One last call and one more drink So you stop your thinking I’m worn out, done wearing thin Is your heart still beating? And this well is running dry So I write these letters to say goodbye It has come to this An unkind sleep paralysis And you know I’m restless Ya you’re jealous but not reckless Woah ya ah ah ah What do you say when you just don’t trust em Woah ya ah ah ah Open your mouth and just say somethin’ Woah ya ah ah ah No progress when you just say nothin’ Woah ya ah ah ah 2 years long and 2 years lost All the lines you have crossed I got a grip and a hopeful grin Will it pull you back in? Why do I even try? So I write these letters to say goodbye

I’ve seen movies like this before Late at night, lying in my bed As rain beat across my window A throbbing pain beat inside my head ...and I’ve been sitting around Wasting too much time Participation still advised Maladjusted to 40 hours Stress is on the rise I’m just a victim of a nine to five A nine to five It seems I’m drinking more and more Why even bother to punch the clock at all Next thing you know I'm on the floor Another night that’s illegible ...and I’ve been feeling down With something on my mind Humiliation still advised Maladjusted to 40 hours Stress is on the rise I’m just a victim of a nine to five A nine to five

Die In A Fire 01:43

Where did you come from? In those shiny shoes and your neck tattoo Have you hurt somebody? Have you hurt yourself? Spending all your family’s wealth Die Fuckin’ people like you Die To be a person like you Right Better people like me Right To be a person like me Die in a fire Die in a fire Where’d you come from? Loving your nice things more than very nice people Do you have a soul? Do you even care? Spending more on your fuckin’ hair Die Fuckin’ people like you Die To be a person like you Right Better people like me Right To be a person like me Die in a fire Die in a fire Die in a fire Die in a fire

Cedar and Spruce 02:37

The rain won't stop falling I'm falling more in love with you We sit and stare out at the ocean Surrounded by cedar and spruce Cedar and Spruce I don't know if it's a true connection take a moment for some introspection the world outside is but reflection it's not unusual to act without intention The rain won't stop falling I'm falling more in love with you We sit and stare out at the ocean Surrounded by cedar and spruce Cedar and Spruce The air outside is getting colder Fog's creeping in, I can feel it in my bones and as my hands and heart grow older I hold you closer I'll be with you be your side The rain won't stop falling I'm falling more in love with you We sit and stare out at the ocean Surrounded by cedar and spruce Cedar and Spruce

Creep 02:56
lyrics
buy track
Hold on, are you finished with me yet? It’s not worth it. I’m fighting but nothing is right about it. There’s no backbone in my body, I’ve lost it for some time. Needed an MRI, or wisdom for a dime. Hold on, not another fucking word The signals you’re sending, I’ve read them for sure Maybe you need the MRI? There’s no red light, alarm, that you’ve gone too far And I can’t help it now To be just what you need, being your creep To be just what you need, being your creep Because there’s something And Its overwhelming That’s going to break free I’ve been holding I’ve been ignoring This time I finally see And I can’t help it now To be just what you need, being your creep To be just what you need, being your creep

Square Peg 01:09

Sit the fuck down and do your god damn job You’re not paid to think for yourself If I wanted your opinion ya I would give one to you But I don’t. So you won’t. Say another word. You know curiosity killed the cat? Your complacency killed your soul One square peg and one round hole Early bird catches the worm But all you’ve caught is a cold One square peg and one round hole Do you know your worth? Other than fucking worthless Unremarkable like everyone else And I fucking own you, you know that I do Give me a reason. It’s your move. What do you gotta prove?

I can’t tell if you’re a sociopath or a sycophant An unhinged pharmacist dosing out your own brand To keep us medicated, to keep us all sedated Make sure your every wish goes undebated No elegance No class A narcissist A black mass But you keep going on like this shit is normal We know it’s carnal, it’s made of formol Why not walk away? Ya it’s time to quit your fucking managers these feckless fucking assholes Woahs A feigning act to gain complete control A life sentence, a sentence without parole Your sincerity, your severity You believe your presence is a fucking charity Cus what you say! is insane! and what you do! is all for you! But you keep going on like this shit is normal We know it’s carnal, it’s made of formol

My Resignation is the result of three thirty-somethings reconnecting through music and the reimagining of their high-school punk rock band.

Originally called Team Strike Force, TSF was active from 2004-2009 playing dirty basements and small soon-to-be-shutdown venues throughout the interior of British Columbia. Songs were fast and the subject matter humorous. With adulthood quickly approaching, Team Strike Force played their last show at a house party on August 15th, 2009. Their set was cut short when the RCMP shut down the party due to noise complaints. The band members continued into the next stages of their lives—college, careers, and new relationships.

In February 2019 lead vocalist and guitarist Dustin Woodman and drummer Graydon Oshiro reconnected over the phone—reminiscing about the joys of playing punk rock together in high-school. As they had never recorded anything from their younger days, Dustin and Graydon decided to document their music to share with friends and family. After a few sessions, it was apparent that much of their original material was either forgotten or no longer reflective of themselves. As a result, they decided to write new material.

The album “My Resignation” is a collection of 7 songs spanning the spectrum of punk/hardcore examining mental health, career exasperation, defeating institutions, and complicated relationships—themes perhaps too mature for their early years. It was recorded over a long weekend in their hometown of Vernon B.C. with original bassist Lyle Hopkins. On December 27, 2019, TSF played their first live performance in over 10 years to a hall packed with friends new and old.
