stand up to the standards set
laid out for all to see
and you slipped up
only yourself to blame
now drowning in apathy
you were so quick to fall
all I know of you has changed
and remember, you once stood so tall
now medicate, to relieve some strain
I set myself
nothing short of free
I set myself
nothing short of free
all you claimed to hate
became your first escape
and this path we walked, you strayed
laden by the shame
to fight the demons inside you turned to fuelling the fire
solutions you won't find while losing sight of your mind
but I set myself free

A Reason

a reason to feel alive
when the heart and mind
are set to divide
the urge you feel
out weighs the strength inside
in this world we fight the same fight
a reason to feel alive
the urge you feel inside
a reason to feel alive

Will To Fight

I sense my time slips away
finding it hard to relate
can't see a sign or anything of use
persistence will see this through
too much at stake to let this go
have to overcome, and strive for more
expectation and pressure goes straight to your head
to fill the void when there's nothing left
day by day caught in stagnant ways
break free from the thoughts that remain
too much at stake to let this go
have to overcome, and strive for more
a will to fight
a call to heed
a will to fight
a fire to feed

you wander down a senseless trail
but tell me where does that road end
the motives lost, a disconnect
a facade, you play pretend
the values you preach
lay so far out of reach
found a stage to speak but no voice of change
wise up or watch it slip away
a truth you can’t deny
the passion and desire
is what we hold inside
stay free of thoughts unpure
and of thoughts unkind
forever question why
won’t settle for less or just abide
learn to sacrifice a life of greed
to reap what you sow
and take what you need
to lust for love and what was lost
confront, and learn to rise above
a truth you can’t deny
the passion and desire
is what we hold inside
reach out, speak up
be heard, voice what’s inside
won’t live someone else’s life
I’ll look straight ahead
and leave no words unsaid
a truth you can’t deny

Times Will Change

relief, I can’t seem to find
embrace the feel to grow and strive
for the vision that is clear in mind
I’m just holding out for what will come in time
dissonance of soul
bears nothing but pain
and when hope leaves the heart
what’s really left for change
fleeting thoughts of brighter days
caught in time we will rearrange
to burn the ember, and spark the flame
holding out, cause times will change
searching for purpose
I yearn for harmony
ease my mind each day I survive
still closing in on peace
I’m not where I thought I’d be
but exactly where I should
and those surrounding me, my dearest
know our love is understood
won’t stand to lose all that we gained
this solid ground, our stress and strain
while this longing inside still out weighs the alternative
I’ll live against the grain
times will change

To Live and Withstand
by Anklebiter
Northeast straight-edge hardcore taken to the cathartic, infectious extreme; a fiery EP fueled by spite, spirit, and sick riffs.

A standout full-length debut in what has been an incredible year for hardcore. Ecostrike play a incendiary, impassioned brand of straight edge metallic hardcore that recalls One Truth-era Strife and early Earth Crisis, but are far from being a simple retread of 90’s past. One of the year’s best releases.
