about

A new version of the song that reignited our careers featuring social media fiddle prodigy Philip Bowen on the strings. The original song was inspired by thoughts of quitting music for good, as I (Ed) had been told in no uncertain terms by a major label talent scout that we just didn't have that "it" they were looking for. Also they said our music was too slow, too sad, and too raw for modern audiences. The irony was that Universal seemed to disagree as this song made them sign us to their development label a year later.

lyrics

oh the years have not been kind,
they rush away just like sand,
That has been caught up in a stream,
and now the silence I can’t stand,
But I can’t seem to break it,
I always hoped that there was more,
I open my mouth, but it’s just noise,
No I don’t sing anymore

Oh the paper it just lays there,
In a neat unblemished square,
Though it’s had so many words,
It seems the author didn’t care,
Cuz those words went up in flames,
Writing them down felt like a chore,
That pen itt weighs a thousand tons,
No I don’t write anymore

Oh the wind used to feel cold,
And the sunshine hot as hell,
But now it all feels like a blur,
Now I cannot seem to tell,
Maybe the light is all outside,
But years ago I closed the door,
Seems I cannot find the knob,
No I don’t feel it anymore

Oh the world seems to have lost me,
Or maybe I just lost the world,
It don’t listen to me these days,
And I can’t catch the stones it hurls,
Maybe it’s got nothing else to show,
Just the sex, the blood, the gore,
Used to think that it was more,
No I don’t know anymore
No I don't know anymore
No I don't know anymore
