This track is written in the style of The Lawrence Arms. Listen to their songs "Great Lakes, Great Escapes" and "There's No Place Like a Stranger's Floor" and you'll understand... This track also references the feel of "Boatless Booze Cruise Part 1," "The Devil's Takin' Names," and "Hey, What Time is 'Pensacola: Wings of Gold' On, Anyway?" (Go listen to them! Great songs, great punk band!)
lyrics
I remember like yesterday when you put me in my place
With my hands upon your backside and your soul upon my face
You reminded me just what it felt like to never be alone
Then you shot me to my deathbed with the collar on the phone
I'm going home...
What am I left with when I'm running out of hope
I'm gunning out of options, grasping every wretched rope
My deepest downs are pulling to my utter pit of shame
And when I've reached the bottom will I even know my name?
Just when I think I'm at my worst
An angelic savior vampire comes to wet her demon thirst
But I'm a man, I can change, and I can feel, tho it's strange,
There's some good things 'round the corner and I'm piloting this train
Though I've nothing much to live for, I've got a lot to live
And it should go without saying I've a lot of love to give
So here's the plan:
I'll make myself a man,
I'll conquer all my fears
I'll take you by the hand
In six months to a year...
So what of skill and talent when the presentation's shot
When band is made of nothing and is passed out on the lot
The cloak-and-dagger drum line does a stunning spinnerette
And everybody ever's watching, but no one gives a sh-
Just when I think I'm at my worst
An angelic savior vampire comes to quench her demon thirst
But I'm a man, I can change, and I can feel, tho it's strange,
There's some good things 'round the corner and I'm piloting this train
Though I've nothing much to live for, I've got a lot to live
And it should go without saying I've a lot of love to give
So here's the plan:
I'll make myself a man,
I'll conquer all my fears
I'll take you by the hand
IN SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR...
But Stop: Reality Check, it's all a foolish dream
I've got a self-tied noose around my neck, with sulfur in the seams
It's a daily battle just to live, a war I cannot win
And all I've really got to give is all I've ever been
so tell me what you see...
Once truth has set us free...
DO YOU SEE ME?
DO YOU SEE ME?
DO YOU SEE ME?
DO YOU SEE ME?

Found these guys via a Facebook ad. Nice blend of industrial, goth, pop-rock, synth, and a taste of punk. Think of Nine Inch Nails mixed with A.F.I., with a smattering of Depeche Mode and MCR :) eddielagato
It's his earliest work, but probably my favorite, since it introduced me to his wonderful work. Electronic progressive metal at its finest, has some crazy riffs... Check out his other stuff too. :) eddielagato
