about

This is the album versoin, now in Drop A, from the record "Moments Greater Than You or I". We spent so long arguing over the title for the record and no one could come up with a good one, everything we threw out was terrible, and one day at practice I was bitching about it and our friend Tim Seib was hanging around, grabs a lyric sheet, reads for a few minutes and goes "Moments greater than you or I". I could have slapped him I was so pissed he made it that simple. He just shrugged his shoulders, threw down the lyric sheet and sat back down in his spot.

lyrics

I am slowly realizing that I am no one.
I feel as if my significance in others lives is all but gone (as if it was there.)
I always walked the path I felt with my heart.
I am nothing. I am a hypocrite. I am a liar.
The pressures of living
and the pressures of being alive
deteriorate (within myself i am laughing.)
I move in moments.
Moments.
Greater
than
you
or
I.
Time has shown to heal most everything.
But being plagued by the shells of old ghosts
has made me tired. I grow
tired of the prodding feeling of burying the insides of disease.
My faith stands. Brittle and cold.
The feeling of hearing my last breath exit my lungs
and the cries come from all who care so dearly.
I am sorry. My time is not now
but i have stolen the clock.
I have no desire to wind it again.
I pass through you like a ghost
with no beginning or with no ending.
I have seen the despair. I am despair.
