State of Empty

Story Behind The Song

This one is the brainchild of Mike D., but he couldn't write a solo in time for the recording, so Lance (the drummer?) plays the solo on this version. Before the recording, Mike would improv a solo live. After Mike left, Dave wrote a solo that he would play live, making this the only song that 3 members of BoC have played the solo on.(!?)

Quite heavy, with a progressive arrangement. This one is BoC's most groove-oriented song.

Lyrics

Somewhere in between madness and the sane
Therein lies a place I cannot explain

Once I enter in there's no going back
Underneath the stress I begin to crack

The panic sets in the dead I'm akin
I'm flailing around in this state of empty
Lost in this maze I can't find my way
I'm living inside of this state of empty

Here inside the void hopelessness prevails
And my cries for help are to no avail

Help me

All I've tried can't fill me up no matter what I do
I don't care how much it costs, this time I'm breaking through
