My voluntary exile
Just like the three denials:
Came before the break of day
Where I was from
That’s how unconditional love was repaid
The familiar and the serene
Couldn’t compete with
The billion other me’s
On glowing screens
In wish-fulfilling scenes
So soon the moment came
I knew I’d leave
Where I was from
I learned about the sentimental type
I learned what becomes of those
Who can't accept that their innocence has died
Where I was from
The accents are strange
Where I was from
They’re set in their ways
Where I was from
Roam the ghosts of my life
Where I was from
Is where I will die
Who will lead me back
To the ceremony of innocence
To what it was, and what it meant
Who will lead me?

A friend with a reliably fine musical taste posted this album on FB and I wasn't disappointed. Love the guitar sound and the passionate vocals (melodic enough to not pass as screamo or whatever). Punk rock spirit yet with a lot of dynamics (definitely a yes to the Dischord reference) and compact songs that won't leave your head for a long time. Many many
great tunes on here but for the moment USMA and Lay Low have to be my favorites! Great band, very happy to have found them! perpendikel

This album is electric. From the first track it's nonstop chaos and fun, and was a great way to start my journey into thrash metal and hardcore. spencer_mjeh
