This song fell into the same odd spot chronolgically as Wasted sun although a version of it appeared on a compilation. Lyrically it was atempting to navigate two very different, diffcult situations neither of which resolved especially well.
This was a hard one to revisit. I can't see myself doing it again.
Good riff though.
lyrics
you were born
under the radar
in the last years
of the war
now there are shutters
all around your eyes
Neither of us know what they're for
You looked at the face
on the watch of the drowned man
so smooth
so clean and so white
you could not tell me
where the hands had stopped
after noon or
after midnight
but you don't look around lke you used to
oh what became of you?
So now I look
through brand new eyes
at these walls
so crimson and sour
waited so long to make my stand
oh whats another half an hour
So I close my eyes
steady my hand
turn my mouth into the trigger
an intake of breath
one more small death
as the room
and the world
get bigger
and you won't look at me like you used to
Oh whats a man to do?
all those things change
no matter what you say
or what you want them to do
