Get on your knees, beg for forgiveness
You broke everything and you can't fix it
But you will not admit
That you're no saint, a drunk, you steal, you lie
And with a loss of grace you realize
You’re setting yourself up to take a fall
Looking back on life, does your past still keep you up at night?
Can’t ever be that way again
Choose to live it wise, make a change to have a better life
And never be the same again
No one is an innocent and no one can be called perfect
You've got your skeletons and you're scared to the bone
But I know what’s in your head and I understand the old you is dead
You just wonder when this misery will end
Looking back on life, does your past still keep you up at night?
Can’t ever be that way again
Choose to live it wise, make a change to have a better life
And never be the same again
Self righteous and hiding who you really are
Trying to cover your scars
But they’re there, don’t deny who you really are
You play the fool when you drown your sorrows at the bar
That life won’t get you very far
Can’t stand to go on another day, can’t stand to look at your own face
Just know that with the actions that you take, you’ll never be the same
Looking back on life, does your past still keep you up at night?
Can’t ever be that way again
Choose to live it wise, make a change to have a better life
And never be the same again

Gutsy rock & roll from this Brooklyn group bursting with hot-rodding riffs and snarling vocals, hearkening back to classic dark punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 24, 2023
Taking cues from Midwestern emo and early ’10 pop punk, this Leeds, UK outfit are full of heart— not to mention hooks. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 21, 2022
