about

Three instances came to mind while this song was taking shape as I spread a thick layer of symbolism and metaphor over the whole lot, partially concealing; (1) totaling a car, (2) a crooked high powered entertainment lawyer, and (3) business acquaintances who didn't have my best interest at heart. I actually have a story bag full of these types of individuals and instances but then who doesn't. This brings up a quote I once heard that pretty well sums it up, “It doesn't matter whether your given or gettin' just as long as the pucks are flying”. It is my sincere desire that the pucks keep flyin', because where there's friction there's heat and where there's heat there's life...Amen

Verse
I’ve been at a crossroads
Where blood, sweat, and tears meet
Rolled up my sleeves, salvaged dreams
That collided with the street
I found little room to entertain
Suspension of disbelief

Chorus
In the friction and heat
In the friction and heat

Verse
I’ve seen teflon smiles
Front confidence schemes
A dealer and his shill, fleece a mark
Who wagers he can follow the queen
And the art lies in the sleight of hand
Quicker than the eye can see

Chorus

Bridge
Shifting through the gears
Steering clear of crossed bare wires
On myside of the line, inbounds
Out of the line of fire

Verse
I’ve heard slander pass as judgement
Roll off tongues in double speak
A Judas kiss fall from tender lips
For thirty pieces of deceit
And as I’m whistling passed the graveyard
Smoke’s curling up around me feet

Chorus

Verse
I’ve been at a crossroads
Where blood, sweat, and tears meet
Rolled up my sleeves, salvaged dreams
That collided with the street…

Chorus outro
In the friction and heat
Friction and heat
Friction and heat
Out in the friction and heat
