Story Behind The Song
I think the song really says it all - I was awake at 4am working on lyrics, over caffeinated, smoking too many cigarettes, frustrated with my lack of originality, questioning the whole idea of originality, and determined to work through it.

Lyrics
Standing on the edge but holding out
To see that all worth holding has been saved
Cold caffeine to see me through
Another blurry line between last night and this morning
To invent
To transcend the everyday
Its all been beaten lying lifeless in the grave
A chain of thought filling the ashtray
In another 4am whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
Up and down the roads we've paved
Where getting closer seems like drifting further away
Searching for a deeper shade
Stuck on a blurry line between last night and this morning
Its nothing new
Its all been done
To invent
To transcend the everyday
Its all been beaten lying lifeless in the grave
A chain of thought filling the ashtray
In another 4am whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
