Solo - Hold D
Notes: I'm not totally sure how many notes are in the solo. No matter, 
nothing changes in that part as it is. So, just play the rythm. After the 
solo is done, Dave does his Vocal solo. As he does this, Nick hits the High 
Hat 16 times (i.e. Hold for 16), you hear a Drum Roll and David slides up 
and down the bass neck. There is a sudden stop/percussive pause and then the 
bass drum hits begin.

Repeat this 14 times           |Hold for 16   |Drum Roll|

	Wow...! can't believe my eyes!!! only 3 comments??? i love this song so much. it's my 2nd favorite on Cryptic after "Trust". and yeah! it's about mustain himself.

No Picture Too Fast For Lo Average	#2 by Too Fast For Love at Nov 20, 2006 at 1:01 AM EST
	He may also be talking about schizophrenia when he says "I hear them shout". He went inside his head to his secret place and he probably started hearing voices, maybe eventually becoming visual hallucinations. Now they won't go away. The personalities created with schizophrenia are really just pieces of yourself. Dave must've found his lost soul by realizing that he'd broken himself. That's what I got from the song, anyway.
