Stinks Song 00:58
May your bleeding piles torment you May corns burn your feet May crabs the size of horse turds Crawl 'round your ass to eat And when you're old and dying Nothing but a syphilis wreck May you fall through your own asshole And break your fucking neck

SCARS 02:58
Is this what they left you with Tell me how it all works out Are there any friends left or did they leave at last call Alone angry and used up did they ever give a fuck Your feelings of attraction The motions of a civil action they all carried you Straight through Some prick is working the door tonight Three nights felt like three years Your attitude and self respect please tell me Just what the fuck happened If anything sounds good to you at all It just sets me up for the fall Don't get your friends too involved If there's something to say then say it out loud I think they've done enough for you A winning gang of fakes And it will always be the same and I will always be to blame Like betting on a horse that dropped dead at the starting gate Too little too late Some prick is working the door tonight Three nights felt like three years Your attitude and self respect please tell me Just what the fuck happened If anything sounds good to you at all It just sets me up for the fall "I don't remember what was so fucking special about you."

Enough Rope 02:08
Give you enough rope I know you'll show me what you can do Is it enough to hang myself with when you are through Self deprecating, your toxic nature creeping through Should I just shut up or is this revelation overdue You've talked yourself into too many corners, And tried to fight your way out kicking You've tried to argue yourself right with all the Pointless fights that you've been picking Give you enough time I know you'll show me who you are Proof of your battles a never ending show of scars You're fighting shadows, a rabid dog just chasing cars In isolation, your fragile mind locked behind bars You've found yourself shit out of options, Nowhere to go you never learn Bullshit refusal to change your place in life i should watch you burn You've found yourself shit out of options, Nowhere to go you never learn Bullshit refusal to change your place in life i should watch you burn

Nice Taste 02:36
Progress for the sake of progress, xenophobia and hatred Those things that make the world go 'round 937 people, turned away and sentenced to death Before the ship could run aground When heads are turned, then lives are lost No lessons leaned, ignore the cost No payment for the sins committed every day No recompense made to the ones pushed away Millions with no food or income, billions spent on building commerce 10 dead for every penny spent Starving children freezing homeless, donations made to ease your conscience Ignorance to where the money's spent When heads are turned, then lives are lost No lessons leaned, ignore the cost No payment for the sins committed every day No recompense made to the ones pushed away

You always try to point the blame When things don't turn out your way That's why it always ends the same You don't hear a word that I say I always try to compromise When we don't see eye to eye I don't know why You don't give a fuck what i say Cause i just don't get it, you're so thick headed Always ends this way: I go storming out when you start to scream and shout That's why, it always ends this way You always think that you're right And your way is the only way That's why we never get it right You don't give a fuck what I say Cause i just don't get it, you're so thick headed Always ends this way: I go storming out when you start to scream and shout That's why, it always ends the same You don't give a fuck what I say Cause i just don't get it, you're so thick headed Always ends this way: I go storming out when you start to scream and shout That's why, it always ends the same

Don't think I won't cause you never really thought I could Leave you behind cause I finally learned how much You've been dragging me down Not willing to leave it behind, in frozen time We stay You think that I'm so beholden to you i promised you don't think I won't see it through Don't think you can cause you've never really been inside Successes measured against supposed failings of Those around you That can't find the strength to sever ties, to pull their lives away You think that I'm so beholden to you i promised you don't think i won't see it through

For the first time in my life it's locked down and locked tight my mind is focused I can see through the bullshit that I have been handing myself day after day For the first time in my life I don't fear the long night I'm far from hopeless Can't forget where I came from or ignore how I got here Regress or deviate I can't hold on to the shit that's been bringing me down For the first time that I recall I want me around When you sleep with clear conscience it's easy to see things For what they are Can let go of my thoughts keep myself on the right track Keep nothing under guard Keep them close to my heart like i should from the start Those things of importance Can't stop recreating what i knew is fading away Into the dark I won't waste time with the shit buried deep underground For the first time that i recall I want me around There's nothing going on I can honestly say nothing's wrong And I'm hoping you will always want me around Giving up is not an option When letting go of the past And I know this way of life is gonna last

Were we ever this alone?, to you it makes sense Dead weight just holding on, the future becomes past tense We're trading smoke for steam, while you stoke the fire All along you believed, the lips of a murderous liar Every city's got its sinners, and we're not exactly saints Everybody's got their flaws, and we have no complaints When you wake up alone, armed with your defense Remember who was stone, and try not to choke on regrets Every city's got its sinners, and we're not exactly saints Everybody's got their flaws, and we have no complaints Everybody's got their moments, standing out on that ledge I reached out my hand to guide you As your dropped off the edge

Don't know where I'm going but I've got somewhere to go Don't wanna be where I come from and where I am I just don't know Stood at the edge of hell and watched the world in flames Been locked in solitary, weeks of pounding wind and driving rain I just keep movin' on, keep trying to stay alive Can't eat don't sleep just keep moving It's been 3 years since I've seen anyone i know Gotta keep rollin' got a shanghai migraine GO Can't see the sun rise without burning my eyes I can't escape the lows, I know I just can't live without the highs I just keep movin' on, keep trying to stay alive Can't eat don't sleep just keep moving I keep on wandering, I'm never coming home Gotta keep rollin' got a shanghai migraine GO I just keep movin' on, keep trying to stay alive Can't eat don't sleep just keep moving It's been 3 years since I've seen anyone i know Gotta keep rollin' got a shanghai migraine GO

Rykert 02:39
Rykert wakes up everyday And goes to bed the same way every night Ashtrays stacked up ten times higher Than the sum of their dreams When the sun, sets in the west Prepare yourself for a long night Dismissal and acceptance When the sun, sets in the west Forever clinicizing the struggle He's a junkie like a working man With debt enough to feed The family of his first wife And the one he never sees When the sun, sets in the west Prepare yourself for a long night If you're feeling 86'd When the sun, sets in the west The shadow that you casts changes nothing There's a fire on the hill Burning it's way downtown When it gets to your stereo I hope your family is found

about

Dead To Rights St Catharines, Ontario

Dead To Rights is the result of a need to start from scratch: musicians that wanted to make the kind of music they wanted to hear. A throwback to the '94 west coast punk sound of Pulley, Good Riddance and Lagwagon, modernized with metal infused leads and timing, dead to rights is the music you always sat around wishing someone still played. ... more
