about

A demo/b-side from the "Growth and Squalor" Sessions, spring 2011.

lyrics

We all shared what we could of ourselves
The morning light faded like a dolphin's cry
Baby girls wept a tear for their homes
The storm's outside but we won't let them know

We all spent what we could of ourselves
The garden had wilted and that's when the showers came
Baby boys are colored redder than sin
The storm's outside but we won't let it in

We all shed what was left of ourselves
The martyr inside, he never lets things go
The older dogs got a fight in them still
There's a storm in mind but I seek cheaper thrills

And as the greenery got darker, I never wanted to make it through

That wasn't right, that wasn't me
That was the coldest that I have ever been
You filled all my thoughts, you let me back in
You said what you did and now I can be good again
I'll dig out a hole, I'll plant all the seeds
I'll wait for the growth so the kids can see life again
Been sleeping for days, been a slave to my dreams
I'd rather be dead than stuck somewhere in between
