Just to be clear everyone, this is Jon. Lately I've been struggling with the desire to write something inspirational. I haven't been satisfied with anything I've written in the past and I needed something new. As some of you may know I am just as devoted to bass as I am to drums, and probably on the same skill level with both instruments. On average I spend 7 - 10 hours a day, (everyday) practicing; I really push myself to constantly grow and do things I never thought I could do.

Last Sunday night I wrote this new song. It uses classical progressions with a twist. Almost what you'd expect to hear from early Muse. We'll be recording at the Hive starting the week of Feb the 23rd, devoting all our days to this one song, with a single goal: to make it perfect. We should be releasing the single and preforming this song on our upcoming show at Studio Seven, March 1st. So it be would mean a lot to me and to all of us to see all of our devoted fans there. You wont wanna miss this...

Anyways, I decided I'd post the lyrics. This is everything I originally wrote, James may change the order, or not use certain parts in the final editing, but all-in-all this is the song. I'd appreciate any comments you have about the lyrics, and also I'd really like to know what you think this song may be about...

One last thing I want to make clear... This song has nothing to do with Religion, Sex, Drugs, or any Girl out there. I dare you to figure out the true meaning... Hope you enjoy!

I need that rush
To feel like a dream
To kill for, To die for
And everything in between

Heart pounding fast
Veins pulsing blood
Life living its best
All I can do is run

The day to day life
I'm trapped in despair
Bliss and revival
This drug is a dare

It's like a rare diamond
You only find once
This feeling, this craving
It's a blood thirsty lust

People try each day
To feel this explosion
But they crumble away
Like a landmass erosion

The rush when it comes
It comes hard and fast
This merciless devotion
I need this to last

Nothing of this world
Can come close to compare
These fluttering energetic chemicals
Almost too much to bare

Lay back and watch
This devil do its trick
1,000's of emotions
Which one will stick?

Struck of agony and awe
There may be a price to pay
Eyes closed, live in the moment
It's destiny today
