Story Behind The Song
The bass riff was mouthed to spencer (bass) and zack (guitar) by conor (drums) who had the groove in his head. We played the song as an instrumental for about 6 months, but I (zack) never felt any lyrical connection till one day, like a light switch the lyrics came, as i was driving, so i had to swerve around as i wrote the lyrics down on the steering wheel.
Song Description
when it's raining outside, you sleep in, can't get out of bed not because of any illness, just out of lack of excitement, and consumed by indifference.

Lyrics
(verse 1)
woke up this morning
the sun was rising the day was dawning
without a warning
the depth of my soul cried out and kept calling
fill me up it said, fill me up it cried
couldn't put a smile on my face if i tried
tried lotion to loosen up my skin
i tried to think a happy thought but where do i begin?
(chorus)
my happy tank's on empty need to fill it up
if yours runneth over get some in my cup
get some in my cup
(verse 2)
i took a long shower but couldn't get it goin
still, stepped out the door just to get the things flowin
an undertow is pullin me, don't know what it is
got hella thirsty but there's nothing in the fridge
the clock's tickin the days are slippin
can't get my eyes to open why am I always trippin'
i tried to use cold water to tighten up my skin
i tried to think a happy thought but where do i begin?
