Rock star dreams have gone but still life carries on, wouldn’t change one thing, that was me 21
Fast food heart attacks, cigarettes and booze again, desperation makes the best cliches, the rats were mine to race
Time flies, memories fade, but I tried to follow the signs those days
Drive, accelerate, ‘til the gas pedal breaks
The lines, the pictures, the steadfast motives in my head, those nights are gone, but I can’t say I’ve regret
I faced the fears, the crowds, the cheers, carried by the soundtrack, trusting my voice through those half-blown PAs, just to pay to play
The van tossed me around, the check engine light sounds, this merch won’t sell itself, but that’s not what it’s about
Destiny’s a maze, survivors participate, and even if that means you run in place, at least you raise the stakes
Time flies, that goes without saying, I tried to swallow my pride’s mistakes, find what colors your fate, then why hesitate?
The lines, the pictures, the steadfast motives in my head, those nights are gone, but I can’t say I’ve regret
I faced the fears, the crowds, the cheers, carried by the soundtrack, trusting my voice through those half-blown PAs, just to pay to play
I, I kiss goodbye, the days, the nights, the bright stage lights
Fine, yea that’s alright, I risked, I ventured, it left me right
The lines, the pictures, the steadfast motives in my head, those nights are gone, but I can’t say I’ve regret
I faced the fears, the crowds, the cheers, carried by the soundtrack, trusting my voice through those half-blown PAs, just to pay to play

Super dig this record, and every song on it! Badass melodic pop/punk rock music in every sense of the genre! Great instrumentation and arrangements, melodies and harmonies. Steven Neufeld
Scott and Rufio brightened a lot of dark days for me, especially during college, and this record really scratched an itch I didn't know I had when it arrived during the pandemic. A very fun covers record. Sean Comerford
Pitch-perfect math rock from Kaneohe, Hawaii charges forward on raw, ragged emotion. A treat for fans of Polvo and Pardoner. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 27, 2018
