about

The hardest song we ever recorded, but also probably my favorite. I think it started off as like three different riffs that came from playing with a new delay pedal. James' lead guitar line is what really brought it together in the end. You can really hear our Chameleons' fetishization here. Initially had lyrics about abuse, then lyrics about nothing, and now it's somewhere inbetween.

lyrics

I toss a plank up
where the lake stops and breaks open
I fall apart cuz it gives me meaning
keeps me drinking until I'm awake
I keep a hand up for the last stop
and won't shiver, oh
send in a guard with a gate to nowhere
creaking opening over again

A drugged up country girl
who never knew her place
with a body like who will see me
not kind but friendly
no sleep no money

I let my voice fall
where the skin stops and splits open
I fall apart cuz it's nice and easy
nice and easy and over again
Got a hand up
and for the last time I won't shiver so
send in a guard with a gate to nowhere
creaking opening open to sing

A drugged up country girl
who never knew her place
is what I sing to myself in the mirror
myself
with the terror of nothing to sing

There's no hell hot enough
to burn this smell off

There's no one left to speak to
so leave the light on
