Who says PFTW can’t do pop? They just do it in their own little way. Something Bigger is the sixth track on With Baited Breath. It’s my attempt at explaining religion to myself, as someone who doesn’t necessarily subscribe to religion.
For a little more POP influenced side to PFTW listen to “Something Bigger”. There is an honest and optimistic approach to this song wrapped with candy crunchy guitar, BIG beefy bass, playful percussion drive, and uplifting vocal delivery – GOD this is good!

Lyrics:
I couldn’t begin to tell you
What I would say
Given the situation
Or the time of day
Too much stipulation
Too many rules
So don’t try to tell me
What you do isn’t cruel
Why try to lie
Why do you sin
You’ll find the only comfort
For you is within
If you soar for the clouds
You could only fly
But if you aim for the ground then
There’s where you’ll lie
You can’t deny a man his right to make mistakes
You can’t deny so don’t try to fight it he’ll get his breaks
From Pagan ways to religious craze
We must believe in something bigger or we’ll die confused
There once was a man
Who wanted to be heard
So he climbed the tallest building
Said he’d fly like a bird
Asked, “Why do you listen
Prefabricated lies?”
Said he’d had enough
Man said he would fly
Flying away
Try to escape
Said we should follow
Before it’s too late
But he don’t regret life
Said he’d do it again and again and again
Man he’d do it again
You can’t deny a man his right to make mistakes
You can’t deny so don’t try to fight it he’ll get his breaks
From Pagan ways to religious craze
We must believe in something bigger or we’ll die confused
We’ll die confused
Asking why
We must die
Why we claim God
Lives up in the sky
You can’t deny a man his right to make mistakes
You can’t deny so don’t try to fight it he’ll get his breaks
From Pagan ways to religious craze
We must believe in something bigger or we’ll die confused
You can’t deny a man his right to make mistakes
You can’t deny so don’t try to fight it he’ll get his breaks
From Pagan ways to religious craze
We must believe in something bigger or we’ll die confused
We’ll die confused
