It’s about when your coming up the whole world shuts you in, then spits you out / I’ve since the light and my eyes have been around  And we fall on shattered knees with hope and dreams and something to say  And away with blame from me when the ride I take is so far away  Times not far away See above the blur and reach your arms to both  Horizons stick your finger in the love of all, the beauty that’s besides you! we fall on shattered knees with hope and dreams and something to say  And away with blame from me when the ride I take is so far away  Times not far away I don’t know what to do when we don’t have control I too wouldn’t mind the beat staying steady Watching the world from a view only the gods can allow and now we watch as hawks things start to get heavy  We stop dreaming, we start living our life, we stop dreaming  On and off and on, often not enough why don’t you just give in. Stand and believe again take aim and shoot into hawks eye  Times not far away, it’s never far away and now I’m here to stay, I’m never far away!! And now I’m here to stay Live, die, your time to fly Express no reason why Our eyes go blind We turn on lies No doubt that secrets why How are feelings come to life Its always felt like we should try Expressing, regretting, condescending Things got heavy we broke the seal

We look back, and can’t believe we got so low   The directions were clear but we still got lost in the rearview mirror    I’m still not quite sure what trip we where on    But I’m really scared for the kids    Because hope is a 4 letter word   Harmony do you miss we?  Still no way to believe in we   We can’t afford the highest dose and you know this.     Still didn’t stop us from deleting our notice          The directions were clear but we still got lost in the rearview mirror   And now we’re cringing and we’re scared we might blow this   Harmony do you miss we?  I don’t want to stay home anymore Still no reason to believe in we   Wake up calm down You don’t make sense Everybody look around Lets push this crowd  No harmony if we can’t hug it out   We don’t like this Everybody’s melting down You don’t make sense And your blaming all your friends Everybody lets rally now I see hope in our eyes to love and not despise We own them to unite For those that fought hard and died  We gotta do more than try We gotta reach out and grab the sky  We can go on living life  We kick and scream.. left and right We won’t fold or just give in Cause in the end we all must...

Your lips are zipped with a closed mind Trapped! No Passion! Your to Blame   Your life’s one big black void And all those freaks you hang with!? What’s their deal…haha   Your lips are zipped with a closed mind Trapped! No Passion!   Your head is messed up!   Unzip your lips Open your mind Trapped No Passion You’re to Blame Unzip your lips Open your mind Trapped No Passion You’re to Blame Zip your lips Shut your mouth Your head is messed up Zip your lips Shut your mouth Your head is messed up Zip your lips Shut your mouth Your head is messed up Shut your mouth Shut your mouth And now I’ll just take it Even though you just fake it It’s all that we know. And when it finally kicks in All those words that you said start to take toll   And now my feelings decay The punishment that you slain I never wanted to smile But then you finally speak up and it sounds like your stuck in a massive void The last thing that you said Still rings in my head ‘You never wanted to dream’ But your mouth says one thing While your mind disagrees, you’re a constant void   It’s time to flip on the switch It’s time to unzip your lips Stop with that negative void Your future is here but will soon disappear if you keep it up Your future is here And you’re the one we all got your back Unzip your lips Open your mind Trapped No Passion You’re to Blame   Unzip your lips Open your mind Free your passion, you’re to thank   Unzip your lips Open your mind Trapped No Passion You’re to Blame   Unzip your lips Open your mind Shut your mouth Shut your mouth Zip your lips Shut your mouth Your head is messed up Zip your lips Shut your mouth Your head is messed up Zip your lips Shut your mouth Your head is messed up Shut your mouth Shut your mouth

Eternal Days 03:16
Burning hands on desert sand, the days could last all year, I always knew you worked to hard, just to get us here, As I watch the trains roll by dreams aboard, I could not have, we washed our face clean once again/ and we forged ahead, In the eternal days.... We never knew where life would chase us, how Did it change us, we never knew where life would chase us And sun stained our souls and spines with out forgiveness without regret, it’s been a tough year so far I fear we haven’t seen the worst yet As I watch the trains roll by, dreams aboard, I could not have, we washed our face clean once again, and we forged ahead because if life was at all fair, we wouldn’t appreciate the things we had/I bet you’ll find, the reason for it all, in the days of wind blown faces You never knew where life would chase us How did it change us In the days In the eternal days .....In the days of wind blown faces!!!! We never knew where life would chase us...how did it change us?

There’s someone else who sees your inactivity’s By visions not blurred by acts of humanity Smoke in your eyes keeps the pictures from becoming clear The plague in your mind controls what you hear You move on up just trying to infiltrate the opposition The polarity and restraint contradict your first prediction Optical illusions fill your thoughts unconsciously The reflection in the mirror shows your irony A flame of peace has stirred up inside you Strange modesty and I can’t define you A strange modesty has stirred up inside you Focus clearly now don’t close your mind Your ineffective way of life infinitely higher you climb Bodies fluid freeze up as you remove your hypnotize Try to blend your space with mine A flame of peace has stirred up inside you Strange modesty and I can’t define you Hooray Focus clearly now just trying to put your life back on track You’ve seen what happens and you don’t want to die like that You’ve tried so hard for a rewarding piece of mind The war is over brother time to die

Modem 2k 04:04
In the morning grab my hat out the door Kick down my block there’s some glass in the road as I fell on my skateboard As tweezed the glass the blood ran down my leg It was as red as the sunset same as when we met Do you still pour from your body Sour to punker now we’re still salty Bitter and foul makes us regret Hardly opposite but totally different identical twins Just because it makes sense It’s still non-sense Just because it makes sense it’s still nonsense Doesn’t have to make sense Rub off your hair till rug burns bruise Bright pink tells no secret Then energy peaks to pollute A cartoon suit swept it under the drugs Take the train down and I’ll be all right Just remember plastic kills Atonic Atonic Atomic Mesmerized by the sight Or was it just a bore Different strokes different folks something broke And we choked on our own tongues Just because it makes sense It’s still nonsense I tell my good friends That just because it makes sense It’s still nonsense

about

This batch of songs was primarily recorded over a couple sessions in late 2019 and finished right before Christmas, we recorded the songs live with minimal overdubs and no studio trickery. The songs ‘Hawkeye’, ‘Unzip Your Lips’ and ‘Eternal Days’ are brand new compositions. In a hail mary we decided to drop one more track that we wrote during the Covid-19 quarantine called ‘Harmony Do You Miss We’ which we felt was the missing sonic angularity needed to round out ‘Sour to Punker’. For our fans, we also wanted to include a couple old songs that we’ve had in our live show for years but never properly recorded. ‘Strange Modesty’ appears on our 1992 demo known as ‘The Red Tape’ but was never released other than bootlegs and as a bonus track on a reissue of our ‘Self-Titled’ album. The 4-track demo of ‘Modem’ from 1997 was also released as a bonus track and resurfaced to become a fan favorite in our live show. The song has grown over the years and we always wanted to do it justice in the studio. The EP title ‘Sour to Punker’ comes from a line in the ‘Modem’ lyrics and is the 2nd release on our family label, ImageArt Records.
