Each Second Suffering 130 bpm MP3 Sample

Searching the digital screen. Just a word to get you by.
This night alone. Will the message come through again?
You take another pill. This life is standing still.
You don’t exist tonight.
Tomorrow will be the same old thing.
Calls on the Phone, and stories of drinking all night.
Consumed by one addiction.

Each second suffering. You wait there by the door.
Minutes pass you by. Each second suffering.
You’re anticipating. No longer waiting.
You walk into the room. To see it’s true.
What has it done to you?

You come into work a Mess.
Insomnia, entraps you countless times.
The sun is blinding.
Somehow you struggle through. With agony.
You take another pill.
Watching the clock count down.
Signing on again with no response.
You’ve given into the game.

Over the years I've been asked many times if this song
is about drinking, or drugs, or infidelity. The answer is yes and no.

It is also rumoured that I wrote this song about a couple I knew, and
their odd relationship, but it was actually written about a friend of
mine who lost the woman he loved, to cancer.

The "pills" were speed to keep him awake. His "one addiction" was
the girl he loved. The chorus is him sitting in her hospital room,
knowing that death would eventually come to take her from him
forever.

"Giving into the game" is the realization of our own mortality. The
gamble we take everyday in life. We are here to exist with no
guarantees, and it can end at any time.

In watching my friend's pain and struggle, I knew that no amount of
words or sympathy could console him. In my frustration, I wrote this
song as seen through his eyes if I were him; as he lost everything he
loved in the world. I have never told him that I wrote this song for
him and I honestly don't know if he ever figured it out or not. But
just know that I love you Brandon.

This song was always very powerful live, and I truly miss singing it
on stage. I used to tell DJ Introvert that this was my sleeper hit,
because I still believe to this day that it should have been a single.

A video for Each Second Suffering will appear on our DVD titled
Visionary.
