This song was written by Waiting For Eternity and Sahaj Ticotin and was produced by Sahaj Ticotin.
The killer opening bass line was recorded at home by bass player, Tony Cook and was so cool that we just sampled that from his home recording and wrote the rest of the song around it.
This song is about never giving up no matter how many times you get knocked down and the struggle of allowing someone to help when you need it.
lyrics
You cut me straight to the bone.
Why can't you leave this alone?
I've kept it all inside, building up, 'bout to explode.
This feeling burns deep inside, it's getting harder to hide.
And now it's building up, burning up.
I don't want to tear your heart out,
and be the one who breaks you into pieces,
who makes you hard and cold.
'Bout to lose control so please don't let me go,
I'm barely holding on so, please don't push me over.
Overwhelmed and tired, worn thin with no desire.
Well, I've lost it, I'm punching these walls.
How did we end up here?
'Cause this weight on my shoulders is dealing a blow.
Just want to find a way, I cannot do this on my own.
Well, I've been thinking about, the things that I should have done.
I've never given up, won't stay down.
I've given all I have inside me,
Now I am tired and broken through and through
Been crushed my will is gone.
'Bout to lose control so please don't let me go,
I'm barely holding on so, please don't push me over.
Overwhelmed and tired, worn thin with no desire.
Well, I've lost it, I'm punching these walls.
How did we end up here?
'Cause this weight on my shoulders is dealing a blow.
Just want to find a way, I cannot do this on my own.
I've never given up, but I have let you down.
I'm down so low right now.
My teeth get kicked in and I get knocked to the ground.
Pick myself up again.
Well, I've lost it, I'm punching these walls.
How did we end up here?
'Cause this weight on my shoulders is dealing a blow.
Just want to find a way, I cannot do this.
Yes, I've lost it, I'm out of control.
Please help me out of here.
Well, I'm bending and breaking and losing it all.
Please help me find a way, no longer doing this on my own.

Our songs are about getting through
hard times, learning who we are (or are not), finding strength to push on, growing stronger in hard times, learning that you are never truly alone and to encourage and lead others to the truth that there is HOPE and something better to be found on the other side of struggle,frustration,defeat,failure,pain and loss....more
