about

This was our first attempt at an acoustic show back in the end of 2005. We initially did two shows like this at The Creepy Crawl to experiment before working on many demos that we started to record and then followed by an all acoustic album later on. Along with Mike Viner (Guitar/Vox) and Chris Davis (Vox) was Greg McNeely also on guitar. He was a part of the group for awhile when we were trying to re-establish ourselves. The audio was extracted from video footage taken from Fat Dog Films.

lyrics

Lyrics written by Chris Davis.

*Lyrics: I'm anxious, so let's get with it, don't bite down, just grin and bear this, You place a breathing-apparatus on my face, the last I remembered, I heard you call my name, I just can't stand the pain (I feel it) The memory is ingrained (I just can't stand the pain) You're driving me insane (The memory is ingrained) Now I may seem deranged (Give me some novocain) And now I ask of you, (Can you feel it too?) Can you feel this to? (And now I ask of you) I just can't stand the pain (I feel it) Give me some novocain, I'm nauseous, so please take note of this, Don't slow down, I need this over with, you take a thirty-minute break on my time, the least you could do is to tell me, "you'll be just fine" *Repeat chorus (Reprise) Give me something to take for the pain, give me novocain, I just can't stand the pain.

*Synopsis: I used the fear of going to the dentist as a metaphor for life. If you take the time to read the lyrics posted on our player you will pick this idea up. The idea came to me to use an anology for a song while watching Disney's 'Fantasia', believe it or not. I had a very vivid memory that sort of bothered me of getting all my wisdom teeth removed.
