Part 2 of the saga. While growing up in and around NYC we moved around a lot, Almost 20 times. This part is the introduction to the suburban era of my upbringing. In 1999 I headed to a suburban town middle school. Some brushes with bullies, and more punk rock followed. Outsiders welcome.

lyrics

Way way before the pitchfork was godly
Back in grade 6 this bully named AJ
Would flex his pecs in the school cafeteria and try to put the fear in ya
When he hit me I just turned the cheek
When he told me I’d die in my sleep
He said “you wanna start beef but you can’t even eat it, why not kill yourself freak”

Homocystinuria
The whole wide world said “wouldn’t wanna be ya”

Feel the same with the boys in the band
Feel the same in the crowd when I stand
I see a carbon copy
A shirtless phony who doesn’t speak for me

Don’t fit in with the punks at the show
Don’t fit in the E.D.M. disco
Don’t fit in at the label or school or work or the dining room table

Homocystinuria
The doc said “see ya, wouldn’t wanna be ya”

And I’ll always feel (the same) strange
And I’ll always feel strained
No matter the rules, no matter the game
No matter what changes no change is made
Me
I’m just
Me and you’d never feel the same
I’m the only one of me
Who’s ever felt this uniquely lonely
And the only one who feels it only

Homocystinuria

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
