But it feels so dark 'till then
Drowns you out
But you can't be too certain
Common wants
Only fill me up with need
Everybody
In this world is just like me
So I row on
Sounds like fear
Thinking there might be a cure
Waste your life
But you don't know what it's worth
Comb your mind
For all the treasures of this earth
Too close to find
Anything outside yourself
So I row on
Life ain't nothing
But a dream
Realistic
As it seems
Destiny's vulgar
So I might as well resist
Out of the darkness
And all the secrets still exist
Finally decided
And by decide, I mean accept
I don't need all those
Other chances I won't get
So I row on
Life ain't nothing
But a dream
Realistic
As it seems
Built to Spill is an American indie rock band that formed in Boise, Idaho, in 1992. Centered on lead vocalist and guitarist Doug Martsch, the only permanent member, Built to Spill has released nine full-length albums since its inception.
Martsch originally envisioned the band to feature a changing set of backing musicians for each album, but eventually settled with a stable lineup for over a decade before returning to his original plan in 2012. Having received consistent critical acclaim throughout their career, three of the band's albums—There's Nothing Wrong with Love, Perfect from Now On and Keep It Like a Secret—placed in the top 50 of Pitchfork's Top 100 Albums of the 1990s list. Keep It Like a Secret was the band's first album to chart on the Billboard 200 in the United States, while their 2009 release There Is No Enemy became Built to Spill's highest-charting album of their career.
