Remission 03:35
There's no way in Hell I'm going Down like this Without broken bones and bloodied fist Cuase' I know I would be remiss If I didn't give it all I had to give To pick myself up off the floor again So one more time around before the end Before the wheels fall off again and I'm left for dead I said one more time around before the end Before the wheels fall off again and I'm left for dead And I will revel now In the moment for awhile Before the moment starts to fade And everything I fought for slips away And I find myself running in place So one more time around before the end Before the wheels fall off again and I'm left for dead I said one more time around before the end Before the wheels fall off again and I'm left for dead I always wanted to forgive Myself for everything thing I did But would it matter in the end So let's start it up again Get the gears turning And open up the gates for remission So one more time around before the end Before the wheels fall off again and I'm left for dead I said one more time around before the end Before the wheels fall off again and I'm left for dead

CAN'T KEEP UP Can I go back to the way that things once were Before shit hit the fan and it all went south Back before I went under And everything I knew came crashing down Back to a time before I fell And the whole world around me went to hell Back before my walls caved in Before the light went dim Can I go? Because there's something missing here And I can't find it And I'm done looking And the world keeps spinning But I can't keep up And I'm done trying Can I go back to where it all began When I still had the world sitting in my hand Back to chase the dream again Before it greyed and I gave in Back to fight the final round Before the world came around and beat me down Back before I lost it all Before the fire went cold Can I go? Because there's something missing here And I can't find it And I'm done looking And the world keeps spinning But I can't keep up And I'm done trying Can I erase it all? Or is the damage done? Can I replace it all? And are there brighter days to come? Can I at least have one more chance to start again?

Halfway Home 02:32
Is this what's left of me? Can I chalk it up to victory or defeat? And what the fuck does it all mean? Cause I don't know what else to be Lost or found or somewhere in between It's all the fucking same to me But Can I pull through Or have I lost the will to carry on I can't decide Which side I'm on And I've been trying to Find the strength to carry on And I'm halfway home I'm halfway gone Feeling aimless Feeling like I don't know Which way I wanna go Feeling listless Like my bones are growing old And soon my heart will be growing cold But Can I pull through Or have I lost the will to carry on I can't decide Which side I'm on And I've been trying to Find the strength to carry on And I'm halfway home I'm halfway gone

Look out I'm goin down No more treading water This ship is bound to drown Now I'm going under My last breath will be A tale of self destruction And how I failed to be Anything I wanted What's a journey without heartache Ain't much of a journey at all What's a story without ending Ain't much of a story at all Look out I'm going down There'll be no resurrection I've set sail to drown Paved a path of no redemption My last steps will be Lost in self destruction Though I meant to be More than what I wanted What's a journey without heartache Ain't much of a journey at all What's a story without ending Ain't much of a story at all I don't know what I'm doing I don't know who I am I left it all in ruins Should have been promised land I don't know if I'm angry I don't know if I'm sad But I'm feeling empty Like I lost all I had And I don't know where I'm going Not even sure where I am And the doors that are closing Won't open again What's a journey without heartache Ain't much of a journey at all What's a story without ending Ain't much of a story at all And now there's Nothing left but a story to tell
5.
There's something in the atmosphere So I've been warned But nothing ever happens here It's just the calm before the storm Batten down the hatches We're waiting out the storm Until this feeling in me is no more But before the night falls And dusk turns into dawn I need to know this feeling is gone Then the sun came rising today And it set my sorrow ablaze Stirring like a cyclone And crashing like a wave This feeling in me was building like rage Then the sun came rising today And it set my sorrow ablaze But if the sun goes down tonight Will it come back up tomorrow? And if we stray far from the light Will the darkness bring us sorrow? And if we hold on too tight Are we bound to choke out the life? And if we don't know what's right Are we bound to do the wrong thing twice?

Out To Sea 02:54
When we went out to sea We knew we'd never come back All we had were our dreams To paddle this life raft Whoa, we were down Whoa, we were out Whoa, we were down Whoa, we were out The first storm was loud It shook our boat around All we had were our dreams But we made it safe and sound Whoa, we were down Whoa, we were out Whoa, we were down Whoa, we were out The shore fades quick with the sea When the sun goes down All we'll have are our dreams To bring us back around Whoa, we were down Whoa, we were out Whoa, we were down Whoa, we were out
7.
Hourglass 03:02
We all hold on To the hour glass Till the hour's gone It was never meant to last But hold on Give me back my past It's all gone It went too fast Oh, there's nothing left Oh, just what lies ahead It's ok to move slow Just don't lose time It's ok to be idle for awhile Jut don't fall too far behind On my way down As I fell into the depths I stopped to look around With hopes to find a grip And time stood still But I couldn't catch my breath And hours started passing by And I started to slip Oh, there was nothing I could do Oh, but let the sand fall through It's ok to move slow Just don't lose time It's ok to be idle for awhile Jut don't fall too far behind Slow down Hold out
8.
Will there be movement in the moment Or stillness in the past Will I be anxiously awaiting Things that haven't happened yet Will I have a second shot at glory Will this be the only one I get Cause the moment's passing by me And I can't seem to capture it But if I bookended the story What would I really do with it Would I make the same mistakes I did The last time I let it slip Maybe on the next time around I'll have the sense to write it out Maybe on the next time around I'll have the sense to write it Whoa, hey Better seize the day Before it's just another faded memory Long forgotten yesterday Will it be the last thing I remember Will it be the first thing I forget Either way I'm not sure that it matters Cause I haven't forgotten yet So I will relish in the memory Until the memory is gone And I will take these fading melodies And write one more forgotten song Maybe on the next time around I'll have the sense to ride it out Maybe on the next time around I'll have the sense to ride it Whoa, hey Better seize the day Before it's just another faded memory Long forgotten yesterday Day by day all these years keep changing shape With all these friends we'd sculpt forever with momentary clay But all the past belongs to all the things we gave away Give yesterday to ghosts but now belongs to me Well here I go Whoa, hey Better seize the day Before it's just another faded memory Long forgotten yesterday

Milestone 03:40
Here I go Losing control Maybe I never Had any at all I can't escape the weight of all the things I've done But it comes and goes Like a wrecking ball Tearing through Breaking down my walls I can't escape the weight of all the songs I've sung My heart is racing I can feel each beat The sound is pounding in my head on repeat If I'm not choking I can barely breath The worst is over Or so it seems When did I go Down the rabbit hole Is it all Mirrors and smoke I can't escape the weight of all the things I've done and I can't escape the weight of all the songs I've sung My heart is racing I can feel each beat The sound is pounding In my head on repeat If I'm not choking I can barely breath The worst is over Or so it seems When panic's seeping in it becomes too hard to breathe All the colors and the shapes start bleeding and it becomes too hard to see Panic's seeping in and I keep trying to break away Sometimes I wish I wasn't the way I am but it's just too hard to change My heart is racing I can feel each beat The sound is pounding In my head on repeat If I'm not choking I can barely breath The worst is over Or so it seems

Symphony 04:48
Are you there? Can you speak? I've been listening But can't hear the screams Can you sing me A melody With somber notes And undertones Of tragedy Well here I am Can you see? Lend me your voice And sing with me The words are simple Once you find the key So from the start Be a part Of my symhpony Of all the things I've done I can't recall one That led me astray From all the things I'd become I can't recall one Are you there Listening? Can you hear me When I sing? Should I play you An elegy With all it's turns And overtures And sublteties Of all the things I've done I can't recall one That led me astray From all the things I'd become I can't recall one Well here we are Finally Turning phrases With every beat But I need a choir And a harmony For the serenade The final refrain Of my symphony Of all the things I've done I can't recall one That led me astray From all the things I'd become I can't recall one
11.
I'm worse for ware And out of touch There's nothing here I'd miss too much I'll take it in And I'll replace Brighter things With darker shades Don't dread the wait It takes time to change And it'll be desolate But things can't stay They can't stay the same The path is dark And hard to see The end is close But out of reach I'm alone But I'm at peace Restless heart Don't bother me But don't dread the wait It takes time to change And it'll be desolate But things can't stay They can't stay the same

I was born and raised just west of Babylon On the north corner of 13th and fifth On the same street that grandma Jules is on Up the block from where my cousins lived In my early days I'd hear music playing From the garage outside my window Dad was always listening to the dead Later on He never changed the song He just moved down to the basement Yea, he's probably down there today Oh, where'd the time go? I remember days On South Long Island Playing hockey in the streets I listened to Movielife And played punk rock with my friends Never thought those days would end And in our glory days We would bathe In the sunlight in September I always loved the way the seasons changed And I was once young And deep in love And every day lasted forever I used to want things to stay the same But oh, I had to let it go I remember days On South Long Island Smoking weed down by the docks We listened to Stryder And made the best of what we got Whether if what we got was the best or not It ain't easy It ain't hard But to make the journey First you gotta start And I don't know What lies ahead I'm just trying to be grateful for All the places that I've been Cause I remember nights On South Long Island My Mother worked herself to death But she was strong for us When we didn't even know what strength was And I know she will be till the end As the years pass Me and J still laugh Looking back on South Long Island Putting down Buds and thinking about old friends And so it goes As we grow old We'll always have a place that we called home

about

Remission is Dylan Distaster's second solo record and is a tale of ups and downs, heartache and recovery. The journey to and from, past and present, giving up and fighting back. The album features punk rock bangers ("Sun Came Rising), a ukulele song about desolation ("Restless Heart"), and tracks of woe ("Precautionary Tales of Self Destruction" and "Can't Keep Up"). There's hints of nostalgia ("South Long Island") and hope for recovery (the title track). Through bouts of depression, mania, personal struggle and of course, remission, Dylan's sophomore album is more focused and intentional than anything he has done in the past, which in turn has created a sound that truly represents the man behind the music.
