about

Some people just don't find someone.

Written summer 1999. Mark D. and the drummer recorded their parts in spring 2000 with the rest of them. Completed in May 2016. As this was the final note recorded, I'm regarding that as the release date of this album, as all the songs (except for the instrumental "Sinking") have been sitting around on my web page since then.

lyrics

Another beautiful thing you’ll never have
Most likely dangerous, guess you should be glad
Themes of remorse tinged with a failure to be sad
Love finds you flavorless
But I guess that doesn’t have to be bad

Probably, yes, probably, all these things shall pass
Probably, yes, easily, things like this lose mass
And if you’ve stayed here long enough
You may have developed some class
And courage to be reasonably lonely

Give up most everything to keep your feelings pure
Eschew this everything: the scent and its allure
Probably, you’ve got to be somewhat approaching sure
Sure enough that you’ll be reasonably lonely

Certain of life’s choices will chain you to your chair
Shackles to remind you that life isn’t always fair
But I don’t think this is one of those cases
You don’t need to feed other faces
All regret entails a failure to prepare

Another beautiful thing you’ll never have
Go stretch this line of thought ‘till you’re approaching glad
Themes of remorse have gotten tired and old and sad
Love finds you flavorless, but it still might be the best you’ve had.

Probably, yes, probably, all these things shall pass
Probably, yes, easily, things like this lose mass
And if you’ve stayed here long enough
You may have developed some class
And courage to be reasonably

Probably, yes, probably, this wave will subside
As circumstances shift and purchase you some pride
Probably, yes, easily, you’ll lose the loss implied
By the courage to be reasonably lonely
