Song Information:

This is a songwriting experiment. I midied out drums first, so that's the genesis of the song, then did the basses, then the keys, then the vocals, etc. Usually the lyrics are my starting point, this time they came last. I am working towards a whole album of songs written this way (or maybe just an ep, it's hard to write like this!), but so far the only other thing I have up that is from this collection is "Rise Up". I do have two other songs from this cycle in the pipe at the moment, and they will be up by the end of the month, I hope!

Thanks for listening!

Song Lyrics:

When I get up in the morning
Sun shines through my window
In the distance I hear sirens
But they're not coming here, though
Just another one in trouble
Just another life on the line
Just another statistic
But I just don't have the time.

No time for a life on the line
Oh no no no no no no

Need my information fix
Where's my human interest?
Give me bright shiny factoids
Give me fear I can't place
Give me thoughts in a tin cup
Give me ten years of bad luck
Give me things I can use up
But just don't give me time.

No time for a life on the line.
Oh no no no no no no

I will obey my instincts
Believe in safety in numbers
I don't think about the future
'Cause I just don't have the time

No time for a life on the line
oh no no no no no no
