DESCRIPTION:
Portraits Of Past was a band from Half Moon Bay, California that made an impact on California's hardcore scene of the time, with a melodic, yet aggressive offshoot, playing a genre we could now call screamo. There was and there is nothing that can be comparable to them, musically speaking and it's the most meaningful band to me, enjoy!

Lyrics:

It's hard to believe the end has come
I won't say I'm not apprehensive about telling you everything
This will be my work
I've condemed myself
Let's not flatter ourselves
We're only as good as our trends permit
I've been so fucking critical
Tell me who hasn't
You have no idea what you were to me
Now you've left these shoes to fill, and they're so stiff
It's hard to start anew
