about

Lightning fast riffs, hammering drums and layered vocal melodies combine to tell an epic story of defeat, redemption and realization on this nearly 5-minute long track. From the starts and stops to the changes and drops, "Systems" is easily the most sonically and rhythmically diverse track on the album.

lyrics

Wishful thinking
It always gets the best things every time
Twisting everything done wrong
Until it seems just seems right

Watch it take over and
Know it's not worth knowing what we know
And just let it go

It's time to find out what it means to grow
We see it, feel it, we don't want to know
We take it all in stride until we lose it all
It's in the words we use as weapons on each other

Just one moment could have meant the difference
Between right now and where we are

But I don't find it hard to see
Innocence masked by misery
Where would we be

I'll feel it all again until I die
Your voice inside my head, your face at night
We take it all until there's nothing left to take
It's in the labels that we put upon each other's lives

Forever....we put them on forever

Changing hearts and changing minds
That story's getting old

It's the things that we defend
And the systems that we live in

You can ask what we've become but
I don't know what
We've become
Or where it goes from here

Don’t leave me alone
In the systems that we live in
'Cause if the system fails I might break down
And lose what’s left of me, and I’ve got no way home
So for now I’ll take a seat and rest my weary head
From these systems of control
Don’t Leave me

Ends Meet

With equal parts aggression and optimism, Ends Meet fuses elements of 90's melodic skatepunk, hardcore and thrash with classic punk and a fresh take on DIY music.

We call it modern punk for modern times.
