about

Written in one hour with a bottle of red wine and a desire to break out of a deep funk, this is the second track with a suicide theme on the album. In contrast to New Mexico, this song is more of a personal testament in which the narrator finds glory in the struggle, much like in Hamlet's "To be or not to be" soliloquy, if Hamlet were played by Mike Ness. Life will get you down, but you don't have to take it.

lyrics

Well life's a game and each day's a hand
And every night you deal again
But win or lose, with every breath
You're burning out and cheating death

Close your eyes, wish for something more
Take a swing, even up the score
With every move and every breath
You're burning out and cheating death

Well luck runs cold and luck runs hot
All the world's a stage but what's the plot?
Don't waste your time with suicide
'Cause cheating death is worth the ride

Close your eyes, wish for something more
Take a swing, even up the score
With every move and every breath
You're burning out and cheating death

(solo)

Close your eyes, wish for something more
Take a swing, even up the score
With every move and every breath
You're burning out and cheating death

The Lincolns UK Detroit, Michigan

The band is the brainchild of artist/actor/powercouple Marc & Jennifer Nischan, and filmmaker Mikey Brown, who met through Planet Ant Theatre. ... more
