Just got out of bed now and now I'm all ready to tackle the world with My low self esteem and bad attitude Its kind of funny life is grand when youre rude. Things are not always what they seem. The Future Isn't What it Used to be My mind dips to the past Think about things the way they used to be. Now I don't see anything but The man I can not be. Its sick and kinda sad how I turned my back on my old friends. But what did they do for me I dare to ask? I think I'm right when my appetite for self destruction takes ahold of me it makes my past mistakes a little bigger than a gray day be. Its not like I meant this to happen to myself Its kinda funny Life is grand when youre rude Things are not always what they seem. The Future Isn't What it Used to be My mind dips to the past Think about things the way they used to be. Now I don't see anything but The man I can not be.

I can see the shining stars in my head Mellow, softly, whispering to the dead but as I open my eyes again I can see the reality within my bed My faith is not secure But what the hell am I waiting for? Why do I always wait for more? Take me back and show me what I've done wrong The trials I face end up with the same, sad song And when I make my amends again The laws that bide me to my doom will rule instead I want to change my past mistakes Having them around is a thing that I've come to hate I carry a heavy thought in my head I try to lighten the load but it piles on like lead My friends have gone to waste So now I'm here and I don't know what to Make of my life To just sit around so long and when it is time to figure out What its all about and now I see why it always seems to bring me back To bring me back I feel like I'm always under attack I can see the shining stars in my head Mellow, softly, whispering to the dead but when I open my eyes again I can see the reality within my bed My faith is not secure But what the hell am I waiting for? in my life? To just lay around so long and when its time to figure out What its all about and now I see why it always seems to bring me back to bring me back I feel like I'm always under attack!

Hang On 03:21
Hang on Til The Break of Dawn we don't have tomorrow to carry on stay with me and love me through the night cuz we don't have another day to make it alright of all the times that we spent together my mind is lost we're not meant for eachother and if i recall, correctly last fall, you told me that you'd love me forever and I thought I had what I wanted in life You said one day you'd be my wife, ya know and after all that has passed us by the past 10 months were just a lie (chorus) When I would kiss you I thought it was a dream It made so much sense, we were the perfect team Where did we go wrong? Despite lasting so long? Is this how we really fit in the scheme? and I thought I had what I wanted in life You said one day you'd be my wife, ya know and after all that has passed us by the past 10 years were just a lie! (chorus)

George Washington Took the words from my mouth Stolen I lost again My disguise in the fight It might've took a while but you found a way to get away the way that I thought you'd say its like a cheap way to imitate Another day goes by and you still have got no place to call your home and I won't save you Hide all the time and you contemplate suicide and nobody's gonna take the blame for evil thoughts on your mind I can't think straight Don't push it in my face Eight years have passed the things you said were true I tried to laugh again but your words stuck like glue give me a drug so I can think of someone else and I won't save you Lie all the time and then you save your ass just in time Til the shit hits the fan and you are caught on the scene of the crime I can't think straight Don't push it in my face

about

Life is Grand!... (When you're rude)

This was the first official studio record that we recorded between March-April 2008. We hired Brian Whitten and used his space in Northside in Cincinnati to record our songs. Our friend Wade was filling in on drums at the time and he recorded all of the percussion that appears on the record (aside from the bonus track) Everything was done very quickly and precisely, drums, bass and guitar were all tracked in one session, Robby went in and recorded all the vocals by himself the second session then the third session was horns and Adam's backup vocals. The gang vocals were recorded in Robby's basement in April 2008. Corey Montgomery and Tyler Lee Witt recorded seperate vocal tracks at different locations and their tracks were mixed in to the master CD.

The EP was released May 11th, 2008 at the Mad Hatter in Covington, Kentucky. The ultimate goal of the EP was to gain some serious exposure and to have something to send out to venues so we could book tours and become famous rock stars obviously!

The EP did help to fuel a United States tour in winter 2008 and then a few smaller tours in 2009. We plan to re-press the record and have bonus material available on the disc (which you can download here) when we have the available funds.
