Story Behind The Song
One of my twins had a meltdown during his hardest semester in college and the discussions went until 3am trying to talk him back from the proverbial ledge. This song represents the thoughts and mindset
Song Description
This is a song about trying to figure out why we blindly do what is expected of us. We work, eat, sleep, be social, pay our taxes...but there's always one end for everyone and then...who knows? Why not leave a mark?

Lyrics
A Reason
Is there a reason why we're here?
Is it a dream so serene I'm floating out of the atmosphere?
If there's a reason, shame on me
If I could take what went wrong and replace it with apathy
But I know what is so
I can't tell you way to go
I'm slow, doncha know?
I wanna stare at the sun
I want to run with rusty scissors and a loaded gun
I wanna have my fun
I can't hide my inner demons from anyone
Is there a reason for what is so?
If I could play give or take, then I'll give it a go
It leaves you thinkin is that all?
Half-planted indiscreet with a bottle of alcohol
You looked hi and low
Not having much to show
...reap what you sow
I wanna blot out the sun
I want to make some toast in the bathtub, invite everyone
I'm just a song of a gun
A hypocritical armchair genius
fuck everyone!
