i tried my best to make it work
but you wouldn’t meet me halfway
no compromise and no words you say are gonna change my mind
i tried to save you from the hurt
but you wouldn’t let it be that way
no compromise
you were the one who dragged us down
made it too hard to stick around
made it impossible, improbable
i was the one who tipped the scales
but you sent them all the way
crashing to the ground into pieces
you stood your ground
no room to move
don’t understand the give or take
if this how story ends
then please let it be said
i’ve no regrets
you had to control it all
until the day i told you i was leaving
i couldn’t stay to watch you fall
watch you self destruct and destroy everything
everything you loved, everything we were
everything that we were yet to be
i lost belief, in you and me and all that we held dear
this is how our story ends
A perfect blend of ska & skater punk, this album has a hard edge to its sound, while still using uplifting undertones as a foundation. There are a few tracks such as "Flip the Switch", which explores a darker sound, or "Scavenger", which has a bit of a jazzy undertone, both breaking things up and making for a nice contrast from the other tracks. "Robot" and "Empathy" both have a more mellow and relaxing sound to them, and the latter makes for a perfect close to the album. Worth a listen. :) VigorousJammer
Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 31, 2024
Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
