  • comatose.

    some people have been asking, what's the deal with take today? are you guys playing anytime soon? etc etc. so here's the quick run down of the situation. back in june 2006 we played our last show before deciding to take the summer off. we were all in crazy situations and felt it was best to relax and get caught up in life. at the end of the summer we started rehearsing in prep for our ep. before we hit the studio, dan felt he was no longer able to continue forward with us. also at the time, eric had started a new job that required crazy hours from him, and being fresh to the band, previously decided to have us take care of his parts. so by the time we had finished all of the tracking and mixing for the ep, we kind of called it quits. still living hectic lives, there has always been talk about getting in gear and picking things back up. however, a few problems are present. our schedules are completely whacked out and we're somewhat looking to fill in some new and old positions in the band. at the start of 2008, an older song of ours was completely redone and tracked but has still yet to be mixed and whatnot. there are a bunch of new song ideas constantly floating around, pretty much a matter of getting together and fleshing out ideas. could this year be the year we make some progress? fuck if i know. but lets hope we get our asses in gear...

    CHANGES
    all his life he dreamt of her, all her life she did the same. so much time spent wishing on stars, then one day she came along. one more time to give love a try. he hopes she'll be all that he needs. [hope is all that they need] will this last forever? forever feels too short. please take my hand, and never let go. you're the girl i've been dreaming of. just never let go. is this the new me? is that the old you? nothing seems the same. happiness seems to be fleeting, there's no such thing as happy endings. they dreamt too long without a clue. nothing else feels the same. please take my hand, and never let go. you're the girl i've been dreaming of. just never let go.

    SOMEWHERE BETWEEN HEAVEN & HELL
    the boat has been struck. man down! man down! our hearts, this boat. we must rebuild. we'll torch the trail. we've sailed upon. man down! man down! we're getting closer to the edge of the world.

    THE SQUARE ROOT OF STAYING
    and you say "just go". everything she said was just a lie and i was blinded, what to do with myself now that she's not here with me. and you say "just stay away". everyday is a new day but i dont want your light no more, insomnia took the best of me, you took the rest of me.

    HEARTSICK
    they're sending me a search party, for when you stopped calling me. and now there's emptiness where you once were. without my heart i'm growing numb. there's this wall between me and you and its six hundred miles thick. and now i'm questioning our lost love. i'll say "i am fine" but i know i'm not. i spent this year with sleepless nights and spitting blood. there's this wall between me and you and its six hundred miles thick. you're not around at all and i feel sick.

    WHEN THE WORLD STOPS
    oh the world will stand so still, so still. dead birds hang out above our heads. these days are numbered. i cannot lie when you're always on my mind, we're all gonna die with our hands over our eyes. memories of the past wont remain much longer. lets worry about right now. i cannot lie when you're always on my mind, we're all gonna die with our hands over our eyes. and i'm just fine, believe me, just go back inside.

    THE GREY SEA
    i've waited so many moons to see you so soon, to hold you near. how about a getaway, girl, from this place we escape our fears. so hold me close tonight. everything that she says to me, i wish i could believe, i wish i could believe in. you. how many ways can we dance around the truth, just to justify our moves, believe that we're okay. how many miles 'til we forget those city lights, let me in for the night, say that it's okay. so hold me close tonight. everything that she says to me, i wish i could believe, i wish i could believe in. goodbye for the last time, goodbye the first time. i still think of you.

    SKYDIVING
    we spent the night searching for where the sky meets the ocean, i could care less if we were to drown along the sand, tonight. we'll feel safe and sound when no one else is around, if i could turn back time, we would own this town. take me home to taste heaven, i'll jump from this moon-less sky, won't care to hit the ground and die, i'll sleep sound tonight. we'll feel safe and sound when no one else is around, if i could turn back time, we would own this town.

    THE SQUARE ROOT OF STAYING

    and you say "just go". everything she said was just a lie and i was blinded, what to do with myself now that she's not here with me. and you say "just stay away". everyday is a new day but i dont want your light no more, insomnia took the best of me, you took the rest of me.

    AND NOW AN EARFUL
    waking up, sleep remains in my eyes as sweet sleeps by my side, how did i steal this moment? if i had the strength to spit it out, i wouldn't doubt myself so much. so much to say, so much to do, while i'm here with you. conversations best drawn half awake, time puts my memories at stake, i know it isn't fair. so kiss me, kiss me, i'll be there, soon.

    YOU'RE ALREADY GONE
    questioning life or death, one last breath and we'll never see you again, was this really your time? i wish you were still by my side. everything's gone cold and gray, why'd you have to go away? one more breath and you'll never see me again, i wish you were by my side. superstition in a sunrise, when i wake the sun will be gone, so light the way, you're already gone

    FREE DRINKS
    free drinks couldn't seal the deal, and now i'm left with nothing to keep from death through boredom, music repeating through this shitty car system, until i retire to find less answers than i expected way before. the gas tank and my mind have so much in common, the meter on both read empty again. this track repeats.

    SO IMPOSSIBLE
    a step in which direction will decide the difference between then and now and again and how? it's so impossible to sing this song without drowning in my own words. can we dream this dream, without looking back at three years too long, and a second chance to try again.

    SKYDIVING
    we spent the night searching for where the sky meets the ocean, i could care less if we were to drown along the sand, tonight. we'll feel safe and sound when no one else is around, if i could turn back time, we would own this town. take me home to taste heaven, i'll jump from this moon-less sky, won't care to hit the ground and die, i'll sleep sound tonight. we'll feel safe and sound when no one else is around, if i could turn back time, we would own this town.
