The Devil and God are raging inside me
To have the complete Brand New experience you have to inhale Vin's 2nd hand smoke...
Okay, so maybe we didnt have wristbands for the show... so we didnt quite see their whole formal performance.
But we still got to see them play Degausser and Sowing Season, while also just jamming and goofing around while doing their sound check.
We (aka Jimmy) also got to talk to Vin while he was on his pre-show cigarette break.
Which I consider a pretty successful night.
And Jesse Lacey actually looks more like Brian than Danny in real life...
and his voice is just as good live, even when he yells. So I can be comfortable in my love of Brand New.
Their new cd (The Devil and God are raging inside me) is a definite must listen to, different sound... good different.
Back in school they never taught us, What we needed to know. Like how to deal with despair, Or someone breakin' your heart. Twelve years I've held it all together, But a night like this is beggin' to pull me apart. I played it quiet left you deep in conversation. I felt uncool and hung out around the kitchen. I remember I kept thinking, That I know you never would. And now I know I want to kill you, Like only a best friend could. Everyone's caught on to everything you do. Everyone's caught on to.. As if it happening wasn't enough, I gotta go and write a song, Just to remind myself how bad it sucked. Ignore the sun, covers over my head. Wrote a message on my pillow that says, "Jesse, stay asleep in bed." Don't apologize. I hope you choke and die. Search your shelf for something which to hang yourself. They say you need to pray, If you want to go to heaven. But they don't tell you what to say, When your whole life has gone to Hell. Everyone's caught on to everything you do. Everyone's caught on to.. (And I can't let you let me down again.) Everyone's caught on to everything you do. (And I can't let you let me down again.) Everyone's caught on to.. So is that what you call a getaway? Tell me what you got away with, Cause I've seen more spine in jellyfish. I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids. Have another drink and drive yourself home. I hope there's ice on all the roads, And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt, And again when your head goes through the windshield. Is that what you call tact? You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back. So let's end this call and end this conversation. And is that what you call a getaway? Tell me what you got away with, Cause you left the frays from the ties you severed. When you say "best friends" means friends forever. Is that what you call a getaway?!? Tell me what you got away with, Cause I've seen more spine in jellyfish. I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids. Have another drink and drive yourself home. I hope there's ice on all the roads, And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt, And again when your head goes through the windshield! (Is that what you call a getaway?) Everyone's caught on to everything you do. (Tell me what you got away with.) Everyone's caught on to.. (Cause I've seen more spine in jellyfish.) Everyone's caught on to everything you do. (And I've seen more guts in 11 year old kids.) Everyone's caught on to.. (Have another drink and drive yourself home.) Everyone's caught on to.. (I hope theres ice on all the roads.) Everyone's caught on to.. (And you can think of me, when you forget your seatbelt,) Everyone's caught on to.. (And again when your head goes through the winshield!) Everyone's caught on to.. (I can't let you let me down again.) Everyone's caught on to.. (And I can't let you let me down again.) Everyone's caught on to.. (I can't let you let me down again.) Everyone's caught on to everything you do. (And I can't let you let me down again.) Everyone's caught on to..
If it makes you less sad, I will die by your hand. I hope you find out what you want. I already know what I am. And if it makes you less sad, we'll start talking again. And you can tell me how vile I already know that I am. I'll grow old and start acting my age. I'll be a brand new day in a life that you hate. A crown of gold. A heart that's harder than stone. And it hurts a whole lot, but it's missed when it's gone. Call me a safe bet. I'm betting I'm not. I'm glad that you can forgive. I'm only hoping as time goes, you can forget. If it makes you less sad, I'll move out of the state. You can keep to yourself. I'll keep out of your way. And if it makes you less sad, I'll take your pictures all down. Every picture you paint, I will paint myself out. It's cold as a tomb, and it's dark in your room, when I sneak to your bed to pour salt in your wounds. So call it quits or get a grip. Say you wanted a solution. You just wanted to be missed. Call me a safe bet. I'm betting I'm not. I'm glad that you can forgive. I'm only hoping as time goes, you can forget... You are calm and reposed. Let your beauty unfold. Pale white, like the skin stretched over your bones. Spring keeps you ever close. You are second hand smoke. You are so fragile and thin. Standing trial for your sins. Holding onto yourself the best you can. You are the smell before rain. You are the blood in my veins. Call me a safe bet. I'm betting I'm not. I'm glad that you can forgive. I'm only hoping as time goes, you can forget.
Goodbye to sleep. I think this staying up is exactly what I need. Take apart your head. Take apart the counting and the flock it has bred. Goodbye to love. Well it's a right that will push you up, Right against the wall. (Everybody.) Take apart your head; (Right against the wall.) Chew it up and swallow it. You put blame but you're running. I feel safe in the incline. I can't shake this little feeling, I'll never get anything right. Goodbye you liar. Well you sipped from the cup but you dont own up to anything. Then you think you will inspire. Take apart your head. (Yeah I wish I could inspire.) Take apart the demon then add it to the list. Goodbye my love. You put blame but you're running. I feel safe in the incline. I can't shake this little feeling, I'll never say anything right. (I'm on my own.) I never say anything right. (I'm on my own.) I never say anything right. (I'm on my own.) I'll never say anything right. Take me, take me back to your bed. I love you so much that it hurts my head. Say I don't mind you under my skin. I'll let the bad parts in, the bad parts in. When we were made, we were set apart. Life is a test and I get bad marks. Now some saint got the job of writing down my sins. The storm is coming, the storm is coming in. You put blame but you're running. I feel safe in the incline. And I can't shake this little feeling, I never did anything right. (I'm on my own.) Never did anything right. (I'm on my own.) Take me, take me back to your bed. I love you so much that it hurts my head. I don't mind you under my skin. I'll let the bad parts in, the bad parts in. Well you're my favorite bird and when you sing, I really do wish that you'd wear my ring. No matter what they say I'm still the king. Now the storm is coming, the storm is coming in.
