about

This song is about Cheddar and Jesse's friend who one fateful night decided to give his life.

lyrics

i’m so tired, of recollecting the memories
and trying to sort out what went right and what went wrong. It feels like yesterday we were stackin and mackin. Drinking till the sun comes up, smoke clouds above waiting to pour down rain. These weekends have passed, your lonely cries fallen on deaf ears. I never gave up on you. Friends forever, beyond the end! We've all sat around oblivious too blind to see whats goin’ on with this man right next to me. We can have a clue, we can have an idea, no turning back from this selfish attack. The pain and the horror that you have inflicted, like a snake bound up my breath is constricted. Speechless and shocked I never would of thought. The agony you must’ve felt to put that gun in your mouth. Hey there elijah, these are your friends, the ones who dream of you, think the world of you.
We forgive you, we wont point, we wont fight, or bicker over who killed who. We've learned so much, so much more from you. We’re soppin’ it up, stayin’ straight not givin’ a fuck. I hope you found, found what you were looking for, found the peace in death, that you couldn’t find in life.

(noun) a person who is unfaithful to a belief; an apostate.

Cheddar wanted a screamo band, B wanted a grind band, Tristan wanted a crust band, and Jesse wanted a metal band, so we just threw it all together, mixed it with that Florida flavor, our Miami mami Ashley, and made what we like to call swampcore. ... more
