So my 9 yr old son ran straight into a fence this morning because he couldn't be bothered to listen or pay attention. Sounds a bit like our current society. So this song came rather easily.
Why do you run when you need to walk?
You open your mouth when you shouldn't talk
You empty the coffers when you need to save
And you follow the bear cub into the cave
You burn all your bridges when you need to cross
You know the directions even when you are lost
You blame it on others when you are afraid
You cover the garden when you think you want shade
Why do you run into the fences?
You should try to open your eyes
Where is the fire? Where is the smoke?
You laugh at the danger as if it's a joke
You choke on the questions when you ignore
Answers that ruminate drip on the floor
Why to you run when you need to walk?
You open your mouth when you shouldn't talk
You burn all your bridges, you set them on fire
You lower the bar when you should take it higher
Why do you hide from the answers?
You should try to open your mind
Why do you run into fences?
You should try to open your eyes

This is great. That synth line cooks.
I dig the distortion on the bass and the dense vocals.

Dig'n this. Such a parents perspective, which I can totally relate to. Nice delivery. Enjoyed the melody line you were playing on the keys.

Well this kicks ass! Lovely zoingy sounds you have got in here, and the song is pretty good too. The confident chords under the very direct lyrics work well.
