	The first song I recorded with my home studio.

	Story Behind the Song I waited in my apartment for 6 days in a row expecting my new G4 Power Mac to arrive. I had already purchased my Pro-Tools LE and Digi 101, and couldn't wait to get my studio going. But UPS took a week longer than they said they would. Obviously I had a lot of time on my hands, and I think I wrote about 5 songs that week. This is the first one I wanted to record. Lyrics I'm the extra on the screen in the background in between hundreds in the scene Sometimes I can't be seen sometimes it's where I've been that keeps me on my feet But don't get me wrong I'd love to shine still know I'll get those lines given a little more time i'm the alligator without teeth i'm the dust that nevers breathes i'm the message in a bottle out to sea that nobody reads I'm the book stacked on the shelf pages kept to myself a plot like any else A story that's been read with words already said out of print and make-pretend Just one in a library one with ABC's and not a novelty (chorus) I won't lie to you, I won't cry to you I'll always try to be true to you Even when the darkness shuts my eyes (chorus)
