about

I was already working on the other tracks for this EP when I stumbled upon an old cassette demo of this song from circa 2002. It was a simple synchronicity. I’d moved into a small apartment in Wellington. I had a bunch of old cassettes that were taking up space. I decided to listen to them before I threw them out just in case there was something good on them. On one of them I found this old demo I’d completely forgotten about. Unlike the preceding version this is a rework and remix of this song with the original demo completely replaced.

lyrics

You gotta take the breaks
You gotta know when to walk away
You gotta find a way
To live to fight another day

So when the feeling goes
And you know that the bullshit shows

You gotta face the truth
You know that lies are just no use
Face the knowledge, taste the bitter pill
How can you hurt someone you wish no ill

You know that passions craved
Will lead you to an early grave

You gotta take the breaks
You gotta know when to walk away
You gotta find a way
To live to dream another day

You gotta face the truth
You know that lies are just no use
Face the knowledge, taste the bitter pill
How can you hurt someone you wish no ill
