Story Behind The Song
The hook came to us..."I've got no answers at all" and it made musical and logical sense to have the verses be a series of questions. All based on an f'd up relationship...like all good rock music.
Song Description
This is a song about having to deal with the pressures and questions that are all around you when you are going through a crisis. This is the breaking point and the self-admission that one simply does not have the answers.

Lyrics
Who are you, who am I, what are we, can we try'
I got no answers at all
How could you, why can't I, why did you, and still
I got no answers at all
I do not have time to fumble, I do not have time to fall
And I do not need the answers to the meaning of it all
I won't take what I'm not given, I will love what I receive
I am only trying to live and I am asking...please don't leave
Where did we, how could I, and should we don't ask why
I got no answers at all
And if you, and then you, then will you, I tell you
I got no answers at all
And my back feels like it's breaking and my bones are tired and sore
And the lines upon my face don't lead to wisdom anymore
I won't take what I'm not given, I will love what I receive
I am only trying to live and
I am asking...please don't leave
All I am is what I'm left with, nothing more than what you see
No new confession, no defense, no other truth but me
I do not have time to fumble, I do not have time to fall
And I do not need to answers to the meaning of it all
I won't take what I'm not given, I will love what I receive
I am only trying to live and I am asking...please don't leave
