Souvenir
by Lifetime· from Self Titled 7"
Do you remember when
unity meant something?
we we're gonna be friends
until the very end
do you remember when
hardcore was everything?
dancing, diving, always good times but,
i guess it had to end
young and full of energy
punk rock shows every friday night was the life for me
we swore we'd change the world, we swore with sincerity
but a few years down the line punk proved a false reality
minor threat, 7 seconds, s.s.d.
straight edge hardcore was introduced to me
and in my heart, like stone it's etched forever free
it's been a life time now since i felt your walls surrounding me
remember when.
i can't help but get down at the state of things today
are unity and togetherness remnants of yesterday?
sorry, i'm not willing to throw it all away
our memories are souvenirs of yesterday
i still feel the passion and the energy
i can't help but feel hardcore as a part of me
times will change and people change and so will styles
but something in the music just makes me smile
remember when.
