Funeral for a Friend "Welcome Home Armageddon"

Before we begin, I will say that this was written before the proposed end of the world, but due to "quality control," excuse me while I laugh and smirk in silence the tense will kept as is.
Welcome Home, Armageddon we have been expecting you, but not this early, so can you please just let us have forty-four seconds prepare a delicious sandwich for you; it's made on 'This Side of Brightness," so it should be pretty pleasant. The riff must have been made from the same place the intro was. Great! We can use some some optimism. I mean they're drinking their way underground , no skin will be on their backs, and they're just caving in this quicksand that is suffocating them, known as life. "Stop talking, and start making sense." I'll play these "Old Hymns" instead.                                                                                                                                              It has been said that the end of the world will come soon, and if you know what's good for you you'll try to get "Front Row Seats To The End of The World." If the end is coming, why bother paying the extra cash? Everyone is going to be seeing the same show; Well, I've heard it and it's worth the price of admission, but maybe not the price for front row seats. Some people, when asked would love to be 'Sixteen' again, but not to be "Crumpled up discarded, cataloged, forgotten ...living something careless" like an old magazine where only the free pages were read. I did not believe that an "Aftertaste" could be so sweet; I may heave heard this before, but instead of refraining from trying it again you come back for more.                                                                            To give up control of the T.V. is one thing, but make a temple to honor them in worship, and give them complete control? It's in our nature, especially when we feel like it's hopeless; as if we're about to die as our plane is burning and "Spinning Over the Island." Scream like you mean it! You're confused and angry, and the starting rhythm is mean. The percussion is driving, but as they have lost control, they seem to be heading down in shame, but why so with this rhythm? "Your time well spent, a living lie that covers everything." This has been said countless times by many people, so you know we can relate; especially if you do the same thing every day. It's been said that repetition is h*ll, and you slowly die inside, even if you are a "Man (or woman) Alive."  "Owls (Are Watching)" and yes, this is one of my favorites                                                                    This song was made for moshing, group-shouting to the groove of the chorus, raising your fist, and playing air guitar/drums, but you don't have to worry, you're not "D***ed If You Do, Dead If You Don't." Depression can be brutal, comes in waves unexpectedly, and can make you feel like the worst pile of human fecal matter ever; I said that I want to LIVE LIFE, not live life "Medicated," plus there are all of those side effects. I will feel the pain unhindered, but I will also feel the best moments to the fullest; that is what makes the best moment so great. I must say that the song is one of my favorites, and can be an audio substitute for the pill; the rhythm, the chorus, all of the instrumentals, the vocals, and everything just make it memorable. The metallic groove, bopping rhythym, chorus that anyone can sing along to, and scream/sing archetype are far from a "Broken Foundation," and can still make an impression when done right disregarding how much it is done.    The title track's proposition may be something you want to rise against behind closed doors, but there is really nothing you can do. If it comes, the only thing you can say is 'Welcome Home Armageddon,' and they do so with plenty of energy and optimism? The bobble head clock ticks during the breakdown, as the vibrations bring it closer to the end of the table. The final two minutes are beautiful in their construction and confession, especially with their harmonic ending. Favorites: This side of Brightness, Aftertaste, Owls(Are Watching),D*mned if You Do, Dead If You Don't, Medicated, Broken Foundation, and Welcome Home Armageddon
