Lyrics:

I tell myself
To keep my head from reeling
Don’t trust myself
I can’t ignore my feelings

I try to sit down
I try to relax
I try to take time
I can’t take things back

Trying not to panic all my life
Just can’t convince myself
Or anyone else not to give up

Don’t care what else
They say cause I’m not falling
Don’t pick up
Social collapse keeps calling

So carve your own path
Curve it right towards the light
Like a runaway train
On it’s last run tonight

Trying not to panic all my life
Just can’t convince myself
Or anyone else not to give up

Cause there were times when I was too mad to apologize for my mistakes
And I just couldn’t understand the amount of pressure that it takes

Still trying not to panic all my life
Just can’t convince myself or anyone else
We can talk until the dark turns into light
Just can’t predict what’s next
But we still gotta try not to give up
Yeah

My son is high functioning on the spectrum and maybe im an asshole but this video is a testament to the hearts and minds that continue to make punk rock such a beautiful subculture for everyone.. It's not exclusive by any means. The 1990s punk renaissance is validation of that.

Anyone implying an antithetical notion arguing otherwise can sit on their pile of Flux of Pink Indians records and fu*k off.


PS - if you've never listened, I implore you to listen to "Some of Us Scream, Some of Us Shout". Absolutely incredible.

[ZakkiLowe]

I'm loving that we're getting so many videos.

[Robin-unc]

Every time I hear this music, I pray for my son ... He was a sweet shy gamer boy, and then...he lived with his dad...can you say felony record?

[anaherrera]

What did you guys do to me!!?? This album is the only thing I wanna listen to, ALL THE TIME!!!
❤

This album has renewed the fun that punk has been missing. I can get behind the dad rock moving forward.
