lyrics

You decorate your walls with so much strength…
I tore them down.
It’s just make-believe to calm you down – to keep you safe.
When you fight for your decrees, it’s not strength you need.
It’s just people doing people things, like you.

Why should I? (Why should I?)
Were you not born with all the strength to save a life?
So why should? (Why should I?)

It’s safe to say that on that day I lost my nerve to help them out.
I think it’s safe to say that no one cared about their names, or their fight, their families.
It seems so insane.
We’re not people doing people things (not people doing people things).
Yea, you.

Why should I? (Why should I?)
Were you not born with all the strength to save a life?
So why should? (Why should I?)
Is standing by a crime?

Just say you won’t. Don’t say you can’t make us the promise.
Though we all share these crushing fears, we’ll never be more than shades of grey.
So why I? So why should I? Why should I try?
Why should I?
Why should I?
Yea, you!

Why should I?
Were you not born with all the strength to save a life?
And when it’s your life, should I just stand by?

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
