Wheel Of Life
Lyrics by Michele Quick

Too much of a burden
So you stuck me in here
Useless and old, I guess you
Don't really care
How did this happen
Why should this be
I was once you
One day you'll be 
Just like me too
Young full of life
Happy as can be
Unknowingly selfish
Seems you forgot about me
Wheels of life keep turning 
Nothing can stop time
Enjoy the shoes you walk in
One day you'll were mine
It's now your turn 
seems your time has come
To take my place
You'll see 
It's not much fun 'cause
So foolish you are 
You can't even see
I was once you
One day you'll be 
Just like me too
 Wheels of life keep turning
Nothing can stop time
Enjoy the shoes you walk in
One day you'll wear mine
Now you're feeling guilty
Once you held the key
One day when I'm long gone
You'll see you've become me

The music for this song was written in about 10 minutes. I was just jamming to a preset pattern on the drum machine and it just came together. I like the main riff a lot it's real choppy, a lot of gunkin going on here, the triplets on the kick drum during the verse are cool. I like the way the solo, and the harmony in the chorus turned out. The arppegiated keyboard riff was added pretty late in this one, I like the way it holds the track together.

The lyric came later, they were written by Michele. Michele does a lot of volunteer work in her spare time. One place she spends a lot of time is West Caldwell Cares, it's a nursing home and the lyrics were inspired through her experience with the seniors in the home. It's disheartening to see how some of these people are treated in the later years of there lives, but it's also ironic the way life seems to come around full circle and these very same people find themselves in the same situation as they grow old.
