Rats 02:33
They got in through the walls we never repaired Took us by surprise while we were looking somewhere else Feeling confident in the space we left The night they took the streets i knew we failed somewhere And as i take glass off my hands I figure it's time for us to make a change I got this feeling, let's call it fear I know tonight, i won't sleep again This is the internal battles we didn't fight This is everytime we refused to give a second though This is the pride we put in our ignorance All the ego trips and all the «i don't care» And as i wash blood out of my hands I figure it's time for us to make a change I got this feeling, let's call it fear I know tonight, i won't sleep again No more excuses, it is only lies Remember the words we used to sing out loud ? This wasn't entertainment, it was a fight And when our only answer left is « Hahaha » We lose.

Knife 02:01
Again we're parting ways This fire consumes you inside No one can win this game You feed so much on lies I tried, but i should have known Nothing coming from me Will make a point It’s like talking to a wall I should have stayed quiet Kept what i have to say Avoid your word attack It makes no sense to me You don't really want to hurt someone Another angry guy with nothing going on I tried, but i should have known Nothing coming from me Will make a point It’s like talking to a wall I get it Those little voices inside Opposing you to everyone We’re going nowhere We’ll both stay on our side But i know one of us is wrong All arguments become useless I feel like a knife without a blade

Movements 02:15
Architecture of violence Cruel by design Vicious dehumanisation Hatred in disguise This land is your land Or this land means nothing No one can justifies What's in front of our eyes There are borders in in our minds You can cross it if you try The lines are not fixed The lines, they don't even exist Products of History Maps with too much ink And I walked through the valleys I walked through the mountains Life as an endless stream Movement is everything   The only borders are in our minds You can cross it if you try Perverted language Can't think the obvious

Love 02:04
The risk is scary, the risk is strong Gimme the thrill, the risk can't be wrong There's no identity when it's about the common There is no common where there's competition In opposition to consumption Love with no condition Security is tempting, security is wrong There is only beauty when the danger is strong Embrace the difference, browbeat expectations Embrace the stranger, defend transgression In opposition to competition Love with no condition In opposition to consumption In opposition to reaction Love with no condition Sometimes i feel very sad But it's always worth a new try I don't want to be the one Who surrenders to fear when things go wrong And i know how love is strong Love

Spring 01:32
Germs growing from cold seeds Time for a new try Staring at the sun without a blink Leaving the cold dark days behind And i feel it, i need it I have to clear my head Maybe i just need to believe it There is a start at every end A spirit of youth in everything The world with a new sight Through the cracks the light gets in Flowers blooming in every field And i feel it, i need it I have to heal myself Maybe i just need to believe it There is a start at every end

Forward 01:59
We are your bright future Relegating your ideas to the past Thinking over and over Making a pathway in our minds And I got plans for better days I got plans for you and me You may be right I don't exactly know what i want But i'm sure 'bout what i don't With our thoughs we make the world And when the sun goes up I hope i'll be a better man And I got plans for better days I got plans for you and me We're making plans for better days Making plans for you and me Let's push things forward

Foundations 03:03
Felt good to see you on this summer day I guess i have forgotten all those things we shared What would have been those years without you there ? I remember when we used to trade Tapes from stollen cds of punkrock bands Why do you think i'm holding this mic in my hand ? What we built together In a way or an other It sure feels akward to say That you're part of who i am today I remember when we used to hang out At this creepy bowl no one could skate Will you be surprised to know i'm still that lame ? What we built together In a way or an other No matter what you do or say You're part of who i am today What we built together In a way or an other There is things that are made to stay You're part of who i am today Thanks a lot friends And I know once more we'll be out of sigh But this is not what it's all about The same direction, just different roads There are bonds thicker than blood As i water carefully the seeds I remember where these feet have been Suburban wasteland, nowhere's as far you can go 44220, who would have known ?

about

Circles plays a melodic punk hardcore that reminds directly the golden age of D.C. '86 Summer revolution, bands like Embrace/Dag Nasty/Rites of Spring and Fugazi.
You can even find some reminds to Ebullition 90's emo melodic stuff.
Enjoy!"
