negative creep one of my favorite albums in HS, i really miss those Trustkill years. Favorite track: The Dream.

Blast Head Records Finally a vinyl version of one of the most under appreciated albums! A band that blended so many genres into their own sound and honestly did it better than the bands that actually made it big. Thanks for releasing this gem.

rileypunk Oh jeez. My buddy back in the day was a huge Trustkill guy and it wasn't really my thing but then I heard this album. Jeez. I think I wore this disc out. Amazing album. Radio Days is definitely my favorite track. Just all around great. Wonderful vocals and incredible drumming. Favorite track: Radio Days.

2.	Life As Is 04:16	lyrics
For now I'll just push my feelings aside Not to worry, it'll be alright Now i'll just rest from the world that is here And what it has for me For now I'll just push my feelings aside Not to worry, it'll be alright Now i'll just rest from the world that is here And what it has for me I know what you want I know what you need But i can't give it I can't give it (yeah, yeah yeah) you walked away (yeah, yeah yeah) not turning to look at me That's ok i said it I'll say it again You want it right now It's alright i know everythings ok While you're here with me Yes i know it so answer me right now I'm so sorry I'm so sorry We'll find our own way out So take my hand Just side our own ways Just you and me now Yes i know it right now That's ok i said it i'll say it again You want it right now It's alright i know everythings ok While you're here with me Falling inside This time Falling inside You want it right now Oh Dont walk away Oh I'm here today Falling inside this time Falling inside You want it right now Oh Don't walk away I know what you want I know what you need But i can't give it I can't give it (yeah, yeah yeah) you walked away (yeah, yeah yeah) not turning to look at me That's ok i said it I'll say it again You want it right now It's alright i know everythings ok While you're here with me
3.	The Dream 04:39	lyrics
As I sit by myself I've come from so, so far away In such little time, I have gave My soul, my mind, I've tried so hard to find Is this what I must do, to get by? And I ask myself why? Why don't you write, why don't you call me I'll wait here I'll find my way, or will you help me out this year? Does she understand me? Listen to what I say Turning her back, on my dreams Watching, waiting You turn your back I'll find my way home You turn your back Turn your back on my dream So strong, so weak, we're stronger still Is this what I must do? This I, why? I know Why don't you write, why don't you call me I'll wait here I'll find my way, or will you help me out this year?
4.	11th Street 04:38	lyrics
As we lie here in bed Your eyes run right through me Did you hear what I said I'm falling I'm falling down Falling down She said And I thought that you would listen We were not meant to end I still dont know What we always were And I thought that you would give in You told me love would never die But you lied You always lied There was a time I thought you were something Something that I would never be Now is the time I know that you're nothing nothing That I would want to be Did you hear a thing I said? Your eyes roll right through me And I thought that you would listen We were not meant to end I still dont know What we always were And I thought that you would give in You told me love would never die But you lied You always lied There was a time I knew you were something Something that I would never be Now is the time I know that your nothing Nothing that I would want to be I feel like I am falling into my needs I need for you to open your eyes So give me one more try I'll show you i can this time To give my life So give me one more try So give me one more try I feel the sun now I feel the sun now
5.	This Is The End 03:36	lyrics
You said you dont understand me So why are you here You wanted me to protect you now While you turned away You haven't answered the question Of why you are here You just left me waiting here How long will you Keep me standing here Keep me standing here By myself How long will you Keep your feelings locked up inside Keep me standing here by myself How long will you I know its not Like your staying around Were are we now I know its not Like your staying around Were are are we now I know its not Why you fly away Fly away Fly away I know its right I know it I know its right I know it I know it I know it I know its right I know it I know its right I know it
6.	The Struggle 04:15	lyrics
You want it You want it You need it You need it You need it You want it You learn You want it You want it You need it You need it You need it You want it You learn Said you want it all, So what now? Said you want it all, I don't know Said you want it all I don't know this time I'm coming on down Falling again I'm waiting for you to follow Ending it there I'm waiting, I'm waiting So dont' keep me waiting again So don't keep me waiting again So don't keep me waiting again Said you want it all, So what now? Said you want it all, I don't know Said you want it all I don't know this time Nothing in my way There's nothing in my way I'll drive this pain from everything I'll drive this pain from everything I'll drive this pain from everything (Nothing, Nothing, Nothing) Don't know when I'll get a chance to run Run again, I wanna run again Looking for the best way, the right way To fly again, I wanna fly again
7.	Thought Process 02:47	lyrics
Since the day I left you there I lost my way Each time I close my eyes I think of you It's too late, too Late, too Late for me to say I'm sorry I'm sorry now Too late, too late, too late for me to call you mine Save the day Minutes, I know Why you go I'm feeling so low And I wanted to show That I changed So please don't go today I know, I know, I know What was I thinking? I'm so sorry that I lost it all again I know I fucked it up this time Just another chapter in this story of my life I know you don't care what I say Should I even try to make you listen I know when I miss time One more chapter in this story of my life Its too late, too late, too late For me to say I'm sorry I'm sorry
8.	Radio Days 04:27	lyrics
Let's just say now that I know when I found you there right next to him I found out why you lied You said you loved me the other night I walked in I saw you sitting there You looked at me You know what i'm thinking So don't say that I don't care Let's just say now That I'm not here Before myself he'd better say In your eyes I have died Be on my own Live my own life I know now that I'm ok Take my life back today I know now I'm on my way This pain won't fall away Far from you is where I'd rather be Is where I'd rather be Is where I'd rather be Is where I'd rather be Far from you Far from you Let's just say now That I'm not here Before myself he'd better say In your eyes I have died Be on my own
9.	Forever 03:14
10.	Never Alone 05:05	lyrics
I don't know now Its not the time, to talk about it Are you calling out this time? You'll see tonight Please leave on the light Are we done this time? Am I this all right? You let me down I know right now I've tried before to find a way I know, I'm home When I walk in and see your face But now, you're gone And my life seems so out of place Why did I hide from you From all the things you do How can I last tomorrow When I can't even go today? Turned inside out You asked me why do I feel this way So what now? What's wrong? I know I feel the same Even I know can't you see I know why youre not here with me I know, I'm home When I walk in and see your face But now you're gone and my life Seems so out of place Why did i hide from you From all the things you do How can i last tomorrow When i can't even go today Today, i knew when i said goodbye

What's inside Far away, separation I don't know now Looking back far away Falling down inside I'm so helpless I want you under I want you on my side You said to me "I want you on my side" I knew just what to say I did it all for you For you What's inside Far away, separation I don't know now Looking back far away Falling down inside I'm so helpless You are the one Why am I not the only one Decide what you want from my friends Someone I know why Decide to stay right now this time Someone I know why Then you walk away I know what it's like Watch me fall away from you Then you walk away So very far from you in a softer way I know it's like I want you when on my side I know what it's like I know it's like I want you where by my side To save me from myself again Far from you Stay down
