From The EP WHAT!?
Written 2008
Working Title: Crazy G
I wrote this song when I was listening to a lot of Van Halen, Maroon 5, Seal. Jeff came up with the big drum intro. Some of these riffs were from 2005. The keyboards. This was the last complete song written while Michael Homan was in the band. The last song we were working on was some riffs for "The Rift" I had, that sadly never got used for anything. Maybe it's time to bring them back?
I added the missing synth parts and doubled the lead vocal (weird doing it 10 years later almost). I took a few backing vocal elements from the 2011 Album version. John helped with additional backing vocals at the end of 2018.

Lyrics by Derrick Faith
Everyone's always in such a hurry
To go nowhere at all
Got me thinking maybe I should worry
I can't seem to see my feet before I fall
In and out of the same situation
Burn it down, build it up again
I can taste your infatuation
Tearing up my mind so let's begin
You're alot of smoke and mirrors
And maybe I should make this clearer
Runnin' through the past
Still you never know it's true
How's it come to be
The only person here not crazy
Is me?
And can you feel it
Crashing down around you
And can you feel it
Holding back the fear
And can you feel it
Rising up against you
Cause I can feel it
Breaking me down
The tide has shifted
And the game has changed
Can you help me baby
Do I seem deranged
Lost ambitions
And the wasted pain
Only make you stronger
When the money fades
