about

One off single.

lyrics

They build us from apathy and they build us from integrity
We listen to the mission bells chime out lives of stories they tell

And a hurtful addiction is what we are missing and a hurtful addiction is here
When you look around you see it everywhere

SO BUILD IT UP, TEAR IT DOWN, SET FIRE TO THE GROUND
THAT'S ONE MORE CRIPPLED NATION AND IT'S OVER NOW

HERE WE ARE EVERY ONE OF US
YOUR ARMY YOUR FAIR AND JUST
MADE UP OF ONLY TRUST
FEAR AND GRACE
PLACED UPON THIS EMPTY SLATE
IS THE BLOOD OF MANY HAND'S I'LL MAKE
AND THE CRIMSON ASK OF SINS I'LL WAGE
IS WRITTEN ON ME

What am I
I'm a leader of men, I'm a contradiction
I'm a heart that's broken, I'm a beat that's missing
I'm a solder, I'm a man with a gun in his hand
I'm a stranger in a strange mans land

I'm a sinner, I'm a saint, I'm a winner, I'm a waste
I'm the devil in disguise, I take gods place
I'm a father, a son, an army, a one
I'm your addiction, I'm your pain

And a hurtful addiction is what we are missing and a hurtful addiction is here
When you look around you see it everywhere

AND WE FALL INTO THE SOUND OF OUR OWN MISERY
TO THE BEATING OF THE DRUM, TO THE PLACE I FIND MY PEACE
WE HARBOR ALL THE SINS OF A LIFETIME GONE BY
THAN WE BURN THE SACRED GROUND AND TELL THEM WE ARE RIGHT
OH WE CRY, OH WE CRY, AS WE READ OUR EPITAPH
CAUSE IT TELLS US WHERE WE'RE GOING AND WE'RE NEVER COMING BACK

Pure Nonsense image

Pure Nonsense Detroit, Michigan

Pure Nonsense was birthed out of my desire to record and release songs I've written over the last 20+ years which haven't appeared elsewhere. The group is made up of Mark Kowal (songwriter, music) and Dick Darling (Vocals). Scott Brooks assisted with ideas for the programmed drums. We are currently working on the second album (with real drums!) which is going to be awesome. ... more
