    None of hte lyrics really get to me, I quite enjoy them! I love the whole war theme. Not the fact that it causes death, just the fact that we can kind of relate.

    My favorite is probably this verse from Unemployable:

    "Well his wife and kids' asleep but he's still awake
    On his brain weighs the curse of thirty bills unpaid
    Gets up, lights a cigarette he's grown to hate
    Thinkin if he can't sleep, how will he ever dream again..."

    With this section from Army Reserve being a close second:

    "Her son's slanted
    Always giving her the sideways eye
    An empty chair where dad sits
    How loud can silence get?
    And mom, she reassures to contain him
    But it's becoming a lie...
    She tells herself and everyone else
    Father is risking his life for our freedoms"

    I love how he sings the last two lines from that. Like the mother knows it's not entirely true, but is trying to convince herself that it is. So sad.

    And sometimes you're there
    And you're talking back to me
    Come the morning I could swear you're next to me
    I'll dig a tunnel
    from my window to yours

    On my knees to rise and fix my broken soul

    "Darkness comes in waves... tell me,
    why invite it to stay?
    You're warm with negativity,
    Yes, comfort is an energy...
    But why let the sad song play?"

    Some of my favorite lyrics :)

    And I won't need nothing else
    Cause when we're dead
    We would've had it all

    And died
    I would've fallen from the sky
    Till you parachutes have opened now
    once dissolved we are free to grow.

    Now you got both sides claiming killing in God's name
    But God is nowhere...to be found convenently
    ...
    God, what do you say?

    What a neat way to capsulize all the horrible things that people do in the name of organized religion without ever stopping to ask themselves what God might say. Who knows what might happen if they spent more time listening and less time shouting each other down?

    Those undecided
    Needn't have faith to be free.
    And those misguided,
    There was a plan for them to be...

    Thats exactly how i feel. Although religion is a great thing it is used alot of the time in the wrong way, i am undecided when it comes to god but i have the freedom to enjoy this life as much as i can

    the lyrics on the new record are really good - took a month or two to set it, but....

    I'd say Gone for now...

    Come Back certainly rings true as well.

    Life Wasted.

    I think that song hits the nail on the head when applied to my life right now.

    The world awaits just up the stairs
    Leave the pain for someone else
    Nothing back there for you to find
    Or was it you you left behind?
    You're always saying you're too weak to be strong
    You're harder on yourself than just about anyone
    Why swim the channel just to get this far?
    Halfway there, why would you turn around?
    Make your life a mission - not an intermission. - Arnold Gasglow

    Two lyrics stand out for me....


    "You can't say I never tried"....

    * I think this line in the text of the song is very powerful cause it says alot about today's labor conditions in the U.S. For an American to lose their job to someone who is willing to work at a lower rate, what can that person say, "You can't say I never tried"......

    "I will run into the rain, to shine a human light again"....

    * The entire song is a inner revelation, and the first part is when someone's admits all their faults, and then when it hits the above line, the song turns into a healing mode, I will run into the rain, to be cleaned off, and then my inner soul/beauty will once again be revealed.

    Definitely -Gone- right now. Sometimes my wife and I just feel really restless in general, and we just hop in the car and drive, to nowhere, making turns when we feel like it.

    We've gone several states away with no plan before deciding to turn back for home. Makes us feel really free for a moment.
