about

I spent some time hoping things would be better but couldn’t stop drifting further and further away. It always felt like I was waiting for a part of my former self to re-awaken and ignite something which had left me. – Nicholas Davis

lyrics

Since I’ve been around this house, there’s nothing left,
Not a room that won’t feel empty, as we refuse to break a smile,
Is this what you bargained for, or was it something more?

There was a time when I’d get away to, a place where a felt less tired, a point where I won’t let go.

We’ve got all this life to run, and now we’re motionless,
as we fall into the traps, of slowly settling up,
Is this real is this real and can we really get out of this?

I’ve got nothing left to give, I’m simply running out of hope,
No longer gripped tight to the groove I had
But what else can we do, and who is keeping score?

There was a time when I’d walk away,
I’d keep a night bag by the door, and make a one way mission home

But now I’m not so sure, have we been here before?

Not Like This

Iron Chic's narrative, some of the most aware & conscientious lyrics you will find in punk. The music is just as damn good... "There's no answers, so take a guess & make up the rest" "I couldn't stand to watch you die, so I died first, that's how I survived" 🌸💀🌸💀🌸 ©ough©ool
