I’ve got a sentimental set of excuses, I’m gonna use ‘em alright. It takes a certain kind of social recluse to stay in bed on a friday night. But I won’t lie down, I’ll take the pain and I’ll set it free. I won’t lie down, not trying to be who you see in me. Better odds await the faint of heart. I’ve got a new disaster to start. I’m gonna make my day. Way too deep to cash out now. Upside down & inside out. I never knew it was not okay. It’s a neverender. It takes a certain kind of burning contention to make you listen to me. It takes believing that you really can get there, to justify what you cannot see. I took a year of pain and I hid it away from you. What’s a kid with a broken heart and a fistful of dreams to do? It’s a neverender with constant reminders of why I could never move on. Looking back it’s like I never saw the signs...



Behind the Song:
“Aaron had this music as a skeleton of a song, but no chorus. I started messing with some chorus ideas, and once I started with this one, I knew we were getting somewhere. The epic ending of the song was something we had never attempted before. So in pre-production we started referring to this song as the "black sheep" of the album. I'm glad we recorded it; it is a fun live song. People either LOVE it or HATE it, which I think is a beautiful thing. Music should never be in-between. If it is, it's too safe and probably not sincere. Lyrically, believe it or not, lyrically this song and "These Are My Dreams" are the same subject matter even though they the polar opposites musically." - Daniel Castady (The Fold)
