lyrics

How can you bruise a mind so young? A victim of your dedication. Images that will always live on, this is not beneficial. You promise yourself authority and control, a final link in her education. Is that your love? A fist coming down? Father why? is the final sound. You’ve used her body to vent your inequality and anger. It is hard to believe that you still call her daughter. You’ve turned on her because you know you can win. When will it stop? When will it end? What will it take to stop you next time? There is no resistance, she is only five. You look at her lovingly, now keep this quiet. This is between you and me, now keep this silent. And this is what you’ve taught through your methods, to hate her father for the rest of her life. And what is that you say, when she refuses your advances? You’ll beat her to a pulp, she’ll learn what respect is. She will learn nothing while living in fear, except to mistrust what she held dear.

Incredible discography. The paper bag 7" on Gravity was a game changer for modern hardcore punk. The lyrics to "Blind" opened my eyes and I never looked back. Ryan Walker

This is in my top 5 hardcore releases. I was lucky enough to see their last show at Goleta Fest in 1996. I have the CD, and all their vinyl, and am happy to support it here! Thanks, Council, for putting your releases on bandcamp. RyanTG
