New Direction

(album: Ignoring The Guidelines - 2001)

What do you mean it's time
Time for me to grow up?
I don't want any part
It's right to follow my heart
The new kids ran
Ran out the back door fast and the bands that came before they had their noses in the air
Pretending that they care about our scene just because our money's green
I'll tell you stage dives make me feel more alive than coded messages in slowed down songs
Now you're so ashamed
Now I'm so ashamed of you we believed the same things
You stand to the side
Rebirth or hardcore pride
It all came true
Too bad you can't see all the good things that I see
Back in. Back in the days when I'd wait to see the old bands play
It didn't seem like wasted days
I was so sincere
But now I see more clearly
Music's only work to them
It's not to me so I say
Hats off to bands that change
Good luck go your own way
Why play for us if your hearts not in it?
Cause what might seem dumb to you is pounding in my heart
Now you're so ashamed
Now you're so ashamed of you
We believed the same things
You stand to the side rebirth of hardcore pride
It all came true
Too bad you can't see
No you just can't fucking see it
Now you jsut turn your back
You said I don't want it anymore
Old Friends you attack
Out pain out of touch
You don't get it do you?
New stage new ideas
You don't have to make excuses for us
Sitting there looking back I'm scared
Don't spoil memories of the way things were
