Story Behind The Song
The title is a play on a reality TV show title and admonishing myself to relax in general about my frustrations with the world and the state of the music industry. I have dreamed of being a rock star since a young age but slowly realized as I grew older that I did not want that life style. Now in my 30s and sometimes struggling with depression I wonder if I made the right decision.
Song Description
This is a medium heavy rock song about the frustrations of being a musician for many years with very little acknowledgement or success. In my case, it was self chosen but still frustration enough it fueling this powerfully angry little song.

Lyrics
Just speak up
And tell me what you mean
Come on in
I don't care
Don't give in
Just to give it up
Believing in your daydreams
You know you work too hard
They can hear you
But they just don't care
Do not invite them in
You know I couldn't win
And you learn quickly
Your dreams are already dead
As much as it will ever be
And I'm so tired of this
Stepping over that fine line
With needles of fire
Sometimes melting you down quickly
I know
I should have learned
I know
To even up
And you learn quickly
Your dreams are already dead
As much as it will ever be
And I'm so tired of this
Don't open that door for awhile
Water like flow
Love like bleeding
Oh no, ah oh
Don't speak
Only in time
Spread out like dust
Let go
Oh no
Relax
Water like flow
Follow
