My Reputation Precedes Me
You feel like I’m safe, I’m a sinner
A conscious mistake made just for fuck’s sake
I was born a straight faced grinner
And I’ll let you bend before you break
You might be right when you say
(ch)
I’m a loser
I’ve heard it before
I’m a failure
I’ll fail some more
I’m a liar
You’re common response: (I told you as much)
What the hell? What the fuck?
We’re all on a path of destruction
A journey of sorts without romance of course
where we all undervalue instruction
you’ll regret what you didn’t do, so fuck remorse
Be it pleasure, be it pain
I’m still the easiest to blame
(ch2)
I’ll admit, I’m a loser
I’ve heard it before.
I’m a failure
We’re all liars
but we have much more fun
under the gun

It’s Not Rocket Science
Is it time to keep character and let it go?
I’ve been low, more than you know
If you notice then enjoy the show
(ch)
Welcome to the universe defined by me
We’re all abused here but you look like you need some sleep
My hypothesis, tell me if you agree,
that you know when you grow tired, you’re growing tired of me
Hey, is it new enough still to make your escape?
Now that we’ve got nothing to say,
there’s nothing left and you’re already so far away?
(ch)
(br)
(Is there something that I’m missing?)
Like a savior starving for attention
you’ve done nothing that bears a mention
but add confusion to condescension
when you say,
Is there something that I’m missing?
(ch)

Lines in the Road
Where the fuck is the green grass?
I’ve been around this town to every underpass
and searched to the best of my ability
The best I can hope for now
is the ground under the leaves under my feet
(ch)
So let it be known, I’m coming home
to the lines in the road where I belong
I found myself on a long drive over county lines
Let it be known
Down here the enemy is just the passing time
and maydayers and naysayers are no friends of mine
Our darkest days turn into brightest nights
and soon enough you find, they’re the best times of your life
and it’s your life.
(ch)
(br)
It’s easy to forget the exact time we died
But harder to forget the reasons why
You won’t find me raising flags of solid white
With the four famous last words ‘at least we tried’
(ch x2)

The Business
Get me out of this business
The posters never showed this
I’ve learned to drink and fuck
and be down on my luck,
be happy where I’m stuck
It comes on like a disease
without antibodies
A habit full of hypocrisies
in a moment you seize
(ch)
It’s only logical, the more we fight we fold
And run back to a time our heads, our
hearts were full of the times we stole
no understanding the ever-expanding hole
We don’t matter to the kids anyway.
For that matter who’s to say
what matters more than making today
matter to me?
So rate us on a scale of who gives a fuck
It’s been long enough
Ten years and ten million beers
I’d say we’re happy where we’re stuck
It’s our luck
(ch)
No understanding the ever-expanding,
all-demanding, crash landing
But it’s this hole that makes us whole

Long Island Sound
I believe you are the light that’s on the sea
that I’m chasing down in a ship ready to sink
but if there’s one thing we learn
it don’t pay to be discreet
(ch)
You are the furthest thing from the here and now
But you’re still here at the edge of the Long Island Sound
I’ve been here just watching you disappear
Every last goodbye is music to my ears
I was watching you turn
into everything you hate
But if there’s one thing we learn
the best mistakes are all worth the wait
(ch)
(br)
Run it down
Another light at open sea
Run it down
Another heart used sparingly

Kick ass EP. I’m a big fan of No Trigger’s whole catalog but this EP harkins back to the good ‘ol Canyoneer days and man is it refreshing. Vocals are killer as always and the band continues to rock razor sharp guitar melodies that never get convoluted. Okay stop reading this and go support these guys.

I love it. Have to agree with still bummed: this packs an emotional punch but rocks hard. I've played this whole album repeatedly over the last week which is unusual for me. Exhilarating, poignant, intelligent, melodic.

Complex (and fast, of course) riffs and song structures. Their most caothic album.

The Language Of Injury
by Ithaca
On their debut record, the London hardcore upstarts cross-up mosh-ready fare with melancholic ambient passages, weeping guitars, and virtuosic vocal harmonies, but its romantic veneer is much more complicated than it seems.
