Category: Anyone who’s ever been in a band, knows someone who liked to party. And inevitably, the line between fun, and tragic got crossed. Actually…it’s not unique to bands. Everyone knows someone like this. The guys wrote this thing that was a little Metal Church/Queensryche-like. It was kind of Prog. And it begged for something more than the silliness we were known for. Overall, we were from the Van Halen school. It was 1990. We were all between 19 & 23. We just wanted to write great riffs, and fun songs. Little did we know how depressing music was about to get when Grunge happened. In any event, this song called for something a bit deeper. So, I thought about friends we lost to drugs, alcohol, and the ignorance of youth. And this was the result.
The sun goes down..
The nights are growing cold
And there’s no one else around
On the streets you call your home
You’re alone
There’s nowhere else to go
Oh no
It’s over now you know
You follow your chosen path
The snow has made you blind
And you’ve fallen through the cracks
Feel you’ve lost your mind
Your mind
The past has been so unkind
So unkind
The future is yours to find
Follow the signs…
Your face tells the tale, when the bottle’s your friend
Destined to fail, on the road to no end
It’s plain to see, it’s the message you send
Nothin’s for free
On the road to no end
(Solo)
Your face tells the tale, when the bottle’s your friend
Destined to fail, on the road to no end
It’s plain to see, it’s the message you send
Nothin’s for free
On the road to no end
The road to no end
