Have You Considered Punk Music

Dumb kid decisions through the lens of an dumb adult

Walls you went around, broke down, and built

Choke went to Berlin to have his awakening

Mohammad went to the mountain, no patience

You’re a bit like him, you took a job at the station

Choke went to Berlin to have his awakening

Things you said and why’d you fight that kid I don’t remember

Seemed like I was angry or something maybe

Choke went to Berlin to have his awakening

Porcell had to try one last time

Brass ring hanging by horsehair overhead

Choke went to Berlin to have his awakening

Steve kicked a man’s head from his body

Caught on tape but there’s no body

Choke went to Berlin to have his awakening

Good stories and real life don’t overlap

But cinderblock through windshield, I choose to believe in that

Choke went to Berlin to have his awakening

Street people do street people things

Found a way to direct that high school rage

Choke went to Berlin to have his awakening

The way you think it is as a kid gives way to difficult but unavoidable days that underline and highlight that you’ve been doing it wrong and for so long you can’t crawl your way back to reasonable you have to swing violently to the other side which as it turns out isn’t violent at all but mild and neutral and bland and pablum and sand for your landing cotton for your tongue
