lyrics

I've let myself overreact
That's just a fact
Oh, that's just a fact
I can't imagine I'll leave here intact
Bet I could call you a bitch and you'd still drive me back

I've let myself grow cold
I'm getting bold
Oh, I'm getting bold
Never again will I do what I'm told
Watch me unfold

I'll admit that I have outgrown
Submissiveness with a stubborn tone
But it's not like I'm dying to give you a hard time
I'm just trying to make it alone

I've let you get away
Every day
Oh, every day
With every comment you just had to say
Well, maybe telling me to shut it won't make it okay

So what if you've seen me turn red?
I'm moving ahead
Oh, I'm moving ahead
I'll never take back anything that I said
I'll repeat it instead

I'll admit that I have outgrown
Submissiveness with a stubborn tone
But it's not like I'm dying to give you a hard time
I'm just trying to make it alone

I have seen myself crack

I'll admit that I have replaced
Submissiveness with a stubborn face
But it's not like I'm dying to give you a hard time
I'm just trying to make it, in case

So what if you've seen me turn red?
I'm moving ahead
Oh, I'm moving ahead

I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Burner last year. They absolutely blew me away then and i can honestly say that this album had the same effect. Searing noisey hardcore at it's best! Adam McGillivray
