Band Dude Stuff

I'm really happy with the lyrics I've been writing lately. I think the new Ready Resist songs will be stronger than ever and really hard hitting. I'm writing with the hope that people will be able to latch on to them and realize that they aren't alone in the ways they are feeling. I'm at a point in my life, where a lot of repressed memories have been showing their ugly faces and it would be impossible for me to deal with these things if I didn't know other people have survived the same fucked up experiences as me. Here is an example of one of our more recent songs:

Synonyms for Suffering

Apologies to the sky
Faults measured in years
Hidden places tell the secrets of these tears
Of these tears

A victim in time
My history
Despite the silence
Draining me

This second grader
A darker game
Lessons to suffer
Learning pain

Apologies to the sky
Faults measured in years
Hidden places tell the secrets of these tears
Of these tears

(Apologies to the sky will never provide answers why)

Letting go of that summer afternoon
When chance chose a darker game
That I never wanted to play
That I never wanted to play

Still holding the guilt
That was never mine to bare
I'm on my knees praying
I hadn't done the things
You forced me to do

Absolution is just as lost as the kids
Absolution is just as lost as the kids
Absolution...
Absolution...

How the fuck did we endow
Reason without burning the world alive?
Alive.
