lyrics

Making bets that I’d be long gone. No restraints as far as I saw. Squirming like a pawn.

Strike at the source, I finally found my place. Oh shit, my life is failing: contribution none.

The shame remains, I’ll let it lead. I had to tell myself the best ain’t what I’ve done. The best is yet to come. I took my time back.

I’d welcome disappointment. I should have done this more than months ago.

And if I feel like an empty vessel gunning for a door.
Then it better be that I do it again.

When I quit again. When I quit again. When I quit again.
Just a test and failing’s common. Boxed in and friendship bombing. Squirming like a pawn.

Strike at the source, I finally found my place. Oh shit, my life is failing: contribution none.

The shame remains, I’ll let it lead. I had to tell myself the best ain’t what I’d done. The best is yet to come. I took my time back.

I’d welcome disappointment. I should have done this more than months ago.
And if I feel like an empty vessel gunning for a door.
Then it better be that I do it again.
When I quit again.

Giving a shit is getting old, as is performing what I’m told. Goodbye to you.

And I feel like an empty vessel gunning for a door. I should’ve done this more than months ago.

I’d welcome disappointment.

Strike at the source, I finally found my place. Oh shit, my life is failing: contribution none.

So I made the decision to not feel so fucking lost.

Poor Me Denver, Colorado

Formed in 2010, Denver, CO’s Poor Me has always been a passion project; an alchemical merging of charged aggression and killer songwriting. Catharsis comes and goes in a mass of sweating bodies, fists raised to the stage. This is skate punk dragged into the now—where fast drums, muscular riffs, and razor-wire lyrics unite to document a world more fucked than ever. ... more
