This is unmixed, and has a horrific percussion error! But nevermind, it's one of my best lyrics to date, and sums up the whole album.
Okay, so this is a bit of an experiment. This does not mean that the songs are crap! Just that I've used the time recording on my own to test out vocals, styles of songwriting and recording, and so forth. It's worked pretty successfully I think!

Story behind the song
This is a song about bitterness (towards place, not person). I wanted to evoke the song 'drive' by REM; I think it works quite nicely. And for the lyric as a whole? - 'take that phoney dream and burn it before something happens...' Mr. Arthur Miller puts it rather well.
Lyrics
This decay Shambolic life Thinking it will never die Instinct takes me to the other side Now drive With shallow charm And courtesey Instinct says that you're no good for me Reason hides behind my apathy Meaning? There's no meaning in this dream Black joke A gripping life Desperation taking up my time Tell you that your culture is a crime Now drive Polite affection Your freedom flies Instinct takes me to the other side Instinct forces me to step inside Can't cross the street Can't turn a page Can't stop the fear Can't numb the pain
