lyrics

Along came a storm
A self destructive wave
Tearing posters down if you're standing in the way
I tried to talk this out but it makes no sense to me
How could someone I care for so dearly
Do this

So helpless
And with no remorse
The only thing to make it worse
Was the way it all went down
Without a history of vacancy

I waited
The day came
You turned your back around the other way and you said
I'm not ready to meet up in person
Erase the past
Bend the truth worse than my back
It still hurts from carrying you all this way

You took it all away just to hurt me
Then washed it all away with an apology
Two days passed you got something in your head that made you walk away
Now you're perfectly content with being alone
With your thoughts and your shells are at home
In their cases
Now I'm falling into pieces

I wish you could feel my pain
When you pulled the plug I was left with nothing but self doubt
Now I'm just mad at myself
Take the easy street
Gonna shut you out

I wish I had more to say but
You left me down and out running on empty
There's a thorn in my side and a knife in my shoulder blade

Don't try to tell me this is my mistake
You're a week too late

You took it all away just to hurt me
Then washed it all away with an apology
Two days passed and something changed that made you walk away

I only ever got one chance
To showcase what you always said I do best
I'd give it all to go back to the way things used to be
Back when we were thick as thieves

Parts Unknown EP
by Frank Dux

Frank Dux incorporates everything important in skatepunk - blistering fast drums, sick vocal melodies, and songs that deliver in under 3 minutes. It's so fucking sick. Debt Cemetary
