Spinning from Television & Trash by Brett Schieber

I have worked many, many long days at multiple jobs. I would get up early to go to class, then I'd go to a job in the afternoon and then go to a job at night.....then repeat, over and over....all while trying to squeeze in time to write and play music. It's draining, especially when all I want to do is write and play music and the necessities/realities of life prevent me from that. That's what "Spinning" is about. It actually began with the lyrics and Shaz and I turned it into a very early unreleased Arcanum song. When we disbanded, I took the lyrics I wrote, rewrote the music completely, and made this version of the song.

Lyrics

Somebody told me that money is the game
To live this life you've got to pay
But the more that he accumulates, the less he seems to live
and the more that he accumulates, the less he seems to give

(Chorus)
Do you have a dream you'd like to sell, or do you have a life you want to live? Do you have a clock to watch it turn, or do you have some dreams you'd like to burn?

Spinning around so fast that I don't know the day
So this is the price that I have to pay
But the more that I accumulate, the less I seem to gain
But the more that I accumulate, the less I feel the pain

(Chorus)
