Permanent Damage

Not My Lane 01:47
Not My Lane I do not like that I’m in your jam I never agreed to this Life is not just an endless line Waiting for new kicks I don’t believe in the things you see Or the things that you hold true I don’t believe in your way of life Or the things you say and do Get outta my way Get outta my lane Look at all the animals and how they live They never put in overtime They only work for what they actually need Most the time they all just lie Maybe we should learn from the way live Maybe we should all take heed Maybe we should live more naturally Instead of trying to get rich You will never understand that “the Man” is not the man I’m afraid you’ll never see that we are not the same Get outta my lane

Loom Of Death We keep on counting down the days We can die a thousand different ways Returning? Down in the dirt you say? It sits there waiting patiently Like a cat it waits and stalks its prey I guess we’ll keep on dancing through the day and night Cuz what’s the point in dying when I feel so damn alive I hope it’s not too hard for you, you can always get down and prey Whatever it is that gets you through to enjoy another day Death is always on the loom

Permanent Damage It’s permanent damage the signs you all ignore The tide has grown and soon overflow It’s permanent damage there’s just no room for more Best pack your bags and get out the door The olive tree won’t grow The bomb shelters won’t hold It all might just explode Just accusations No lessons learned Just mass inflation No voices heard
4.
This Is Hell 02:45
This Is Hell Spent all my money, spent all my time Trying to find a place to hide I’ve scene the country, I’ve scene the scene So many don’t have a place to be A place to be Oh I didn’t know this is hell Over and over the hill There’s no going backwards you know Be careful the seeds that you sow, that you sow The future will not be so kind Some drink the water Some drink the wine Some can see and some are blind Don’t go to Kansas or Arkansas Don’t go to Pinson Alabama Alabama
5.
Old Wine 01:57
Old Wine There’s no wars that are justified There’s no doctrine that will make it alright There is no manifest or destiny oh no! oh no! Same old wine in brand new bottles Same old wine, same bad taste Same old wine in brand new bottles There’s no room to negotiate Forever wars oh its nothing new It goes way back when the slaughter insued They came like wolves from the east to the west oh yeah From the farmlands to the hills No ones safe from being killed Installing good neighbor policy From the heartland to the sea People yearning to be free The bad man slaughtered their family
6.
Salesman Of The Century There’s a sucker born every minute A con man waiting to knock and trim it From Donny T back to hungry Joe They’ll break your trust and you’ll never know They try to tell you that they have the cure All your problems will just disappear You only lose if you never try it It’s the greatest thing since sliced bread Hook line and sinker They got you by the gills There’s no release and that’s for sure He’s the salesman of the century And all his goods you think you need He’ll sell you lies on top of lies He’ll sell anything that you will buy They build you up just to take you down They make you feel like you’re their best pal There’s not a rule that they won’t break It’s the price you pay to participate In this game you sink or swim The honest man he will never win The vultures wait and plot they’re scheme The only option is win or rig
7.
Slow Down 02:25
Slow Down Not enough time to find the truth Not enough time to watch the news I think the world is falling apart can’t you see They’re following a horse with no cart Not enough time spent with my girls Not enough time to see the world Not enough time spent with the beach and the sea Not enough time to even read Give it time and we’ll figure it out Lets not lose hope I won’t lie I do have my doubts Just give it a go Slow down Slow down you’ll find what you’re looking for They asked me if I fell on my head I told them that I actually did It wasn’t to far from the sink to the floor My mother told me that’s what happened
8.
My Doom 02:06
My Doom You won’t know who’ll you meet Til you go down every street No you won’t know what you like Til you try every piece of pie I’m walking down it’s Friday night My head is filled with booze I can’t stay home I might miss out or it could be my doom You say you don’t like doing drugs You only like giving hugs But if you only tried Tylenol Then there’s no way you’ll ever know I’ll try anything once or twice Three times might be nice I guess I’m just a lucky guy My body overrides my mind
9.
Before The Calm Just a day like any other I fed the cat I fed the hamster Left the house I locked the door Bought some coffee at the liquor store Got to work a little bit late Didn’t think it could be my last day We heard the shots we heard the screams Couldn’t wake us from this horrid dream What’s this curse that plagues the earth Lost their way since the day of their birth It’s a wonder that we came this far Surprised the nukes haven’t killed us all Hope one day we’ll change our ways Saving lives not throw them away Til we change we’ll weather the storm Try to see it before the calm I wish they could give us a reason of why they died Or how it could happen it makes no sense to me The disregard for human lives it’s such a tragedy If it’s not the guns then it’s a crime for us to walk the streets Its utter insanity Before The Calm
10.
Complacent Youth We should have stopped it long ago but no one cared and no one realized We never new the toll it would take on our kids we’re all just patronized Just let it burn till it’s all gone Oh what’s the point when all the stats show there’s no hope They’re just complacent youth Just let it burn oh what the hell they’re just complacent youth We never thought it would go this far and now it’s done we’ve all been compromised I guess it was a little too late and now the rain is filled with chemicals Just let it burn!
11.
Poor Boys 01:51
Poor Boys We hear them stomping, stomping down the street Waving their big flags and chanting their hate speech We see them getting closer hunting all us freaks Flashing their big guns and clenching down their teeth We gotta stop them now They’re gonna kill us all Don’t let them be the martyrs Just run them outta town Will they stop at nothing til the blood is everywhere Claiming they’re the victims protecting what is theirs They’re just a gang of bullies we’ve seen their kind before Not unlike the brown shirts in the second world war Poor boys you make a lot of noise Poor poor boys we don’t want you in our town
12.
Anti Nature 02:02
Anti Nature We’re the Anti Nature We can come or go We can choose our path Go up and down the hill We’re the Anti Nature We destroy ourselves Our existence is our biggest threat of all We’re not like the trees we choose the place we root and grow We’re not like the sea, it just flows If we’re left to our devices then we’ll surely hit a crisis Oh it’s just utter madness for causing all this sadness The question that remains are we truly that insane When we’re the only ones that we can blame!

about

For all intents and purposes this is a continuation of my solo project, collecting old and new ideas and bringing them to life. Some of the tracks like Salesmen Of The Century and Complacent Youth were old KPF titles that were never made into songs. Also, a few of the ideas and riffs were unfinished songs from Utter Failure that I borrowed! Haha!

I also reached out for some help on this one, which is a first for me but I was on a quest to create my ultimate production and I'm definitely stoked on it! These songs came out killer! Big thanks to everyone who contributed!

Yotam Ben Horin (Useless ID) helped with pre-production. Which means, he went through all my demos and gave me his take and ideas on structure, tunes, chords, everything! I then finalized everything that worked best with my skills and vision. It was a super fun experience.

Gideon Berger (Useless ID) played the drums. I sent him the demos and he recorded the drum tracks in his studio. Gideon rules! Hit him up for any studio work!

Kyle Molotov (Brutal Youth) recorded the bass with his home rig and his buddy Brian re-amped the bass to capture his tone.

So is this a band? Not really, kinda? It could be. We will see!
