Tap Out
(music & lyrics by Brent D. Scheihagen)My heart's not in it anymore
I'd walk right out if I could only find the door
Don't you find it strange that none of this will change
and still you're coming back for more?
Well, I'll say goodbye
but my friends please do not cry
I'll be around if you should need
Yes I'm going away
to see the end of days
when all the tears run dry for you and me
It must be something I don't know (oh, no)
If it was there, well, then I'd think that it would show
Guess I'll look again; just a terrapin
singing "What you reap is what you sow."
So, I'll say goodbye
but my friends please do not cry
I'll be around if you should need
Yes I'm going away
to see the end of days
when the tears run dry for you and me
Well, I can't live a life of needful things
so you can keep all those wasted dreams
and my heart would know no rest, you can be sure
cuz I can't walk this ________ line anymore.
'Tap Out' began as a guitar riff, developed while Brent was living in Michigan (Summer '08), and would be finished later while living in Plano, TX (Winter '08). The term 'tap out' is a sports reference, which means to submit as in a wrestling match; Brent here extends the term to a spiritual meaning.
