about

Live for Live Music: “With The Werks new concept album Inside A Dream due out next Friday, November 20th, we couldn't contain our excitement. The fourth studio album looks to be their most complex and mature yet, as the release captures the ethereal feeling of being in a dream. Loaded with personal hopes, aspirations, and fears, Inside A Dream continues to push the boundaries in ways that only The Werks are able to obtain.

In anticipation of that release, we're delighted to share the song "Give Or Take", exclusively on L4LM. "Give Or Take" borders on indie rock, as the lessons of life unfold over a slow-building backdrop. It's a surprise from a jam band, yet wholly welcomed in their catalog all the same.”

lyrics

Give or Take

Everyday I try to find a way to say the words you want to hear,
But I'm paralyzed with fear
They'll wind up insincere
Feel so lost inside who am I to give advice
I finally realize only you can live your life
Trapped inside this place,
Mistakes can't be erased
And now there's no escape I'm just a victim of my fate

And time... slowly strips away the things that matter in our lives
There is no pleasure without pain
Nothing stays the same for very long

Finally found a way to seize the day and say the words inside my head
The gold weighed more than led and something needed said
Try to live my life, to give and sacrifice
I know that it’s time only I can change inside
Life is not a race,
A destination nor a place
It's the moments we create,
What you give not what you take

And I... finally see the light the world designed around my eyes
As I look back on my life, I think about the ones I left behind
