BURY ME IN SMOKE

Windows are closing
Keep me locked away
No chance was given
To find myself today
My time of aging
Wonder when I'll die
But when my time will come
I know the reason why

I have an escape
Alone it keeps me safe within my home
I have a reason
To keep me satisfied until I'm gone
Don't regret the rules I broke
When I die bury me in smoke

Under the world
I wait for my fate
My soul is resting
Beneath my blissful haze
My time of aging
Wonder when I'll die
But when my time will come
I know the reason why

I have an escape
Alone it keeps me safe within my home
I have a reason
To keep me satisfied until I'm gone
Don't regret the rules I broke
When I die bury me in smoke




......please?

tour update 2

so we continue our story in florida. we drove down to zach's dad's house in orlando to visit and hang, ended up sitting in 6 hours of traffic for no apparent reason. so we finally make it down to ted's house and hang out, ted rules hard, always down to hang. from there we made our way down to lake worth florida and palyed at klein dance studio with soul control, i rise, like wolves, and a couple locals, one being john warden's band that we missed, sorry! all the bands played good sets, big ups to john mchale for booking the show. some trash was talked concerning the miami dolphins/baltimore ravens playoff game this weekend which is currently on (go ravens!!!) so that night was new years eve, we met up with pete and he fed us well with some vegan chilli and corn bread, so good. hung out and shot the shit with that dude and a couple dudes from forty winters were hangin out. met up with john warden and sam kooby later on at a house party which ruled until some shit started ragin out. bailed from that spot pretty quick and recooped over at pete's and caught some z's. next day we bolted on our over to tampa and played at transitions with a bunch of touring bands, big ups to JP and Tom for holding it down and helping us out. All bands played very well, sold some shit, hung out with zach's sister who lives in tampa then headed to andy's uncle's awesome house to crash out. next day andy's aunt hooked it up with some eggs and bacon and we all hung out with his fam and had a good time. left from there and headed up to jacksonville to play at doozer's pub with the same tour package. the show ended up not going down, the venue was double booked and the person who booked the show was not even in attendence so we bogarted out of that spot and strapped down for the 12 hour drive to jackson mississippi. ended up there at about 10am the next day and hung out with semmes who booked the show and a couple of his buddies, lots of dicks involved, it was wierd. i ended up sleeping in the van most of the day. we played the bombshelter with the mongoloids and mother of mercy. the venue was a super diy space which was awesome, lots of kids came out. mongoloids and MOM killed it, mongoz played a LOA cover, it ruled. so after the show we made the big drive back to north carolina and are at luke's house right now gettin down and watchin the ravens. we play in statesville tonight, home tomorrow, good ass tour. we got some local shows comin up, baltimore heads come out!

tour update, so far so fucked up

yo so we've been out since saturday when we made the trip to rock hill for the first show. met up with luke which got us all stoked and we were even more stoked to see the parking lot packed. tons of good bands on this show, surroundings, indifference, braindead, black birds, and our old buddies from way back iced x out. everything was going off for iced out when a fight broke out and literally the whole show was fighting, luke ended up gettin beat up pretty good and then another fight broke out outside when the owner of the place threatened luke's girlfriend and the owner ended up gettin taken out then the owner went to his car threatening to get a gun when the cops showed up. needless to say, the show got shut down, we didn't get to play, neither did luke's band, nations. check them out www.myspace.com/nationsnc so after that debacle, we went to luke's and hung out. yesterday was the wilmington, nc show at lucky's with the mongoloids, mother of mercy, troublemaker, at half mast, tons of other awesome bands. show went off well, mongoz played a good set kids went nuts. actually, so nuts that josh got moshed on, hard. he sucked it up and we went on about our shit, went back to lukes, crashed out, woke up got some taco bell and headed to columbia for the show today with soul control, i rise, and like wolves. our set went awesome, i was into it. josh was still hurtin real bad but powered through the set and we ended up taking josh to the hospital where he found out he has a broken jaw. crucial mosh casualty. he got some pain pills and some anti biotics so nothing gets infected and was told to stay on a liquid diet and ice his jaw, other than that, let it heal. so as a true man of the core would, we're stayin on tour and he's doin the rest of the tour with the broken jaw. so shitty personal luck so far, shows have been good though. so we'll see what the fuck else will happen, stay tuned

Baltimore hardcore

.... is on fire right now and our city wouldn't have it any other way. everyone that comes through recognizes and respects all aspects of our scene because fuck it's so diverse it pains me to think of being anywhere else. new bands have skyrocketed their way to the front of the scene becoming a regular name when your talking about hardcore in general. and not a single person in any bands around seem to only relish in that fact, instead it just continues on and we are not concerned so much about being apart of something big as we are just being there having a good time. you can see the jealousy and enthusiasm in peoples faces when you tell them where you're from but at the same time we sometimes come off as discontent with ourselves and it takes the music and an establishment full of friends and familiar faces to realize where we reaally want to be no matter what it takes. PRODUCT OF WASTE was so pleasing to watch last night, we had the chance to play with them in providence,RI. the thing i love about the most about this bands music is i think that we may share some very core beliefs (not hardcore, inner core) about society and its pigs. they're coming back to baltimore january 16th and i'll be there. this life is a war.... What needs to be said about TRAPPED UNDER ICE, we have known most of the members of this band for what seems like since we all picked up instruments and no matter what, it still gets me everytime they play. If they weren't a band, you know damn well all of them would still be out and about keeping their hands dirty in the voluptious baltimore scene! In regards to singing along to the last song i just couldn't get it together to scream into the microphone if that makes a lick of sense...so much respect and so much love there though. Last few days i have had an internal riot going on inside my head i'm fighting to stay on top of what's trying to drag me down, rather what WAS dragging me down... and fuck i'm so glad i can turn to heavy music to make me feel good again.

SHOUT OUTS: Gavin, Radell, Dick Chuck, Dan Klippa, Jusitce, Charles, Fat Jack, Asian Ryan, those dudes in altered state, Akil wit da hash, and everybody i don't see enough

this may have been a whack post to you but fuck it i wanted to write
