	Story Behind the Song This song just sort of happened. I wrote it in about 30 minutes, start to finish, and recorded it a couple months later on my Tascam 424MkII. Piped it into the computer, and here's what I have at the end. Lyrics I've given up on giving up, and the sacred Zen of apathy I must get up, get out, away from here Or I'll never forgive myself, and all I've become If it stood before me in all its unearthly beauty Would I know the face Would I turn my back and walk the other way All around the world seems to crumble and people sell themselves out For little, if any, purpose or gain I'm forced to wonder if there's any hope left to be had If it sat before me in radiant splendor Would I have the faith to taouch it Would I turn my back and walk the other way The better it gets the worse I feel, and the fall seems that much further And all this expectation without direction I never equipped myself to handle All the candidates, contestants, and contenders take a piece And all I know confounds me How many years have I been waiting, been searching for the cure And all this life surrounds me And if you stood before me understanding, understated, unadorned Would I recognize the moment Or would I simply turn my back and walk the other way
