I need a place to go and think
Remove me from this world
To contemplate on my past
The future that I held

This diary that I keep
It notes my life so far
All that I have achieved
And haven't done at all

I never thought I'd sink this low
As time keeps rolling by
This isn't what I planned for life
But nothings on my side

I'm living everyday in sin
And my nights on over time
Trying to get some petty cash
Just to pass me by

My mind is set on overdrive
I'm trying to reach my goal
I'm trying to get somewhere
But where I just don't know

I should have taken your advice
While I had the chance
'Coz now I'm regretting everything
But I was built to last!

Artist Comment: "The title of this song is a quote from the first of the LOTR books. Sam saw the film when it came out and liked the name, but in his infinite wisdom, decided it was a bit pretentious. A few years down the line Sam, Tom and Adam get in to Brand New and discover that some of their song titles are slightly pretentious pop culture references. This our hommage to Mr Lacey. the lyrics have nothing to do with LOTR or Brand New."
