Story Behind the Song
On a band dinner-run to Pizza HutŪ, we found ourselves under the care of a waitress named Sarah. Was asked if we could have our pizza for free but she said that it was out of her control and that she would have to pay for the pizza if she gave it to us for free. That was the inspiration for Roxanne DeWater. However, the song morphed into the story of a character very different from Sarah, the Pizza HutŪ waitress. So we named it after a water bottle found at a supermarket in the remote desert between Tucson, AZ and Los Angeles, CA.
Lyrics
If I had a dollar for every time that I met you
Or someone like you, acts like you, thinks like you.
I would never find any need for such things as
Working, or labor, or sweating, or bleeding.
You torture me, when I dream, it would seem
That your
Evils permeate me, seep though me, surround me.
I can't help regretting the things you did to me.
Concentric circles of anger within me.
You tore me open and filled me with envy.
(Chorus)
You and I could succeed but then you pushed me out for another.
Then
Someone came to me, a light in the darkness,
Lifted me out of the pain I couldn't harness.
You were so different than the world adjacent,
Allowed my dark feelings to lie deeply latent.
Apparently, I can see, without seams
You torture me, when I dream, it would seem
That you
(Chorus)
