about

As human beings, we strive to acquire an esoteric interpretation of success. In moments wherein this yearning for success is met with fervent opposition, one’s reaction can yield utmost disappointment with the self. When this low self-efficacy continues unchecked, it develops into dark, claustrophobic thoughts that invade the mind even in our most private moments. This song highlights this unnerving anxiety and depression and brings light to the fact that we are our own greatest obstacle.

Also this song is in 6/4 and we think that's pretty cool.

lyrics

Watch as the sun begins to descend
Time to lay your head to rest
But your thoughts begin to race
Reminding of your disgrace

I am alive, but why do I not feel alive?
This hate I hold overwhelms and it burns like hell

Once again you are denied
Of your most desire
And you know your frustrations
Stems from constant failure

I am alive, but why do I not feel alive?
This hate I hold overwhelms and its aimed at myself

In life, you reap what you sow
You sow what you know
And all you seem to know
Is sorrow

No!
Quit your bitching
You've always been
Quick to give in
This ain't living

Special Thanks:

Momma Marcia for letting us record in her home and for doing half the band's taxes.

Sarah for taking time out of her extremely busy schedule to whip us up the art only she can deliver. Seriously, thank you :)

Lauren Trumble for bestowing Derf with his girlfriend's 8-month old kid and challenging him to type all this out with one hand.

And the combination of listening to System of a Down's first self-titled record while on psybicillin mushrooms. Also counting in 3's instead of 4's.
