Story Behind The Song

I wrote this after sitting and thinking for way too long one day. Just going over some of what I have done in the past and how many stupid decisions I have made. Seems like everytime I step forward, I step in shit. Theres a line in this that pretty much sums the whole thing up to me "your big in certain circles, funny how no body knows youre name". There is this small group of friends that I have that think I am something. But outside of that. I am not. Nobody knows my name. Nothing to lose is what I have. And every reason in the world to push my luck and forge onward and try to make something of myself.

Song Description

song written to myself. very angry and scornful. uptempo.

Lyrics

you try to time it right but
you keep on stepping in shit
you think your something special
but you can't seem to make things fit
not even a little bit
can't tame the voices in your head
and your runnin with the dead
handing you choices but you just can't choose
what are you gonna do?
youve got nothing to lose
your big in certain circles
funny how nobody knows your name
you strut your silver lining
but time will never see you rain
it's just a lot of thunder
it keeps you from going insane
finding someone else to blame
it's all just one big waste of time
but I'll tell you what's on my mind
youve go nothing to lose
nothing to lose
lead:
youve got nothing to lose
you lay awake at night and you sleep all day
just waiting for something to come your way
your pointing your fingers and fucking your friends
already starting over fore you even begin
your scratching at the walls trying to climb from the hole
with no sense of direction and youve lost all controll
youve got nothing for your troubles and something to prove
youve got nothing
youve got nothing
