Name: Toxic
Duration: P00H02M32S
Description: I wanted to do an Amuse style Ramones song on this. I had a close friend going through this bad relationship and it was making him hate the world. He said "I love her but I have to break up with her". The melody of "I love you girl but I've gotta go" came to my head and I wrote this song. Kaine wrote that stellar intro into the song and it's one of my favorite parts of the album.

lyrics

We always fight
I never win
I built a ship and you made me swim
I swam my way right back to you
And all these months we've grown apart
I tally them up on my heart
It's a miracle that I'm still alive

There's no room for scars no more
So sail that ship right back to shore
I'm getting out today

I love you girl but I've got to go
The toxicity running through your veins
I love you girl but I've got to go

I learned to fight
I learned to win
I beat Rocky and the Karate Kid
But somehow you still knocked me down
And all these months we've grown apart
I'd need a map to know where you are
It's a miracle we made it so far

There's no room for scars no more
So sail that ship right back to shore
I'm getting out today

I love you girl but I've got to go
The toxicity running through your veins
I love you girl but I've got to go

Life's been great since I let you go
whoa

Eyes Wide Shut Up
by OLD SOULS

Not too long ago we played in Cleveland. A lot of weird shit happened at that show. The most memorable thing for me though was this amazing band called Old Souls. Glad to have met these rad dudes. Amuse
