    Story Behind the Song
    This was written shortly after 9/11 and although it doesn't really have a lot to do with the events of that day, I think it set the mood for the beginning of the song. The song ends on a much happier note and I think subconsiously I was searching for some hope in the grander scheme of things.

    Lyrics
    Wasting away ever since I was a young man
    Still hate the thought of being called a wise man
    Taking for granted every thing that I have
    Cup is running over, fill it up and get a bigger glass

    What is it that you can do for me
    Is this the only thing that I see
    This loneliness is easy to control
    With the poisons that I’m pouring, pouring do to swallow my soul

    (Chorus)
    ‘Cause I am the biggest coward of the century
    And I am the one who’s lost his faith in everything
    But I am only one of a million
    And you can find me by the ocean singing songs of hopelessness and pain
    Come find me by the ocean, I’ll sing you songs of hopelessness and pain

    Fighting fire with fire, is the only thing I ever learned
    To be a bigger man, I’ll slowly cut you down to size
    Taking time for granted, I bet I’ll live to be one hundred

    Why is it that you can only see
    The loneliness that’s just a part of me
    But Slowly I am starting to control
    The demons that are waiting pulling at the bottom of my soul

    (Repeat Chorus)

    Slowly strip away the skins of violence past
    Searching for a passage cause I don’t know how long I’ll last
    Suddenly remember, a word comes from above
    The only thing that matters is love
    And I stare out past the ocean into the eyes of hope that fill me up with love

    Now I am the greatest giver of the century
    And I am the one who fell in love with everything
    But I am only one of a million
    And you can find me by the ocean, singing songs of laughter in the rain
    Come find me by the ocean, I’ll sing you songs of laughter in the rain

    And I stare out past the ocean into the eyes of hope that fill me up with love
