lyrics

Abandoned you walked out on them
Another family left in ruin
Because dear old dad
Thought only of himself
Your selfishness robbed them of their youth

Left to wonder
What their father's like
While mother tries her best to provide
Left to wonder
What life would be like
If things had turned out right

Now did you really think
They'd accept you back
With open arms
Your kids don't know you
You're a stranger
As far as their concerned

Dismantled lives left in pieces
Look at the mess you've created
A trail of heartache lies in your wake
Your life has been one big mistake

So many years have passed
Since we saw you last
Now you're all alone you want us back
But life goes on
Just like they say
Even for a makeshift family

Voice of Strength
by Ecostrike

supported by 4 fans who also own “Makeshift Family (Early Version)”

A standout full-length debut in what has been an incredible year for hardcore. Ecostrike play a incendiary, impassioned brand of straight edge metallic hardcore that recalls One Truth-era Strife and early Earth Crisis, but are far from being a simple retread of 90’s past. One of the year’s best releases. Busty Loads

It's just a banger from start to finish. Old school hardcore in the youth crew tradition. Lyrical positivity. Music that lifts you up. Keep 'em coming. wasclafton

The Language Of Injury
by Ithaca

On their debut record, the London hardcore upstarts cross-up mosh-ready fare with melancholic ambient passages, weeping guitars, and virtuosic vocal harmonies, but its romantic veneer is much more complicated than it seems. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 30, 2019
