Recorded on a computer mic while 1/2 intoxicated...my wrist got tired a good portion thru, so ignore the crappier then normal guitar.
A guitar. A girl. Some words. A voice. 'Nuff said.
Lyrics
leavin town ('04)
v: ive been so tired, lately
i can bearly keep my eyes open
to look at the world
stretched out in front of me
my feet are achy from
walking down this empty street
where all the store front windows
have their shades drawn with
"were closed" signs hanging crookedly
unwelcome, unwanted, unnoticed, unfaithful
un-con-tol-able
panic
knowing that
when i get home it will be
just more of the same
a "we're closed" sign hanging
behind your pupils as you
stare at me
stare at me--
blankly.
r: and theres no more conversation
cos theres nothing more to say
ill just choose my destination
and take off, just run away.
v: youve been so distant, lately
so two dimentional
its like talking to a cardboard cutout
of someone i used to know
smile in all the right places
nod your head and and say you know
exaclty what im talking about
while your eyes betray your confusion
and your face shows your disintrest like
a neon light that wants me to eat at joes
a whisper, a whimper, a warning, a reason
just to say
"stop your prattle!
just because you always talk
doesnt mean you are saying anything
communication is of the mind, girl
and the body, girl
and the soul--"
r: and theres no more conversation
cos theres nothing more to say
ill just choose my destination
and take off, just run away.
b: becasuse weve both known this was over
for so very long, now
yet we just keep up this act
kickin a dead horse wont
bring it back to life
so im taking the initiative
takeing the gun into my hands
and shootin this sucker in the head.
i think i killed it now
r: and theres no more conversation
cos theres nothing more to say
ill just choose my destination
and take off, just run away.
c: ill run away
just get my ticket and get
on that first greyhound out of here
for a place unknown that has to be
fuckin paradise next to this place, kid.
a fuckin paradise
cos im just so tired of
walking down these empty streets
im riding this time
im outta here.
