Name: I don't want to be anything forever
Duration: P00H03M48S
Description: I have written and re-written lyrics to this riff many times. I have had it kicking around for a very long time without having any permanent lyrics. I settled on these ones about running away from home and the guilt associated with that. I guess you could call that the theme of this album. You'd be making the assumption that I understood what a theme was, though.

about

I have written and re-written lyrics to this riff many times. I have had it kicking around for a very long time without having any permanent lyrics. I settled on these ones about running away from home and the guilt associated with that. I guess you could call that the theme of this album. You'd be making the assumption that I understood what a theme was, though.

lyrics

The shakey feeling is back again, there's not enough liquor in the city to steady these hands. This town's made its demands and it's a price I just couldn't pay. It feels like I'm losing touch and I can't stand to have a heart so full of hate. I reiterate again and again, it's not you, it's me. The roads leading out are hard to see, but it's long past my cue to leave. It's not the end scene, but for me sticking around means waiting to die. It means never trying to find a better way, it means ignoring all the signs that all this shit is fake. I just don't need it. I hope there's no hard feelings, for me I hold no grudge. When a relationship has lost it's love, it's time to move on. This place just doesn't seem to be any part of who I want to be anymore.
