Feed the muse. Feed the muse. Somewhere, deep inside most musicians, there's this pesky alter-ego, with big ears, and a creative energy, who's constantly pestering you to listen to something, to play, write and record. Anything for another fix of that aural drug we call "music." For many of us, life is busy enough without these visits. And yet, we succumb to this pusher of ear candy, auditory joy juice, sonic ecstacy. You'd hawk your mother for another CD, jam session, digital multi-track plug in. You work harder and harder, just so you can feed the habit. And that's when you realize..."work is what I do; music is who I am."

Story behind the song
The project I did this year was meant to be an angst-y hard rock CD, and this track worked out well to capture the feeling of being on an emotional brink, as one is trying to work out conflict and self doubt. The other unique thing about this song, and most of the CD, was that it was written from the drum track up - I recorded the entire drum track without knowing what the song was going to be - then built a song around it. Very cool creative songwriting tool that I would like to try again sometime.
Lyrics
Brink See me all alone at night, holding back the urge to fight All the things you've done to me, and all the things I want to be. Cluttering my mind, trying hard to find, A way to block the pain, think I'll go insane. Why do I even think, when I'm so close to the brink, Help me find the way to hide, from the demons locked inside. Plaguing me with doubt, help me get them out Never let me sleep, tell me am in too deep? Tell me what is going on, am I really too far gone Am I going to lose my mind, tell me if I've got more time Cluttering my mind, trying hard to find, A way to block the pain, think I'll go insane. Tell me what I've got to do, I know you have made it through All this time I'm spending lost, trapped inside this horrid box. Oooh, what is going on, ooh am I too far gone Oooh Gonna lose my mind, ooh got more time? Oh, help me turn it off ....
