one foot in the classroom. one foot in the grave. nineteen years of preparation. it all comes down to this. prepare you for life. or was it death that my professors lectured about as they engraved professions into my brain. if you do this and you do that, success and money will fall into your lap. and there's no going back. and then you're trapped. and then you're trapped. one foot in the classroom. one foot in the grave.

1, 2, 3, 4. when i walked in the phone was ringing. that's how i knew they knew i fucked up. when i woke up the phone was ringing. that's how i knew they knew i fucked up. i'm a slave. i'm a slave. i'm a slave and i know it. i'm a slave. i'm a slave. i'm a slave and i don't care. and i know it. and i know it. i don't care. nine to five sounds like a nightmarish timeline. how does eight to six make it any less bad? nine to five sounds like a nightmarish timeline. how does eight to six make me any less dead? how does eight to six make me any less, how does eight to six make me any less, how does eight to six make me any less dead? any less dead? seven days on this spinning cycle. seven days of this roulette wheel. seven ways i'd love to tell you to fuck off and go to hell. go to hell. go to hell. go to hell. go to hell.

i'm not a puppet. i'm not a pawn. not to be stabbed in the back or to be shit upon. cuz this is life. cuz this is real. cuz this is mine and not yours, not yours to steal. conditioned from day one to accept their idea of fun. to accept their idea of goals. to accept being bought and sold. i will not accept your life. i'm holding on to what is mine. cuz i reject your values. i reject your goals. i reject your system and i reject being bought and sold to the highest bidder. cuz i'm not a puppet. i'm not a pawn. not to be kicked in the back or to be spit upon. cuz this is larger. cuz this is real. cuz this is my life, not yours to steal. it's my life and i'll take it back. if you've got nothing, you've got nothing to lose. and if you've got nothing to lose, you've already won. you've already won.

there it is. you can see it. those are the teeth marks and i can blame no one but you for the bruises. what can be colder than snow? you are my mood swings and your candles can't replace my sun. they're black and they're blue and they're getting tighter and right now you can not lift up your arms. in an attempt to better yourself you have cut out all the bones. my heart has found a new home.

question the answers that they've forced down your throat for so fucking long. we're not in kansas anymore. this problem is too great to ignore. bring it back to the monkey trial. you'll make monkeys out of us all. what about the children? think about the children? i know you've said that before. you're the proof that some of us have evolved. you'll make monkeys out of us fucking all. you can't stop this wind from blowing. you can't stop this rain from falling. you can't stop this sun from rising. never stop attacking. an attack on everything you stand for. an attack on all that you believe. an attack for all those who will suffer. an attack on you, the knowledge thief. i'm not burning a cross.

riot! just another fucking word meant to make us think we're something more. more than just another punk band. more than just another pop fan. you'd like to think so. we all are guilty. raise your banners and fly your flags. let us know just where you stand. it is just a "reaction reaction reaction" to society from a community that wants to believe we're so different from you. take a look at yourself to see what you've done to make this world a better place. nothing. have we done nothing? just take a look at the stickers and t-shirts and patches that attempt to cover our state of inaction. the presses are busy, but the movement is dead. the movement is dead.

what goes up? it's coming around. attacking the new kid. initiation round one is the score and the outcome is defeat. fuck your sacred competition in which we choose to compete. i won't compete. we learn from the mistakes of those who come before us. hopefully, we learn from those mistakes. fuck you for four years of laughing behind my back. and fuck you for four years of nothing to my face. i remember when you used to matter to me.

hey. this is for you. this is from you. this is the letter i could not send because i told you that i wouldn't be this way, but it's hard and it hurts and i don't want to be remembered by a promise that i couldn't keep. don't tell me there's nothing there. i don't want to be john cusack. don't tell me there never was. standing there with the radio, radio in the air. it was a crime that it took me so long to tell you about the diamonds in your eyes. and it was a crime that it took me five months (it took me so long) to let you inside my mind. this is what i was avoiding. this is what i was avoiding. this is why i was how i was.

lock me up in a cage, so i can tell it to you from first hand. lock you up in a cage so you know how it feels, yea, just how it feels. another baby born and died for amusement and you don't get it. slave labor leads straight to death camps. "this song tells the story. archetypical, the fate of the bastard. the one day her trainer struck her. she freaked out and took revenge." i will not pay to sit and watch them die.

what's the worst that can happen? all we've got is two months so let's make it count. i've lost six and now i'm done missing out. what's the worst that could happen compared to two months of constant joy. sixty-one days of constant smiles could outweigh a year of constant heartache while you're six hours away but i'm talking about things that have never been and i won't let that happen again. in this far fetched reality, i tend to live where everything always ends up alright. it's always happily ever after, but you and me never opened the book. how are we supposed to know what happens to the frog? ladybug, ladybug, fly up to heaven and bring me back a loaf of bread or just one kiss. just one kiss.

you say you're p.c? i'd say pretty confused. cuz there was nothing correct about the girl you abused. she trusted you and laid by your side. but you touched her in her sleep not once but twice. i think you should fucking die. i hope you fucking die. fuck you simon. you had to ruin it. the perceived safety among friends.

as our sun sets i'm stuck here with regret waiting for the sky to fall down and crush my heart and everything that surrounds. at night, i lay awake, afraid to turn on the light to see the loneliness that my existence has become. and i say that i know it's not my fault and you're the one who's really missing out, but i don't believe it. you lie in bed with your smile so wide, so wide it brightens up the sky. i begin to cry. you wipe my tears away as you say, "is everything going to be alright?" how could everything be alright when i wake up shaking in the night? when the cat that i love has got my tongue and i'm on the run. as our sun sets...

the dictionary is necessary when you can't open your mouth. a loss of words is what i heard (a loss of words) when we met eye to eye. basement shows are not the easiest fucking place. and i called just to say goodnight. called you up just to say goodnight. woke you up just to say goodnight. can't you see the frustration growing on my face. constant anticipation of every move that i'll never make. why can't life be just like a phone call? why can't life and love... phone is ringing but where's my angel?

trace that thought it chalk. red velvet one foot from the eye. six feet below the line that divides the earth and the sky. dear angel, you've grown horns so sharp they;ll stab through your lies and right through all your lines. darkness is quickly coming in. the outlook is constantly sinking. optimism is a thing of the past. i want it back. don't ever trace that thought... and as all exciting thought becomes a new outline in chalk i will stand up for myself and for the world's mind. you will not leave me behind. you can not leave me behind. never decline from this process so divine. if you let them censor your thoughts then they control your mind and that's all you've got. for all of the world's mind. for all of the world is mine.

what the fuck do you think that you're doing? it's something positive you and your crew will ruin. take it past the extreme to the hardline, hate-edge, courage crew bullshit. your actions make me sick, but this sickness gives me a reason to sing. a reason to sing. "fuck all who cheapen what i truly am in others eyes." go. i fell in love with the scene as an escape from fucks like you, but it's the face not the floor you punch, you're carving an "X", so fuck you.

seven days of samsara Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Emotional metallic hardcore from Milwaukee. Formed in 1998 and finally kicked the can 20 years later. 2xLP discography out now.

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!!
