Does anyone have to remind themselves to be a human being?
And this time, I'm addressing my letter much broader,
Go or stay, now I'm walking with the world in the right way,
I love you all.

My mind's in the same lane, I'm crying over rain,
Adding to the problems adding up and I'm insane,
This stream of consciousness smile,
Starving, stagnant, and straight,
Why do I always feel I'll be in the same place I was before?
Searching memory banks for all of your saved face,
All the things imprinted on me I just can't erase,
Always in the same lane,
When the blame gets pointed tonight, I'll always claim it's mine,
I'll always think it's mine.

Whole

And I whip my head around again,
Searching for some meaning in between,
Where I fell through the cracks of my own personality,
Learning to forgive myself for all those things I can't control,
Comfortable with the taste in my mouth - that's always around,
Trying to keep myself whole,
Whole,
Where I fell through the cracks of my own personality,
Learning to, learning to,
Sick with empathy, yearning for remedy,
Sick with unforgiveness, sick with unforgiveness,
Remedy me.

So Steady

I was once taught the value of this marble and heat,
To make sense of experience, breathe, hear, and see,
Some great revelation is surrounding me,
I just wish I could see it for what it is,
Fear of fever,
I don't mind that hole in your chest where you breathe in backwards,
But to me it sounds so steady,
So steady,
Don't mind that hole in your chest.

Disassociate

I disassociate and I can't even hear a word you say,
Disassociate and can't even remember my face,
Am I more than the sum of what I'm told?
Should've thrown out everything I sold,
It'll just weigh on someone else's soul,
Porter at the door, but I can't stop the ticking of the clock,
Am I more than the sum of what I'm told?
Should've thrown out everything I sold,
It'll just weigh on someone else's soul,
I am more than the sum of what I'm told,
Disassociate, I can't see my face,
Disassociate, the clock ticks away,
Someone else's soul.

Baltimore's best new band. Great mix of Lifetime and Texas Is the Reason.

DON'T BE SO CRUEL
by Something Fierce
A million times better than their first LP, which wasn't bad at all. Sounds like if the Clash were around now and influenced by the Dirtnap Records roster. Lyrics of substance, too, which is a rarity.

Berkely duo Axe serve up four catchy, heavy synth-punk rippers inspired by campy horror flicks and old-school heavy metal.

Rotate the Mirror
by Silent Era
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.

1994 EP

Three songs from this raucous New Zealand group that prove punk still has teeth and isn’t afraid to lunge and bite.
