Matt Muncie, myself, wrote and recorded all parts of the song.

Description

I wrote this song when I had a falling out with my former bandmate and friend. I was told my music just wasn’t good enough for modern listeners. So I decided to leave, do what I enjoyed and follow my own dreams.

Bio

The Octopus Division is a San Diego based modern synthpop artist creating original songs with catchy hooks, dance rhythms, and lyrics that take you back to the 80’s in a fun and energetic musical journey.

Lyrics

Should have known it was my fault
I always wanted more
Couldn’t see inside your heart
And what you had in store

Now I contemplate the path
A message to convey
As I walk away from you
Cause there’s no other way

Time will always have its end
But I won’t let it start
Versions that they saw in me
Are now broken apart

I’ve turned this stone into grass
I cannot live without the past
Feeding your mind was all I’d do
Now I’ll show you I’m something with, and without you

I found comfort in the arms
Of those who saw beneath
And to me I stand upon
The action and belief

I’ve turned this stone into grass
I cannot live without the past
Feeding your mind was all I’d do
Now I’ll show you I’m something with, and without you

I’ve turned this stone into grass
I cannot live without the past
Feeding your mind was all I’d do
Now I’ll show you I’m something with, and without you
