about

This track was originally called "Maudlin" and had a completely different set of lyrics that I really wasn't happy with. A complete rewrite was in order.

lyrics

There comes a day when you discover
you've been creating someone else's wealth
and you're left hoping to recover
the tattered remnants of your health

Just walk out the door
or slowly go insane
seems like that's the choice you have to make
Once you know the score
you won't get trapped again;
nice sentiment, but we both know it's fake

Those times When you were ill, but still got called in?
A 'strong work ethic' is a con
Your boss won't waste his time in being maudlin
His company will still go marching on

Each time you experience a blip in your career
They act contrite, and offer you support
But from the fact that you have not run screaming out of here
They know without a doubt that you are caught

Chris Harris Bristol, UK

I'm still trying to get the music I record to sound like the version I can hear in my head. To do this I've ended up playing every instrument I can get my hands on. These days, I'm closer to "That Sound" than I used to be, but the journey continues.
