about

Arrhythmia was the song that started everything for Parachute Musical. Before PM, I had a three piece where I played guitar. It was in that setting that I wrote the riff that would become Arrhythmia. When the three-piece disbanded I transposed that riff to piano. I realized that was where I felt most comfortable and thus, Arrhythmia came to be. I remember sitting down in Ben's basement the day that he was "trying out" (doesn't really make sense to say that since I was dying for him to be a part of PM). I nervously sat down to Ben's small keyboard (which flaunted no sustain pedal and stuck keys) and played Arrhythmia one time through for him. I began playing it again, he chimed in, and that first beat he played was the beat we used... It was kind of magical what happened in his basement that day. I tried writing a few songs before Arrhythmia but most were for guitar and for whatever reason, didn't go anywhere. This was the first time a became emotionally attached to something that I wrote and realized that this was the type of therapy I needed. I was hooked from that day on. The reason PM decided to take another stab at Arrhythmia was, again, because of its applicability to theme of the new record. Also, because we thought we could do it better justice this time around. Arrhythmia is a condition in which the heart beat may be too fast or too slow... irregularity. That was what I felt at the time this song was written. It felt like my heart was being tugged in every direction possible. Being forced into battles I didn't feel capable of fighting was too much... but if it was the only way to find out what I really wanted to do with my life, so be it. - Josh

lyrics

only time will tell that you have been a disgrace to a choice and only time will heal fill in this empty space i need an alibi so houston come in my heart has blead out of control and i'm not willing to bleed anymore so fill me in and speed this process please cause' in the end it's time that will be the death of me Please remove yourself from on high you're no saint I know cause' i've lived in your house of lies it twists it bends it breaks but it still stands so don't tell me a thing and don't apologize cause' i was in need of more I would love to pack up and leave if for once it meant that i'd be clear and free mentally i'll show none cause' none was shown to me Arrhythmic bleeding beats makes us strong makes us weak
