On a camping trip with friends, he put his feet into a river which appeared calm, but was hiding a powerful current beneath. He was pulled in and trapped under an endless washing machine and, after fighting for what felt like forever, he surrendered & said a prayer, knowing only a miracle could save him. Unbeknownst to Eric, his best friend had been fighting above the surface attempting to reach for him without getting pulled in himself. Suddenly, Eric was dragged to shore. “Do Something” was written by Eric after waking up with severe anxiety on tour in 2018. He awoke with vivid memories of the near-drowning and wrote this song. “Do Something” later evolved as we wrote the album “Sure”. It is still a story of near-death. Whether we’re stuck in a river or a toxic relationship, fighting for our lives and praying for a miracle, sometimes the only way to be truly saved is to surrender and stop fighting.

I’m screaming in my head I’ve maybe moments left And I’m going down I said, did you hear me? My heart is ripping through my chest This can’t be my last breath Oh am I going down? I have given it all I got Losing grip on my last thread If you don’t do something now This’ll be the end I had dreamed of so much more Seen it flash before my eyes If you don’t do something now This’ll be goodbye Is this goodbye? Is this goodbye? Oh my god Oh my god I’m hanging on by a thread And I’m broken from trying to bend I see how this one will end As all your defenses crumble again I didn’t wanna walk away But you’d rather fight than face up to the pain I’ll no longer carry the weight I see through the lie that I was to blame And you never hear me And I ain’t got nothing left I’ve given you my last breath So if you want to go down Well, I’m not going down
