lyrics

My mind is a mess and this cane creaks and cracks with every step. I’m in my formal dress; my voice squeaks and stutters as I try to forget the war crimes my fellow soldiers committed in front of me. I can’t shake the remembrance of this American tragedy.
To you I’m just a headline, a link to a story you didn’t want to see. Your views on foreign relations: condemning the choices by those who fell next to me. Pillow talk, water-cooler banter; it’s all just a topic that’ll disappear. But thanks for all the yellow ribbons, tied to the fence dividing hope and fear.
Oh, I never thought I’d make it home. Oh, so what do I do now? Acclimate me! Direction’s hard to follow. Without a gun at my side I’ve never felt so goddamn hollow. Rerelease me! Into the freedom I was fighting for. My name’s little Ralphie Parker, I grew up and I went to war.
Lead, follow, or get out of the way.
Acclimate me! Direction’s hard to follow. Without a gun at my side I’ve never felt so fucking hollow. Rerelease me! Into the freedom I was fighting for. My name’s little Ralphie Parker, you probably don’t recognize me anymore.

Caskitt San Diego, California

Caskitt is a unique three-piece punk rock band from San Diego, CA. Operating like a “hook-and-ladder” firetruck, this band is driven from the back by drummer and lead vocalist Matt Caskitt, and steered from the front by Steffen Long on guitar and Jesse Hernandez on bass; both providing harmonies and taking over vocal duties when needed. They are part of the La Escalera Records Family :) ... more
