Written to a backing track supplied by Iowa City's Death Kill Overdrive for an upcoming benefit compilation which features the same song with different vocals performed by friends both near and far.
Strike while you're hot,
when you're razor wire and focused,
cut right to the chase.
There's no fence 'round your mind,
for once you're unconcerned with time.
There you go again,
put on the coffee, pen in hand,
and by the moon, you stain the page,
and don't care if it ever sees the light of day.
Illuminated.
Do it 'cause you wanna, not 'cause it's gonna sell.
Maybe now they dress like us, but everyone can tell.
We do it 'cause we wanna, not 'cause it's gonna sell.
Flood the river of your mind and let it run like hell.
Don't get frustrated.
Ain't no such thing as "made it."
Don't get frustrated.
'Cause finished is good,
maybe you wish someone would have given you this advice sooner,
but knowing what you know now,
all you gotta do is go!
Illuminated.
We do it 'cause we wanna, not 'cause it's gonna sell.
