Serrated Friend

There is this question that remains
is this pleasure or is this pain?
who are you what is your name?
tell me where you're from and why you came

I've got an obsession with mad moods
maybe I'll win maybe I'll lose
life's been good knock on wood
life's been rough, I've had enough

I know about the consequence
the thought brings me to my senses
and what could happen again
it took so long to mend

I lost so much blood
but it was for my own good
yet bad days knives and skin
make my troubles begin

So I ask my serrated friend, for a translation

All those numbers in your head
they don't count when you are dead
all those visions in your eyes
they don't matter when your alive

So I ask my serrated friend, for a translation

Joe and I have been writing and recording some new songs at the Bueana Vista studio in Urbana.

Mark is living comfortably out in the woods of Ohio. he's been making (and partaking of) wine and hard apple cider and feelin' real good about life and the near future.

Andrew is hard at work with his other band the Chemicals. they're recording some songs right now.

They're gonna play with us at the cd release show... along with the M's. they're on Brilliante Records...a sweet indie label out of Chicago. the show is September 29th at the Highdive in Champaign, IL and it's 7$. we're gonna have the new record available there.

our fearless manager, Glen Phillips, is back from vacation and hard at work securing us tour dates for the coming months. so keep an eye on the website for shows and such later this fall.
