Great name for a band
Earnest Punishment
The story
Earnest Punishment was formed in the hallowed halls of a somber, all-boys academy in Portland, Oregon, in the mid-90s. The founding members, Carl Waverly and Gavin Stringer, were both expelled for their rebellious acts. As a form of expression and escape, they turned to music and found solace in their shared love for melancholic and thought-provoking tunes, hence giving birth to Earnest Punishment. They believe that their music is a catharsis for them and a voice for those who feel unheard and misunderstood. After the recruitment of drummer Ray Cepeda and bassist Ethan Hawkins, the band was complete and ready to rock the world.
Days of Solitude
Verse 1 [Em] Walking down the [G] path less tread, [D] Lost in thoughts [A] inside my head. [Em] Shadow of the [G] past so gaunt, [D] In these days of [A] solitude I haunt. Chorus [C] Days of [G] solitude, I'm [D] lost in you. [Em] Burdened heart, [G] painted in hues of [D] blue. [C] Words unspoken, [G] promises broken. [D] In my silent [A] screams, Earnest [Em] Punishment, it seems. Verse 2 [Em] Through the glass [G] pane I stare, [D] Seeking solace, [A] finding despair. [Em] Echoes of the [G] love once bright, [D] Now dimmed in the [A] labyrinth of night. Chorus [C] Days of [G] solitude, I'm [D] drowning in you. [Em] Prisoner of past, [G] covered in layers of [D] rue. [C] Dreams shattered, [G] faith battered. [D] The reflection in the [A] mirror, Earnest [Em] Punishment, in terror. Outro [C] Days of [G] solitude, I'm [D] lost, it's true. [Em] But in this pain, [G] I'll find a me that's [D] new. [C] From the ashes, [G] a phoenix ascends, [D] It's not the end, [A] but where the journey [Em] extends.
