and again they get together
different faces everytime
carrying the same banner
and being equally narrow in their minds
while i'm stuck between the money
- the money and disgust
the one thing barely paying bills
the other turning integrity into dust.
like i'm pretty sure i understand
the need to say goodbye,
to stand and watch the shell
that captured what you loved go by
and put it underground
for starving insects to be found
but why the scenery,
why the crypts,
why the actors,
why the scripts,
why tradition over true emotion?
praise the paychecks,
praise the cash,
saving us from a fundamental clash.
i'd be happy to wake up jobless
to people sharing what they feel
instead of hiring unrelated strangers
with profession in their hearts of steel.

RVIVR is like antidepressants for me. i just cant fucking feel anything but stoked when I listen to any of their songs. so triumphant. Guitar hooks for days, catchy choruses, amazing harmonies, everything that makes a perfect pop punk record. Mickie Rat
