    Story Behind the Song
    This song was actually first written quite some time ago, but has undergone a few changes since then. It was written while George was a temp at the Psychological Corporation and they had these HUGE inane motivational sayings hanging from the rafters such as "If we don't take care of our customer somebody else will" and "There's no I in team." A lot of it is about how commuting is very comparable to having your soul sucked out through a straw and it even touches on the cycular nature of life and shallowness of popular culture... Or not.

    Lyrics
    I should have known when I woke up that day
    That everything was on the verge of change
    I was approaching the cliff of an uncertain future
    But it didn't look so steep

    Plagued by thoughts too deep
    Drowning in the shallowness of the billboards around me
    Drowning in my car
    Predictability can only take you so far

    Day in and day out
    I've traveled this road so many times
    I could drive it with my eyes closed
    So I might as well
    Week in and week out
    There's no escaping this 9 to 5
    I'm burning away in this vehicular hell
    But can you even tell

    I should have known when I slammed my car door
    That everything was on the verge of staying the same
    I was approaching the stop sign of impending doom
    But I was falling asleep

    It was time for a leap
    Of faith or the next closest thing on sale that week
    Dying in my car
    Accountability should only take you so far

    And I can't tell
    Where you end and I begin in this sea of cars
    And as far as I can tell
    We're not important and we never will be
    And life is saying oh well
