about

Recording this happened alooong time ago. Waaaaay back in 2011 at Mind Control Studios in Yucaipa, CA. Andy Burris took controls and kicked ass.

On this recording and, at the time, GPB was a 4 piece. We are now a 3 piece. Harmonies and "killer guitar licks" were provided by Jerry. Written by Toddball

lyrics

You're set to make your mark
Cutting teeth to grind your shards
Your sharpness is aloud

All the time to make your mind
While this dampness dulls your mind
Those words will damage soon

Inane to keep your name
Descriptive texts remove the blame
Once the truth gets out, you'll see

You deride by design
Angled, cornered and benign
Laughing keeps you feeling safe

You're self-assured though you're not so sure
Double downed on a round in a town you have no secure

Fighting through to make some room
all the crowds getting loud from the frightened sound of slighted sures

We need this sound for deepening

The culture's couture
And you've made so sure
the fabric's right for pinning tight

You've made some shots
Let us pour you some more shots
The liquor makes it right

So their showing you the door
and it smacks you to the floor
They'll keep descending like hawk

Alive and alert
Alarming sounds to keep alert
This motives got to change

You're self-assured though you're not so sure
Double downed on a round in a town you have no secure

Fighting through to make some room
all the crowds getting loud from the frightened sound of slighted sures

We need this sound for deepening
This is utmost in a fashion like you've never seen
Calling action to the killing fields
We need this sound for deepening
