End of August.

"...and I miss home, and I miss the closets, the windows, the hallways
And when we are gone, who will keep up the garden?
Like a mother calling her boy, I am, I am so unsafe
But she can't do it alone
but there's nothing stronger than her prayers."

Hardcore and punk are not spectator sports. Do something or at least look affected in some way or get the fuck out.
