On A Mission To Kill Ambition

A thicker skin we could never grow was everything we needed, because you’ve got to appreciate what you have while you have it. Always on the edge. Sailing on a sinking ship. Playing the cards you're dealt won't make a difference. '98, hold on to the memories till they blur and are forever gone. '98, as unyielding as the rumbling thunder we were unstoppable. How punk are beans and piss in Stoke On Trent out in the pouring rain? Did you know defeat can lay waste the strongest hope to the point you just want to give up? Consumed by the longest wait now those days are gone but we'll always carry them with us. It's a vicious game to go out there, we never won, we never lost, we never really cared. An iron will we forged in failure and downfall. Don't you forget about the time when music was everything we got. It was all we got. With no means and no end we only assembled to escape on a mission to kill ambition while trying to suffocate frustration with battle cries. On a mission to kill ambition. That's what we had. '98, hold on to the memories till they blur and are forever gone. '98, as unyielding as the rumbling thunder we were unstoppable.
