~Bed of nails~
"I've given you all there is of me
and all of our best laid plans at a glance seem like us
but it was never in our hands
Well its always been the same for me
You twist my heart until I no longer bleed
Chorus
I tried I failed
on this bed of nails impaled
to be this time
afraid of breaking down
You've taken all there is of me
and all of our best laid plans at a glance seemed like us
but it was never in our hands
Well its always been the same for me
You twist my heart until I no longer bleed"
-Tim McCormick of Surface Tension
Because sometimes a song just says exactly what it's supposed to.
PICTURES OF SURFACE TENSION AND TEAM AT THE KISW HOLIDAY HANGOVER BALL 12-1-06...
Surface Tension’s recording debut “Consciously Clones†marks the band’s first full-length CD, produced and engineered by Martin Feveyear of Jupiter Studios. Track two “Bed of Nails†is featured on 99.9 F.M., KISW’s “Harder, Faster, Louder†Vol. 4 compilation. Track six “Start Over†is featured on 102.5 F.M., KZOK’s “Write a Bleepin’ Song†compilation. Material from the CD is also responsible for winning first place in KISW’s B.J. Shea’s American Idiot Contest, a showcase featuring what they consider to be Seattle’s top bands.
“Consciously Clones†produces a provocative cocktail, a disciplined approach to big guitar sound. The CD surges and swells in symbiotic unison with its percussive counterparts, giving host to high-powered rhythms and dynamic phrasing. There is an inherent inner balance of cynicism and hope that scores the thematic undercurrent of the CD, an expedition into and back out of ourselves.
Songs like “Locust,†“Piece by Piece,†“My War,†and “Start Over†all share the same possibility. The outcome is up to us. A voyage into both the light and dark side of the human experience, “Consciously Clones†takes us to the frontlines of some of our biggest problems and asks us to search inwardly for the answers.

The Top Ten Reasons Why You Can't Trust Vicious Pit Bulls
10. They will steal your spot on the couch while you are up getting a soda.
9. They will take the treat you give them and bury in the back yard like a paranoid crack head hiding their stash.
8. They will jump on your bed with muddy feet. Making you do laundry...again
7. They will lick visitors with an uncontrolled passion only they understand.
6. They will cause children to smile.
5. They will make you feel horrible for not walking them by looking at you with deep sad eyes.
4. They will look at you like you committed a crime against them if you don't let them lick your ice cream bowl.
3. They will cause wide spread happiness in large group settings.
2. They will crack you up by shaking their butts so hard you think they are going to snap in half.
And the number one reason why you can't trust vicious Pit Bulls...
1. They will steal your heart like a thief in the night, showing you complete and pure love that only a Pit Bull can show.
