about

I Rise was written primarily by Paco and worked up by the band right around the time Drama Kids was released in 2003. It was likely the first "new" song we worked on after finishing and releasing the record, therefore, it was a favorite of ours and was performed consistently on tour amongst all of the album's songs.

After completing the bulk of our touring in support of Drama Kids we quickly entered Crystal Clear Studios in Dallas, TX to demo the song along with 4-5 others. This was the first (of many) live demo sessions for Swallowing The Pill. I Rise didn't make the cut for that album so this version is the only one available. It was recorded in one take, with no overdubs, engineered by Kent Stump.

lyrics

we were young then
chasing what they taught us to

golden skies then
fading into manic blue

if you're not feeling high enough
you don't even have to like it
its just something that gets us there
its just something that gets us there

drink of the water we'll bathe under water
drink of the fountain we'll drown under water

the dreaming place where we belong
that echoes in the halls of love
it separates then breaks away
at times your face can fade to grey

if you're not feeling high enough
you don't even have to like it at all
its just something that gets us there
its just something that gets us there

drink of the water we'll bathe under water
drink of the fountain we'll drown under water

the dreaming place where we belong
that echoes in the halls of love
it separates then breaks away
at times your face

this is the place where we will rise
rising to meet our paths of life

this is the place where roads will rise
caressing our feet in the sands of time

this is the place where we will rise
rising to meet our paths of light

i wake
i rise
from gold
to blue
back to you

i rise
i rise
i rise
