Name: Will You Ever?
Duration: P00H06M00S
Description: This song was originally performed by my old band The New Death Show (circa 1997) but we never got around to recording it, so I tried to do it justice myself (circa 1999). Yikes! Another of my early, somewhat embarrassing forays into electronic music, this track ended up sounding like a collaboration between Depeche Mode and The Smiths.

lyrics

When will you know what you want?
When will you know what you need?
When will you know what you want from life?
Or what you want of me?

Will you ever know what you want?
Will you ever know?
Will you ever know what you want?
Will you ever know?

I remember the time
You were with a boy that you liked
And you rode up and down The streets of our town with him
And you said that he liked you
And you said that you liked him
But only because of "those things he does for me"

Will you ever know what you want?
Will you ever know?
Will you ever know what you want?
Will you ever know?

Now I see that those days are done
Now I see that that boy is gone
But it's only because he wasn't interesting
It's only because he didn't satisfy you

Will you ever know what you want?
Will you ever know?
Will you ever know what you want?
Will you ever know?

Iowa Anvil

The Graze is easily my favorite band in Seattle. Louis O'Callahan's writing style is right up my alley, it doesn't do him justice to say but he could be Kurt Cobain and Jeff Mangum's bastard child. The Way It Is
