about

I got to choose our first single release, which is titled Dial Tone. I selected this song because it was what got us to where we are right now, releasing this album. It was also the first song we wrote together as a band, so I thought it was more than appropriate to release it first. Originally the song was titled "If Guinness Came Out Of Soda Fountains I Wouldn't Be So Sad All The Time" but we moved away from that title and ended up with Dial Tone. Amongst ourselves we still call it "Guinness". There's most definitely a story behind the original name if you were thinking where the hell that name came from, but I won't share that here. If you want to know ask one of us! Hope you enjoy the song.

-Frank

lyrics

Biting nails so low that skin is ripping from bone.
The pain helps to cope with wanting to be alone.
The lights are on but no one’s home.
My phone’s off the hook just to hear the dial tone.

The nails I swallow can’t digest,
like regret filling my head that won’t lay to rest.
I dress to impress everyone but myself.
I’m sick of always being last to get a trophy on the shelf.

No one can reach me. My nail beds are bleeding
from the thought of breaking the news. Oh well, I’ll just play my blues
over and over in my head. Staying up all night in my bed.
Packing my life in a car. Heading home where wounds can scar.

The nails I swallow can’t digest,
like regret filling my head that won’t lay to rest.
I dress to impress everyone but myself.
I’m sick of always being last to get a trophy on the shelf.

I’m so sick of this.

I’m so sick.
