Story Behind The Song
I have to explain the noise in the front because of how out of context it is. All the songs on our debut album are linked and entertwined with things like that, and classical pieces, and cleared movie samples...like an old floyd record. We like the idea of making an album for the albums sake. I know it is not a very mainstream or financially smart direction to lead a band but we all felt it and it really does make sense for the songs in a long play situation. Ok now thats out of the way, I used to sell t-shirts for country singers on the road. I did this for five years, from 17 to 22. Loved it at first but really got tired of the music never changing and the audiences seeming dissappointed. I went through a major life change in schedule, work ethic, and social patterns of behavior when I decided to stay home and alot of these metaphors in this song reflect as much as I would let them that turn in events.
Song Description
This song is very personal to me and I don't always like to do songs like that because I end up being so critical I never finish one. Maybe for that reason I was not a fan of this tune and just figured that no one would get it. The other guys in the band played along with me one night before a rehearsel and we worked it up that night and it just kinda stuck with us.

Lyrics
Turn it upside down
let them fall around
they are only pieces to me.
For once not afraid
its only another day
I love this place...
But Not Enough To Stay
I keep my head up high
and I close my eyes
waiting for the anvil
to fall from the skies.
I can't sleep anymore
so I don't even try
and I hate the way
I think on things sometimes
But Not Enough to Change.
