This song was written in the Summer 2004. When Scott and I went with my family to Crystal Lake, Michigan, we used to sit on two separate, parallel docks only 50 feet from each other. After 'power-smoking' we would sit on our respective docks and listen to music or do whatever. It was a nice private stoned time. Anyways, I was listening to a lot of Radiohead and a little bit of Spitalfield. The way I started writing this song is: what does water think of humans? Do they enjoy our company or is it a more cynical approach? Well, I chose cynical.
I always thought the feel of this song would be (if music were set to it) soaring vocals and a slower more melodic guitar part. Maybe even just vocals and guitar. Well, here it is:
The Last Reason I Had to Spend Time
Call Me a murderer?
Steal my children, I dare you.
I see the evil sparkle at the back of your eye.
Extensions of greetings,
Shake my hand, I dare you.
Spit on me, thrash me, and take me away.
Funny "haha," how it all turns away, huh?
The power grabs your one being.
You crave arsenic in your heart
as I long for feet in my head.
You think it's all cut and dry?
Or is your soul dry?
I know the rest of you isn't.
Try it. Try it. Try it.
You're just like me.
You're just like me.

wow! This is really awesome. I'm amazed at the intricate wording. I'm dumbfounded, this is honestly one of the greatest pieces of literature I've ever read. I think this would be great in a melodic tune. You should consider starting off in a harmonizing way, then throw in some crazy guitar riff. Mind you, it's just a suggestion, I really would like to hear it, though. If I were you, I'd post up a video of myself actually playing it :)
