about

According to Nick:

High on Stress started in July 2003 when I met Mark Devaraj after posting a "band wanted" flyer at Music Go Round in Uptown (RIP). Soon after Jon Tranberry offered his services on bass and brought in his friend, Ben "Country" Baker. Ben showed up to OBT studio with a giant white binder of songs that he had written. This was one of them.

lyrics

I call home at midnight every morning
from deep inside the Harris County jail
Answer back and echo and a warning
You've got a lot of nerve boy
You've got a lot of gall
You've got a lot of time to have it all

Twenty one year's old and look at me crying
Mama don't bring my little boy here today
Sick of all of my shit and he's sick of me lying
Call you every morning boy
can't you hear me scream
Am I just an echo in your dreams?

Deep inside me I know everyone wants to feel a little like me
Bury my soul on the side of the road and set my conscience clean
These consequences are catching on fast like a water to a stream
We've got a lot of time to have it all

Alcohol can make you feel uneasy
Never been all that you wanted her to be
Have you ever watched a man stop breathing
Than you ain't never been high boy
You ain't never been stoned
Until you suddenly find yourself alone
