This was the first track Keith wrote with us, and we knew instantly that he was on the right track. The song also happened to be a first for the band in arranging and jamming on ideas in a live setting. I think it captures the energy that we all felt towards this song.
lyrics
insane, I realize
this is all a lie!
I can't breathe
with this fear of failure
suffocating me
I just want to know
what is there to live for
when you're dead inside now anyway?
if it's true you don't care
why not just let go?
blind, we follow
broken by design
there will come a time
that we all say goodbye
we have forgotten we are alive
and we can't see past the physical
we just relapse. so difficult. SO TYPICAL!
I can't breathe
with this fear of failure
suffocating me
I'm losing control
as the pillars of trust now turn to dust
all the lies we create determine our fate
is it we have forgotten that
this is more than a dream
we are stuck here together and
we're sworn enemies
blind, we follow
broken by design
there will come a time
that we all say goodbye
GOODBYE!!!
why follow?
last chance to escape denial
why follow?
only to repeat the cycle...
what is there to live for?
why not just let go?
