Rites of Spring

Rites of Spring was an American post-hardcore band from Washington, D.C. in the mid-1980s, known for their energetic live performances. A part of the D.C. hardcore punk scene, Rites of Spring increased the frenetic violence and visceral passion of hardcore while simultaneously experimenting with its compositional rules. Lyrically, they also shifted hardcore into intensely personal realms and, in doing so, are often considered the first "emo" band, but Rites of Spring itself rejects any association between themselves and emo genres. more »

Time heals all wounds they say
The self inflicted won't just fade away
And in these tides of shifting blame
Why are you surprised to see your name?
It's such a drag
Time got the best of you
Things you gave, you say were taken
Explanation piled over excuse

So the story goes
But by your own design
And if you look to me to find you
Then my eyes will pass right though

So the story goes
You buy your own design
And if you look to me to find you
Then my eyes will pass right though

Believe me I had wished
We could've avoided this
Please don't ask me to explain
All the things that caused your pain
I only want you to realize
Passivity equals compliance
They slip right through your hands
Become the victims of other's demands, yeah

So the story goes
But by your own design
And if you look to me to find you
Then my eyes will pass right though

So the story goes
You buy your own design
And if you look to me to find you
Then my eyes will pass right though, pass right through

Time heals all wounds they say
The self inflicted won't just fade away
And in these tides of shifting blame
Why are you surprised to see your name?
It's such a drag
Time got the best of you
Things you gave, you say were taken
Explanation piled over excuse
