Story Behind the Song
this song was written a couple years ago, and for whatever reason, put on the shelf, and forgotten until spring of 2002 when jake [bass player] brings it up in a conversation. so we revive it, and poof, there it is.
it's about the choices that need be made, about listening to reason or turning a deaf ear, about fighting for oneself or putting your 'weapons' down and running away. main point is 'choice'
Lyrics
a listless whisper comes to me, what's it saying ,contemplating.
should one listen or turn away, pay attention, with apprehention.
what goes wrong seems to stay, when nothing changes, it re-arranges.
don't run away.
a doubting feeling this way comes.
without warning, it numbs.
no thoughts to process i medicate...my system, is it too late...is it too late?
don't run away.
i melt down, i get torn down, i get pushed around.
i can see it, yes i feel it. can i beat it.
i feel the scirmage from within.
like controlled plastic army men.
the green and tan v.s. good and bad.
they fight for everything, i have.
i may be young but the race is on.
so they tell me, don't count me out. don't count me out.
don't run away.
i melt down , i get torn down, i get pushed around.-
