks much ass. Long Island bands usually don't sound like this. Thematically very well put together. They don't take fan mail. Favorite track: U.R.M.T.

Act II 01:16
The death of summer gave us new life Those first words were sharper than a knife Never felt anything like that before didn’t seem to mind Mondays anymore Spent so many nights waiting for dawn, leaving flowers for those long gone friends left aboard that sinking ship Didn’t think I could take another winter, a tumultuous flame reduced to a flicker on a dying wick. I did not want to be put out Spring forward; ghosts on the corner, frozen hearts can only get warmer let the blood flow Amend, befriend the undead you might need ‘em in the end let the past go I have been channeling ghosts Finally had an outlet to let out the finality But I’ve come to see some ends aren’t permanent despite the means We may meet again. Autumn’s life brought about our death

What are you looking at? I don’t care about Youth Attack and I prefer my vinyl black Collecting plastic in limited runs is not my idea of fun “$200 was my winning bid on eBay hearing that it’s being re-pressed has totally ruined my day” Opening bands all sound the same Fuck ‘em all, show up late Don’t feel the need to “show support for these ‘good dudes’ on their first tour ” Excuse me for being “rude” and I’ll excuse your shitty tunes Just because I hate your songs, it doesn’t mean we can’t get along If you want to hate me, well that’s just fine. Call me a poseur, I don’t mind I would rather vogue to Madonna than hatemosh to Xibalba Strike a pose I don’t like Integrity, so I have no credibility I can’t feign interest in Reign Supreme and Hoax does not appeal to me Talking about hardcore is such a bore checking out your band is such a chore I don’t wanna read your zine and I don’t care about the scene I will never defend pop-punk, if anything, I want to offend pop-punk Songs rife with sarcasm and jokes are the kinds of songs I hate the most

I can see that things are going well for now, but it’s just a matter of time before it goes to hell and you call me down I am really happy for you and I wish nothing but the best for you But something is bound to go wrong and when it does, you’ll sing that same old song The one that goes: “No one knows me like you do. When I was with him, I was thinking of you” Until then we’ll remain perfect strangers; stay out of danger. I hope you’ve found a reason to live by now if not, it’s a matter of time before you’ve no more to give and you fall down I am really pulling for you and I wish nothing but the best for you But something is bound to go wrong and when it does, you’ll sing that same old song The one that goes: “No one knows me like you do There is no one else I can turn to” ‘til then we’ll remain perfect strangers, stay out of danger You cried when you heard those flowers were yours, I hope my sincerity doesn’t close any doors Please don’t twist my words, there is no resentment and I have no interest in a relationship Ahem. As for you, it’s such a shame, though I suppose I am to blame I really wish it could’ve worked out I could tell that you work out When I’m craving some sorbet, I’ll be sure to head your way, though I’ll feel uncomfortable Light as a feather, stiff as a board I am stiff and bored

Mother's Day 00:57
Just about a quarter-century and I haven’t found anything for me Nothing that I want to do, two times I’ve given up on school I am still living at home, one day I’ll move and die alone, but until that fateful day, I’ll have to try to find my way Time to grow up Trying to grow up Peers have moved and found careers, wipe away their children’s tears I will never create a life or a have an awful-wedded wife I’ve always said “death before marriage” wish I died before I hit the carriage Unfortunately, that didn’t pan out, left with a life I’m told to plan out Time to grow up Trying to grow up Don’t get me wrong, my life’s not terrible, I just find uncertainty unbearable And what keeps up at night is wondering if I’ll ever get it right

U.R.M.T 01:11
Were it not for that red square you’d think that outfit was for squares but it is there so you will cop the next piece of shit that they drop And they’ll wipe with your money Forced to dress up for church on Sunday when you only wanted to play That was 15 years ago, it’s time for you to let it go I don’t believe, but I’d like to be relieved of everyone’s crucifixation, it’s all the same, regardless of position Are you really anti-religion or just pro-pseudo-rebellion? Either way, there are more than Christians, so here are a few suggestions: Burn a Qur’an, shit talk the Torah, Draw an upside down menorah Wear a tee that reads “Fuck Allah” Desecrate the star of John Travolta U.R.M.T. You are empty, ugly radicals minding trends Fuck off, tumblr activists and all of your P.C. shit Freedom and equality, but just for you Fuck life shaming and fuck Doctor Who
