about

I remember trying to write this several times from 1999 to 2001 or so. From there it kinda fell of the face of the earth. I know I tried to resuscitate it in 2009 by building a whole gigantic bridge and ending for it, but its frail condition could hardly support it and so the whole thing languished in the coffee can for later. For this project, I decided to cut away the necrosis and just present the earliest and most raw sketches as they attempted to exist so many years ago.

lyrics

How do you sleep
When we're as thick as thieves
Up to my neck in sheets
I'm burning up
I'm burning out

Where do we run
Nothing we do is fun any more
I think I'm done
I'm over and out
10 - 4

I thought you'd waste me if I ran
You thought you had me in the palm of your hand
But I wanted you to know
I'm not coming home
Today, tonight, or tomorrow

Would it help you to breathe
If I were to pack up and leave
Cause the things I've seen
Leave me sleeping on the couch
This aint working out

And your helicopter tongue
Always spinning around what's wrong
I think I'm done
I'm over and out
10-4

I thought you'd waste me if I ran
You thought you had me in the palm of your hand
But I wanted you to know
I'm not coming home
Today, tonight, or tomorrow
