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:

Put me down, lulled to sleep
It always works that way
Bullets in control
Watch out for your uniform in control.
Watch out for those stray bullets.
Tongue tied.
those outside define everything.
high beams - my dark side is everything.
No wonder high use of black plastic eye shields.
No one leaves the house without a kevlar skinsuit.
Let's not pretend any longer
A weapon and open grave.
Our desire
Just maybe a simple little glance.
Whose eyes are glued to your head
And we keep saying fuck you and they keep right on looking.
But I won't say one word.
No, I won't say one fucking word.
