I've never seen any love for this song on here. It isn't one of my top 20, but it's pretty fantastic and I think the riff is awesome, so is Mike's mini solo. I also love the way Ed sings it. One of my favorites from Riot Act. Anyone really love this song?

    I love it too, but it's typical for PJ to play the hell out of the shitty songs and ignore the good ones.

    I have ALWAYS liked this song. I can't believe people blow this one off so much...

    I agree, I think it's an underrated song.

    the mind is grey like the city, packing in and overgrown
    love is deep, dig it out
    standing in a hole alone
    working for something that one can never hold
    a place in the clouds
    good place to hide oh my oh...
    so i'm flying (away, away)
    driving (away, away)
    finding hope in ways i missed before
    i missed before
    the tv, she talks to me
    breaking news and building walls
    selling me what i don't need
    i never knew soap made you taller
    so i'm riding (away, away)
    hiding (away, away)
    so much talk it makes no sense at all
    my senses have gone... awol, awol, awol, awol, awol...
    so i'm hiding (away, away)
    driving (away, away)
    passing new friends i won't know at all
    won't know at all
    it doesn't hurt when i bleed
    but my memories, they eat me
    i've seen it all before...
    bring it on, cause i'm no victim
    dying (away, away)
    dying (away, away)
    dying
    dying...

    the point of this song, to me, was always about being overwhelmed and just becoming invisible because of it.

    your senses go AWOL, and you just want to hide, find things within yourself, and it's getting increasingly harder to do that anymore.

    I never knew soap made you taller

    love that one too.
    :D

    Decent tune, saw it live. :)

    yeah, kind of musically boring...simple chords, pentatonic Mike over the top...

    needed a little extra, weird twist in there somewhere

    Maybe a better bridge would have helped. :)
