about

This is the first song on our [2008] album.
What you give is what you get.

lyrics

If you want love, then you gotta give it up.
If you wanna live, then you gotta live it up.
I was taught to walk alone and hold it with my right hand, yeah.
I was tempered in a basement talkin’ to a dead man. (Chorus 1)

Wild eyes lose their fortune
Under depths of self defeat,
While I breathe her perfume
Her physicality.

If its all you ever know, how do you learn to change.
When you’re down life throws ya’ rock slides. When you’re up it offers games.
And if you want your love to hold, then ya’ gotta give it all away.
It’s the paradox of old: What’s here must go to stay.

Wild eyes lose their fortune
Under depths of self defeat,
While I breathe her perfume
Her physicality.

On that desert road
Love ignites the flames that guide you
Love will keep us whole
Enter a better life, love binds you
