This Is A Standoff - Go With Me

You stood there waiting in line,
you're here with all of your friends.
You've got a pulsating stare and one you'll happily send.
And when you staring this way, I just can't tell it's to me.
You looked ahead up to wave and then I finally see.

A silver bottle spilled out on the table.
A light all over you is brushed in red,
and what I'm seeing almost stops me playing.
We're not guilty, we're not guilty now, we're not guilty now.

If something's keeping you here don't go with me,
but that open road is calling.
If nothing's holding you back then go with me, go with me.
I've got to leave because our dreams are slowly fading away,
and that life keeps me from falling.
It's all around me and the doors are closing.
Enough of this, alright, we've got to say our goodbyes.

I get my face off the floor, somebody look at the time.
I just can't take any more,
I think it's quarter to nine,
we've got ten hours to drive and we'll be going all day,
and maybe when we'll arrive
I'll hear just one of us say
the doors are opening get off the table.
And say what's wrong with you. We're on in five.
And what I'm seeing almost stops me playing, we're not guilty now.

If something's keeping you here don't go with me,
but that open road is calling.
If nothing's holding you back then go with me, go with me.
I've got to leave because our dreams are slowly fading away,
and that life keeps me from falling.
It's all around me and the doors are closing.
Enough of this, alright, we've got to say our goodbyes.

It's all around me and the doors are closing.
Enough of this, alright, we've got to say [x3] our goodbyes

Hey guys Sitting at work, figured I'd throw up a more updated journal.

First off, woohoo!! I reached 30,000 page views! I wasn't even paying attention! So thanks so much guys, I really appreciate the visits to my niche in Deviantart.

Let's see, what's been up?

I saw Strung Out recently in Kingston with This Is A Standoff and i have to say, seeing Strung Out in such a small club was amazing. I was in the pit for their entire set. My buddy Aaron's band, Captain Kife opened up for both of them. My old singer from My Brilliant Theory even came down from Banff to come to this show, so that weekend was probably the most amazing weekend But yeah, go check out some of these bands!

The video I was working on for Captain Kife is done now, and to be released with their sampler cd, which I'm also working on the artwork for. It's great to apply my artwork to the music scene because it's what I've always wanted to do.

On top of that, I'm working with my buddy Scott from high school with his company to make an new iPod touch/iPhone game, so look for that sometime

As far as art goes, I have a million unfinished pieces that are currently getting finished. I didn't want to put more sketches up until I've had some full work done, so I'll be trying to update soon. Work has taken over a lot of my art freetime, but I'm doing it as best I can.

So hopefully you guys will get to see some new stuff soon! I've been practicing a hell of a lot by drawing and painting on my tablet, but I'm not satisfied juuuust yet.

Anyway, summers here, and I hope everyone is doing awesome. I should be visiting back here more often!

'till then,

Cheers, beers and bloody ears,

Gusto
