Wasted time, wasted youth and debt
The factory shut down a couple years after I left
The people are flooding the streets
This restless life is a deadly disease
Living way past our means
Supply and demand but it's not what we need
But we want it, yeah we need it
People want what they can't get
That's the problem, the imbalance
That's the part that makes me sick
But we want it, yeah we need it
People want what they can't get
So we stand up and shake our fists
And show them that we give a shit
Every single day is goddamn strange
(but it stays the same)
I don't want to waste my heart
On something I can't change
Reliving our past mistakes
Over again until civility breaks
Living way past our means
Supply and demand the American Dream
But we want it, yeah we need it
People want what they can't get
That's the problem, the imbalance
That's the part that makes me sick
But we want it, yeah we need it
People want what they can't get
So we stand up and shake our fists
And show them that we give a shit

Freedom
01:49
|
|||
|
You better shut your mouth
if they don’t like what you say
you better watch your back
if you’re gonna do things your own way
you wanna know what it’s like to be free
and not just one of the pack
you wanna know what it’s like to be free
somethings you can’t take back
will you put up a fight?
or will you do what youre told?
will you give in and compromise?
or will you break the mold?
some things you can’t take back

you got me
i could never fall in love with you
never told no, never alone
save your breath

Wide Awake
02:13
|
|||
|
i can’t ever get to sleep
my head is spinning with
the world falling apart all around me
i close my eyes so i can breathe
but it does nothing to relieve
the stress that’s crawling up inside me
i’m wide awake, no i can’t sleep
i’m sick of having terrors in my dreams
one day we’ll wake up from these lives we lead
into the mass delusion we all seek
i can’t sleep

Out Of Touch
02:38
|
|||
|
just like that i was out of sight, i was out of mind
you were out of touch, you were out of time
to salvage what was left, the remnants of a wreck
a clear lack of respect of any kind
i was missing heart, you were missing spine
i was a bit too much, you were unrefined
if i clean up my act, would you overreact?
would you still have my back, partner in crime?
when you don’t stand next to me, i feel like i could fall
you make me want to disappear, with my back against the wall
you had an axe, all i had was teeth to grind
and it made sense to be sick to death of the ties that bind
further with every step
wondering what’s next
but i’ll never forget that friend of mine

Remember
03:14
|
|||
|
we live where no one goes, everyone is always cold
around here nothing grows and we reap what we sow
you’ll never walk alone
you’ll always make it home
we know what no one knows, we see what no one shows
everything here is always closed, we walk against the wind that blows

Cemetery Drive
03:45
|
|||
|
walking through this graveyard to catch a glimpse of you
but i can never find your ghost, just a dead bird or two
prowling rows of tombstones, contemplating sleep
walking through this graveyard to see what i can keep
well i got scores of silk bouquets and a dusty oujia board
i’m doing what we never did, i went and got my future toLd
silver lining caskets, reading epitaphs
walking through the cemetery dressed in black
walking through the graveyard, holding my sons hand
and i just can’t seem to explain what we both don’t understand
i’ve been treading lightly on dirt that’s freshly dug
walking through the cemetery without love

Overworked
03:36
|
|||
|
we punch the clock at the start of the day, does anyone know why?
i try my best to make some sense of it all and the ladders that we climb
does it matter at the end of the day or are we just wasting time?
a generation is going down the drain, an axis in decline
it’s hard to admit we’re getting old
that voice in the back of your head that tells you that i told you so
my brain is fried and my body is spent, i’m fine
i think i’m overworked today
in the middle of a crisis age, it’s fine
i think i’m overworked today
every day is an uphill battle, a scam that’s so obscene
from the pages of a high school textbook, the history’s wiped clean
they wear us out and they beat us down, they’ve tortured us and still
we hate each other and ouRselves with the system that they’ve built
and now we take it back
the shadows that they cast
we gotta do something because time goes by so fast

Tempus Fuck It
03:13
|
|||
|
i breathe deep, the stars die
beneath me, my heart lies
a deep sea, the great vast
you and i will see the day
that this will come to pass
it takes me away from here
and brings me back to you
take what you want from me
and bring me down to you
one last breath, the dam breaks
the dark depths, the final act takes shape
the clocks stop, the time flies
you and i will see the day
where we won’t have to lie

New Direction
02:50
|
|||
|
i need a new direction towards the setting sun
it’s time to face my demons before the day is done
i never thought about it, a catalyst for change
i always thought that i’d drift away
never make it to the other page
rerun these old regrets like a film inside my head
subdued, emotionless, a chapter left unread
one day we’ll all stop drifting
but the feeling’s never gonna be the same
one day we’ll all stop drifting
but our hearts will have a different thing to say
it’s a simple distraction, something i can’t touch
tired of living in an altered state
because i don’t even like it that much
rerun these past mistakes like a film inside my head
subdued, emotionless, a chapter left unread

Shadow Of Youth
01:38
|
|||
|
you’re a joke, it’s sad but true
i hate to say you’re nothing to me
your reflection is just a shadow of youth
a derision of what you used to be
you lost your cool and you opened your mouth
when you should’ve kept it shut
you’ve lost your mind and your out of touch
now your time is up
you’re a fuck, i hope you choke
your throat closes, you turn blue
so fucking die with a hole in your head
and every word is true

Beginning Of The End
03:33
|
|||
|
if we keep traveling west we could live forever
If we give it our best we could keep it together
Won’t be seeing you again
And I’ll be missing you my friend
Won’t be seeing you again
The beginning of the end
If we never look back we will never get old
And we never forget that we won’t do what we’re told
Won’t be seeing you again
And ill be missing you my friend
Won’t be seeing you again but I’ll be listening

Rad Girlfriend Records Dayton, Ohio
Started in 2011. We aren't going ANYWHERE.
If you like Waste My Heart, you may also like:
supported by 30 fans who also own “Waste My Heart”
A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!!

hardcore punk, jazz, alien themes, kind of all my jams wrapped into a tight package. Intense, freaky, lean runtime but feels dense especially being sectioned into essentially 4 parts. Easily one of the best punk records of the decade so far. Also that drumming...holy shit
