Mic check (mic check)
Let me hear you say it
This is my truth and I will not delay it
Words of the soldiers ‘We are the people’
So listen up now…
Right to speak? So why we getting beaten?
When we say we won’t let them keep on repeating
The problems of our fathers
Peasants serve a king
The homeless and the starving
“Let the freedom ring…”
Hey, my message will not fray
I’ll make them rue the day
They doubted me
And I wake to chaos and I say
The fight is ours today
We’ll break away
Waive away our problems
Pass some legislation
Say you represent us with your high priced education
NO WAY! We need more than a minimum wage
But we don’t have the time to sit around and watch you procrastinate.
This is the moment, now is the time
We’re locked and we’re loaded
Pushing back on the line
You should have seen it coming
And now you will regret
We do not forgive and we do not forget
Hey, my message will not fray
I’ll make them rue the day
They doubted me
And I wake to chaos and I say
The fight is ours today
We’ll break away
[Instrumental]
Hey, my message will not fray
I’ll make them rue the day
They doubted me
And I wake to chaos and I say
The fight is ours today
We’ll break away

I can’t remember who you are
The faded picture is too far
Are you make believe or real I cannot tell
Their advice is do not dwell
They say I’m on my own
Can’t help but feel alone
All alone…
I tried to find out who you are
But there’s no trace except this scar
Words don’t match faces when they say that all is well
They whisper to themselves ‘It must be living hell’
They say you’re down below
I ask how long ago
They say I must let go (must let go)
I guess I’ll never know
[Instrumental]
(Please) What’s happened
(Let) to our life?
(Go) Shards and scraps are all that remain
(End) Can’t find you
(My) in this world
(Woe) and it is driving me insane…

Shouldn't Be You

Where, where have you run off to?
You can’t remember anything I say to you
All you live is a delusion
It takes you to a place where I cannot get through.
You had so much to live for everyday
But you threw it all away
And left this demon in your place
Hollow-hearted, strung out and you’ve lost your state of grace.
You are standing right beside me
But a million miles of blackness stands between
You think that poison will sustain you
You can’t seem to find another way in which to go…
You had so much to live for everyday
Now chemically decayed
And left this demon in your place
Hollow-hearted, strung out and you’re hooked on toxic waste.
And if I thought you’d come around
You’d prove me wrong and let me down
I cannot follow where you’re bound…
So now I’ve got to shut you out
I’ve got to learn to live without
There is no point to wait it out….
We had so much, I thought we had it made!
But now it’s all betrayed
You’ve left this demon in your place
Hollow-hearted, strung out and now hopelessly disgraced.
You had so much!
To live for—
To live for —
To live for everyday!
You’ve left this demon ---
This demon in your place
This shouldn’t be you!

I never thought you’d become one of them
I never thought you’d become part of the trend
I always thought things would be the same
I never wanted them to change
I never wanted them to change
You always said that you never would
All those out there saying ‘Yes, you should’
I always thought things would be the same
I never wanted them to change
But it’s different now
Oh it’s different now
Things are different now
You’re so different now
I’m standing back here watching you
Changing from the person I once knew
Now I know things will never be the same
I’m just so sad they changed
I’m just so sad they changed
Now and then I still think of you
Try to leave out all the bad things you do
I think of how it used to be
But it’s different now
Oh it’s different now
Things are different now
You’re so different now
I always thought things would be the same
I never wanted them to change
I never wanted them to change
But it’s different now
Oh it’s different now
Things are different now
You’re so different now

Black Gingham Spokane, Washington
BG’s punchy beats, powerful riffs and emotion packed vocals concisely captures the mood of conflicted feelings of teen angst. While darkness permeates the musical theme, a tone of hope/optimism lingers amid the vibe. Sometimes forceful and aggressive other times melancholy and reflecting, BG’s music resonates like a restless chord within the soul, indicative of anxious emotions in turbulent times. ... more
