6Gig is a rock band from the Portland, Maine area. It is classified by reviewers as an aggro or nu metal band, although the band is quite hard to classify because the only trait that the band shared with other nu metal bands is downtuned guitars. They actively played at clubs and different locations throughout New England. They released two CDs and several singles, as well as a video for the song "Hit the Ground" that received airplay on MTV2. Before the release of "Mind Over Mind", the band parted ways with drummer Dave Rankin and replaced him with Jason Stewart. Shortly after this, Rankin was found dead from a mixture of prescription drugs and alcohol.
Due to financial troubles at Ultimatum Music, "Mind Over Mind" never received an official release, instead being sold only over the label's website. This decision led the band to put the entire "Mind Over Mind" album online for free download in the summer of 2004 for a short time. The band separated in 2005 and its members have since joined other bands, including singer Walter Craven in Lost on Liftoff and Jason Stewart in Sidecar Radio.
tried to pull one over on you
it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to
but I'll try again and this time I won't give up this time I won't give up on you.
I will never compromise and I will never keep my promises to you
I will lie to your face I will lie to your face.
It comes back around again it was.....

You don't trust me so You detach me from my friends and everything else

sure enough now to let it go
You doubt me and make my decisions for me.

work hard towards nothing
a garden growing hurt
fresh wheels but no body
a truck that just won't work
dead leaves burn as easily as gasoline does....
and now your soul is bruised and now your soul is bruised and you color is violet.
Work hard for nothing
a garden growing rust
dead flower 4 barrel
fertilizing the dirt
dead leaves burn as easily as gasoline does. Now your soul is bruised
now your soul is bruised and your color is violence.
Why can't I decide between two things I've found In my own life time.
Left here all the time and now your soul
is bruised and your color is violence.
need for more mode shift
slip in one more stick shift
pack your bags then burn the flag
more or less the same black
pack your bags then burn the flag more or less the same black
you shove it in and then you pull it out
you lift the lid and watch it spill out.
She was built for it
we were made for this
used up another chance
we seem the same but don't understand.
I know you better that you think
but I just won't think about it
I watch you pack your bags and then run away pack your bags and then run away you run away.
You shove it in and then you pull it out
you lift the lid and watch it spill out.
She was built for it
we were made for this
used up another chance.
We seem the same....
I'll stay here alone and pretend to be happy.
chord spine the way of a splinter
masked bags with mixed days that didn't
rhyme to me or speak to me rhyme to me or speak to me
tan lines that burn in the winter
mixed up with masks that didn't
rhyme to me or speak to me.
I cried my quarters to sleep I didn't leave them
one on one with the woman in a magazine
looking at fast drying paint cans
looking at fast drying paint cans.

what we're looking for it's not in you.
They all seem like clones to me and I won't let them change me
this small crawl bug has seen through their skin
and the way they walk and the way they talk and the way they look
and the way they talk down to me.
What we're looking for it's not in you it's not in you.
I can't believe the things that they say.
I'm the biggest hypocrite that I know, I've ever known
you call me selfish
a shellfish too much to deal with
and I don't get out much
It's getting hard to know who I really am.
Quick blink turn yellow into red 5 placed on black square and I'm late again
too bad, your face, as it waits inside can't fake much more as it breaks inside.
Sick of being late again.
You're the biggest liar that I know I've ever know
you call me selfish your the most selfish person that I've ever know
and you don't get out much
it's getting hard to know who I really am.

I thought I could break the sound barrier just by trying
to hit with focus and at random and never dying
a waterfall flowing upstream only human
I though I could break the sound barrier.
I'm only stopping for heavy breathing I'm only stopping to hit the ground
only stopping for heavy breathing I'm only stopping to hit the ground.
Keep my head up keep swinging and it'll come back to me
a boomerang exploding I'm dancing in the karma seat
the tin ball fizzled pin prick and so free
I thought I could break the sound barrier.
can't get much more than I'm finding,
too many places,
I'm bound too close to the quota
rest stops the time clock it's winding it's way,
sound advice your taking to close to your heart.
fighting..your way.
. Four folds the blue box.
Can't fold out my friends for long but that was charity
set in my ways but that was chastity
good-bye my friends....but that was yesterday.
That was yesterday
too bad about yesterday.

It's nice to see you down low it's good to be part of it.
I find it hard to believe your bullshit
licking bloodied knees
perfect timing perfect timing.
I keep my method to myself I keep my method to myself far away left inside
I keep my method to myself.
You're perfect in everyday your bullshit deeper everyday.
Perfect timing.
I keep my method to myself2> far away left inside
I keep my method to myself.
She lets me bare my weight on myself it's too bad
your full of shit keep my mouth shut.
looking down on my home planet
what a lonely place to be
said good-bye to all family
don't think I'll be back home in time to see them off to heaven
from the places that I've been.
It wasn't technically perfect I
t couldn't have been any better
falling faster and faster
I couldn't stop her momentum
couldn't stop her from laughing
I wish that I had seen it coming.
Your little girl keeps asking for you and
all Your mom can do is cry
and yeah I'm doing just fine
don't know why I'm writing to you
it makes it feel like Your coming home
I can't believe you left us all here
it's just like you died with no funeral.
