You know the drill! Assume the imposition Embrace free market And abandon your ideals They say we're lazy and coddled, unpatriotic and addle-brained Sitting in judgement atop family fortunes And their ill-gotten gains If you can't relate at all, then you're a complacent son of a bitch And if you'd rather watch it all, then you deserve everything that you get This isn't a warning, we've moved beyond the time for games We don't want your pity but we're begging for your change Bogus paradigm Force-fed from the beginning No wonder we're capsizing The water is filling our lungs Getting hard to breathe, harder to believe that cynicism reigns Who will take responsibility For patching what remains? And if you can't relate at all, then you're a complacent son of a bitch If you'd rather watch it fall, then you deserve everything that you get This isn't a warning, we've moved beyond the time for games Fuck your pity and we don't need your change

Body-snatchers took your skin ripped you out and they moved in now I don’t know what to do it still looks like you but it’s not you you know that I have tried my best to exorcise them from your flesh but in spite of all that I have done I fear they might have won ’cause it’s not you they got you and wiped your memory they must have caught you and shot you with their mind-erasing beam right on the spot you forgot you only want to be with me this is the only possible explanation

Bully for you, it's bullshit to me Buried in baggage and busted dreams There's no guarantees, no charity Everything's faulty and nothing's free So cancel all my appointments And give all my possessions away I wanna go on an endless holiday Fair-weather friends, armchair critics Killjoys and cowards: you won't be missed Safety, routine, ignorant bliss I'd trade it all for a night like this

Dearly divided, Here’s a new declaration The people on the pavement are all walking backward Simple spellbound souls Content pretending they can go home again If you want a message for the ones I've left behind Tell 'em that I left my heart in ‘89 What now that all the leaves have fallen? Wanting nothing more than to be gone and forgotten I'm seething just to stop the bleeding I don't pretend to know who's right but I'm still breathing Taxing tragedy Sometimes friends and apathy Adults who act like children and the games they play Have brought me to this ledge I’m standing inches from the edge I won't fall I've learned how to cash in all my disillusionment Let your collapse be my entertainment

Will never save the day from Don't Panic! by The Harlem Downtrotters Don't Panic! cover art Wishlist 00:00 / 02:09 Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. $1 USD or more Buy the Full Digital Album lyrics We stare up at this giant structure From a million miles away The dust is thin, but the truth is thick in the "better days" Forecast from bright to bleak Bad backs we sit and think And watch the tears roll off our cheeks Whoa oh you can't afford to take it away Whoa oh just keep it running Whoa oh move on and admit that a small part of you died today A map remains on this faded carpet Where everything had it's place The walls are stained with age and missing picture frames Fiction thick with missing pages We purge what ifs and maybes What could've beens come out our faces Whoa oh you can't afford to take it away Whoa oh just keep it running Whoa oh move on and admit that a small part of you died today

Written by Ken Taylor A tattoo added on his back Body art makes her go numb Body art makes her go numb It makes him groan, these angry bones As it fills his pride and takes him even higher He hopes that this could be for real But wait, now where did you go? I can’t see you Seasons change and feelings fall And your beauty is not forgotton Yeah, I wish you well What do I owe you You don’t own me She has golden locks of hair Shining through the morning sun Shining through the morning sun I’d like to mean it when I have to I’d think to show it when I know you Darkness brings me fear As we go on we start to argue I think I’ll escape, but I found you her heart’s covered in tears But wait, now where did you go? I can’t see you Seasons change and feelings fall And your beauty is not forgotton Yeah, I wish you well What do I owe you You don’t own me You don’t own me Hey Now where did you go? Hey I can’t see you Hey Even through two blackened eyes But wait, now where did you go? I can’t see you even through two blackened eyes Wait, now wait I can’t see you! Seasons change and feelings fall And your beauty is not forgotton Yeah, I wish you well What do I owe you You don’t own me Seasons change and feelings fall And your beauty is not forgotton Yeah, I wish you well What do I owe you You don’t own me

Declaration of a broken heart, And I knew it was a hiccup from the start. Imagination's going off the chart Coz I’m never coming back for your love. Started back in '92, I was full of attitude Girls kept on breaking my heart, kept on breaking my.. From Sandra to Toni, to Billy, Leone, I was a tart But I wanted something true, and I really needed you Our worlds apart. And I'm flying into sleep Falling into terrors Close my eyes and kill the sheep Fell in love, it’s with my Myoclonic jerk Holds me in my arms All night I, I'm freaking out about this guy Now it's time to let go! Got me jumping out my skin! Fell asleep alone again, Romeo where are you then? You kept on waking me up, kept on waking me… A spasm, a tremor, a dreamt up dilemma, you're not enough Shudder at the thought of you, walking ‘cross my grave, it’s true My! Oh, clone us! Got me jumping out my skin! A contraction of the limbs Paralysis and fear sets in.

apartment walls breathe in and out i stare at paper and talk out loud in hopes to find some clarity of mind get out of my head and walk outside attempt to regain some sense of pride though i think what ill find will be the same im making the grades and clocking in with my foot in my mouth i dont make sense waiting for summer heat to take me away put on coffee and ignore calls finding new ways to sit and stall ill waste every goddamn minute of this day you can take it all back and keep the change i got little left to lose and nothing left to gain im a thousand different people depending on the place a procrastinating delusion that were keeping up the pace im the never fleeting thought of how i dont know when to quit a pessimistic version of a half ass accomplishment

It's just four more years 'til we leave this place until then, we'll drink down at Louis' place we'll finish our beer and with one great cheer I can't wait to get out of here I spend more time worrying about the weather than where we're going or how we'll get there it's always too cold, never too late I'm in the right place It's just four more years 'til we leave this place until then, we'll drink down at Louis' place we'll finish our beer and with one great cheer I can't wait to get out of here there's truth in these words, I just don't speak them sober please excuse me, I didn't think this over I want to feel alright; we'll get there pint after pint It's just four more years 'til we leave this place until then, we'll drink down at Louis' place we'll finish our beer and with one great cheer I can't wait to get out of here

about

This is my first compilation called "Lauren's Awesome Mix Vol. 1." The title is an homage to the Guardians of the Galaxy movie. The compilation itself will be available for "name your price" download through Bandcamp. All proceeds will be donated to SPCA of Brevard in Titusville, FL. The money will be used to to shelter and find homes for unwanted animals. Through this I hope to help people discover lesser know bands and put something positive out into the world. I would totally appreciate if you guys donated something and/or shared this I've purchased some downloads for everyone to use. Hopefully the self-promotion isn't annoying. Happy Thanksgiving!

"Like a lot of thirty-somethings, I cut my punk rock teeth in the early 1990s (pre-Dookie, thank you very much). Lived it, loved it, ate, drank and slept it. But something happened a decade or so later. Maybe it was moving from Boston to the dial-up modem that is New Hampshire, maybe it was starting my professional life, maybe it was just not really being inspired by anything new anymore. Fast-forward almost a decade and I stumbled across a then-little website called Dying Scene. I went out on a limb and started writing for the site almost four years ago, and immediately felt lost in the wilderness. Bands I’d never heard of…labels I’d never heard of…genres I’d never of (I still don’t know what orgcore is). But shortly thereafter, I met Lauren, and she’s been my punk rock spirit guide ever since. I’m continually inspired by the passion she has for this scene and for the fire that punk rock music gives to her, but that she gives to the punk rock community. Saying that she lives, loves, eats, drinks and sleeps this scene is understating the matter to say the absolute least. Hell, just look at the tracklist on this compilation; at last count, we were up to around six dozen bands, and I’m sure she’s got enough music that she wants you to hear to enable a Volume II and Volume III before Christmas. So give yourself a few hours and check this compilation out. Not only will buying it be helping a great cause, it’ll be helping yourself."
