| Lyrics: | Now we’ve really done it We should have seen it coming (as) soon as we felt the heat, We should’ve started runnin’ But you’re not one to give up And I’m not one to give in, And we came in Guns hot, head cocked, fists up, eyes shut Crying screaming kicking bleeding, it don’t matter what we’re feeling Neither one is letting it go I cant help but feel this doubt We might never work this out And everything is fine until we lose control In the dark of the night We were never gonna win that fight We came in crazy, angry, kicking down the doors. In the thick of the rage, both of us screaming in pain. It don’t matter what we’re fighting for There’s no such thing as a civil war I can hit the hardest But you can be so heartless Been fighting for so long, We don’t know how it started Diggin’ our heels to the ground, we’re not backing down And we came in PC CH How’d we let it get this bad We’re not waving any white flags What’s it gonna take for us to let this go?

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
