this one is about having friends who're finding success in the same things you dream of and deciding to believe you can get there too, just in your own way. and also ants.
lyrics
the ants on the floor all follow a line
that promised to lead to much better times
their friends that have been tell what they might find
so on then they go with minimal doubt
although they can’t see how things will turn out
for their friends have made it through somehow
and I’m just a human scared of how i got here
and obsessed with the rest of my eighty odd years
the prospect of death never seemed to phase me
so i focus for sure on the present day’s weight
in the back of my mind future local show dates
and the dreams in my head well they seem pretty great
just trying to sound the same way
trying not to stay up late
trying not to be afraid
trying to be okay
‘till i can make it
‘cause the ants on the floor all follow a line
that promised to lead to much better times
their friends that have been tell what they might find
so on then they go with minimal doubt
although they can’t see how things will turn out
for their friends have made it through somehow
but sometimes the ants they can’t quite comprehend
when the line breaks before it’s the promising end
so they spin ‘round in circles in circles they spin
‘till they find it again
and this thing called success well i know it won’t be
the end of all doubts and all problems for me
but that’s not the point you see
live every day like it might be your last
and don’t take for granted the freedoms you’re cast
‘cause someone looks better and runs twist as fast
but this is all you have
to be
this band has some of the most beautiful songs i ever did hear, rivaled only by the spells -- and those are written by the same person. i'm also in these bands now and i love everything about them. kaci taylor
take my songs, multiply them by say, 15, make them super catchy, lyrically deeper than the ocean, and all around amazing, and BOOM. chris farren - the perfect ghost. i mean, human. kaci taylor
