Our drummer, Dave got his MA from University Of Chicago. He loves the lyrics. Our bassist loves Naked Raygun. He loves the "woah-woahs".

Lead guitar: Matt

This one just came pouring out of me in about 5 minutes. It seems to be a topic with which I have something of an obsession.

1.
I looked at myself
With my own eyes
And said, "You'd better do something"
I took my life
In my own hands
And felt it's weight
And then I threw it as far as (I could)

(I could) feel my hot breath on my neck
And so I set that all aside
I got shook down
When I looked around
I found that I lost my life

2.
I had to get it back
But didn't know
Where to start looking
So I wandered aimlessly
Saw some old friends
But they didn't know me

So I broke down
Sat on the ground
And I heard something snap
So I got up
And sure enough
It was broken, but I got it back

I got it back

3.
Now I watch it twice as hard
In doing that
I think I'm loosing
What I've been dedicated to
And cannot loose
Because I'll never find it (again)

(Again) I'm lost
And I know this time
I'll never get it back
It was held too tight
With all my might
And now it's more than cracked

But I got it back

(reprise)
I looked at myself
With my own eyes
And said, "You'd better do something"
I took my life
In my own hands
And felt it's weight
And then I threw it as far as I could...

You're right Pop, I dig the lyrics very much. I also love the raw energy and fairly friggen tight for such raw delivery - overall conclusion - good tune, thanks for the tip, and much success brother, you got real heart and an interesting perspective, and for that - respect!!!

The Good Stuff V
Highly philosophical lyrics set to breakneck speed. This used to be a favorite of my friends. It's since become one of the forgotten songs. Maybe, to your fresh ears, this will become a favorite yet again?
