Soundtracks

So I've been listening to a lot of Wisdom in Chains lately-
1: b/c I'm feeling it right now
&
2: they are one of the HC bands around that I can still believe in, in the sense that I think they mean what they say and are for real.

I thought I'd share some of their more memorable shit with yall (it's not nice)-

Dragging Me Down
"I try not to complain but you know me better than that. Everyday gets lost inside of the last. My negativity gets the best of me. This place has lost its purity. I'm empty and I'm drowning. Can't find my way out and don't know when I fell in. This world is like the weight that's dragging me down. Dragging my soul right down to hell. I'm falling I keep falling, Can't stop until I hit This world is like the weight that's dragging me down. Dragging my soul right down to hell. I'm falling, I keep falling. I hope I smash in the fucking ground. There's no escaping, there's no running away. It kills a piece of your soul more and more everyday. I need forgiveness even though I never forgave. I pray and pray it's not too late to pray"

Out of Season
"I saw my mother so I asked her, "What's the end for your fuckin' bastard?" I lost it long ago and that's what I am. No happy ever after. I'm gonna hang from a fuckin' rafter and swing to the beat of my cold dead heart. Oh yea. What became of your only daughter? What became of all your sons? You let them leave without a reason. And now you're left with nothing but the same of an empty home. The tree of love is out season. I saw my brother so I asked him, "Do you think about the past and does it keep you up at night like you're all alone?" He said, "Man, I shed some tears and all I got was wasted years so fuck the world and all the bullshit that's in it." I try not think about it cause it only brings me down but on a day like this it's the only thing on my mind. I don't want sympathy. I don't you to agree. I just wanna smash the system that fucked it up for me"

and arguably, depending on the day, my all time favorite-

Too Far Gone
"Some people trade life for the bottom of a whiskey bottle. Too far gone, can't get it back now. Some people love the pills. They'll eat an entire bottle. If that don't work, they'll cut their wrists off. Some people love whores. They'll spend every fucking dollar. Go home empty,not an ounce of self-respect. Happiness must be a dream. I know it ain't material. I've seen men search the world but die alone in the end. So fucking alone. No woman, no wine, no pills can cure this fucking disease. It's in my brain. No matter what I do, I can't get it out my head. Years of memories flood my brain. I just wanna sever these fucking veins so I can sleep forever never coming back no more. Too far gone. Too far gone. Too far gone. Too far gone can't get it back"

And an honorable mention to

Vigilante Saint
"Jimmy wanted to an alter boy. He couldn't wait to serve the Lord. But he was tricked into suckin a dick and sentenced to Hell if he ever told. Now Jimmy don't trust nobody. He was shown that the world is cold. He was wronged gotta make it right. The vigilante saint's on a mission tonight. Jimmy got a pistol to spread some justice. He's gotta kill this bastard, Vigilante Justice. Go Jimmy, as fast as you can and send this motherfucker to the Promised Land. He was wronged, gotta make it right. His God's gonna get a body tonight. Jimmy got a pistol to spread some justice. He's gonna kill this bastard, vigilante justice. Go Jimmy go with a gun in your hand, make sure this motherfucker never does it again. Go Jimmy go as fast as you can and don't stop killin 'til the Promised Land. Jimmy got a pistol to spread some justice, he's gotta kill this bastard, Vigilante Justice."

Believe that shit.
