You say you won't be frightened Or turn your hate to rage
You claim that you won't be scared or angry
But time is not a virtue that you gave me
But you didn't give me the gift of time
And I won't say it's safe, but I'm in dire need
And while I won't say it's without risk, I desperately need it
I'm down on my knees, yeah
I'm begging and pleading with you
Who wants the love? Who wants the hate?
Who desires affection or animosity?
But we just need it 'cause the world will never change
But we require it due to the unchanging nature of the world
And all you ever wanted, my love
And everything that you ever desired, my sweetheart
And all you ever needed, my love
And all that you ever required, my darling
And all my time is wasted
And all of my time has been squandered
Not today, but maybe tomorrow
Perhaps not presently, but potentially in the future
Maybe tomorrow you won't be around to let me down
Perhaps tomorrow you won't be present to disappoint me
You say you won't be tortured You say you won't be torn
You declare that you won't be tormented or shattered
But time is the virtue that I gave you
But I bestowed upon you the gift of time
And I won't say it's safe, but I'm in dire need
And while it may not be secure, I desperately require it
I'm begging you please
I implore you to comply with my request
Not today, but maybe tomorrow
Perhaps not presently, but potentially in the future
Maybe tomorrow you won't be around to let me down
Perhaps tomorrow you won't be present to disappoint me
And all you ever wanted, my love
And everything that you ever desired, my sweetheart
And all you ever needed, my love
And all that you ever required, my darling
And all you ever wanted, my love
And everything that you ever desired, my sweetheart
And all my time was wasted
And all of my time has been squandered
Not today, but maybe tomorrow
Perhaps not presently, but potentially in the future
Maybe tomorrow you won't be around to let me down
Perhaps tomorrow you won't be present to disappoint me
Not today, not today (to let me down)
Not now, not at this moment (to disappoint me)
Not today, not today (to let me down)
Not now, not at this moment (to disappoint me)
Not today, not today (to let me down)
Not now, not at this moment (to disappoint me)
But maybe tomorrow
But potentially in the future

I searched for this song for so many years, over a decade, ever since I first heard its tantalizing harmonics hook on the local alternative station in the early 2000s, and then they stopped playing it on the radio.. I would hear snatches of it's melody in random places, once its opening hook was sampled for a random scene in a MTV reality tv show. I watched tons of videos on YouTube, endlessly searching.. Pressure 4-5, Finger Eleven, Taproot etc, but having falsely remembered the lyrics as Yesterday, instead of Not Today, my efforts were in vain. Finally I somehow got lucky and found it.. you cannot imagine my jubilation. Sheer euphoria.. I was haunted by the melody, I never thought I would find it or hear it again. The resolution of all my fruitless searches, like that line from the Peter Gabriel song. Thank God for you, YouTube. The Aughties were a very interesting and unique time, so glad to have found this fragment from it. Rock on, early 00 kids. Be Excellent to One Another.

These guys were very underrated. "Believe me" is another great song on this album.

Love this band back in the day. Saw them live in STL. Are they still together?? I still have my autographed CD. :)
Nichole Bushnell
Oh, did not know they changed their name. No wonder I haven't heard anything from them in years. I last saw then in STL. Thanks for the info. I still listen to their old CD I bought at that concert.
Michael Niewald
Wow, I have this album released as Mesh before they were forced to put the STL at the end.
