lyrics

About a thousand times the same shit
About a thousand times the same regrets

Time will heal your wounds but scars they don ́t forget
Learn how fire works
Learn that fire hurts
Why should ́t you try again
Why should ́t you try again

You've gone too far kid
Gone too far to go back home in some familiar mill pond
Take some risk the chance won ́t be missed
Just go for it take it don ́t leave it
What are you waiting for?
What does your hesitation mean?
Why don ́t you try again?
Why don ́t you try again?

You’re putting down roots
You follow suit
Why don’t you try again?

Give me a reason to bury your luck
Just give it to me and I’ll show you it sucks
Keep your head up, always look straight ahead
Cause if you don't move, you're just the same as the dead

Step by step and try by try, don't stop too soon and say goodbye
You’ll see how sweet life tastes once you overcome your shades
So come on
Overcome

The Shaftons Vienna, Austria

Your local punk fucks. Wir machen Gitarrenmusik. Und Bassmusik. Und Schlagzeugmusik. Und singen kann auch einer von uns.

Zu unserer Musik wird getanzt, gestoßen und es werden Zähne ausgeschlagen. Manchmal auch nicht.
