lyrics

Hello my friend, let us begin
As we both pretend not to condescend
Meet face to face, ignore the bitter taste
We'd both prefer to not be in the other's place

Cool
We both keep our cool
But irony is cruel
And I know luck is cruel
We'll both be dead

It is what it is, the words from your lips
Cannot eclipse that we're on a sinking ship

Cool
Isn't the water cool?
We're slowly sinking / Cruel
You know we're drowning / Cruel
We'll both cough cool

Like the tempers of those who wait
They see the by-products of what you waste
Can't play your hand of the cards they deal
Sinking together, now we'll

Cannot pretend that this isn't the end
Either heaven sent or hell bent
Say your goodbyes, we're out of time
Wash away the lies and my despise

Cool
We both keep our cool
But irony is cruel
And I know luck is cruel
We'll both be dead and cool

Like the tempers of those who wait
They see the by-products of what you waste
Can't play your hand of the cards they deal
Sinking together, now we'll

Swallow our pride and the water, too
Down your throat to end you
One lead to your doom, you choose

about

DEMANDS D.C.

"It might be hard to distinguish between music that is angry and music that is determined, but DEMANDS quantifies the latter for me. Vocals are pushed to their absolute limit, and the music sounds like a burly modern re-interpretation of a '00s fastcore interpretation of DC hardcore...you know, bringing the sound back home but making it sound new all over again." - Terminal Escape ... more

Pure Disgust
by Pure Disgust

Powerful in every way, this DC hardcore group's first full-length is the siren song to having no home as a person of color—in punk, in society, in America. It could not have arrived at a more appropriate time. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jul 15, 2016

ERE
by STORMO
