DESCRIPTION:
From 2003's "Sketches of Undying Will"
I do not own this material. All rights belong to their respective owners.

I will aspire well beyond
The ethical boundaries found
In your exclusive subculture for the few
Grounded on the resentment bred into you

Lost in the labyrinth of the indefinable
Fighting like tortured rats over such an unworthy goal.
Has substance has been subverted?
Ambition runs its course?
Line up at Hot Topic for your packaged daily dose

What does it mean to gather here
In this amalgamation of rejects from your peers?
Is it "just another cheap product for the consumers head"?

And I
I will aspire to leave your punk rock dreams behind
As long as it lacks courage and fortitude
So if you act, act out
Of resentment and negativity
Then the underground scene
Is just another poor excuse for you

I will to. I will to.

Are we striving toward a cause
Or rebelling just because?
We scream unity
But leave it at the door after the show.
Wasting breath decrying sell-outs
While the tobacco industry makes out
Funny how the former is the easier course to follow

What are our values and our moral obligations?
Don't feed me straight edge;
It's just another well-disguised addiction
Are we chicken shit conformists like our parents?

And I
I will aspire to leave your punk rock dreams behind
As long as it lacks courage and fortitude
So if you act, act out
Of resentment and negativity
Then the underground scene
Is just another poor excuse for you

Such a precocious war we wage
Give up/give in = the enemies we keep at bay.

I will let you go!

And I
I will aspire to leave your punk rock dreams behind
As long as it lacks courage and fortitude
So if you act, act out
Of resentment and negativity
Then the underground scene
Is just another poor excuse for you

It's time to break this down
