Hello spectator; farewell serenity.
I could shout less,
but then you'd just talk over me,
and I need attention.
"I'm just another kid with a guitar,"
and if you're searching for a light,
don't expect me to spark.
I will soon die out,
my voice will give in.
I'll get a real job,
dream of where I've been.
While you're comfortable,
I'll be catching up,
contemplating death
when I've wasted life long enough.
I was seventeen when I invested love
in this make-believe
life turned to cluster-fuck,
but I'm in good company;
I've got that at least,
so I'll make my impression
in hopes you'll remember me.
But if there's light behind the storm,
I'll never halt progression.
I will live past all misfortune
and deplete all adolescence.
Having deep poetic heart,
lacking all poetic fame,
I'll keep clandestine for eternity,
and no one will speak my name.

Damn.  This song.  I just love it so much.  I found this song not too long ago when I was having one of those days were I just let Youtube lead me wherever and so I clicked on this.  Granted I was a bit curious about it cause I've seen this song pop up on the suggested list a few times. I'm glad I did.  The lyrics are solid and the punk rock feel of it just ties it together.  It's more of a slower punk rock though, nothing that really makes you wanna get up and move.  To me, the song is more like something I would listen to when I need some back up on a shitty day.  

Probably my favorite part of this song: 

I could shout less,

but then you'd just talk over me,

and I need attention.

Those times when it seem like no one listens. Yeah. Story. Of. My. Life.  

All is good with this song.
