When I Was Alive: Walden Iii - Lyrics - A Wilhelm Scream

A Wilhelm Scream is a melodic hardcore band from New Bedford, Massachusetts. Many people have referenced Strung Out, Hot Water Music, Propagandhi, and Strike Anywhere as the band's similar artists. Their name is a reference to the Wilhelm Scream, a famous stock sound effect which mainly is used in films. The band previously went by the names Smackin' Isaiah, Koen, and Adam's Crack, though the former was the only name to be used in any major release. The reason for the name changes "from Koen to Smackin' Isaiah to A Wilhelm Scream was really a matter of them adding new members, and progressing maturing as a band". They have been called "the best hardcore band since Black Flag".

I kicked it altogether last night. I had this dream I was alone. It's been lying with me for 9 years and counting. Got what I want, why am I miserable? Kick this new addiction out, it's grown up. Inherited and on the hush. From a smiling drunk to the embarrassing lush, love what? I'm a magnet to *** and such. Now the happy disguise? The pill does this on its own. And like Thoreau, it's a quiet place for me. The sticks or the woods, it's all miles away from you. I got an angry thirst. We're all ***. I got a sad, sad thirst. We're all ***. I had a happy thirst, but then came you. I'm getting right back on it later tonight. It takes my mind off of the phone, how it's been silent for 2 weeks in my pocket. How'd I ge so *** loveable? Take my Midas ***-powers to give out. Apologize to who I touch. I could have ruined you too, but I was beaten to the punch. Hug what? Why should I care who you go ***? And like Thoreau, it's a quiet place for me. The sticks or the woods, it's all miles away from you. I got an angry thirst. We're all ***. I got a sad, sad thirst. We're all ***. I had a happy thirst before you and I. If I loved this, then why do you make me sick? Why do you make me sad? Why do you make me sick of your poor sick mouth? Stop ruining it, for the last few months seem *** years. Oh to crack for this marginal sex with your dirty *** to spit, why do you make me sick? How many tricks until it drips with this ugliness I've found? I'm falling down. Why do you make me?
