DOWNTOWN IS WHERE WE'D GO,
EVERY WEEKEND THERE'D BE SHOWS
ON FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING
FOR THREE DAYS STRAIGHT THE PLACE WAS FULL
WE FELT RESPONSIBLE
TO KEEP THE PUNKHOUSE THAT WAS CREATED
RENT AND HYDRO WERE ALWAYS PAID...
BEFORE THE DUE DATES
NEVER TAKEN FOR GRANTED
NO BOOZE OR DRUGS ALLOWED...
IT KEPT THE POLICE OUT
SO THE SHOWS WOULD KEEP ON HAPPENING
FIND ANYWHERE TO PLAY
WAS HARDER IN THOSE DAYS
MOSTLY GARAGE OR BASEMENT SHOWS
THE BANDS POSTERED OURSELVES
AND SPREAD THROUGH WORD-OF-MOUTH
WHAT BANDS WERE COMING THROUGH ON TOUR
FIND ANYWHERE TO PLAY
WHEN PARENTS WENT AWAY
MOSTLY GARAGE OR BASEMENT SHOWS
BANDS POSTERED OURSELVES
AND SPREAD THROUGH WORD-OF-MOUTH
WHAT BANDS WERE COMING THROUGH ON TOUR
AS PUNKS GOT OLDER
KIDS TOOK OVER
THE PLACE REMAINED THE SAME
THROUGHOUT ITS WHOLE EXISTENCE
IT MAINTAINED ITS MISSION...

WHY WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW
TO DO ALL THAT WE CAN TODAY
REFUSE TO MAKE EXCUSES
OR PROCRASTINATE
AS IT IS LIFE'S TOO SHORT
THE DAYS AND YEARS ARE PASSING BY
OPPORTUNITIES WASTED
RUNNING OUT OF TIME
NO THINKING OF THE FUTURE
TOO FOCUSED ON THE PAST
OUR LIVES LIVED BY CLICHES LIKE GOOD TIMES AREN'T MEANT TO LAST
SET GOALS LEFT UNACCOMPLISHED
LIFE'S GOTTEN IN THE WAY
IF YOU DON'T LET OTHERS IN
YOU CAN'T GET HURT OR FEEL BETRAYED
NO MATTER HOW WE TRY
TO FIX THE FLAWS
WE'RE DOOMED TO REPEAT THOSE MISTAKES
A CONSTANT SENSE OF LOSS
WONDERING WHERE IT ALL WENT WRONG
IT'S TIME TO CHANGE THE OUTCOME
WALK AWAY
SEARCH FOR NEW HORIZONS
LEAVE BAGGAGE AT THE GATE
MOVE ON LOSE ALL ATTACHMENTS
THAT WEIGHS ONE DOWN WHILE TEMPTING FATE
LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE
PLEADING FOR THEIR LIVES TO CHANGE
THEY DEMAND SOLUTIONS
BASED ON BLIND FAITH
THEIR VOICES GO UNHEEDED
FALLEN ON DEAF EARS
HOPES TURNED TO FAILURE
FORCED TO FACE THEIR FEARS
THOSE WHO NEVER BOTHER TO ACT
HAVE THE LOUDEST OF COMPLAINTS
THEY WON'T STAND IN LINE
ASK WHAT DIFFERENCE ONE PERSON MAKES
WE'RE NOT STUCK INSIDE
THE LIVES THAT WE'VE CREATED
OPEN UP YOUR EYES
SEE THROUGH ALL THEIR LIES
AND DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE!!!
NO MATTER HOW WE TRY TO FIX THE FLAWS
WE'RE DOOMED TO REPEAT THOSE MISTAKES
THE CONSTANT SENSE OF LOSS
WONDERING WHERE IT ALL WENT WRONG
IT'S TIME TO CHANGE THE OUTCOME
WALK AWAY
WE'RE NOT STUCK INSIDE
THE LIVES THAT WE'VE CREATED
OPEN UP YOUR EYES
SEE THROUGH ALL THEIR LIES
AND DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE

PART OF OUR WORLD AND IT'S IN YOURS TOO,
AND THE MINDS OF ALL THOSE WHO OPPOSE YOU
THEIR THINKING WRONG
IT CAN'T BE RIGHT
IT'S THE EPITOME OF WHAT WE STAND AGAINST
THEY DON'T STAND AT ALL
THEY'LL JUST TALK SHIT, BUT... DON'T DO A DAMNED THING ABOUT IT
I KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT WRONG WE...
BUILT OUR WHOLE LIVES AROUND THIS
GOT HEART AND THEN SOME
GOT SPIRIT, BORN TO RUN
LIES TOLD OF BETTER DAYS,
SPINNING VICIOUS CIRCLES, CYCLING, SPIRALED AWAY
WE MISSED THE CHANCE A FEW TIMES,
NOW I GUESS THAT WE'RE TOO LATE
I KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT WRONG, WE BUILT OUR WHOLE LIVES AROUND THIS
NOT TRYING TO BELONG,
ROLL THE DICE, TAKE OUR CHANCES
I KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT WRONG... WE BUILT OUR WHOLE LIVES AROUND THIS,
NOT TRYING TO BELONG...
ROLL THE DICE TAKE OUR CHANCES
WONDERING WHAT COMES NEXT, CAN'T PLAN UNCERTAIN FUTURE'S
THROUGH THE CHAOS WHAT HOPE IS LEFT

SITTING IN THE DARK, WONDERING,
WHEN THE END WILL COME,
WHILE TAKING STOCK OF WHAT WE'VE DONE
THE BEST OF TIMES HAVE LONG SINCE PAST,
UNDER THE DISILLUSION THAT THEY'D LAST
WE CAN'T GO BACK TO THAT
SO MANY THINGS
WE NEVER GOT TO SAY
(UNSPOKEN WORDS)
HAUNTED MEMORIES
TRYING TO FIND OUR WAY THROUGH LIFE,
STRUGGLING JUST TO SURVIVE,
WASHED UP, TORN DOWN, FADED
BURNED OUT, JADED, USED UP, CAST ASIDE...
NO SILVER LINING IN THE DARKEST TIMES
BRIDGES BURNED, THOSE FRIENDSHIPS SEVERED,
(CUT THE TIES)
BUT WON'T BECOME OBSOLETE
STANDING TRUE TO THE IDEALS (WE HELD BACK THEN)
UNTIL LIVING LIFE GOT IN THE WAY
TRYING TO FIND OUR WAY THROUGH LIFE,
STRUGGLING JUST TO SURVIVE
WASHED UP, TORN DOWN, FADED
BURNED OUT, JADED, USED UP, CAST ASIDE...
NO HOPE FOR REDEMPTION,
WHEN WE CAN'T TELL WRONG FROM RIGHT
