about

Rest in Peace my brothers.
This album is a dedication to Rickey Bates Jr. and Mitchell Dubey.
These two were a shining examples in my life of the constant motivation to move forward and live my life like I could die tomorrow.
I grew up with Rickey and considered him not jsut a friend, but a brother and truly the other half to my being. Somone that paralelled my everything.
I met Mitch when he was on tour with the flaming Tsunami's YEar ago and we had an instant bond with just about everypossible interest in common.

"Take nothing serious, it’ll all be over soon."
-Rickey Bates

lyrics

III. Let Tradition Die (F.O.A.N)
The sun sets
I lay with the owls
Close your eyes
Count to 100

My eye lids are heavy
My mouth is dry
Thoughts of you swimming in my mind

We are always falling apart
Small threads, of days gone by
We are always patching holes in our lives
With dental floss, and sewing needles
When i lost you, i felt ripped in half
I can't mend my heart, i can't bring you back
I miss you brothers , i miss you everyday
I can't mend my heart, i can't bring you back

For the rest of my days
I will not repair this wound
I'll keep this as a constant reminder
To value my life, to live for you and I

IIII. Apathy and I
It's hard to fight for good
it's hard to care so much
When no one wants to change

We don’t dig graves with shovels anymore.
We use the hands we were given
for the acts we regret.
Still young men,
We age,
With every fistful of untethered earth.
