Story Behind The Song

Once alive every organism is driven to live, to live long enough to make copies of itself, nurture and raise their offspring, then after a while, find the exit door.

Song Description

A psychological thriller dealing with both the external and internal challenges of our sex drive.

Lyrics

Driven

We're driven by the demons housed inside our cellular walls
It's hard to trust the feelings when nature wakes and calls
Good sense might take a holiday confusing wrong for right
If trust goes bust no foolish lies will get you through that night

No hiding from the sermons, the preacher, or the choir
Can pious inner jurors overrule desire?
Bad luck might make you stumble and hurt some one you love
Just take the deal, plea out, do time, and pray to the lord above

Driven, driven ,driven, driven, driven
Driven, driven

Driven to distraction on a wet and slippery road
Ever seeking traction, tires bald under heavy load
Listening to reason is option number three
Is doing what comes natural worth the penalty?

When laughing leads to crying, and loving leads to pain
When fighting leads to leaving and starting all over again
Ask your better angels if errors have occurred
No one gets to heaven without some hell incurred

We court our own disaster from the start of puberty
We make our own successors for a shot of ecstasy
Though some of us will circumvent our tyrant DNA
It's rare and probably fair to say it mostly gets its way

Driven, driven ,driven, driven, driven
Driven, driven

Driven to distraction, the craving never ends
Incessant call to action, won't let go and never bends
Harboring excuses is useless on appeal
What worthy court would jail you for doing what you feel?
