"Exits"

I forgot about this one too... This Scott and I started recording and abandoned for a while... I am currently revamping it and finishing it.

It is about the disconnection between people, and how it is easier to separate and try and go our own ways than actually connect... But how this separation is what actually keeps us down. There is also a Radiohead allusion thrown in... See if you can find it! I wrote it after realizing how isolated they felt while making a documentary during the OK Computer tour (hint there)...

"Exits"
Words by Grant Walker, All Rights Reserved

Everyone flees to the fire escape
But the railing is rusted shut
Tired of running from ourselves
We're just flailing inside our ruts

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
Sleeping tight with minds on cruise control
Creeping up slowly into separate factions

But you're feeling, you're feeling it out
Yeah you're feeling it out, yeah you're just feeling it out

Well meeting people is easy or so I have heard
Hanging on for dear life onto all of your words

But you're feeling, you're feeling it out
Yeah you're feeling it out

But you're feeling, you're feeling it out
Yeah you're feeling, you're feeling it out
Yeah you're just feeling, you're feeling, you're feeling it out

Sitting on the porch drowning auto transit
Searching for all the convenient exits

But you're feeling, you're feeling it out
Yeah you're feeling, you're feeling it out
Yeah you're just feeling, you're feeling, you're feeling it out
