about

I made the bulk of this track fifteen years ago. It took me fifteen years to figure out how to tell this story. I even enlisted heavy hitters to help me. Thank you!

lyrics

He was mostly at war with himself
In all his thoughts, all his plans
Unaware he denied himself
The only way to escape the pattern of his life
Was to drive, drive, drive

She was mostly unsure of herself
Deserted thoughts, forgotten plans
She stored high on a dusty shelf
Everyday was a solitary fight
Just to stay alive

You make no sense
There is no defense
At what expense

Don’t take that drink, you don’t need one more
Just stop and think, the view from down there on the floor
Don’t take that drink, you’ve been wrong before
Just stop and think, who you’re fighting for

Another day obscuring herself
Though she worked to the bone
She never seemed to gather wealth
A distant dream of another working life
Just from nine to five

Another day ignoring himself
Take a break and relax
One last toast to your happy health
The wrong voice, you’ve given up your choice
Just to drive, drive, drive

You make no sense
There is no defense
At what expense
Just walk away
Try another day
This makes no sense
There is no defense
At whose expense

Don’t take that drink, you don’t need one more
Just stop and think, the view from down there on the floor
Don’t take that drink, you’ve been wrong before
Just stop and think, who you’re fighting for
Who you’re fighting for
