about

The token dreamy, jazz-chorded acoustic tune, thoroughly out of place on the albums by my 90s bands. Here it emerges slightly from the "sinking" of the previous instrumental.

lyrics

I recall
Owning a lifetime in a rented hall
Always amazed at what went on in there
Left unimpressed by the increasing tear

I invest a lot in daily reflection
But what I forgot
Is ever mocking away at what I’ll never be
So do you see why I'm so stuck on me?

I believe
If you were leaving, you'd walk out on me
At least I would know
But with a piece of you
No one can tell what any change can do

Who am I?
That seems the question
But the facts belie
All other truths but what you used to fear
Idiot missing several fingers here

Some of us have long begun
Some of us are growing stronger
Some of us are getting older

Some of us are far from hopeless
Some of us are something else
Some of us are all together

I recall
Knowing somebody who I meant to call
I was erased and only sitting there
Half interchanged in suicidal hair

Action is not always wanting
And the fatal is not always near
It's an average time
Most days you're gonna be just fine
