The Deep End 04:17
I lost my grip coming around the bend I started out in the deep end I have been running blind away from a past Taking two steps forward, falling three steps back But, I’m not going south I refuse to burn I took a drink from the fountain I came stumbling down the mountain Where the roots have been stripped and ripped up from the ground Leaving nothing to remain solid and my mind keeps moving south But, I’m not going back Won’t walk on ashes on the ground People walking out the doors on their unpaid tabs Drowning all their problems that come slowly drifting back I don’t want these sticky fingers creeping around my bones I am leaving now, but I’m so scared to leave alone
2.
I’m not where I am supposed to be I’m drowning in a lake And I should be surfing the sea Every night it comes to this We have been talking through our fist All we know is dying I don’t know who I am now Bloody knuckle beach Is so far out of reach Suck down a mouth full of salt water You came from a town you loved You’ve conformed outside the glove You are half wave, you are half concrete And still the man you want to be Bloody knuckle beach Is waiting for you and me I can feel the salt water
3.
Hey Young 03:02
Hey young can i ask you a question Can you stomach your dreams If your luck runs out can you beat it Hey young can you hide in your sleep Hey young are you honest Do your cement shoes make you lie where you stand We all know now you're not our man Hey young can you laugh at yourself When it all falls to the ground Can you and your friends joke about it Hey young can you stomach defeat Hey young are you honest
4.
This is my name All of my life This is my name Until I’m dead and gone Baby, step off your ship I’m not ready to sail the sea I just want to look At the person you won’t allow yourself to be Seven days have gone I once met a man Who forgot his name Now he moves grains of sand He thinks that he can change time He’s not going to find what he is looking for He must go further than the open door Seven days have gone This is my name These are our names This is who we are
5.
I was born at the edge of the sea Out of the sand and into the streets Where the trees are committed To their own suicide The cliffs are falling into the sea Why can’t you see I’m the son of a fisherman What’s gonna happen to me Smoke rise into the stream And the bees have caught the disease They all have decided On a mass suicide The cliffs are falling into the sea Why can’t you see I’m the son of a fisherman What’s gonna happen to me Smoke doesn’t bother you at all You can breathe under water son Take all your wishes and file them away I know you want to believe But they all have caught your disease You should have wished Industry suicide I’m the son of a fisherman What's gonna happen to me?

The Road 03:39
I am the road I am the gun Running with the pack Running alone I’m loaded up I’m coming home
7.
Every time you wake up You stand up Because it's what you know So much time goes by You talk about what you know Now that it’s gone Can you see it? And you go round and round With dreams and life And nothing is in stone So many films and books It feels like a con Now that it’s gone Can you see it? Right now We are all wrong Were all alone It’s a black and white T.V. set With the sound turned down Can you even see what’s real As a broken down man And once again you stand up When you wake up cause that’s what you know
8.
I should have known It wouldn’t last this long I thought that there was more How could I have been so wrong Where’s the money gone These times are hard We pretend we are doing fine The worst part of it all Is how it messes with your mind Where’s the money gone For some, that’s all they care For us, it’s just our means to get by I wanna see it burn But it will always be on the rise I wanna see it burn All the money is gone So put your worries down Pick up and carry on

Movin Along 03:58
He got a job and he moved down south Packed up the kids and he sold the house Stood on the porch of his big backyard He said “I’ll remember this all” On his brain it left a scar Didn’t realize what a good thing he had They left late in the day Everybody was sad Driving many miles to a far off distant land If it wasn’t the wheel, there was a bottle in his hand No one understood why he needed more He was doing just fine right where he was born They moved into a jungle There was concrete for miles Smothered in strip malls and plastic smiles But they were damn sure able to find some real faces They searched the nooks and crannies and they found some good places Like swimming in the springs and driving country roads They were meeting new people Going to rock-n-roll shows When he looks back now he wished he had never moved away When he thinks about it now he wishes that he would have stayed But you should never dwell on where you think that you went wrong You must never look back You must always move along But maybe a song might strike a chord that’s in your mind Take you back to a place where everything was fine I hope you find these places you’ve imagined in your head I hope you find them soon Before your years are dead

Branded 03:38
Branded by the school Branded by the church Branded by your peers Getting branded hurts I hope that forever you will remain free So many doors open for you Too many locks to pick for me But I knew her a long time ago She has cut from the pack to pursue her own dreams My little queen Mama had to go Papa we did not know While some up and moved away Others were forced to stay So few they have it all So true the ones who fall Some bellies are too full And we live by there poisonous rules Well I knew them a long time ago I believed in their false dreams My country's kings What you see is what you get And I hope that you will forget You inhale an old pollution Get force-fed a new solution What's working out for everyone else Has left you dusty on a shelf You feel all alone and stranded Get in line Get yourself branded
11.
Sandy 02:40
Sandy just turned twenty one Sandy's world is on the run Sandy's got a tattooed arm And she will beat you with her charm In her mouth, words you can't eat A smart pearl from off the street She shines on the ones she loves Fits each scene just like a glove But, there are those that she forgot There is someone she has left behind Is she happy, no, she is not There are pieces she will not find Is she happy, no, she is not But sandy deserves just what she got She looks happy from the outside But, Sandy is someone who just stopped trying She's got a hole in her soul

about

3rd LP. OLD GROWTH write stripped-down, straightforward, sometimes tragic, songs of life, to which JOHN MAGNIFICO (TWELVE HOUR TURN) brings full chords from his guitar and rediscovers melody in his voice. John’s lyrics parallel his songs—simple in form, but revealing an incredible depth of narrative that could easily be overlooked. Old Growth’s sound is something like Uncle Tupelo, or Wire’s early rock’n’roll numbers. LUKE’s (SCIENCE OF YABRA) bass drives in line with BEN’s mid-tempo drumming and backing vocals which fill in the right spaces. This time around, Luke adds a few of his own songs, singing up front while nodding to John Reis. Old Growth plays punk rock’n’roll—taking theirs and others’ past to make tradition fresh.
