	This is just a song about how you feel. We all been in the position to feel a little bit out of control...this song just identifies that as a valid emotion.

	Story Behind the Song My wife left the apartment for about 3 hours and I wrote this song. I had lots of coffee that morning and was feeling a little bit nutty...so I wrote some lyrics. The lyrics seemed to fit pretty well with a Middle Eastern Based Melody I was working with....and thus, the song - Not an interesting story, but I think it spawned a pretty decent song...to tell you the truth, I think the song is about my frustration in not being able to write a decent song. I ALWAYS paint myself into a corner, limiting myself from writing anything that is meaningful - So with this song I just started writing...I think that some of that frustration manifested itself in some of the lyrics...just not very poetically; oh well. Lyrics I can't paint myself a melody to change my view on life can't remember the last time I could say it was inspired. This will go wrong It must go wrong This time there is no excuse Anymore of painting myself into a corner from I won't turn I'm grasping at straws In a time when I don't know if I could be insane You push me away and I want to know Have I been wrong? Second guess my words to speak I don't want you to tell me just how you think I should feel... Can't adhere to this mindset... that reduces me to tears. I'm grasping at straws In a time when I don't know if I could be insane You push me away and I want to know Have I been wrong? Trust is gone Faith is gone No more Can We, Speak of Truth love or life... I'm grasping at straws In a time when I don't know if I could be insane You push me away and I want to know Have I been wrong? I'm grasping at straws In a time when I don't know if I could be insane You push me away and I want to know Have I been wrong?
