Xoxo Favorite track: Punk-Rock Messed You Up, Kid!.

Elphus I'm not sure how the change from Heavy Dancing came to this. It's so vast. It is wonderful, and as much as I love what I used to know, I am still excited to see what else Swain can do. Listen. You won't be disappointed.

Track Name: Punk-Rock Messed You Up, Kid!: “High school messed you up, kid”
“Parents messed you up.”
“Drugs messed you up, kid”
“Punk-rock messed you up.”

Feel just fine, with this past of mine.
Punch my guts, grow me a spine.

“Love messed you up, kid”
“Expectations messed you up.”
“Your wits messed you up, kid"
“Punk-rock messed you up.”
Track Name: Hit Me 'Til I Break My Bones (demo version): Occupy myself with the thought I'm doing well.
Smile at every child who's young enough to tell.
Instigate the others while I cover up my flaws.
Our apathy will tear us apart.

It's senseless.

Too bored to be with people, too alone to never try.
Disappointment is the reason that I cover up and hide.
Take another stab at getting through to me.
The pain is not the thing that scares, it's what they want from me.

It's senseless.

Take a stone. Hit me 'till I break my bones.
Cover me in blood. Make me feel at home.
Burn my soul. Spread its ashes on the floor.
Take me for a fool. Push me through the door.

Some are born in glitter. Some are born in gold.
Some are born magnificent. But I was born too old.
A vision just obstructs you when a brain gets in the way.
Authenticity’s a problem if you think twice about what you say.

It's senseless.
