about
Our good friend and band manager Ryan Kuper has been fighting cancer for a while. As you know, medical bills add up quickly. We came out of retirement and wrote/recorded a new song in the last two weeks to help him out with some recent expenses. 100% of all sales and streams of this song "Kerosene & Matches" are going to this fundraiser:
fundly.com/ryan-kuper-s-recovery
Ryan is one of the most amazing and selfless people out there and his hard work is probably the reason you even know about AKCBD in the first place. He discovered us in a garage in Riverside, CA and spent years helping us build our brand. Please consider donating towards his fundraiser or pitching in more than $1 here on Bandcamp
Thanks a bunch
lyrics
Sometime in the future
we'll grab a drink and laugh
'cuz I've been writing new words
and they're all about the past
Sometimes kids are stupid
and fuck up what they have
when you're on the road and lose it
You might never come back
Sorry for running
You built something from nothing
I'm just a kid with kerosene
and a pocket full of matches
Skip town but I've always been down with you
They say, "Young hearts love to start brand new"
I'm sorry that we ran around and burned it down in to nothing
but pierced ears don't always hear the truth
and you deserve better
yeah you deserved better
Sometime in the future
we'll grab a glass of wine
and talk about old punk rock
and 2009
'cuz everyone has bad years
and Baby that one's mine
a kiss could be some new thing
but it could also mean goodbye
Sorry for running
You built something from nothing
I'm just a kid with kerosene
and a pocket full of matches
Skip town but I've always been down with you
They say, "Young hearts love to start brand new"
I'm sorry that we ran around and burned it down in to nothing
but pierced ears don't always hear the truth
and you deserve better
yeah you deserved better
