    Story Behind the Song
    Hmmm this song is about the media and how they glorify all that is wrong with the world showing it again and again, slowly turning us into a desensitized shell of the human beings we once were... took only a few days to record... the vocals took about 4 takes... Sledge nailed the bass line in 2 takes... just because he is the modern day JACO

    Lyrics
    Here's a volatile medium for the high strung media frenzy
    Now there's a strain of irony here in the air lingering Stagnant
    While we're pawning the values to equal out the scales of reputable motion
    While were all playing dead in the streets with desensitized emotions

    Wake up and your waist deep in disbelief
    We're fighting to keep our head above water don't breathe

    Embracing the moments slipping away under all we've lost out in the waves
    Now there's the strands of piracy here in the air lingering stagnant
    the disconnected now inside the bare flank of innocence they'll never let go
    turning us into the wasteland of a people that I don't want to know
    I don't know

    Wake up and your waist deep in disbelief
    We're fighting to keep our head above water Don't breathe

    the time will come when its time to pay
    is the loss outweighed by what is gained?
    when the skin peels off in burning flakes
    and you find you lost out in the trade...
    the backstab never will feel the same
    is the loss outweighted by what is gained?
    when there's no clean air only acid rain
    is the loss out weighed by what is gained?
    off now off now turn it off

    Creeping into the flesh as you succumb to the parasite leading the way
    The offensive threat that penetrated inside the veins and you cannot escape
    wrapped in metal and wound uptight the cables inside this reactive convulsion
    While we're still playing dead in the streets the product of your dysfunction

    Wake up and your waist deep in disbelief
    We're fighting to keep our head above water Don't breathe
    Wake up and your waist deep in disbelief
    We're fighting to keep our head above water
    Just set me Free...
