Shark Tale Man what a catch! Extremely raw 70s reminiscent punk! Reminds me of the punk on the Tony Hawk's Underground soundtrack, which is ALWAYS a good thing. I'm very much a noob to punk and I'd love to find more stuff like this. That's why it's great that I just so happened to come across this band. I love this stuff!

Just A Ploy 00:37
Painted picture on the T.V. Don't know what I'm supposed to see Saw the picture again today Don't know how it can relate to me It's just a ploy Just a disguise A lie to cover a lie To keep you from asking why In your face, a blank facade What lies behind is another fraud A million minds repel the first Every reaction has been rehearsed All the pieces fall into place And at his desk, a new disgrace He's gone through many, he's gone through few How long before he goes through you? It's just a ploy A way to change your mind So when you're shown the lie It'll surely pass you by Painted picture on the T.V. They tell me what I'm supposed to see One reputation gets destroyed And millions don't know its just a ploy.

We're all escalating towards a fate That becomes a little more cloudless everyday There's something in our psyche that leads us along the way Hear no evil, Say no evil, and everything will be okay There's a life outside that's a little harder to find It might do you the labor of opening up your eyes But for many it becomes too easy just to push aside Do good for my species, why the fuck should I even try? With our species in doubt Apocalypse Now Now the plants rise up with shadows looking so austere Just like the smog, inevitable death is oh so near Though the air is dark, the future has never been so clear With the sun blotted out, politicians can finally cheer With our species in doubt Apocalypse Now.

No Escape 01:11
A man walks down the street wondering what he did with the last thirty years It's excruciating to watch himself slowly disappear The only memory left is of the day that he refused to walk away Left only with the failures of yesterday, and no escape So, if you're ever wondering what the moral of the story is Live your life any way you want, just don't make it like his Take a step back from the featureless minds that multiply every day For they too will one day know that feeling of no escape.

Knowledge 01:21
Help me There's nothing left to learn Millions of people around the world Tell me to exercise in reverse People seem to think If I push my mind aside Someone else will study up And show me what is right A cry out As I watch the books burn A million year legacy Isn't something we can earn We're more the kind To watch ourselves fade away Content with be passed off Mesmerized by the gray God help us We're fading into the night You might feel a sense of hope Cause who's to know what is right This isn't the first time We've put ourselves at stake This is just the first time We don't have what it takes There's nothing left It's all gone Just the ruins of a civilization Completely gone wrong There's nothing left It's burned down Nothing left to build on now.

The Truth 01:41
Points of view are cascading all around Any effort to compensate just let's me down Tired of being deceived by the dismal lie A lonely life of ignorance is no accomplice of mine Every night I'm tormented by the bitter sleep And the elephant in the room still won't reveal itself Spent too many long nights starring in the mirror Just trying to make this world look a little clearer I know it's something that I'm probably never going to find It takes so much effort just to pry those blinders off But I'll probably keep on pressing on like the ones who came before The ones who met their maker in the search for something more And its just so easy to fail again When searching for something so alien And I know this topic's a little taboo But I just want to know the....Truth
