You Got Nothin' On Me

"Take your insanity & put it in jail coz you are nothin' and you'll always fail. Don't think you won because you lose, when toe to toe with me your ego will bruise. You fall in love with what you can't get, try to take it but your memory we forget. Because you're a failure at all you do and all that you think you love will leave you! You got nothin' on me son. Not a single God damn thing! I said you got nothin' on me son, Not even the best that you can bring. When you are gone who will really care? You leave behind no good from being there. So take the bottle and grab the gun, do us all a favor would you son? You got nothin' on me son. Not a single God damn thing! I said you got nothin' on me son, Not even the best that you can bring. Try standing tall, you'll always come short. When I stand there, you'll always come short. You got nothin' on me son. Not a single God damn thing! I said you got nothin' on me son, Not even the best that you can bring. I said you got nothin' on me son. Not a single God damn thing! I said you got nothin' on me son, Not even the best that you can bring. You might think that you got something, You might think you got everything! You might think you're better, smarter, stronger... But you're nothin', you don't have the golden touch, you don't have what I have... bitch!"

Take A Swing 01:38
"Take a swing at, Take a swing at, Take a swing at, A swing at me! Take a swing at, Take a swing at, Take a swing at, A swing at me! Take a swing at, Take a swing at, Take a swing at, A swing at me! Take a swing at, Take a swing at, Take a swing at, A swing at me! Take a swing, a swing at me. Take a swing, a swing at me. Take a swing, a swing at me. Take a swing, a swing at me. Take a swing, a swing at me. Take a swing, a swing at me. Take a swing, a swing at me. Take a swing, you won't touch me! Take a swing at, Take a swing at, Take a swing at, A swing at me! Take a swing at, Take a swing at, Take a swing at, A swing at me! Take a swing at, Take a swing at, Take a swing at, A swing at me! Take a swing at, Take a swing at, Take a swing at, A swing at me! Come on! Take a swing at, Take a swing at, Take a swing at, A swing at me! Take a swing at, Take a swing at, Take a swing at, A swing at me! Take a swing at, Take a swing at, Take a swing at, A swing at me! Swing at me!"

"You'll live in the shadows of my forgotten memories, A place where my demons run, searchin' out my enemies. Lost in the fog of the nightmares I created, A place just for you, a place for the wasted. Said run, run as fast you can, I can catch you coz I'm the man! I said run, run as fast as you can, I can catch you coz I'm the man! I live in the light of the day that's today, A place that's real & truth is what I say. Strong in who I am & what I can do, Which is a hell of a lot more than a "man" like you! Said run, run as fast you can, I can catch you coz I'm the man! I said run, run as fast as you can, I can catch you coz... I'm the fox! That you fear in the night. I'm the fox! That follows you through your plight. I'm the fox! That wants to see you try and defend. I'm the fox! That will devour you in the end! You'll live in the shadows. You'll live in the shadows. You'll live in the shadows. You'll live in the shadows."

about

The lyrics were written for "You Got Nothin' On Me" over a 10 minute period while I was on a lunch break and the music came just as quick. Then I recorded what would be the acoustic guitar, one of the electric guitars and drum track that ended up as the foundation for the recording here.

"Take A Swing" was a riff I had been fooling around with for many many years, suddenly I heard the lyrics, as simple as they are, and it seemed to fit the song. It was written very quickly and is just an all out rocker.

"I Can Catch You (I'm The Fox)" came two weeks after I had wrote "Take A Swing". Again it was written on a break at work, I wrote part of the lyrics as a caption for an Instagram post and then liked it enough to immediately expand on. It felt like this was the one other song that needed writing for this project. It's short, it's stripped down and it's got the same edge to it that the other 2 have but delivered in a different way. I look at it as a complementary piece to the overall whole that is this single. Partly inspired by an old folktale.
