| Lyrics: | I can't explain what I'm still doing here Lost in confusion for many years Could be physical or maybe in my head But I'll never know, I'm too scared to go and see what's wrong I don't want to feel this way anymore I can hardly pick myself up off the floor I want to go back to the start The way things were before they fell apart, oh When I leave this place behind I won't turn my head to see Where I've been before when all it's brought is misery Things won't always be this way I'm still young and I've got time To change the things that I can't stand about myself Things are looking blacker every day Voices outside my door won't keep away Black mold festering beneath the sheets Garbage on the floor beside my feet, oh When I leave this place behind I won't turn my head to see Where I've been before when all it's brought is misery Things won't always be this way I'm still young and I've got time To change the things that I can't stand about myself I just can't stand myself When I think about you It gives me hope Cause when you left, you left for good and never looked back What it must be like to be like that |

Zoo Pilot is a newly formed indie rock band based in Austin, TX. Comprised of former members of Sleep Station (Eyeball Records), Zoo Pilot combines the classic sounds of bands like the Beatles, Kinks and Zombies with modern indie-rock sensibilities to create a unique, timeless sound.
With Brad Paxton handling vocals and guitar and Josh Nichols on bass and drums, the group looks forward to bringing their diverse sound and often left-of-center lyrical themes to the many music fans of Austin and beyond.
They have lent their compositional and production talents to a number of television shows, including CBS's Cold Case, American Idol Rewind and the Showtime series Shameless. They record and mix their songs at Brad's home studio in South Austin.
