I guess you don't understand there are some other ways for you to still hurt me in these fucked up days Another words you can't avoid to type remind me once again you were not a hype And then those links that artificially joined us just blew up: you're leaving, I felt nothing but relief, no tears I'd wish I could understand why you needed to tell me you'd been not ok after we just met Descendents "We" London makes me cry I'm like Jim Carrey in "...the Spotless Mind" So then I just realized there’s something wrong with me Tell me Jim: is there an ending after so long? I don't know So I feel I’m Melvin in the new NOFX video most of the time surrounded by this crowd that I don't care for that much Thoreau on opium at Sol on New Years Eve then I just try to hide myself then I just try to hide myself on drugs and I find myself with a nice girl with barely any chances to intimate, I’m done before it starts A not funny Hank Moody in California just fucking with the pain of missing just fucking with the pain of missing you It’s ok, just check my new reissue!

It's about time to raise our blinded sight and see beyond our feet Slowly taste the sick smell of the air While we just worry about the plastic dumped straight into the sea a million nets from the fishing put us to death Only ourselves can draw the curtains and face the facts out there Fuck big corporations aimed just to sell us a cliché Live a life is simple when we decide just not to care all aligned and dressed in costumes of model citizens Do you feel the sick smell of the air? Our home is warming, we like ignoring it we choose not to be disturbed And while just few out there are making fortunes we stand here just to be tortured floating in our public pond full of shit And though the issue is clear and deeply obvious no one here seem to be cautious Which direction are we planning to take? Why instead of spending time searching the answer get hands on, don't be a burden No one said today is too late to care Only ourselves can draw the curtains and face the facts out there Fuck big corporations aimed just to sell us a cliché Live a life is simple when we decide just not to care all aligned and dressed in costumes of model citizens Do you feel the sick smell of the air?

Finally light wakes up my inside, I was waiting you for a long time I just thought you were dead and the darkness became the new leader of ourselves But not so fast! rests of some shadows still remain inside my mind never letting me enjoy, always working the wall, get away I just need more time And it’s now when I sink down fast through the river of my tears but I’ll be fine I was always prepared seeing closely the end puffing up my old lifeguard Scratching hard all of my surface just to open up my heart I was never intend to get finally well fog is blinding my tired eyes And it was me who started this battle royale it was always me who also thought this could be fine but now I’m wondering if this will shut me down for all my life I’m not afraid of suffering but I prefer to calm down all these pains smoking weed again but it’s not for fun, just to hide my scars and I kind of enjoy this blackout makes me forget you for a while it’s never enough, sometimes even worse self destruction is my part time job And I’ll be waiting for this to be closed the things we let undone the things I could be doing all day long the good talks about nothing will be lost that kind of warmness in August the wetness of the lakes between the rocks Now things are written into stone maybe the rain can try to erase the words we don’t want to read anymore I hope this will be my last song about getting out of the hole

The Tide 03:34
I can’t control the way I feel and as the candle burns I waste another year Spending time trapped in this bubble that I’ve built It’s not the situation I thought I’d ever be in, it’s not for me, it’s not for us Until I hold on to this bottle and drink myself to death in my friend’s office My therapy to calm me down stresses you out and you’re so sick of saying it out loud Because it seems I’m a slow learner, I’m like a throne with no pretender, I head back home trying to fix my longest nights It feels so odd when you are not here, few years ago in fact we couldn’t be more near What has changed and what I’ve missed along the way? Has the “black & white approach” just turned into gray? Well, what a shame… The tide is dragging me as I have never tied the knots cause I don’t seem to be connected with your thoughts You have done so much for me and we have sailed through seas of any kind Let’s get through this weird December, joining forces for the better You expect from me to keep my word in my dark times.

Riffs and songs ruined forever a few keys bring memories of her I’m doing fine for kinda long time a million days would not make me forget And it’s with “Black Masks...” when I realize then while “Hope” I have to go “Power of Failing” and nazi games “May 16th” singalongs “Want” means nothing “Hero of our Time” cause driving the van and Murder City, I was squatting your home “Logic…” I don’t dare “7 Years” still forbidden something painfully historic I don’t need to hold And it’s with “Ten Things” when I realize then while “Dull” I have to go A “New Day Rising”, another hit we covered just for fun “We” means nothing Riffs and drums are taking over a few chords bring memories from there I’m doing fine for not enough time a million days might not make me forget I may look blue, rarely dancing and no fun I know that I won’t tell them when I listen one of ours but I am here to remind you with a smile in my heart Some miles away, barely talking and no band I know that you won’t tell me when you read or listen to us but I hope you also take this with a smile in your heart

I really miss what we had right before we both screwed it up not knowing how It's been 2 years but I just realize there's no light at the end of anywhere we'll never go back Plus collateral damages: some of my folks, they lately do tend to count me out I know it might look like I'm upset, it's not the goal, but it's just that makes me sad Then it was "the fighter", my refuge in the storm as I may think I was for her Your enemies are tough ones I get your rage, but I thought you were sure enough I was not one of those The worst I still cry is because a non-human one My desire to live was off, you always dragged me unconsciously back from the dark, so this time I owe you one I make myself sick while turning forty in my friendless year!

I’ve been holding on here, nothing like we’ve ever seen but here I’m back again soon enough to stretch my body I felt grounded all the time, losing hope along the path but I can see the end close enough to crank a smile 3 months stuck in bed, soon the lights will go through my door frame, again, lighting up another shitty day It is a commonplace to burn our time and even burn ourselves, knowing we have the time to understand despair And this gut feeling deep stuck inside my head, that we were going down a road which had no end Sometimes it’s hard to see how fragile balance is, now see the importance of the choices that we don’t make Now I’m in a better place, I come back to life again Logic’s telling me I should care, fuck that! I just need some air Everything seems a little changed, random faces but where are all my friends? Came back home, the chance was always there Right now the bill’s on me, choose your side and clear your mind, just breathe The wait is over now, this one’s on me And this gut feeling deep stuck inside my head, that we were going down a road which had no end Sometimes is hard to see how fragile balance is, now see the importance of the choices we don’t make

F.T.A. 01:25
I’m sick of dumb excuses, please get out of here! There’s no point on learning something you’ll deny - so shut the fuck up! How do you fund this slaughter and don’t feel the guilt from the million speechless lives you left behind? - right at your back door! It’s cute when petting your dog, you’d die for her , there’s no doubt but when it comes to leisure, a life is not an issue Offensive double standards, brainwashed by propaganda don’t hide that for your pleasure you’re stealing someone’s treasure I’m sick of dumb excuses, please get out of here! It’s as clear as animals aren’t here for us! “Life’s too short to make other’s shorter” Chris Hannah

Lame 02:40
Long time planning this summer shows to be confirmed our main concern is to make sure that Fon is here Less Talk More Rock while we are heading for some weed we’ve got the pool, we’ve got the friends, we lack some sleep We are all stuck in here just doing things we couldn’t do when we were kids even though it’s not enough to pay our bills Our merch guy eats as fast as he sells the Lp’s his feet smell is something you would not believe Best crowd in Prague I wish that Not On Tour was here Norwegian kids making us feel that we are big We are all stuck in here just doing things we couldn’t do when we were teens unlike the fucking Rich Kids on LSD And after all those drinks lost in Berlin, playing Rote was so sick War world bunkers raised by fear The duck just thought that orgy was so clear Vegan nuggets that no one cooked We found Linoleum chorus in all rooms A random Monday could sound as boring as shit but in the first 10 minutes we just scored some pills Bike cops arrived when I was ending a forbidden swim we might be wet, could be my pot but have no IDs Most boring gig was for sure in Paris, that 13 hours trip was sick Our closest friends were travelling, making people wait is not our deal This is our secret recipe: a mixture of puke, beer, fuck, sweat and fear

I used to think we were one piece strong enough to face the punch the time had been loading in I used to think the word together was designed to be forever now I’m alone again Now I remember the old times just you and me under the sun No need for anyone around I wish you know I’m regretful so I can always be with you, i hope you can understand At this time we are nothing So let’s recover our lives we are old enough to see kids still doing what we did getting hurt to build their trust Now I can tell you I’m a bit scared I’m not prepared to fall again I still got marks around my head It was not your fault we were so fast we burned everything that last but we can start over again At this time we are nothing so let’s recover our lives we are old enough to see kids still doing what we did getting hurt to build their trust Now I’m on friday night going to sleep early to see you shine over the park to hear the sound that you make when you walk It’s hard to see the curves around your body I just want to hit them hard to hear that beautiful ‘pop’ sound you still drive me crazy So here I’m singing out another love song i just wrote for you the only one, that made me sang about a piece of wood Now we are us again carving the concrete dropping every single ramp we see using your perfect nose to slide the grease So please kids here me out Skating is what it’s all about!

This record was made in a week between the end of December 2021 and the beginning of January 2022 in Sant Feliu de Guixols with the mighty Santi García. We tried to eat everyday in the only vegan place of the town without success. In the middle of the recording, we enjoyed probably our nicest and weirdest New Year's Eve ever, in a gorgeous village called Beget in the middle of nowhere in the Catalonia mountains, hosted by our beloved friends Gerard and Sara. Kudos to Willy for his awesome cooking. We got to meet all the few habitants of the village and became really good friends with the nonhuman ones; Crispeta and Peter. Cheers the other Gerard (Torpedo Müller) and Borja for making the effort to get us some magic stuff.

Many thanks to everyone who helped and inspired us to make this record, and the band's journey until now. To our friends and families for being there during the awesome times but during the shitty times too.
Thanks also to all who support and keep the DIY community alive. This release is a collaborative effort in this spirit. Much love to the awesome labels involved! Up the punks!

Always grateful,
Weak.
