New Direction

What do you mean it's time, time for me to

Grow up? I don't want any part. It's right

To follow my heart. The new kids ran, ran

Out the back door fast, and the bands

That came before they had their noses in

The air. Pretending that they care about

Our scene just because our money's

Green. I'll tell you stage dives make me

Feel more alive than coded messages in

Slowed down songs.

Now you're so ashamed, now I'm so

Ashamed of you. We believed the same

Things. You stand to the side. Rebirth of

Hardcore pride. It all came true, too bad

You can't see all the good things that I

See.

Back in, back in the days when I'd wait to

See the old bands play. It didn't seem

Like wasted days. I was so sincere, but

Now I see more clearly. Music's only

Work to them. It's not to me. So I say,

Hats off to bands that change. Good

Luck, go your own way. Why play for us,

If your heart's not in it? Cause what might

Seem dumb to you is pounding in my

Heart.

Now you're so ashamed, now you're so

Ashamed of you. We believed the same

Things. You stand to the side. Rebirth of

Hardcore pride. It all came true. Too bad

You can't see. No, you just can't fucking

See it.

Now you just turn your back. You said I

Don't want it anymore. Old friends you

Attack. Our pain out of touch. You don't

Get it do you? New stage, new ideas.

You don't have to make excuses for us.

Sitting there looking back, I'm scared.

Don't spoil memories of the way things

Were
