I shouldn't mention your name, cause by now I know there's nothing left to gain, you burned me once and you burned me twice, on ice I'll keep it on ice
and I remember last September when I wished I was in your arms, I take it back cause I can't take it, and I remember wasting all my time talking to you every night, I take it back cause I can't take it anymore
and only on Tuesdays do I ever think of you anymore, it can't be the same as it was before, on ice i'll keep it on ice
and I remember last September when I wished I was in your arms, I take it back cause I can't take it, and I remember wasting all my time talking to you every night, I take it back cause I can't take it anymore
and all you were is words on a screen and eight mean songs in the long run, and all I am is another guy that you've used
I Wish I Didn't Care
your heart is cold without meaning, and you stole mine, and I want it back, I want it back, cause I fell into the quicksand just like everybody else, I never had a chance
It's 3 o'clock in the morning, and all is well, and I know it's never fair, but I wish I didn't care, and I know that you never think about me anymore, and I never had a prayer, but I wish I didn't care
and you know all that you're doing, no matter how innocent you look, you blame it all on an accident, an accident, and I swear that you're contagious cause every month you're with somebody else behind his back
I'm better off when I walk alone, and I'll forget about the hours on the phone, and I'll forget about you cause you're impossible, but don't tell my heart because it won't let go
The Knockout
time is tickin away, I only got a few years left now to prove that this is possible, and the pressure is bulding up but I'm not about to back down now, cause I know it's not impossible
I won't fall in line, cause it'd just be a waste of time and I'll only go down with the knockout, so throw your best at me now, you can try but you're never goona knock me out, and untill the day that I die, I'll be fighting
and the years keep flying by, I wont admit reality, I'll just let it pass me by, I'm 20 now with no excuse for anything I do, I can't loose the point and just lead a lie
Hell To Pay
so tell me what lies behind, the shell that you call your life, don't hide away, cause everyone needs redemption, you have to make it right, think it through today
cause He's always there for you, one prayer away, don't cover it up don't cover your eyes, and don't let it go, don't let it slide (away) without him don't you know, there's hell to pay, and there is a truth, so look through the lies, don't cover it up don't cover your eyes today, and don't throw it all, don't throw it all away
and once you know the truth, you can't look away, you just have to see it for yourself, and then you can't deny, that he'll be there to stay, and he's the only thing that helps
cause He's always there for you, one prayer away, don't cover it up don't cover your eyes, and don't let it go, don't let it slide (away) without him don't you know, there's hell to pay, and there is a truth, so look through the lies, don't cover it up don't cover your eyes today, and don't throw it all, don't throw it all away
Leech
I got classes two days a week and I'm unemployed, but I applied at the dollar store last week, I give plasma to fill the gas tank, it's the only money I see, I better watch out for my reputation, cause I'll be labeled a leech
cause I'm a loser college kid who's just a user, cause I'm a loser college kid who's just a user
and my guitar amp cost more than twice as much as my car, and I don't really care that it's had two hit and runs so far, and I haven't washed it since I bought it two years ago, and it doesn't matter, as long as it can get me to our next show
cause I'm a loser college kid who's just a user, cause I'm a loser college kid who's just a user
I thank God for tax returns, I think that I'll be ok, but if I didn't get one this year I wouldn't get a job anyway

Pierced is an energetic and melodic pop-punk/rock band that has been turning some heads in Wisconsin and beyond. With catchy melodies, meaningful lyrics, and award winning guitars, Pierced's songs are very innovative. The members of Pierced finished their debut album in the summer of 2006. It is called "Shed Happenings". The album name is in honor of the recording shed that Pierced likes to call "Six Short Studios."
On garageband.com, Pierced has dominated the top 20 songs on the current
pop-punk chart .
Just recently on Garageband.com, Pierced's song "Only On Tuesdays" was voted
number 1 best guitars
out of over 2,600 pop-punk songs!
Also, both of the songs "I Wish I Didn't Care" and "Only On Tuesdays" were recently asked to be in a flipping cool computer game called
"Walabers Trampoline".
Also, just recently,
WXAV 88.3FM
out of Chicago has asked Pierced for a CD submission to get played on the air. Pierced has also received a message from a producer of MTV/MTV2, asking for some demo material, and the "Knucklehead" guitar string company has asked to endorse Pierced.
Pierced's Album can be bought at Paradise Guitars On Inman Parkway in Beloit WI, for 10 bucks!, and at The Exclusive Company On Milton Avenue in Janesville WI, for 12 bucks.
Mail in orders are also accepted!!! $10 for the CD and $3 S&H
Please write check and money orders out to Caleb Kimball in the amount of $13.00 and mail to Caleb Kimball 1702 E. Zick Dr. Beloit, WI 53511
Right now Pierced is not playing many shows. But the future looks to be promising. Pierced's biggest concern right now is making some killer recordings for their next album to hopefully follow the success of "shed happenings."
Pierced's song "Walk the Line" is in the movie
"Growing up Thirty"
, and also the band has had airtime on 101FM WQFL in Wisconsin. Also Pierced's song "Ounce of Faith" is on the regular rotation for
"Bad Dawg Radio"
. Just recently, The Beloit Daily News posted a fairly large
column about Pierced .
Jake is the lead singer and guitarist of Pierced. He enjoys giving plasma for money, but now he is an EMT as well. Jake likes to write songs and spend days on end in the recording shed. Some of Jake's favorite bands are L.I.T, Midtown, DC Talk, blink 182, Panic! at the Disco, Audio Adrenaline, Fall Out Boy, and Green Day. "My current favorite food is ramen noodles cause they're just so salty and good."
Nick, the drummer. Nick has been playing drums since grade school. He initially liked classic rock, and bands like Boston, Rush, and The Who. Now he listens primarily to progessive rock and progressive metal for their amazing drums and showcases of real talent. He once wrote and recorded a song that describes his hatred of simplistic "four chord" pop-punk music. He likes to play drum parts that are out of the normal scope for pop-punk and rock. Every once in a while, he'll throw in a drum part like mike portnoy or his drum hero Neil Peart. Nick personally mixes and masters Pierced's new music to the best of his ability (in the shed). Nick is a pizza delivery guy.
Tom, the bassist. Tom instigated the start of Pierced. Back in the early days at Parkview High School, Tom asked Jake to come over and play some guitar with himself and Nick. Since then, the band has come a long way. Some of Tom's favorite bands are Relient k, Audio Adrenaline, Spoken, and Grammatrain. Among Tom's favorite sayings is "you dumbo pansis francis," which he frequently calls people who are currently being dumb.
Brandon, the lead guitarist, joined Pierced half way through the summer of 2005. His amazing guitar talent has made Pierced's new sound extremely innovative. He has played guitar since he was about 14, and some of his favorite bands are System of A Down, Nirvana, Queens of The Stone Age, and Tool. Brandon and Jake have been good friends since the 7th grade, and they played in a band called
Jamron
. Aside from amazing guitar solos, brandon also wrote songs such as "Every Action", and "Slow Down". He also mixed all the recordings on "shed happenings." Brandon can also hear pitches and tell you what note they are. I know...how the heck do you do that?
This is the shed that Pierced records in. A while ago, Jake went into the shed to record a guitar part, and he opened up his guitar case and found a mouse with 3 little babies. So, he quick grabbed his guitar and shut the case and started recording.
