What have I done with myself?
I just don't know the answer to that question anymore
Thought I could pretend I didn't care about who was listening
But it's fake. I'm just a fake and nothing more
Still have no meaning for my question, no hope for an answer
And the feeling in my gut is getting worse
Is it the constant urge to make myself get better
Or the sinking feeling I'll never make something of myself?
I don't know
What if I just stayed the same?
Would it keep me writing down my pleas and questions?
What if I tried to get better?
Would the tape recorder stop and would I quit and drop to pen?
Everyone just wants something to relate to
And my pain is just something to bop your head to
Something for you to sing along to
For you to connect and for me to expose
So I guess if it's the best option for the future
I'll keep bleeding out frustration and remorse
Never mind the better choice for my well being
I'll take this blessing before I can shed this curse
So if I fade away and sink into irrelevance
I will take solace in the fact that I was heard
Fans of Polvo, take note! The excellent Kansas City band Abandoncy has the same fondness for corkscrewing riffs & melodies. It’s great! Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 28, 2022
This Oakland group pulls no punches, serving up a hard-hitting punk album that recalls the blistering brilliance of Refused. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 8, 2020
