    Story Behind the Song
    this is not the way this song sounds in my head at all...but it'll do as a demo. In my head it isn't nearly as chunky. I wanted it to be primarily accoustic guitar, with a very organic, real sound...but for some reason I can't get the acc. guitar to sound accoustic enough. Gotta do some research and find out the proper way of recording accoustic.
    When this song is done, it will be organic, as I said, with a jittery tempo (that part comes through on the demo pretty well) that accelerates slightly all through the song...the idea behind that is the beeping heart monitor next to a dying man's hospital bed. If I ever find a sample of the 'flat line' I will put it at the end. I would ideally like to find a lot of real percussion and distort it all slightly (slightly -- not totally crunched-out like in the demo) along with various machine noises to represent technology; the idea being that humanity's undelying goal in everything we do is to conquer death, and that most of our technology was, in some way or another, invented to serve in that struggle. Also, the parts where I'm singing falsetto really should be a female vocalist, but I haven't had one of those in years, and there isn't (but there should be) a listing in the Yellow Pages for 'em.
    Ah, hell...just listen to the damn thing.
    Look for other favorite themes such as: the nonexistence of deity, hardship, the guilt of having made wrong decisions, and finally acceptance--which I hope, in my final moment, I have the dignity to embrace, and sing out loud, "it's time to go now."

    Lyrics
    it's time to go now
    and there's nothing we can do to change
    and besides, it's only for a little while
    ...(some would say)

    it's easy if you try
    just softly close your eyes and breathe
    take it all in stride
    put your trust in neither god nor me

    don't cry, don't cry now baby
    i know just how you feel
    but there's no room for sadness
    in things that are not real

    you always used to say
    you could discern what they were wrong about
    but all along you stayed on your knees
    underneath the one you should've done without

    i guess the water seems rough right now
    i guess it always has
    but you can almost see a soft patch ahead
    so keep on keeping on

    "but why?! there's no real point
    and my stomach hurts so bad
    I can breathe...I breathe for no real reason at all"

    it's easier than you think
    you have done this a thousand times
    it's not all that hard to free yourself
    it's not all that hard to sing out loud
    it's time to go now
    and there's nothing we can do to change
    and though I'll miss you greatly
    I will take it all in stride
