Friday, December 29th, 2006 This one is fitting.. Back to Ian MacKaye for some more words of wisdom from Revolution Summer era (1985) Washington, DC…

 End of a Year by Embrace

I don’t like parties
They avoid the truth
People lying
In search of a good time
We smile avoid
Unpleasant situations
Put it off, maybe
It will go awayCome together, divide by ages
We’re always talking thought
But nothing changes
It’s the end of a year…
There’s another one coming

There will be no victory
No progress made
If we do not stand apart
From the enemy
Oh weak foundations
That we’ve laid
Melt with the years
You are nothing

We don’t move forward
But away
We distance ourselves from
Our history
We justify it with cheap cliches
We’re just scared of dying

Words are not enough

    Time, I absolve myself of your vow to vanquish me.
