SEVEN DAYS OF SAMSARA
lyrics from the split lp with since by man

YOU ELBOW ME, I ELBOW YOU
what goes up? its coming around. attacking that new kid. initiation round one is the score and the outcome is defeat. fuck your sacred club in which we chose to compete. i wont compete. we learn from those who come before us. hopefully, we learn from thier mistakes. fuck you. heres for four years of laughing behind my back and fuck you. heres for four years of nothing to my face. i remember when you used to matter (to me). WHEN I FIRST STARTED GOING TO PUNK AND HARDCORE SHOWS, LIKE MOST NEW KIDS IN THE SCENE, I DIDNT KNOW ANYONE AND I COULD HAVE REALLY USED A FRIEND. INSTEAD I GOT NOTHING. TO MY FACE PEOPLE IGNORED ME AND BEHIND MY BACK THEY LAUGHED UNTIL THEIR BELLIES HURT. THIS SONG IS FOR JODY, WHO IS NOW A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE, BUT AT ONE TIME SERVED AS THE PARTIAL INSPIRATION FOR THIS SONG.

JEREMY CANT HACK IT
hey. this is for you. this is from you. this is the letter i could not send because i told you that i wouldnt be this way. but its hard and it hurts and i dont want to be remembered by a promise that i couldnt keep. (dont tell me theres nothing there) i dont want to be john cusack (dont tell me there never was) standing there with the radio in the air. it was a crime that it took me so long to tell you about the diamonds in your eyes and it was a crime that it took me five months (it took me so long) to let you inside my mind. this is what i was avoiding. this is what i was avoiding. this is why i was how i was. THIS SONG "BORROWS" SOME PHRASES FROM THE BLACK HEART PROCESSION AND ITS ABOUT THE PERSON WHO TURNED ME ON TO THEM. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.

SORTING THROUGH THE STATIC
once again its time for classical music. ponder the thoughts in my head. wallow in the greatness of a hug. how can you say unhugable? if i could wrap my arms around this dream id never let go. what if i had no arms? what if i had no arms and no legs? could you still love me the same way that you did yesterday? THIS SONG IS ABOUT UNREASONABLE EXPECTATIONS AND NOT TORTURING YOURSELF OR OTHERS TO MEET THEM.

lock me up in a cage, so i can tell it to you from first hand. lock you up in a cage so you know just how it feels, yea, just how it feels. another baby born and died for amusement and you dont get it. slave labor leads straight to death camp. "this song tells the story. architypical. the fate of the bastard. then one day her trainer struck her. she freaked out and took revenge." i will not pay to sit and watch them die. AS MUCH AS I LIKE TO SEE ANIMALS, I CAN NOT JUSTIFY THE ZOO OR THE CIRCUS. SURE THEY LOOK CUTE, BUT THINK ABOUT THE LIFE THEYRE LIVING. THAT CAGE IS ALL THEY KNOW. THAT IS THEIR WORLD. AND THEN PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THEM PRESERVING ENDANGERED SPECIES, HOW MANY BABIES BORN IN CAPTIVITY ACTUALLY SURVIVE? (the part of this song thats in quotations was taken from a song by man is the bastarad called "tyke." i hope they dont mind.)

whats the worst that can happen? all weve got is two months so lets make it count. ive lost six and now im done missing out. whats the worst that could happen compared to two months of constant joy. sixty-one days of constant smiles could outweigh a year of constant heartache while youre six hours away but im talking about things that have never been and i wont let that happpen again. in this far fetched reality that i tend to live where everything always ends up alright. its always happily ever after but you and me never even opened the book. how are we supposed to know what happens to the frog. ladybug ladybug fly up to heaven and bring my back a loaf of bread or just one kiss. just one kiss. WHATS THE WORST THAT CAN HAPPEN? PLAIN AND SIMPLE. THAT SENTENCE SAYS IT ALL. WE LET OPPORTUINITY SLIP THROUGH OUR FINGERS WAY TOO OFTEN. SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOTTA STICK YOUR NECK OUT AND TAKE THE CHANCE. THE SONG TITLE IS IN POLISH(thanks to chris' grandma)
