about

Perhaps my most "famous" song, that has been rerecorded and played with a few times throughout the years. The 2013 version's only differences are a slight lyric change, added clean guitar melody and the solo becoming the melody from another old song, Contact Sensitive, which was more suited and added a nice new throwback.

lyrics

These fingers tighten like a rope
Because I left my anchor somewhere out at sea
The chains have dragged along behind me
As I've scanned this poor city for pleasantries
And pleasing "please"s
To quell the hunger for a good night's slumber
Wrapped in the legs of any other
Promising the wildest dreams are true

I've shaken off the best of things
Just to taste the worst of things
I've seen it all; the rise and fall
The ebb and flow that leaves me cold

And what right do I have to say my part?
Everybody's suffering from a broken heart
I can't take another day inside this shell
Make life worth living or give me hell

We all know we have no reason to live
But we've still got the will to find one
And hell yeah, we're gonna find it or die trying
My face is known across the town on wanted posters
For this trail of broken bodies
All in the name of great expectations like everybody else

You're somewhere in the back of my mind
There's a Supernova in the back of my mind
There's a Supernova in the back of my mind at all times

And what right do I have to say my part?
Everybody's suffering from a broken heart
I can't take another day inside this shell
Make life worth living or give me hell

Casanova's a demon in regal attire
Make use of the rope around my wrists
Bind me to the man I never could commit to
What the fuck are you waiting for?

And what right do I have to say my part?
Everybody's suffering from a broken heart
I can't take another day inside this shell
Make life worth living or give me hell
