Lyrics
Hard On Yourself
you try real hard to get ahead
sometimes the ends don't meet
it's a cycle day after day
you pedal yourself to an early grave
now you slow down
and you gain some ground
chorus:
you try to be your best
but that's not good enough
you don't need to be so hard on yourself
world on you back and responsibilities
care for the mouths you have to feed
you won't accept second rate
because that's the mortgage you have to pay
now you slow down
and you gain some ground
chorus:
you try to be your best
but that's not good enough
you don't need to be so hard on yourself
you push yourself to the edge
just to survive
but you realize
I'm still alive...alive
buried yourself in that hole
someone kicks the dirt in on your head
wrap a tourniquet on the pressure point
don't let the vampire suck you dry
now you slow down
and you gain some ground
chorus:
you try to be your best
but that's not good enough
you don't need to be so hard on yourself
you try real hard to get ahead
sometimes the ends don't meet
it's a cycle day after day
you pedal yourself to an early grave
now you slow down
and you gain some ground
chorus:
you try to be your best
but that's not good enough
you don't need to be so hard on yourself
world on you back and responsibilities
care for the mouths you have to feed
you won't accept second rate
because that's the mortgage you have to pay
now you slow down
and you gain some ground
chorus:
you try to be your best
but that's not good enough
you don't need to be so hard on yourself
you push yourself to the edge
just to survive
but you realize
I'm still alive...alive
buried yourself in that hole
someone kicks the dirt in on your head
wrap a tourniquet on the pressure point
don't let the vampire suck you dry
now you slow down
and you gain some ground
chorus:
you try to be your best
but that's not good enough
you don't need to be so hard on yourself

That's a great chorus. I like your solo (per usual). After each phrase it cuts off quite abruptly. Was this an added effect or seomething you pulled off live?
