Written in Thailand on Ko Phangan in between fruit shakes during a pleasing succession of idyllic sunny days. The only song from Moist's 'Eat, swim, sleep and then eat some more' period that packed more emotional weight than the oscar Meyer Weiner song and was actually worth keeping. Complete lack of tension in writing process results in everything else written during this period being thrown out unceremoniously upon return to Canada for simply sounding too annoyingly peppy. Recorded at Mushroom Studios in Vancouver with Kevin Hamilton


This hole burns in my mind
This fire that I cannot deny
I'll choke your words away
And smile as we begin to fade
My conditioning
So say all of you
Mine or everything
So say all of you to me


Your words to break me down
Now touch this bitterness you've found
I'll choke your words away
And smile as we begin to fade


My conditioning etc.

And still i burn
And still i burn
And still i burn
My old machine is worn
(repeat)
Worn...


My conditioning etc.

And still i burn
And still i burn
And still i burn
My old machine has worn (x2)
My hope away
My hope away
My hope away
Away
