Please don't remind me of myself You're everything I'm not supposed to be Take a look at the world in the mirror Push and shove and hate and love We're crowded in a room of yellow Fuck you, I hate you, you're gone I can feel a thud under my tires Blossoms of trees pricking everything A funnel of blood and a river of shit Drowning me, hates me, fucks me, kills me There's a boiling in my stomach Of shit that has passed Of shit I can't grasp I pray this won't last There's a boiling in my stomach Of shit that has passed Of shit I can't grasp I pray this won't last There's a boiling in my stomach Of shit that has passed Of shit I can't grasp I pray this won't last There's a boiling in my stomach Of shit that has passed Of shit I can't grasp I pray this won't last Please don't leave me please don't die You left me alone and I fucking hate you Why did you lie to me and sucked down You should not have kept me alive You should have just fucking killed me Master controls puppets and you pulled my I can feel a thud under my tires Blossoms of trees pricking everything A funnel of blood and a river of shit Drowning me, hates me, fucks me, kills me This motherfucker wants to hold on to me I said, this motherfucker wants to hold on to me I said, this motherfucker wants to hold on to me I said, this motherfucker won't let me be This motherfucker wants to hold on to me I said, this motherfucker wants to hold on to me I said, this motherfucker wants to hold on to me I said, this motherfucker won't let me be Let me in You never let me in Why won't you let me in We're gonna break you down We're gonna break you down

I came home when the sun was down The flowers had been sleeping awhile My room was dark and cold The thoughts started heating my soul I started wondering what life was like If I hadn't been living so long Maybe I fell asleep really fast I couldn't tell 'cause you stole my dream I hate you, you kill me, we die away Thanks for pissing it all away I had to kill on my day off It wasn't a pretty sight I had to kill you on my day off Or I'd kill myself instead You never take a day off in my head I put my hand up to my face And shuddered my pain away I laid my head on my bed There are no more trips ahead I still don't know where you are That isn't the question here For the first time I felt something soft I just had to take a day off with fear I hate you, you kill me, we die away Thanks for pissing it all away I had to kill on my day off It wasn't a pretty sight I had to kill you on my day off Or I'd kill myself instead You never take a day off in my head All you fucking punks, walk on by Don't you stare at me All you fucking punks, walk on by Don't you stare at me All you fucking punks, walk on by Don't you stare at me All you fucking punks, walk on by Don't you stare at me Don't you stare I hate you, you kill me, we die away Thanks for pissing it all away I had to kill on my day off It wasn't a pretty sight (sight, sight, sight) (I, I, I, I) I had to kill you on my day off Or I'd kill myself instead (You never, you never, you) You never take a day off in my head (In my head, head, in my head, in my head, head) (I had to kill) I had to kill on my day off (Off, off, off, off) (It wasn't, it wasn't, it wasn't) It wasn't a pretty sight (No, no, no, no, no, no) I had to kill you on my day off

Bit My Lip 03:54

As I shift through the valley of this coming storm I will meet with a friend and we will sadly mourn The passing of the day that was ripped and torn We smiled at each other while the moon was born I took a step forward then I dreamed again Of a warm summer night that meant more to them Blinded by the sound of a large depression I tried to tell her it wasn't her I hated but him I said I wanted to color you I said I wanted to color you You only hear what you wanna hear and You only see what you wanna see and I'm sick of all the shit you pull I'm sick of all the shit you pull I'm sick of all the shit you pull I only feel what I wanna feel I only feel what I wanna feel I only feel what I wanna feel I saw that a lot of your antennas were long I still can't sleep at night with this buzzing song I can't touch your face and think that I was wrong The ocean still swims in the tide that we're on Flying means nothing unless you're running fast You can't look over your shoulder and remember the past Running up your arm it broke with a smash We play dumb through the hatred of the morning crash The mourning crash You only hear what you wanna hear and You only see what you wanna see and I'm sick of all the shit you pull I'm sick of all the shit you pull I'm sick of all the shit you pull I only feel what I wanna feel I only feel what I wanna feel I only feel what I wanna feel Bit my lip in disgust And you like hate Bit my lip in disgust And you like hate Bit my lip in disgust And you like hate Bit my lip in disgust And you like hate Bit my lip in disgust And you like hate Bit my lip in disgust And you like hate Bit my lip in disgust And you like hate Bit my lip in disgust And you like hate

Pain crushes you I can reflect on my memories and see when you were so good and liked by me I can remember your eyes and how graceful they were And how graceful your body was and how much I grew up And how much I grew up, and how much I grew to hate you You knew I was hanging by my fingernails but you found a new hobby You found a new hobby and that hobby was worse than killing me You learned to love kicking me, and oh how you kicked me And I wonder if you remember what I was really like And I wonder if you remember what we were really like And I wonder if you remember what you're really like Maybe I didn't mean to hurt you Don't you ever think of yourself Guess when, guess who Guess what, I'm dead Can't we just breathe a breath of air And make it all go away And I want to ask myself one thing Why do I wake up crying every fucking night And where the Hell are you Confusion rushes like a river How can you forget about what we wanted And how can you forget the words that killed and maimed you I wonder how we can forget that night at your table When you told me how you really felt And I made so many promises, oh so many promises And if I remember what was said You made many promises, oh so many promises And if I learned one thing through this heartache Its promises are meant to be broken And if you weren't so goddamn perfect You'd realize the most important promise was broken by you But you'll never believe that because you are the one who moved on You broke your promise and lied to me and I guess I hate you I guess I hate you, I guess I hate you and I don't know what else to do Do you remember that night when the summer was cold And you were hot with rage but cried ‘cause I had to leave I ask you now, who really left who I think it was you Can't we just breathe a breath of air And make it all go away And I want to ask myself one thing Why do I wake up crying every fucking night And where the Hell are you The sun hurts my eyes Remembering the sun hurts my eyes You stand in the sun's light Your silhouette burns through I can trace the beauty that you possess I will never be close to you I am afraid my life is gone My love is fading away

You can't hide from me, I hold your soul You can't lie to me, I've heard it all before I can't feel my head, you've stolen everything I can't see myself, you've promised me lies What's the use in trying, we all return to nothing Crimson blood flows without thought, you've turned me into fear I can't feel my insides, they've seem to disappear I now know I'm useless, this is your mighty creation You looked inside yourself and all you saw were lies (fucking lies) You left me to wonder and wander through broken eyes This disease turns you out and crushes your soul My blackest days are the ones screaming down this hole You know hope is a terrible thing It holds you and crushes you and keeps you down And maybe you already knew this for you always hoped I'd be more And when you grew tired of waiting you gave up hope And gave me nothing worth sticking around for My hatred grows strong, there is no light ahead You left me all alone, the dark is my only friend There's nothing left to feel, I pray this shit will end I'm a big stupid fuck, I wait patiently for the night For the night You looked inside yourself and all you saw were lies You left me to wonder and wander through broken eyes This disease turns you out and crushes your soul My blackest days are the ones screaming down this hole Bad times, dark times you handed to me Make time, Hell time, I'm dead and I see Bad times, dark times you handed to me Make time, Hell time, I'm dead and I see I picked open my scabbed sacrifice You stole everything I hold sacred I picked open my scabbed sacrifice You stole everything I hold sacred I picked open my scabbed sacrifice You stole everything I hold sacred I picked open my scabbed sacrifice You stole everything I hold sacred

I was dreaming again about high powered toilet paper I talked to my best friend about how much we hate Julie Maybe if there wasn't so much to lose in gambling I'd roll the dice If you crawled out of your skin would people tell you where the bus was Too bad there wasn't a color dirt blue star, I'd paint my room with it I just heard the word "fucked" twice on the radio, that's bad I would never try to climb a beam of light in fear that someone would shut it off Mailboxes are so much easier to destroy if they're on the sidewalk I've never met a blind hemophiliac chainsaw juggler, but I know they're out there I like to stand Stand in the aisle Aisle means alone Alone and wishing I like to stand Stand in the aisle Aisle means alone Alone and wishing I don't really care that Santa is fake but thank God for the Easter Bunny Sometimes a banana is just a banana, I like that saying Don't ever try to poke your eye out with scissors, you might just do it The government's bringing us down, repression, society sucks ah blah blah blah If I could decapitate all the alterna-dorks, I'd videotape it and laugh If Jesus came back the last thing he'd wanna see are crucifixes I woke up with a sunburn and started laughing because life is silly I just saw fireworks and I was expecting the house lights to come on when they were finished I was thinking about how much martyrs hurt, when you think about them I like to stand (stand) Stand in the aisle (aisle) Aisle means alone (alone) Alone and wishing (wishing) I like to stand (stand) Stand in the aisle (aisle) Aisle means alone (alone) Alone and wishing (wishing) It's kind of funny that I can't hear you We're heading towards the sun in a cricket I ate lunch for you, is there any more to ask for Who brought the cool kid, trying to sell me his carbonated breakfast

A brown eyed smile from down below Reach up through the darkness too slow A summer dream that came up fast Out of the blue and into the past Oh, I'm trying to get back home and Oh, I'm trying to not be alone and Oh, I'm dragging myself up now and Oh, I'm scratching to not disappear The summer falls, the nights will crawl Out of the street and into the hall You looked at me from up above Told me the things and gave me a shove Oh, I'm trying to get back home and Oh, I'm trying to not be alone and Oh, I'm dragging myself up now and Oh, I'm scratching to not disappear There must be something more than this Something I have failed to miss There must be something more than this Something I have failed to miss

One day you're thinking that maybe you're feeling better And you're probably an okay person, if only you had a job Through the hollow tombs can see them Through their mouths I can hear them praying for pain But it's only a game Listen man, I know That things are really rough And everybody gets you And life is really tough But I know that deep down inside There's a feeling that rides All the way to the end Thursday you sit in your room with the lights turned out And you don't answer the door Friday morning looks sunny and bright Like it's going to be a good day And it would be if only you had a job Time is on your side, you're young Don't waste your time today Time is on your side, you're young Don't waste your time today Be aggressive B-e aggressive B-e a-g-g-r-e-s-s-i-v-e Be aggressive B-e aggressive B-e a-g-g-r-e-s-s-i-v-e Be aggressive B-e aggressive B-e a-g-g-r-e-s-s-i-v-e Be aggressive B-e aggressive B-e a-g-g-r-e-s-s-i-v-e

about

“This very inscrutable foursome has got a lock on making very emotional music. Sure, this leans towards pop, but not because it’s always whimsical. Yellow #1’s pop leanings spring from their nicely structured songs. While the whimsy shows through sometimes, but it’s their ability to convey the trial and tribulations of the real human experience (the minor insecurities and disappointments along with the small joys) that is their main strength... Brian Paone seems to be the prodigy here...”
— CIRCUS MAGAZINE
“Snippets of techno, disco and rock styles slammed together like canned sardines with some kind of odd babbling by a slightly deranged sounding guy. Interesting stuff, especially for those of you with Attention Deficit Disorder...”
— NORTHEAST PERFORMER

Yellow #1 was Brian Paone’s first band. The music of Yellow #1 was intended to have the whimsical flavor of synth-pop bands, with the lyrical integrity and vocal intensity of metal bands. Combining the two polar opposites into one sound, made for a very debatably interesting album. Their debut album, "Bottle Of Rain," was recorded and released in 1996.

Their live shows were full of samples and triggers, as well as the members of the band swapping around instruments on stage. The band played shows throughout MA, NH, & RI. The pinnacle of their success was when a Boston radio station played the single, "Broken Eyes," on rotation, and Yellow #1 was asked to open up for Godsmack in 1997.

Brian pulled the plug on Yellow#1 after being approached by another musician to form a more industrial-metal band. This new band would eventually turn into Drop Kick Jesus.
