Liner Notes

Thought I might try to actually use GarageBand for its intended purpose instead of sketchbooking tracks to export and edit elsewhere, and 22 tracks later, here we are. I had the verse melody in my head for a while and figured it for a guitar ballad/lament, until I realized it lent itself to the character of French trip-hop, once I got the wurlitzer and beat loops in place.

I didn't set out to steal from #SigurRos or #WeyesBlood or #FatherJohnMisty, but what's in your head is in your head, isn't it.

Anyway, here's the epic.

Lyrics

Everyone freeze
Nobody leaves
Hard to believe this must be the place
So we begin
Trapped in my skin
Pulling the pin, a grin splits my face

The bonds give way, the blindfold slips
The gag is undone, the trap is tripped
The hardest to try to come to grips
Was hearing the words fall from your lips

You can't destroy a thing then go about your day
You had to know it ended here somehow someday

Everyone freeze
Everyone, please
Everyone sees me sink like a stone
You were the one
Poisoned the sun
Leaving me undefended and alone

The manacle clicks, the fix is in
Prohibits escapes and scrapes the skin
Bolting the locks on every door
The shears were Delilah's, now they're yours

You can't destroy a thing then go about your day
You had to know it ended here somehow someday
