    Story Behind the Song
    When brandon heard about the man in new york who was visiting this country and because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, he lost his life. He wrote the song in the first person. Was the man thinking of a love he was never going to see again? How did he feel? Was his life a waste?
    It took Brandon 6 hours to record the song from the time he arrived with his instruments at the studio until he took the cd home with him.He had worked on it at home before going, but still, 6 hours is pretty quick for drums, guitar, piano, bass, and vocals all recorded on top of a click track. I think he knocked it out quickly not because he is fast but because this time he had to pay for the studio time.

    Lyrics
    shot 41 times and it ain't no crime.
    Guess my baby, she's sleeping alone tonight.
    Lying in a pool,saw the writing on the wall
    Babylon must fall.

    They make martyrs out of marble
    They make cowards out of clay
    Don't know what I am made of today
    Can't forget the scent
    Never insignificant

    For every life wasted there are two to replace it.
    But i still see red on these walls.
    My heart is on fire,my body is tired.
    I fall

    So tired
    On fire
    So tired

    The sparks, the lights, the fire, confusion.
    We can control ,our own evolution.
    We gotta stop this institution.
    Lying here i"m just a teenage junkie mothers' abortion.
    Trying to count all the fish in the ocean.
    This is for all the victims forgotten.

    I remember how her lips would intoxicate me.
    Oh, how her smile could resurrect me.
    The light would caress her face.
    An angel in a holy place.

    All that is gone now.
    Still the last thing i see is the light that shines from her eyes.
    My heart is on fire,from that desire.
    I fly.

    So tired
    On fire
    So tired

    The sparks, the lights, the fire, confusion.
    We can control our own evolution.
    We gotta stop this institution.

    Lying here i'm just a teenage junkie, mothers' abortion.
    Trying to count all the fish in the ocean.
    This is for all the victims forgotten.

    I don't know when Armageddon is coming.
    Lying here i see the galaxy turning.
    All i know, is my baby sleeps alone tonight.
