baby this nation's history...
this is the story of a boy
wake up, 8 AM and thirty, spend 15 minutes glorifying ignorance,
he'll have his daily migraineheartache, another teenage tragedy
let's burn it all down, lets start over, baby this nation's history...
Its a bit much I know, from "lets" to "so go!" so set it on fire and leave me be...











Hey there everyone, I just wanted to give you guys an update about the album and all. Cam's been in the studio doing some crazy mix-down, mastering, and general "put the cherry on top" type stuff. We are probably still about a month out from an actual release. In that time, we are still trying to get all the album art and such cemented in place. That's where you come in: Find yourself bored and in need of an afternoon project and have an idea that you think would look rad somewhere in the packaging for our new cd? Then go on and draw it, photoshop it, paint shop it, ms paint it (maybe not ms paint) or whatever'd you like it, and send it over to demerit7@gmail.com We'd love to see it. Now we can't exactly pay you, but your work would be seen just about everywhere we are ;) The EP is also still as of yet untitled, so the floor is pretty much open, but to help you out, I decided to post up some lyrics for people to go off of. Also feel free just about anything you want right here in the comments. (by the way this goes for any kind of design you feel inclined to make: stickers, t-shirts, icons, coffee mugs, edible underwear, temporary tattoos, etc.)

p.s. - if you have any idea where we can get a bunch of those metal needles that go inside the quote "1 inch buttons" unquote we paid way too much for, please do let us know ;)
p.p.s - i love you all, but only in that funny music way <3


Here goes some lyrics after the cut-



"Blind Faith"

I mean no disrespect
but with all these options
how are you so content

Wher eare you're questions
it makes no sense to me
you find it so easy to believe

Beat Me
Break Me
Leave me for dead

On this
Alter
Where you lay your head

Beat Me
Break Me
Leave me to die

Are you
Afraid to
Simply ask why?

These times are so confused
but so am I
you've got no reason to abuse

Can blind faith be called ignorance
Im as dumb as you
My blindfold is just removed

Its good to hold on
but what if you were wrong
would ity matter much to you
I'm not in Defiance
not in Denial
what are you thinking behind that smile?

"Good Friends (Are Hard To Find)"

Hello goodbye my very best friend
This could be our end
Tomorrow's not another day
The sun might rise
but I won't see it form 6 ft. underground...

Because they all say good friends are hard to find
I don't know anybody, I would rather die beside than you.

They say good friends are hard to find.
If you wanna kill me that's just fine
Just gimme some time to get my life in line.

I'm lying bloody on the floor
My heart beats no more
Your words like bullets to my brain
The sun might rise
but you won't see it from 6 ft. underground...

It was never like you
To be outdone
But nothing says your sorry like a loaded gun

Lying in the ground
Would be just fine
Just as long as I’ve got my shit in line…




----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




“Hit Me With A Shovel (Because I Can’t Believe I Ever Dug You)”

Its too bad that I could never say I loved you
Too bad that I could never say I cared
Too bad that I could never trust
cuz being right is something we'll never share

Its too bad that I
could never say I loved you SO GO
write your letter on apiece of notebook
papercut my heart wide open your eyes
I've got 41 wishes and they're all for the same thing
(they're all about me you)

Well as your driving home
underneath that bridge make SURE YOU
unfasten your seat
belt out the words that you said to me
and you were never meant to be yourself maybe then, this will end
(Maybe I can move on)

Its too bad me and you never TOLD THE
truth hurts this will be the last song that I will write about you

"Bleeding Ears, Broken Hearts"

We're sick and we're tired of all the lovers and liars,
first and last chances and the matchbook romances

All your best kept secrets all your biggest mistakes,
they're all the same and we're not... gunna... wait...


Turn off the radio we've got something to say
and we couldn't do it any other way

But with clever, clever lines with words that play
with your heart strings with which you're gunna hang

We're sick
And we're tired
of bleeding ears and broken hearts

We take back all those words we never should have said,
we've dug for them a grave filled with regret

All the timebomb's and girls like you,
high schools over, let's change that point of view...



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



"3/4"

You move me around, turn me inside out
the whole time i kept my feet on ground
now the role's are turned around for my last year
three-fourth's of us stayed in this little town
18 years have gone by and you say your done
can you hate my soul enough to say goodbye

18 years, all is over
you just sit around a cry
all you ever did was talk down to me
you made wanna die

you said to me
we're family
that means a lot
considering

the things you done
to me your
to me your
only son

“Part Two”

I've been living in this darkness for so long. There's gotta be something done.
Can't explain the way I feel, never felt it before, that must mean that you're the one.

My heart is screaming out, I'm just surprised you can't hear it from here.

I've tried 100 times to write this song,
But every time I tried, you guessed it, it came out wrong.

This song's so incomplete, there's so much left to say.
Will your passive aggressiveness turn me to clay?
