Story behind the song
recorded in one take on a computer microphone and picked up a strange tonal quality in the process. The song could never be rerecorded because it captured the mood of one suffocating afternoon and I just don't emote to it as strongly as I did then, plus the lyrics are pretty tame.
Lyrics
antidote father's body wilted away, and it left a giant hole His last words were "son you got great big shoes to fill" fill them you must and fill them you will but my friend the clock and I we been running round in circles i dont need your antidote, i'll just settle for the poison I dont need a pocketful of gold, small change will do Aint got no saving graces, just pissed off faces No I dont need a bottle of hope, some numbness will do she said you'd be jealous of me now if you could only see how I am Life is what you make of it and yours is a mess I'm far away from your petty insults no longer feeling down and as she speaks i'm trading in a smile for a frown i dont need your antidote, i'll just settle for the poison I dont need a pocketful of gold, small change will do Aint got no saving graces, just pissed off faces No I dont need a bottle of hope, some numbness will do The government said I had to work for forty years Nothing is free, there's nothing to keep, no not even dreams dream of money, wake up to worry, till we suffocate and die Apparently we've all been born to stimulate the economy i dont need your antidote, i'll just settle for the poison I dont need a pocketful of gold, small change will do Aint got no saving graces, just pissed off faces No I dont need a bottle of hope, some numbness will do My body is wilting away, it wont leave no giant hole my pockets are empty, my change is done, not jealous of anyone When I'm done being me, maybe then I can be the man you want me to be But my friend the clock says its time to run, run until we're free I dont need your antidote I dont need your antidote I dont need a pocketful of gold I dont need a bottle of hope I dont need your antidote
