lyrics

The first band I ever played in
We covered The Blamed at our first show
It was 1996 and we broke up after it
My next band tried hard to be American Steel
Or just real bad pop punk
Either way, I wrote my first song with them
It was called Gothic Girl
Junior year it was punk with ska
Stupid band names, real best friends
Until I let it end
Midway through high school
I knew I could never quit
This was the only thing
That ever would really fit
Played every genre
But I’ll find some more to try
This 8th-grade obsession
Will go with me when I die
Then I spent 3 years, or more
On metal and hardcore
Back then the 24 crew
And straightedge gatekeeping
Was laid on so thick
Until I had overdosed on testosterone
And it all made me sick
I guess it was inevitable
That the post would come after the hardcore
I could never tell if I was behind
Or ahead of the times
I started listening to Q and not U
And Chinese Stars
And learned to dance
And play bass with choppy guitars
I might do it again someday
But time is a Wizard
And 2010s indie found me
I got new friends
And we all went in
I felt lucky
Then I got kicked out
And I got so down
It consumed me
So back to post-punk bands
Or just bad punk bands
Until 2013
This band will outlast
Every relationship
That I’ve ever had
I’m finally at peace with it
This band will outlast
Every band I’ve ever quit
I can’t kick myself out
So I guess that I’m stuck with it
This band has changed me
More than I care to admit
Let’s go for 10 years
Let’s never get sick of it
