Hypocrite

about

Excluding the first 30 seconds of “Seasons,” “Hypocrite” is the oldest song on the record. This was the first song that I attempted to write for PC when I joined in college. I’m really into Converge, so I wanted to make something chaotic, jarring, and fun to play. I wrote this song with odd time signatures in mind. From its first days in demo form to now, there are probably almost 10 versions of this song, and because we attempted to put this on 2 releases before Weak Bones, PC feels confident that you’re getting the best one. Even if you ask nicely, I won’t send you demos of this one.

lyrics

I’m done talking
Screaming words I don’t want to hear
This is the life that I’m living
No more complacent years

But now the cord’s cut
I can’t rest my head
There’s a price to pay
When you are a

Hypocrite

Deadbeat

Parasite

Self forsaken leech

I’ve forgotten
Where I’m supposed to be
The bigger picture
What life meant for me

I remember
What I left for dead
When I close my eyes
The image burned inside my head

This isn’t who I am
This isn’t how I will be
This isn’t how I will end
As a
As a

Sycophantic rat
Lower than dirt

I’ve killed the old me
Turned to dust
Soon forgotten
I won’t be forlorn

With my eyes towards the stars
And my feet pointed North
With the wind at my back
There’s no more back and forth

This time won’t be the same
I’m promising myself
This time won’t be the same
I’m promising myself

I am free
Past is the past

My eyes towards the sky and the stars
I’m coming home I’m coming home
The wind blowing at my back
It won’t be long, It won’t be long
