1. Dead Stare For Life Past-forward, pause, rewind Look Back, now well-aged and lined Decrepit and nearly, blind Pity how time flies Dead stare for life 2. Past Tense A lifetime spent standing still Like dead flies gathering on a window sill A sibling disgrace who believes to be The broken limb in the family tree PAST TENSE Too late to save, pulse stand still A dry-lunged solo death rattle Regret in a tear-filled trance A never forgotten remembrance PAST TENSE 3. Sarcastics Please explain me to me Tell me what I'm all about You're the one who knows me best Tell me why am I depressed Tell me what I'm all about Turn my pockets inside out You're the one who knows me best Tell me why am I depressed 4.

Hacked To Chunks Education promised a helpful head start Now home sweet home is a shopping cart "Tomorrow Never Knows", penned a Beatle Later shot dead. "Imagine all the people" The radio weeps the 12-bar blues Television breaks the daily news Life's the word we're told to choose Time stands still win or lose Living on time known as borrowed Here today gone tomorrow 7. Lament Such a struggle to overcome the grip of self-destruction MIND-TIED WORSE THAN CONFUSED Emotionally scarred from the heat of hate I contemplate my expiration date Mind-tied worse than confused now Such a struggle to reason why to convey the problems on my mind Mind-tied worse then confused now To scratch the surface of escape at a loss for words I can't relate Mind-tied worse than confused Losing words I choose 8. Soiled By Hate Caught in a web of sever distress Prayed upon by nothingness Buried alive in a grave of despair Soiled by hate and a lack of care A dance of pins and needles 9. Downsided I myself, no one else My world Hell, an empty shell Mine in pain Yours not mine, thin or swine Rain no shine, dead in time Mine in pain Misunderstood, never could Never tried, always lied Mine in pain 10. Push Down & Turn Confined within my bedroom cell Here by choice outside is Hell Isolated to myself I hurt inside but I'll never tell More than just a passing phase Living on self-numbered days Masquerading my inner rage This is my Patter of change Try after try, I'll never learn There's only one way out...

I just have one question though, if you don't mind. I've heard a lotta rumors about this record and how it was made. One of the more crazy ones is that the lyrics for this were written after a failed suicide attempt or that Raul the drummer needed to take speed to play it. Are any of those true? I've no idea if they are but based on the result, I believe them!

[@powerviolenceog]

@@BIadelores I shouldn't say anything but it would be a no to both? Maybe I was left in the dark No suicide attempt!!? And Raul and speed? Nothing I witnessed. I remember a lot of pot at practises, he definitely didn't need speed to play fast! Pure talent I do know* he dropped acid(shrooms) at a show in San Diego, Che Cafe and it was an amazing "Animal Muppet" sets I ever witnessed. He played so fast hard to keep up. Brent wrote everything while in isolation after health issues Confined within my bedroom cell. I hung out with Brent a lot.

@@sicituradastra9216 Racial progress has everything to do with punk/hardcore and vice versa. I understand what you mean but remember that regardless how one feels about the discussion of race and racism, there's always some f***** in our scene who is racially prejudice or refuses to acknowledge it. How many "anti racist punks" own records by SCREWDRIVER, CHRISTIAN DEATH or even G.G. ALIN? I know quite a few right here in Los Angeles. They say they "collect rare records so it's ok." When you get called the N-word by people including your own (I'm Black) race in punk must be embraced. I grew up around Nazi punks and other racist scum taking part in the street fights against their attacks, so race played a huge part in my punk roots. I'm grateful for all my friends of mixed descent who've always had my back.

Ahh this album is so fucking good

[@q404]

i love the ambiguity of the described only way out, "push down and turn." is it the pushing down and turning of a door knob or is it talking about opening the cap of a medicine bottle? i think I'm analyzing this pretty obvious lyric too deeply. thanks for coming to my ted talk.

[@tadpolerecords]

[@abesirevic]

[@offtherecord912]

And still the problems they persist....

THE HARDEST FUCKING SHIT I EVER HEARD!

[@SLAPnPOP726]

fucking killer, so goddamn raw

[@caseyengle7324]

All I can say is holymotherfuckingshit! Well done and thank you!

[@ErichVonNasty]

Every compliment you all have paid this record is accurate, BUT it’s really hard to ignore the fact that one of the band members was barely recovered from a particularly nasty cancer and that is the reason for the trippy/ambient moments. Cannot be imitated.

[@powerviolenceog]

Actually his kidneys failed and right after the transplant he wrote This Record.

[@ErichVonNasty]

@@powerviolenceog shit. Thanks for the update. I still have a Flipside with them in it. Guess I misread the interview.

[@powerviolenceog]

@@ErichVonNasty it's all good if you go back he does talk about that. I remember that interview. A night we played with infest. I'm the vocalist so I have the knowledge

[@ErichVonNasty]

@@powerviolenceog this is really unparalleled. Still.

'Cus it's bout the sad reality of life man

[@powerviolenceog]

: o ) years later if you ever get this yes it is about that exact thing. Rage and sadness. Tried my best to convey that feeling of the other guys lyrics

[@MeDeadToCoal]
